accord healthcare, inc. - phenylephrine hydrochloride (unii: 04ja59tnsj) (phenylephrine - unii:1ws297w6mv) - phenylephrine hydrochloride injection, 10 mg/ml, is indicated for the treatment of clinically important hypotension resulting primarily from vasodilation in the setting of anesthesia. none risk summary data from randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses with phenylephrine hydrochloride injection use in pregnant women during cesarean section have not established a drug-associated risk of major birth defects and miscarriage. these studies have not identified an adverse effect on maternal outcomes or infant apgar scores [see data] . there are no data on the use of phenylephrine during the first or second trimester. in animal reproduction and development studies in normotensive animals, evidence of fetal malformations was noted when phenylephrine was administered during organogenesis via a 1-hour infusion at 1.2 times the human daily dose (hdd) of 10 mg/60 kg/day. decreased pup weights were noted in offspring of pregnant rats treated with 2.9 times the hdd [see data] . the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population 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 24% and 15-20%, respectively. clinical considerations disease-associated maternal and/or embryofetal risk untreated hypotension associated with spinal anesthesia for cesarean section is associated with an increase in maternal nausea and vomiting. a sustained decrease in uterine blood flow due to maternal hypotension may result in fetal bradycardia and acidosis. data human data published randomized controlled trials over several decades, which compared the use of phenylephrine injection to other similar agents in pregnant women during cesarean section, have not identified adverse maternal or infant outcomes. at recommended doses, phenylephrine does not appear to affect fetal heart rate or fetal heart rate variability to a significant degree. there are no studies on the safety of phenylephrine injection exposure during the period of organogenesis, and therefore, it is not possible to draw any conclusions on the risk of birth defects following exposure to phenylephrine injection during pregnancy. in addition, there are no data on the risk of miscarriage following fetal exposure to phenylephrine injection. animal data no clear malformations or fetal toxicity were reported when normotensive pregnant rabbits were treated with phenylephrine via continuous intravenous infusion over 1 hour (0.5 mg/kg/day; approximately equivalent to a hdd based on body surface area) from gestation day 7 to 19. at this dose, which demonstrated no maternal toxicity, there was evidence of developmental delay (altered ossification of sternebra). in a non-glp dose range-finding study in normotensive pregnant rabbits, fetal lethality and cranial, paw, and limb malformations were noted following treatment with 1.2 mg/kg/day of phenylephrine via continuous intravenous infusion over 1 hour (2.3-times the hdd). this dose was clearly maternally toxic (increased mortality and significant body weight loss). an increase in the incidence of limb malformation (hyperextension of the forepaw) coincident with high fetal mortality was noted in a single litter at 0.6 mg/kg/day (1.2-times the hdd) in the absence of maternal toxicity. no malformations or embryo-fetal toxicity were reported when normotensive pregnant rats were treated with up to 3 mg/kg/day phenylephrine via continuous intravenous infusion over 1 hour (2.9-times the hdd) from gestation day 6 to 17. this dose was associated with some maternal toxicity (decreased food consumption and body weights). decreased pup weights were reported in a pre-and postnatal development toxicity study in which normotensive pregnant rats were administered phenylephrine via continuous intravenous infusion over 1 hour (0.3, 1.0, or 3.0 mg/kg/day; 0.29, 1, or 2.9 times the hdd) from gestation day 6 through lactation day 21). no adverse effects on growth and development (learning and memory, sexual development, and fertility) were noted in the offspring of pregnant rats at any dose tested. maternal toxicities (mortality late in gestation and during lactation period, decreased food consumption and body weight) occurred at 1 and 3 mg/kg/day of phenylephrine (equivalent to and 2.9 times the hdd, respectively). risk summary there are no data on the presence of phenylephrine hydrochloride injection or its metabolite in 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 phenylephrine hydrochloride and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from phenylephrine hydrochloride or from the underlying maternal condition. safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established. clinical studies of phenylephrine did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. in general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy. in patients with liver cirrhosis [child pugh class b and class c], dose-response data indicate decreased responsiveness to phenylephrine. start dosing in the recommended dose range, but more phenylephrine may be needed in this population. in patients with end stage renal disease (esrd), dose-response data indicate increased responsiveness to phenylephrine. consider starting at the lower end of the recommended dose range, and adjusting dose based on the target blood pressure goal.
