micro labs limited - bupropion hydrochloride (unii: zg7e5poy8o) (bupropion - unii:01zg3tpx31) - bupropion hydrochloride tablets are indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (mdd), as defined by the diagnostic and statistical manual (dsm). the efficacy of bupropion hydrochloride tablets in the treatment of a major depressive episode was established in two 4-week controlled inpatient trials and one 6-week controlled outpatient trial of adult subjects with mdd [see clinical studies (14)] . - bupropion hydrochloride tablets are contraindicated in patients with a seizure disorder. - bupropion hydrochloride tablets are contraindicated in patients with a current or prior diagnosis of bulimia or anorexia nervosa as a higher incidence of seizures was observed in such patients treated with bupropion hydrochloride tablets  [see warnings and precautions (5.3)] . - bupropion hydrochloride tablets are contraindicated in patients undergoing abrupt discontinuation of alcohol, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and antiepileptic drugs [see warnings and precautions (5.3), drug interactions (7.3)] . - the use of maois (intended to treat psychiatric disorders) concomitantly with bupropion hydrochloride tablets or within 14 days of discontinuing treatment with bupropion hydrochloride tablets are contraindicated. there is an increased risk of hypertensive reactions when bupropion hydrochloride tablets are used concomitantly with maois. the use of bupropion hydrochloride tablets within 14 days of discontinuing treatment with an maoi is also contraindicated. starting bupropion hydrochloride tablets in a patient treated with reversible maois such as linezolid or intravenous methylene blue is contraindicated [see dosage and administration (2.4, 2.5), warnings and precautions (5.4), drug interactions (7.6)]. - bupropion hydrochloride tablets are contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to bupropion or other ingredients of bupropion hydrochloride tablets. anaphylactoid/anaphylactic reactions and stevens-johnson syndrome have been reported [see warnings and precautions (5.8)]. risk summary data from epidemiological studies of pregnant women exposed to bupropion in the first trimester have not identified an increased risk of congenital malformations overall (see data). there are risks to the mother associated with untreated depression in pregnancy (see clinical considerations). when bupropion was administered to pregnant rats during organogenesis, there was no evidence of fetal malformations at doses up to approximately 10 times the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd) of 450 mg/day. when given to pregnant rabbits during organogenesis, non-dose-related increases in incidence of fetal malformations and skeletal variations were observed at doses approximately equal to the mrhd and greater. decreased fetal weights were seen at doses twice the mrhd and greater (see animal data). the estimated background risk for major birth defects and miscarriage is unknown for the indicated population. all pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. in the u.s. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and of miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. clinical considerations disease-associated maternal and/or embryo/fetal risk: a prospective, longitudinal study followed 201 pregnant women with a history of major depressive disorder who were euthymic and taking antidepressants during pregnancy at the beginning of pregnancy. the women who discontinued antidepressants during pregnancy were more likely to experience a relapse of major depression than women who continued antidepressants. consider the risks to the mother of untreated depression and potential effects on the fetus when discontinuing or changing treatment with antidepressant medications during pregnancy and postpartum. data human data: data from the international bupropion pregnancy registry (675 first trimester exposures) and a retrospective cohort study using the united healthcare database (1,213 first trimester exposures) did not show an increased risk for malformations overall. the registry was not designed or powered to evaluate specific defects but suggested a possible increase in cardiac malformations. no increased risk for cardiovascular malformations overall has been observed after bupropion exposure during the first trimester. the prospectively observed rate of cardiovascular malformations in pregnancies with exposure to bupropion in the first trimester from the international pregnancy registry was 1.3% (9 cardiovascular malformations/675 first trimester maternal bupropion exposures), which is similar to the background rate of cardiovascular malformations (approximately 1%). data from the united healthcare database, which had a limited number of exposed cases with cardiovascular malformations, and a case-control study (6,853 infants with cardiovascular malformations and 5,763 with non-cardiovascular malformations) of self-reported bupropion use from the national birth defects prevention study (nbdps) did not show an increased risk for cardiovascular malformations overall after bupropion exposure during the first trimester. study findings on bupropion exposure during the first trimester and risk for left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (lvoto) are inconsistent and do not allow conclusions regarding a possible association. the united healthcare database lacked sufficient power to evaluate this association; the nbdps found increased risk for lvoto (n = 10; adjusted or = 2.6; 95% ci: 1.2, 5.7), and the slone epidemiology case control study did not find increased risk for lvoto. study findings on bupropion exposure during the first trimester and risk for ventricular septal defect (vsd) are inconsistent and do not allow conclusions regarding a possible association. the slone epidemiology study found an increased risk for vsd following first trimester maternal bupropion exposure (n = 17; adjusted or = 2.5; 95% ci: 1.3, 5.0) but did not find increased risk for any other cardiovascular malformations studied (including lvoto as above). the nbdps and united healthcare database study did not find an association between first trimester maternal bupropion exposure and vsd. for the findings of lvoto and vsd, the studies were limited by the small number of exposed cases, inconsistent findings among studies, and the potential for chance findings from multiple comparisons in case control studies. animal data: in studies conducted in pregnant rats and rabbits, bupropion was administered orally during the period of organogenesis at doses of up to 450 and 150 mg/kg/day, respectively (approximately 10 and 6 times the mrhd, respectively, on a mg/m 2 basis). there was no evidence of fetal malformations in rats. when given to pregnant rabbits during organogenesis, non-dose–related increases in incidence of fetal malformations and skeletal variations were observed at the lowest dose tested (25 mg/kg/day, approximately equal to the mrhd on a mg/m 2 basis) and greater. decreased fetal weights were observed at doses of 50 mg/kg/day (approximately 2 times the mrhd on a mg/m 2 basis) and greater. no maternal toxicity was evident at doses of 50 mg/kg/day or less. in a pre-and postnatal development study, bupropion administered orally to pregnant rats at doses of up to 150 mg/kg/day (approximately 3 times the mrhd on a mg/m 2 basis) from embryonic implantation through lactation had no effect on pup growth or development. risk summary data from published literature report the presence of bupropion and its metabolites in human milk (see data) . there are no data on the effects of bupropion or its metabolites on milk production. limited data from postmarketing reports have not identified a clear association of adverse reactions in the breastfed infant. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for bupropion hydrochloride tablets and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from bupropion hydrochloride tablets or from the underlying maternal condition. data in a lactation study of 10 women, levels of orally dosed bupropion and its active metabolites were measured in expressed milk. the average daily infant exposure (assuming 150 ml/kg daily consumption) to bupropion and its active metabolites was 2% of the maternal weight-adjusted dose. postmarketing reports have described seizures in breastfed infants. the relationship of bupropion exposure and these seizures is unclear. safety and effectiveness in the pediatric population have not been established [see boxed warning, warnings and precautions (5.1)] . of the approximately 6,000 subjects who participated in clinical trials with bupropion sustained-release tablets (depression and smoking cessation trials), 275 were aged ≥65 years and 47 were aged ≥75 years. in addition, several hundred subjects aged ≥65 years participated in clinical trials using the immediate-release formulation of bupropion (depression trials). no overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects. reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. bupropion is extensively metabolized in the liver to active metabolites, which are further metabolized and excreted by the kidneys. the risk of adverse reactions may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, it may be necessary to consider this factor in dose selection; it may be useful to monitor renal function [see dosage and administration (2.3), use in specific populations (8.6), clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. consider a reduced dose and/or dosing frequency of bupropion hydrochloride tablets in patients with renal impairment (gfr less than 90 ml/min). bupropion and its metabolites are cleared renally and may accumulate in such patients to a greater extent than usual. monitor closely for adverse reactions that could indicate high bupropion or metabolite exposures [see dosage and administration (2.3), clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . in patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment (child-pugh score: 7 to 15), the maximum dose of bupropion hydrochloride tablet is 75 mg daily. in patients with mild hepatic impairment (child-pugh score: 5 to 6), consider reducing the dose and/or frequency of dosing [see dosage and administration (2.2),   clinical pharmacology (12.3) ] . bupropion is not a controlled substance. humans controlled clinical trials conducted in normal volunteers, in subjects with a history of multiple drug abuse, and in depressed subjects showed some increase in motor activity and agitation/excitement, often typical of central stimulant activity. in a population of individuals experienced with drugs of abuse, a single oral dose of 400 mg of bupropion produced mild amphetamine-like activity as compared with placebo on the morphine-benzedrine subscale of the addiction research center inventories (arci) and a score greater than placebo but less than 15 mg of the schedule ii stimulant dextroamphetamine on the liking scale of the arci. these scales measure general feelings of euphoria and drug liking which are often associated with abuse potential. findings in clinical trials, however, are not known to reliably predict the abuse potential of drugs. nonetheless, evidence from single-dose trials does suggest that the recommended daily dosage of bupropion when administered orally in divided doses is not likely to be significantly reinforcing to amphetamine or cns stimulant abusers. however, higher doses (which could not be tested because of the risk of seizure) might be modestly attractive to those who abuse cns stimulant drugs. bupropion hydrochloride tablet is intended for oral use only. the inhalation of crushed tablets or injection of dissolved bupropion has been reported. seizures and/or cases of death have been reported when bupropion has been administered intranasally or by parenteral injection. animals studies in rodents and primates demonstrated that bupropion exhibits some pharmacologic actions common to psychostimulants. in rodents, it has been shown to increase locomotor activity, elicit a mild stereotyped behavior response, and increase rates of responding in several schedule-controlled behavior paradigms. in primate models assessing the positive-reinforcing effects of psychoactive drugs, bupropion was self-administered intravenously. in rats, bupropion produced amphetamine-like and cocaine-like discriminative stimulus effects in drug discrimination paradigms used to characterize the subjective effects of psychoactive drugs.

micro labs limited - clobazam (unii: 2mro291b4u) (clobazam - unii:2mro291b4u) - clobazam tablet is indicated for the adjunctive treatment of seizures associated with lennox-gastaut syndrome (lgs) in patients 2 years of age or older. clobazam tablets are contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to the drug or its ingredients. hypersensitivity reactions have included serious dermatological reactions [see warnings and precautions (5.6 , 5.7 ) ]. pregnancy registry there is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to aeds, such as clobazam, during pregnancy. healthcare providers are encouraged to recommend that pregnant women taking clobazam enroll in the north american antiepileptic drug (naaed) pregnancy registry by calling 1-888-233-2334 or online at http://www.aedpregnancyregistry.org/.  risk summary neonates born to mothers using benzodiazepines late in pregnancy have been reported to experience symptoms of sedation and/or neonatal withdrawal [ see warnings and precautions (5.9) and clinical considerations ]. available data from published observational studies of pregnant women exposed to benzodiazepines do not report a clear association with benzodiazepines and major birth defects ( see data ). administration of clobazam to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis or to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation resulted in developmental toxicity, including increased incidences of fetal malformations and mortality, at plasma exposures for clobazam and its major active metabolite, n-desmethylclobazam, below those expected at therapeutic doses in patients [see animal data] . data for other benzodiazepines suggest the possibility of long-term effects on neurobehavioral and immunological function in animals following prenatal exposure to benzodiazepines at clinically relevant doses. clobazam should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit to the mother justifies the potential risk to the fetus. advise a pregnant woman and women of childbearing age of the potential risk to a fetus. the background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. all pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. in the u.s. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and of miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. clinical considerations fetal/neonatal adverse reactions    benzodiazepines cross the placenta and may produce respiratory depression, hypotonia, and sedation in neonates. monitor neonates exposed to clobazam during pregnancy or labor for signs of sedation, respiratory depression, hypotonia, and feeding problems. monitor neonates exposed to clobazam during pregnancy for signs of withdrawal. manage these neonates accordingly [ see warnings and precautions (5.9) ]. data human data   published data from observational studies on the use of benzodiazepines during pregnancy do not report a clear association with benzodiazepines and major birth defects. although early studies reported an increased risk of congenital malformations with diazepam and chlordiazepoxide, there was no consistent pattern noted. in addition, the majority of more recent case-control and cohort studies of benzodiazepine use during pregnancy, which were adjusted for confounding exposures to alcohol, tobacco and other medications, have not confirmed these findings. animal data   in a study in which clobazam (0, 150, 450, or 750 mg/kg/day) was orally administered to pregnant rats throughout the period of organogenesis, embryofetal mortality and incidences of fetal skeletal variations were increased at all doses. the low-effect dose for embryofetal developmental toxicity in rats (150 mg/kg/day) was associated with plasma exposures (auc) for clobazam and its major active metabolite, n-desmethylclobazam, lower than those in humans at the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd) of 40 mg/day. oral administration of clobazam (0, 10, 30, or 75 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rabbits throughout the period of organogenesis resulted in decreased fetal body weights, and increased incidences of fetal malformations (visceral and skeletal) at the mid and high doses, and an increase in embryofetal mortality at the high dose. incidences of fetal variations were increased at all doses. the highest dose tested was associated with maternal toxicity (ataxia and decreased activity). the low-effect dose for embryofetal developmental toxicity in rabbits (10 mg/kg/day) was associated with plasma exposures for clobazam and n-desmethylclobazam lower than those in humans at the mrhd. oral administration of clobazam (0, 50, 350, or 750 mg/kg/day) to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation resulted in increased embryofetal mortality at the high dose, decreased pup survival at the mid and high doses and alterations in offspring behavior (locomotor activity) at all doses. the low-effect dose for adverse effects on pre- and postnatal development in rats (50 mg/kg/day) was associated with plasma exposures for clobazam and n-desmethylclobazam lower than those in humans at the mrhd. risk summary clobazam is excreted in human milk ( see data ).  there are reports of sedation, poor feeding and poor weight gain in infants exposed to benzodiazepines through breast milk. there are no data on the effects of clobazam on milk production. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for clobazam and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from clobazam or from the underlying maternal condition. clinical considerations adverse reactions such as somnolence and difficulty feeding have been reported in infants during breastfeeding in postmarketing experience with clobazam. infants exposed to clobazam through breast milk should be monitored for sedation, poor feeding and poor weight gain. data scientific literature on clobazam use during lactation is limited. after short-term administration, clobazam and n-desmethylclobazam are transferred into breast milk. administration of clobazam to rats prior to and during mating and early gestation resulted in adverse effects on fertility and early embryonic development at plasma exposures for clobazam and its major active metabolite, n-desmethylclobazam, below those in humans at the mrhd [see nonclinical toxicology (13.1)] . safety and effectiveness in patients less than 2 years of age have not been established. in a study in which clobazam (0, 4, 36, or 120 mg/kg/day) was orally administered to rats during the juvenile period of development (postnatal days 14 to 48), adverse effects on growth (decreased bone density and bone length) and behavior (altered motor activity and auditory startle response; learning deficit) were observed at the high dose. the effect on bone density, but not on behavior, was reversible when drug was discontinued. the no-effect level for juvenile toxicity (36 mg/kg/day) was associated with plasma exposures (auc) to clobazam and its major active metabolite, n-desmethylclobazam, less than those expected at therapeutic doses in pediatric patients. clinical studies of clobazam did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. however, elderly subjects appear to eliminate clobazam more slowly than younger subjects based on population pharmacokinetic analysis. for these reasons, the initial dose in elderly patients should be 5 mg/day. patients should be titrated initially to 10 to 20 mg/day. patients may be titrated further to a maximum daily dose of 40 mg if tolerated [see dosage and administration (2.4) , clinical pharmacology (12.3) ] . concentrations of clobazam’s active metabolite, n-desmethylclobazam, are higher in cyp2c19 poor metabolizers than in extensive metabolizers. for this reason, dosage modification is recommended [see dosage and administration (2.5),clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . the pharmacokinetics of clobazam were evaluated in patients with mild and moderate renal impairment. there were no significant differences in systemic exposure (auc and c max ) between patients with mild or moderate renal impairment and healthy subjects. no dose adjustment is required for patients with mild and moderate renal impairment. there is essentially no experience with clobazam in patients with severe renal impairment or esrd. it is not known if clobazam or its active metabolite, n-desmethylclobazam, is dialyzable [see dosage and administration (2.6) , clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . clobazam is hepatically metabolized; however, there are limited data to characterize the effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of clobazam. for this reason, dosage adjustment is recommended in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment (child-pugh score 5 to 9). there is inadequate information about metabolism of clobazam in patients with severe hepatic impairment [see dosage and administration (2.7) , clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . clobazam tablet contains clobazam, a schedule iv controlled substance. clobazam is a benzodiazepine and a cns depressant with a potential for abuse and addiction. abuse is the intentional, non-therapeutic use of a drug, even once, for its desirable psychological or physiological effects. misuse is the intentional use, for therapeutic purposes, of a drug by an individual in a way other than prescribed by a health care provider or for whom it was not prescribed. drug addiction is a cluster of behavioral, cognitive, and physiological phenomena that may include a strong desire to take the drug, difficulties in controlling drug use (e.g., continuing drug use despite harmful consequences, giving a higher priority to drug use than other activities and obligations), and possible tolerance or physical dependence. even taking benzodiazepines as prescribed may put patients at risk for abuse and misuse of their medication. abuse and misuse of benzodiazepines may lead to addiction. abuse and misuse of benzodiazepines often (but not always) involve the use of doses greater than the maximum recommended dosage and commonly involve concomitant use of other medications, alcohol, and/or illicit substances, which is associated with an increased frequency of serious adverse outcomes, including respiratory depression, overdose, or death. benzodiazepines are often sought by individuals who abuse drugs and other substances, and by individuals with addictive disorders [see warnings and precautions (5.2)]. the following adverse reactions have occurred with benzodiazepine abuse and/or misuse: abdominal pain, amnesia, anorexia, anxiety, aggression, ataxia, blurred vision, confusion, depression, disinhibition, disorientation, dizziness, euphoria, impaired concentration and memory, indigestion, irritability, muscle pain, slurred speech, tremors, and vertigo. the following severe adverse reactions have occurred with benzodiazepine abuse and/or misuse: delirium, paranoia, suicidal ideation and behavior, seizures, coma, breathing difficulty, and death. death is more often associated with polysubstance use (especially benzodiazepines with other cns depressants such as opioids and alcohol). the world health organization epidemiology database contains reports of drug abuse, misuse, and overdoses associated with clobazam. physical dependence clobazam may produce physical dependence from continued therapy. physical dependence is a state that develops as a result of physiological adaptation in response to repeated drug use, manifested by withdrawal signs and symptoms after abrupt discontinuation or a significant dose reduction of a drug. abrupt discontinuation or rapid dosage reduction of benzodiazepines or administration of flumazenil, a benzodiazepine antagonist, may precipitate acute withdrawal reactions, including seizures, which can be life-threatening. patients at an increased risk of withdrawal adverse reactions after benzodiazepine discontinuation or rapid dosage reduction include those who take higher dosages (i.e., higher and/or more frequent doses) and those who have had longer durations of use [see warnings and precautions (5.3)]. in clinical trials, cases of dependency were reported following abrupt discontinuation of clobazam. to reduce the risk of withdrawal reactions, use a gradual taper to discontinue clobazam or reduce the dosage [see  dosage and administration (2.2)and warnings and precautions (5.3)]. acute withdrawal signs and symptoms acute withdrawal signs and symptoms associated with benzodiazepines have included abnormal involuntary movements, anxiety, blurred vision, depersonalization, depression, derealization, dizziness, fatigue, gastrointestinal adverse reactions (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, decreased appetite), headache, hyperacusis, hypertension, irritability, insomnia, memory impairment, muscle pain and stiffness, panic attacks, photophobia, restlessness, tachycardia, and tremor. more severe acute withdrawal signs and symptoms, including life-threatening reactions, have included catatonia, convulsions, delirium tremens, depression, hallucinations, mania, psychosis, seizures, and suicidality. protracted withdrawal syndrome protracted withdrawal syndrome associated with benzodiazepines is characterized by anxiety, cognitive impairment, depression, insomnia, formication, motor symptoms (e.g., weakness, tremor, muscle twitches), paresthesia, and tinnitus that persists beyond 4 to 6 weeks after initial benzodiazepine withdrawal. protracted withdrawal symptoms may last weeks to more than 12 months. as a result, there may be difficulty in differentiating withdrawal symptoms from potential re-emergence or continuation of symptoms for which the benzodiazepine was being used. tolerance tolerance to clobazam may develop from continued therapy. tolerance is a physiological state characterized by a reduced response to a drug after repeated administration (i.e., a higher dose of a drug is required to produce the same effect that was once obtained at a lower dose). tolerance to the therapeutic effect of clobazam may develop; however, little tolerance develops to the amnestic reactions and other cognitive impairments caused by benzodiazepines.

tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets are indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of hiv-1 infection in adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 17 kg [see clinical studies (14)] . emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets are indicated in at-risk adults and adolescents weighing at least 35 kg for pre-exposure prophylaxis (prep) to reduce the risk of sexually acquired hiv-1 infection. individuals must have a negative hiv-1 test immediately prior to initiating emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for hiv-1 prep [see dosage and administration (2.2), warnings and precautions (5.2 )]. emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for hiv-1 prep is contraindicated in individuals with unknown or positive hiv-1 status [see warnings and precautions (5.2)]. pregnancy exposure registry there is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets during pregnancy. healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the antiretroviral pregnancy registry (apr) at 1-800-258-4263. risk summary data on the use of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate during pregnancy from observational studies have shown no increased risk of major birth defects. available data from the apr show no significant difference in the overall risk of major birth defects with first trimester exposure for emtricitabine (ftc) (2.3%) or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tdf) (2.1%) compared with the background rate for major birth defects of 2.7% in a u.s. reference population of the metropolitan atlanta congenital defects program (macdp) (see data) . the rate of miscarriage for individual drugs is not reported in the apr. in the u.s. general population, the estimated background risk of miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 15 to 20%. in animal reproduction studies, no adverse developmental effects were observed when the components of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets were administered separately at doses/exposures ≥60 (ftc), ≥14 (tdf) and 2.7 (tenofovir) times those of the recommended daily dose of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (see data) . clinical considerations disease-associated maternal and/or embryo/fetal risk hiv-1 prep : published studies indicate an increased risk of hiv-1 infection during pregnancy and an increased risk of mother to child transmission during acute hiv-1 infection. in women at risk of acquiring hiv-1, consideration should be given to methods to prevent acquisition of hiv, including continuing or initiating emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for hiv-1 prep, during pregnancy. data human data emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for hiv-1 prep : in an observational study based on prospective reports to the apr, 78 hiv-seronegative women exposed to emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate during pregnancy delivered live-born infants with no major malformations. all but one were first trimester exposures, and the median duration of exposure was 10.5 weeks. there were no new safety findings in the women receiving emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for hiv-1 prep compared with hiv-1 infected women treated with other antiretroviral medications. emtricitabine : based on prospective reports to the apr of exposures to ftc-containing regimens during pregnancy resulting in live births (including over 3,300 exposed in the first trimester and over 1,300 exposed in the second/third trimester), the prevalence of major birth defects in live births was 2.6% (95% ci: 2.1% to 3.2%) and 2.3% (95% ci: 1.6% to 3.3%) following first and second/third trimester exposure, respectively, to ftc-containing regimens. tenofovir disoproxil fumarate : based on prospective reports to the apr of exposures to tdf-containing regimens during pregnancy resulting in live births (including over 4,000 exposed in the first trimester and over 1,700 exposed in the second/third trimester), the prevalence of major birth defects in live births was 2.4% (95% ci: 2.0% to 2.9%) and 2.4% (95% ci: 1.7% to 3.2%) following first and second/third trimester exposure, respectively, to tdf-containing regimens. methodologic limitations of the apr include the use of macdp as the external comparator group. the macdp population is not disease-specific, evaluates women and infants from a limited geographic area, and does not include outcomes for births that occurred at <20 weeks gestation. additionally, published observational studies on emtricitabine and tenofovir exposure in pregnancy have not shown an increased risk for major malformations. animal data emtricitabine : ftc was administered orally to pregnant mice (at 0, 250, 500, or 1,000 mg/kg/day), and rabbits (at 0, 100, 300, or 1,000 mg/kg/day) through organogenesis (on gestation days 6 through 15, and 7 through 19, respectively). no significant toxicological effects were observed in embryo-fetal toxicity studies performed with ftc in mice at exposures (auc) approximately 60 times higher and in rabbits at approximately 120 times higher than human exposures at the recommended daily dose. in a pre/postnatal development study in mice, ftc was administered orally at doses up to 1,000 mg/kg/day; no significant adverse effects directly related to drug were observed in the offspring exposed daily from before birth (in utero ) through sexual maturity at daily exposures (auc) of approximately 60 times higher than human exposures at the recommended daily dose. tenofovir disoproxil fumarate : tdf was administered orally to pregnant rats (at 0, 50, 150, or 450 mg/kg/day) and rabbits (at 0, 30, 100, or 300 mg/kg/day) through organogenesis (on gestation days 7 through 17, and 6 through 18, respectively). no significant toxicological effects were observed in embryo-fetal toxicity studies performed with tdf in rats at doses up to 14 times the human dose based on body surface area comparisons and in rabbits at doses up to 19 times the human dose based on body surface area comparisons. in a pre/postnatal development study in rats, tdf was administered orally through lactation at doses up to 600 mg/kg/day; no adverse effects were observed in the offspring at tenofovir exposures of approximately 2.7 times higher than human exposures at the recommended daily dose of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. risk summary based on published data, ftc and tenofovir have been shown to be present in human breast milk (see data) . it is not known if the components of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets affect milk production or have effects on the breastfed child. treatment of hiv-1 infection: the centers for disease control and prevention recommend that hiv-1 infected mothers not breastfeed their infants to avoid risking postnatal transmission of hiv-1. because of the potential for: (1) hiv transmission (in hiv-negative infants); (2) developing viral resistance (in hiv-positive infants); and (3) adverse reactions in a breastfed infant similar to those seen in adults, instruct mothers not to breastfeed if they are taking emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for the treatment of hiv-1. hiv-1 prep: in hiv-uninfected women, the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding and the mother’s clinical need for emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for hiv-1 prep should be considered along with any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and the risk of hiv-1 acquisition due to nonadherence and subsequent mother to child transmission. women should not breastfeed if acute hiv-1 infection is suspected because of the risk of hiv-1 transmission to the infant. data hiv-1 prep : in a study of 50 breastfeeding women who received emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for hiv-1 prep between 1 and 24 weeks postpartum (median 13 weeks), after 7 days of treatment, tenofovir was undetectable but ftc was detectable in the plasma of most infants. in these infants, the average ftc plasma concentration was less than 1% of the ftc cmax observed in hiv-infected infants (up to 3 months of age) receiving the therapeutic dose of ftc (3 mg/kg/day). there were no serious adverse events. two infants (4%) had an adverse event of mild diarrhea which resolved. treatment of hiv-1 infection no pediatric clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in patients with hiv-1 infection. data from previously conducted trials with the individual drug products, ftc and tdf, were relied upon to support dosage recommendations for emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets. for additional information, consult the prescribing information for emtriva and viread. emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate should only be administered to hiv-1 infected pediatric patients with body weight greater than or equal to 17 kg and who are able to swallow a tablet. because it is a fixed-dose combination tablet, emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablet cannot be adjusted for patients of lower weight [see warnings and precautions (5.5) , adverse reactions (6.1) and clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets are not approved for use in pediatric patients weighing less than 17 kg. hiv-1 prep the safety and effectiveness of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for hiv-1 prep in at-risk adolescents weighing at least 35 kg is supported by data from adequate and well-controlled studies of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for hiv-1 prep in adults with additional data from safety and pharmacokinetic studies in previously conducted trials with the individual drug products, ftc and tdf, in hiv-1 infected adults and pediatric subjects [see dosage and administration (2.5), adverse reactions (6.1), clinical pharmacology (12.3 and 12.4), and clinical studies (14.3 and 14.4)] . safety, adherence, and resistance were evaluated in a single-arm, open-label clinical trial (atn113) in which 67 hiv-1 uninfected at-risk adolescent men who have sex with men received emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate once daily for hiv-1 prep. the mean age of subjects was 17 years (range 15 to 18 years); 46% were hispanic, 52% black, and 37% white. the safety profile of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in atn113 was similar to that observed in the adult hiv-1 prep trials [see adverse reactions (6.1)] . in the atn113 trial, hiv-1 seroconversion occurred in 3 subjects. tenofovir diphosphate levels in dried blood spot assays indicate that these subjects had poor adherence. no tenofovir- or ftc-associated hiv-1 resistance substitutions were detected in virus isolated from the 3 subjects who seroconverted [see microbiology (12.4)]. adherence to study drug, as demonstrated by tenofovir diphosphate levels in dried blood spot assays, declined markedly after week 12 once subjects switched from monthly to quarterly visits, suggesting that adolescents may benefit from more frequent visits and counseling [see warnings and precautions (5.2)] . safety and effectiveness of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for hiv-1 prep in pediatric patients weighing less than 35 kg have not been established. clinical trials of ftc, tdf or emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. treatment of hiv-1 infection the dosing interval for emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate should be modified in hiv-infected adult individuals with estimated creatinine clearance of 30 to 49 ml/min. emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is not recommended in individuals with estimated creatinine clearance below 30 ml/min and in individuals with end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis [see dosage and administration (2.6)] . hiv-1 prep emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for hiv-1 prep is not recommended in hiv-1 uninfected individuals with estimated creatinine clearance below 60 ml/min. if a decrease in estimated creatinine clearance is observed in uninfected individuals while using emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for hiv-1 prep, evaluate potential causes and reassess potential risks and benefits of continued use [see dosage and administration (2.6)] .
