lupin pharmaceuticals, inc. - zolpidem tartrate (unii: wy6w63843k) (zolpidem - unii:7k383oqi23) - zolpidem tartrate 6.25 mg - zolpidem tartrate extended-release tablets are indicated for the short-term treatment of insomnia characterized by difficulties with sleep onset and/or sleep maintenance (as measured by wake time after sleep onset).) the clinical trials performed in support of efficacy were up to 3 weeks (using polysomnography measurement up to 2 weeks in both adult and elderly patients) and 24 weeks (using patient-reported assessment in adult patients only) in duration [see clinical studies (14)]. zolpidem tartrate extended-release tablets are contraindicated in patients - who have experienced complex sleep behaviors after taking zolpidem tartrate extended-release tablets [see warnings and precautions (5.1)]. - with known hypersensitivity to zolpidem. observed reactions include anaphylaxis and angioedema [see warnings and precautions (5.4)]. risk summary neonates born to mothers using zolpidem late in the third trimester of pregnancy have been reported to experience symptoms of respiratory depression and sedation [see clinical considerations and data] . published data on the use of zolpidem during pregnancy have not reported a clear association with zolpidem and major birth defects [see data] . oral administration of zolpidem to pregnant rats and rabbits did not indicate a risk for adverse effects on fetal development at clinically relevant doses [see data] . the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations are 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 miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. clinical considerations fetal/neonatal adverse reactions: zolpidem crosses the placenta and may produce respiratory depression and sedation in neonates. monitor neonates exposed to zolpidem tartrate extended-release tablets during pregnancy and labor for signs of excess sedation, hypotonia, and respiratory depression and manage accordingly. data human data:   published data from observational studies, birth registries, and case reports on the use of zolpidem during pregnancy do not report a clear association with zolpidem and major birth defects. there are limited postmarketing reports of severe to moderate cases of respiratory depression that occurred after birth in neonates whose mothers had taken zolpidem during pregnancy. these cases required artificial ventilation or intratracheal intubation. the majority of neonates recovered within hours to a few weeks after birth once treated. zolpidem has been shown to cross the placenta. animal data:   oral administration of zolpidem to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis at 4, 20, and 100 mg base/kg/day, which are approximately 4, 20, and 100 times the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd) of 12.5 mg/day (10 mg zolpidem base) based on mg/m2 body surface area, caused delayed fetal development (incomplete fetal skeletal ossification) at maternally toxic (ataxia) doses 20 and 100 times the mrhd based on mg/m2 body surface area. oral administration of zolpidem to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis at 1, 4, and 16 mg base/kg/day, which are approximately 2, 8, and 30 times the mrhd of 12.5 mg/day (10 mg zolpidem base) based on mg/m2 body surface area caused embryo-fetal death and delayed fetal development (incomplete fetal skeletal ossification) at a maternally toxic (decreased body weight gain) dose 30 times the mrhd based on mg/m2 body surface area. oral administration of zolpidem to pregnant rats from day 15 of gestation through lactation at 4, 20, and 100 mg base/kg/day, which are approximately 4, 20, and 100 times the mrhd of 12.5 mg/day (10 mg zolpidem base) based on a mg/m2 body surface area, delayed offspring growth and decreased survival at doses 20 and 100 times, respectively, the mrhd based on mg/m2 body surface area. risk summary limited data from published literature report the presence of zolpidem in human milk. there are reports of excess sedation in infants exposed to zolpidem through breastmilk [see clinical considerations] . there is no information on the effects of zolpidem on milk production. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for zolpidem tartrate and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from zolpidem tartrate or from the underlying maternal condition. clinical considerations infants exposed to zolpidem tartrate through breastmilk should be monitored for excess sedation, hypotonia, and respiratory depression. a lactating woman may consider interrupting breastfeeding and pumping and discarding breast milk during treatment and for 23 hours (approximately 5 elimination half-lives) after zolpidem tartrate administration in order to minimize drug exposure to a breast fed infant. zolpidem tartrate extended-release tablets are not recommended for use in children. safety and effectiveness of zolpidem in pediatric patients below the age of 18 years have not been established. in an 8-week study in pediatric patients (aged 6 to 17 years) with insomnia associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (adhd) an oral solution of zolpidem tartrate dosed at 0.25 mg/kg at bedtime did not decrease sleep latency compared to placebo. psychiatric and nervous system disorders comprised the most frequent (> 5%) treatment emergent adverse reactions observed with zolpidem versus placebo and included dizziness (23.5% vs 1.5%), headache (12.5% vs 9.2%), and hallucinations were reported in 7% of the pediatric patients who received zolpidem; none of the pediatric patients who received placebo reported hallucinations [see warnings and precautions (5.5)] . ten patients on zolpidem (7.4%) discontinued treatment due to an adverse reaction. fda has not required pediatric studies of zolpidem tartrate extended-release tablets in the pediatric population based on these efficacy and safety findings. a total of 99 elderly (≥ 65 years of age) received daily doses of 6.25 mg zolpidem tartrate extended-release tablets in a 3-week placebo-controlled study. the adverse reaction profile of zolpidem tartrate extended-release tablets 6.25 mg in this population was similar to that of zolpidem tartrate extended-release tablets 12.5 mg in younger adults (≤64 years of age). dizziness was reported in 8% of zolpidem tartrate extended-release tablets-treated patients compared with 3% of those treated with placebo. the dose of zolpidem tartrate extended-release tablets in elderly patients is 6.25 mg to minimize adverse effects related to impaired motor and/or cognitive performance and unusual sensitivity to sedative/hypnotic drugs [see warnings and precautions (5.2)]. women clear zolpidem tartrate from the body at a lower rate than men. cmax and auc parameters of zolpidem from zolpidem tartrate extended-release tablets were, respectively, approximately 50% and 75% higher at the same dose in adult female subjects compared to adult male subjects. between 6 and 12 hours after dosing, zolpidem concentrations were 2 to 3 fold higher in adult female compared to adult male subjects. given the higher blood levels of zolpidem tartrate in women compared to men at a given dose, the recommended initial dose of zolpidem tartrate extended-release tablets for adult women is 6.25 mg, and the recommended dose for adult men is 6.25 or 12.5 mg. in geriatric patients, clearance of zolpidem is similar in men and women. the recommended dose of zolpidem tartrate extended-release tablets in geriatric patients is 6.25 mg regardless of gender. the recommended dose of zolpidem tartrate extended-release tablets in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment is 6.25 mg once daily immediately before bedtime. avoid zolpidem tartrate extended-release tablets use in patients with severe hepatic impairment as it may contribute to encephalopathy [see dosage and administration (2.2), warnings and precautions (5.8), clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. zolpidem tartrate is classified as a schedule iv controlled substance by federal regulation. abuse and addiction are separate and distinct from physical dependence and tolerance. abuse is characterized by misuse of the drug for non-medical purposes, often in combination with other psychoactive substances. tolerance is a state of adaptation in which exposure to a drug induces changes that result in a diminution of one or more of the drug effects over time. tolerance may occur to both desired and undesired effects of drugs and may develop at different rates for different effects. addiction is a primary, chronic, neurobiological disease with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. it is characterized by behaviors that include one or more of the following: impaired control over drug use, compulsive use, continued use despite harm, and craving. drug addiction is a treatable disease, using a multidisciplinary approach, but relapse is common. studies of abuse potential in former drug abusers found that the effects of single doses of zolpidem tartrate 40 mg were similar, but not identical, to diazepam 20 mg, while zolpidem tartrate 10 mg effects were difficult to distinguish from placebo. because persons with a history of addiction to, or abuse of, drugs or alcohol are at increased risk for misuse, abuse and addiction of zolpidem, they should be monitored carefully when receiving zolpidem or any other hypnotic. use of zolpidem tartrate extended-release tablets may lead to development of physical and/or psychological dependence. this risk of dependence increases with dose and duration of treatment. the risk of abuse and dependence is also greater in patients with history of alcohol or drug abuse. zolpidem tartrate extended-release tablets should be used with extreme caution in patients with current or past alcohol or drug abuse. physical dependence is a state of adaptation that is manifested by a specific withdrawal syndrome that can be produced by abrupt cessation, rapid dose reduction, decreasing blood level of the drug, and/or administration of an antagonist. sedative/hypnotics have produced withdrawal signs and symptoms following abrupt discontinuation. these reported symptoms range from mild dysphoria and insomnia to a withdrawal syndrome that may include abdominal and muscle cramps, vomiting, sweating, tremors, convulsions, and delirium. the following adverse events, which are considered to meet the dsm-iii-r criteria for uncomplicated sedative/hypnotic withdrawal, were reported during zolpidem tartrate extended-release tablets clinical trials following placebo substitution occurring within 48 hours following last zolpidem treatment: fatigue, nausea, flushing, lightheadedness, uncontrolled crying, emesis, stomach cramps, panic attack, nervousness, and abdominal discomfort. these reported adverse events occurred at an incidence of 1% or less. however, available data cannot provide a reliable estimate of the incidence, if any, of dependence during treatment at recommended doses. there have been postmarketing reports of abuse, dependence and withdrawal with zolpidem.

outpatient and sleep laboratory studies, eszopiclone tablets administered at bedtime decreased sleep latency and improved sleep maintenance. the clinical trials performed in support of efficacy were up to 6 months in duration. the final formal assessments of sleep latency and maintenance were performed at 4 weeks in the 6-week study (adults only), at the end of both 2-week studies (elderly only) and at the end of the 6-month study (adults only). - eszopiclone is contraindicated in patients who have experienced complex sleep behaviors after taking eszopiclone [see warnings and precautions (5.1)]. - eszopiclone is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to eszopiclone. hypersensitivity reactions include anaphylaxis and angioedema [see warnings and precautions (5.3)] . risk summary available pharmacovigilance data with eszopiclone use in pregnant women are insufficient to identify a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. in animal reproduction studies conducted in pregnant rats and rabbits throughout organogenesis, there was no evidence of teratogenicity. administration of eszopiclone to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation resulted in offspring toxicities at all doses tested; the lowest dose was approximately 200 times the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd) of 3 mg/day based on mg/m2 body surface area (see data). the estimated 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 miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. data animal data: oral administration of eszopiclone to pregnant rats (62.5, 125, or 250 mg/kg/day) and rabbits (4, 8, or 16 mg/kg/day) throughout organogenesis showed no evidence of teratogenicity up to the highest doses tested. in rats, reduced fetal weight and increased incidences of skeletal variations and/or delayed ossification were observed at the mid and high doses. the no-observed-effect dose for adverse effects on embryofetal development is 200 times the mrhd of 3 mg/day on a mg/m2 basis. no effects on embryofetal development were observed in rabbits; the highest dose tested is approximately 100 times the mrhd on a mg/m2 basis. oral administration of eszopiclone (60, 120, or 180 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats throughout the pregnancy and lactation resulted in increased post-implantation loss, decreased postnatal pup weights and survival, and increased pup startle response at all doses. the lowest dose tested is approximately 200 times the mrhd on a mg/m2 basis. eszopiclone had no effects on other developmental measures or reproductive function in the offspring. risk summary there are no data on the presence of eszopiclone in either human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for eszopiclone and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from eszopiclone or from the underlying maternal condition. safety and effectiveness of eszopiclone have not been established in pediatric patients. eszopiclone failed to demonstrate efficacy in controlled clinical studies of pediatric patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity (adhd) associated insomnia. in a 12-week controlled study, 483 pediatric patients (aged 6 to 17 years) with insomnia associated with adhd (with 65% of the patients using concomitant adhd treatments) were treated with oral tablets of eszopiclone (1, 2 or 3 mg tablets, n=323), or placebo (n=160). eszopiclone did not significantly decrease latency to persistent sleep, compared to placebo, as measured by polysomnography after 12 weeks of treatment. psychiatric and nervous system disorders comprised the most frequent treatment-emergent adverse reactions observed with eszopiclone versus placebo and included dysgeusia (9% vs. 1%), dizziness (6% vs. 2%), hallucinations (2% vs. 0%) and suicidal ideation (0.3% vs. 0%). nine patients on eszopiclone (3%) discontinued treatment due to an adverse reaction compared to 3 patients on placebo (2%). in studies in which eszopiclone (2 to 300 mg/kg/day) was orally administered to young rats from weaning through sexual maturity, neurobehavioral impairment (altered auditory startle response) and reproductive toxicity (adverse effects on male reproductive organ weights and histopathology) were observed at doses ≥ 5 mg/kg/day. delayed sexual maturation was noted in males and females at ≥10 mg/kg/day. the no-effect dose (2 mg/kg) was associated with plasma exposures (auc) for eszopiclone and metabolite (s)-desmethylzopiclone [(s)-dmz] approximately 2 times plasma exposures in humans at the mrhd in adults (3 mg/day). when eszopiclone (doses from 1 to 50 mg/kg/day) was orally administered to young dogs from weaning through sexual maturity, neurotoxicity (convulsions) was observed at doses ≥ 5 mg/kg/day. hepatotoxicity (elevated liver enzymes and hepatocellular vacuolation and degeneration) and reproductive toxicity (adverse effects on male reproductive organ weights and histopathology) were noted at doses ≥10 mg/kg/day. the no-effect dose (1 mg/kg) was associated with plasma exposures (auc) to eszopiclone and (s)-dmz approximately 3 and 2 times, respectively, plasma exposures in humans at the mrhd in adults. a total of 287 subjects in double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled clinical trials who received eszopiclone were 65 to 86 years of age. the overall pattern of adverse events for elderly subjects (median age = 71 years) in 2-week studies with nighttime dosing of 2 mg eszopiclone was not different from that seen in younger adults [see adverse reactions (6)] . eszopiclone 2 mg exhibited significant reduction in sleep latency and improvement in sleep maintenance in the elderly population. compared with nonelderly adults, subjects 65 years and older had longer elimination and higher total exposure to eszopiclone. therefore, dose reduction is recommended in elderly patients [see dosage and administration (2.2), clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . no dose adjustment is necessary for patients with mild-to-moderate hepatic impairment. exposure was increased in severely impaired patients compared with healthy volunteers. the dose of eszopiclone should not exceed 2 mg in patients with severe hepatic impairment. eszopiclone should be used with caution in patients with hepatic impairment [see dosage and administration (2.3), clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . eszopiclone is a schedule iv controlled substance under the controlled substances act. other substances under the same classification are benzodiazepines and the nonbenzodiazepine hypnotics zaleplon and zolpidem. while eszopiclone is a hypnotic agent with a chemical structure unrelated to benzodiazepines, it shares some of the pharmacologic properties of the benzodiazepines. abuse and addiction are separate and distinct from physical dependence and tolerance. abuse is characterized by misuse of the drug for non-medical purposes, often in combination with other psychoactive substances. physical dependence is a state of adaptation that is manifested by a specific withdrawal syndrome that can be produced by abrupt cessation, rapid dose reduction, decreasing blood level of the drug and/or administration of an antagonist. tolerance is a state of adaptation in which exposure to a drug induces changes that result in a diminution of one or more of the drug's effects over time. tolerance may occur to both the desired and undesired effects of drugs and may develop at different rates for different effects. addiction is a primary, chronic, neurobiological disease with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. it is characterized by behaviors that include one or more of the following: impaired control over drug use, compulsive use, continued use despite harm, and craving. drug addiction is a treatable disease, utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, but relapse is common. in a study of abuse liability conducted in individuals with known histories of benzodiazepine abuse, eszopiclone at doses of 6 and 12 mg produced euphoric effects similar to those of diazepam 20 mg. in this study, at doses 2-fold or greater than the maximum recommended doses, a dose-related increase in reports of amnesia and hallucinations was observed for both eszopiclone and diazepam. the clinical trial experience with eszopiclone revealed no evidence of a serious withdrawal syndrome. nevertheless, the following adverse events included in dsm-iv criteria for uncomplicated sedative/hypnotic withdrawal were reported during clinical trials following placebo substitution occurring within 48 hours following the last eszopiclone treatment: anxiety, abnormal dreams, nausea, and upset stomach. these reported adverse events occurred at an incidence of 2% or less. use of benzodiazepines and similar agents may lead to physical and psychological dependence. the risk of abuse and dependence increases with the dose and duration of treatment and concomitant use of other psychoactive drugs. the risk is also greater for patients who have a history of alcohol or drug abuse or history of psychiatric disorders. these patients should be under careful surveillance when receiving eszopiclone or any other hypnotic. some loss of efficacy to the hypnotic effect of benzodiazepines and benzodiazepine-like agents may develop after repeated use of these drugs for a few weeks. no development of tolerance to any parameter of sleep measurement was observed over six months. tolerance to the efficacy of eszopiclone 3 mg was assessed by 4-week objective and 6-week subjective measurements of time to sleep onset and sleep maintenance for eszopiclone in a placebo-controlled 44-day study, and by subjective assessments of time to sleep onset and wake time after sleep onset (waso) in a placebo-controlled study for 6 months.
