rising pharma holdings, inc. - divalproex sodium (unii: 644vl95ao6) (valproic acid - unii:614oi1z5wi) - valproic acid 125 mg - divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets are a valproate and are indicated for the treatment of the manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder. a manic episode is a distinct period of abnormally and persistently elevated, expansive, or irritable mood. typical symptoms of mania include pressure of speech, motor hyperactivity, reduced need for sleep, flight of ideas, grandiosity, poor judgment, aggressiveness, and possible hostility. the efficacy of divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets was established in 3-week trials with patients meeting dsm-iii-r criteria for bipolar disorder who were hospitalized for acute mania [see clinical studies (14.1)] . the safety and effectiveness of divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets for long-term use in mania, i.e., more than 3 weeks, has not been demonstrated in controlled clinical trials. therefore, healthcare providers who elect to use divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets for extended periods should continually reevaluate the long-term usefulness of the drug for the individual patient. divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets are indicated as monotherapy and adjunctive therapy in the treatment of patients with complex partial seizures that occur either in isolation or in association with other types of seizures. divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets are also indicated for use as sole and adjunctive therapy in the treatment of simple and complex absence seizures, and adjunctively in patients with multiple seizure types that include absence seizures. simple absence is defined as very brief clouding of the sensorium or loss of consciousness accompanied by certain generalized epileptic discharges without other detectable clinical signs. complex absence is the term used when other signs are also present. divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets are indicated for prophylaxis of migraine headaches. there is no evidence that divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets are useful in the acute treatment of migraine headaches. because of the risk to the fetus of decreased iq, neurodevelopmental disorders, neural tube defects, and other major congenital malformations, which may occur very early in pregnancy, valproate should not be used to treat women with epilepsy or bipolar disorder who are pregnant or who plan to become pregnant unless other medications have failed to provide adequate symptom control or are otherwise unacceptable. valproate should not be administered to a woman of childbearing potential unless other medications have failed to provide adequate symptom control or are otherwise unacceptable [see warnings and precautions (5.2, 5.3, 5.4) , use in specific populations (8.1), and patient counseling information (17)] . for prophylaxis of migraine headaches, divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets are contraindicated in women who are pregnant and in women of childbearing potential who are not using effective contraception [see contraindications (4)]. - divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets should not be administered to patients with hepatic disease or significant hepatic dysfunction [see warnings and precautions (5.1) ] . - divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets are  contraindicated in patients known to have mitochondrial disorders caused by mutations in mitochondrial dna polymerase γ (polg; e.g., alpers-huttenlocher syndrome) and children under two years of age who are suspected of having a

migraine headaches: divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets are contraindicated in women who are pregnant and in women of childbearing potential who are not using effective contraception [see warnings and precautions (5.2 , 5.3 ,  5.4)  and use in specific populations (8.1) ] . pregnancy  exposure registry there is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to antiepileptic drugs (aeds), including divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets, during pregnancy. encourage women who are taking divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets during pregnancy to enroll in the north american antiepileptic drug (naaed) pregnancy registry by calling toll-free 1-888-233-2334 or visiting the website, http://www.aedpregnancyregistry.org/. this must be done by the patient herself. risk summary for use in prophylaxis of migraine headaches, valproate is contraindicated in women who are pregnant and in women of childbearing potential who are not using effective contraception [see contraindications (4)] . for use in epilepsy or bipolar disorder, valproate should not be used to treat women who are pregnant or who plan to become pregnant unless other medications have failed to provide adequate symptom control or are otherwise unacceptable [see boxed warning and warnings and precautions (5.2, 5.3)] . women with epilepsy who become pregnant while taking valproate should not discontinue valproate abruptly, as this can precipitate status epilepticus with resulting maternal and fetal hypoxia and threat to life. maternal valproate use during pregnancy for any indication increases the risk of congenital malformations, particularly neural tube defects including spina bifida, but also malformations involving other body systems (e.g., craniofacial defects including oral clefts, cardiovascular malformations, hypospadias, limb malformations). this risk is dose-dependent; however, a threshold dose below which no risk exists cannot be established. in utero exposure to valproate may also result in hearing impairment or hearing loss. valproate polytherapy with other aeds has been associated with an increased frequency of congenital malformations compared with aed monotherapy. the risk of major structural abnormalities is greatest during the first trimester; however, other serious developmental effects can occur with valproate use throughout pregnancy. the rate of congenital malformations among babies born to epileptic mothers who used valproate during pregnancy has been shown to be about four times higher than the rate among babies born to epileptic mothers who used other anti-seizure monotherapies [see warnings and precautions (5.2) and data (human)] . epidemiological studies have indicated that children exposed to valproate in utero have lower iq scores and a higher risk of neurodevelopmental disorders compared to children exposed to either another aed in utero or to no aeds in utero [see warnings and precautions (5.3) and data (human)] . an observational study has suggested that exposure to valproate products during pregnancy increases the risk of autism spectrum disorders [see data (human)] . in animal studies, valproate administration during pregnancy resulted in fetal structural malformations similar to those seen in humans and neurobehavioral deficits in the offspring at clinically relevant doses [see data (animal)] . there have been reports of hypoglycemia in neonates and fatal cases of hepatic failure in infants following maternal use of valproate during pregnancy. pregnant women taking valproate may develop hepatic failure or clotting abnormalities including thrombocytopenia, hypofibrinogenemia, and/or decrease in other coagulation factors, which may result in hemorrhagic complications in the neonate including death [see warnings and precautions (5.1, 5.8)] . available prenatal diagnostic testing to detect neural tube and other defects should be offered to pregnant women using valproate. evidence suggests that folic acid supplementation prior to conception and during the first trimester of pregnancy decreases the risk for congenital neural tube defects in the general population. it is not known whether the risk of neural tube defects or decreased iq in the offspring of women receiving valproate is reduced by folic acid supplementation. dietary folic acid supplementation both prior to conception and during pregnancy should be routinely recommended for patients using valproate [see warnings and precautions (5.2, 5.4)].   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 disease-associated maternal and/or embryo/fetal risk to prevent major seizures, women with epilepsy should not discontinue valproate abruptly, as this can precipitate status epilepticus with resulting maternal and fetal hypoxia and threat to life. even minor seizures may pose some hazard to the developing embryo or fetus [see warnings and precautions (5.4)] . however, discontinuation of the drug may be considered prior to and during pregnancy in individual cases if the seizure disorder severity and frequency do not pose a serious threat to the patient. maternal adverse reactions pregnant women taking valproate may develop clotting abnormalities including thrombocytopenia, hypofibrinogenemia, and/or decrease in other coagulation factors, which may result in hemorrhagic complications in the neonate including death [see warnings and precautions (5.8)] . if valproate is used in pregnancy, the clotting parameters should be monitored carefully in the mother. if abnormal in the mother, then these parameters should also be monitored in the neonate. patients taking valproate may develop hepatic failure [see boxed warning and warnings and precautions (5.1)] . fatal cases of hepatic failure in infants exposed to valproate in utero have also been reported following maternal use of valproate during pregnancy. hypoglycemia has been reported in neonates whose mothers have taken valproate during pregnancy. data human neural tube defects and other structural abnormalities there is an extensive body of evidence demonstrating that exposure to valproate in utero increases the risk of neural tube defects and other structural abnormalities. based on published data from the cdc’s national birth defects prevention network, the risk of spina bifida in the general population is about 0.06 to 0.07% (6 to 7 in 10,000 births) compared to the risk following in utero valproate exposure estimated to be approximately 1 to 2% (100 to 200 in 10,000 births). the naaed pregnancy registry has reported a major malformation rate of 9 to 11% in the offspring of women exposed to an average of 1,000 mg/day of valproate monotherapy during pregnancy. these data show an up to a five-fold increased risk for any major malformation following valproate exposure in utero compared to the risk following exposure in utero to other aeds taken as monotherapy. the major congenital malformations included cases of neural tube defects, cardiovascular malformations, craniofacial defects (e.g., oral clefts, craniosynostosis), hypospadias, limb malformations (e.g., clubfoot, polydactyly), and other malformations of varying severity involving other body systems [see warnings and precautions (5.2)] . effect on iq and neurodevelopmental effects published epidemiological studies have indicated that children exposed to valproate in utero have lower iq scores than children exposed to either another aed in utero or to no aeds in utero . the largest of these studies1 is a prospective cohort study conducted in the united states and united kingdom that found that children with prenatal exposure to valproate (n=62) had lower iq scores at age 6 (97 [95% c.i. 94 to 101]) than children with prenatal exposure to the other anti-epileptic drug monotherapy treatments evaluated: lamotrigine (108 [95% c.i. 105 to 110]), carbamazepine (105 [95% c.i. 102 to 108]) and phenytoin (108 [95% c.i. 104 to 112]). it is not known when during pregnancy cognitive effects in valproate-exposed children occur. because the women in this study were exposed to aeds throughout pregnancy, whether the risk for decreased iq was related to a particular time period during pregnancy could not be assessed [see warnings and precautions (5.3)] . although the available studies have methodological limitations, the weight of the evidence supports a causal association between valproate exposure in utero and subsequent adverse effects on neurodevelopment, including increases in autism spectrum disorders and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (adhd). an observational study has suggested that exposure to valproate products during pregnancy increases the risk of autism spectrum disorders. in this study, children born to mothers who had used valproate products during pregnancy had 2.9 times the risk (95% confidence interval [ci]: 1.7 to 4.9) of developing autism spectrum disorders compared to children born to mothers not exposed to valproate products during pregnancy. the absolute risks for autism spectrum disorders were 4.4% (95% ci: 2.6% to 7.5%) in valproate-exposed children and 1.5% (95% ci: 1.5% to 1.6%) in children not exposed to valproate products. another observational study found that children who were exposed to valproate in utero had an increased risk of adhd (adjusted  hr 1.48; 95% ci, 1.09 to 2.00) compared with the unexposed children. because these studies were observational in nature, conclusions regarding a causal association between in utero valproate exposure and an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder and adhd cannot be considered definitive. other there are published case reports of fatal hepatic failure in offspring of women who used valproate during pregnancy. animal in developmental toxicity studies conducted in mice, rats, rabbits, and monkeys, increased rates of fetal structural abnormalities, intrauterine growth retardation, and embryo-fetal death occurred following administration of valproate to pregnant animals during organogenesis at clinically relevant doses (calculated on a body surface area [mg/m2 ] basis). valproate induced malformations of multiple organ systems, including skeletal, cardiac, and urogenital defects. in mice, in addition to other malformations, fetal neural tube defects have been reported following valproate administration during critical periods of organogenesis, and the teratogenic response correlated with peak maternal drug levels. behavioral abnormalities (including cognitive, locomotor, and social interaction deficits) and brain histopathological changes have also been reported in mice and rat offspring exposed prenatally to clinically relevant doses of valproate. risk summary valproate is excreted in human milk. data in the published literature describe the presence of valproate in human milk (range: 0.4 mcg/ml to 3.9 mcg/ml), corresponding to 1% to 10% of maternal serum levels. valproate serum concentrations collected from breastfed infants aged 3 days postnatal to 12 weeks following delivery ranged from 0.7 mcg/ml to 4 mcg/ml, which were 1% to 6% of maternal serum valproate levels. a published study in children up to six years of age did not report adverse developmental or cognitive effects following exposure to valproate via breast milk [see data (human)] . there are no data to assess the effects of divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets on milk production or excretion. clinical considerations the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets or from the underlying maternal condition. monitor the breastfed infant for signs of liver damage including jaundice and unusual bruising or bleeding. there have been reports of hepatic failure and clotting abnormalities in offspring of women who used valproate during pregnancy [see use in specific populations (8.1)] . data human in a published study, breast milk and maternal blood samples were obtained from 11 epilepsy patients taking valproate at doses ranging from 300 mg/day to 2,400 mg/day on postnatal days 3 to 6. in 4 patients who were taking valproate only, breast milk contained an average valproate concentration of 1.8 mcg/ml (range: 1.1 mcg/ml to 2.2 mcg/ml), which corresponded to 4.8% of the maternal plasma concentration (range: 2.7% to 7.4%). across all patients (7 of whom were taking other aeds concomitantly), similar results were obtained for breast milk concentration (1.8 mcg/ml, range: 0.4 mcg/ml to 3.9 mcg/ml) and maternal plasma ratio (5.1%, range: 1.3% to 9.6%).  a published study of 6 breastfeeding mother-infant pairs measured serum valproate levels during maternal treatment for bipolar disorder (750 mg/day or 1,000 mg/day). none of the mothers received valproate during pregnancy, and infants were aged from 4 weeks to 19 weeks at the time of evaluation. infant serum levels ranged from 0.7 mcg/ml to 1.5 mcg/ml. with maternal serum valproate levels near or within the therapeutic range, infant exposure was 0.9% to 2.3% of maternal levels. similarly, in 2 published case reports with maternal doses of 500 mg/day or 750 mg/day during breastfeeding of infants aged 3 months and 1 month, infant exposure was 1.5% and 6% that of the mother, respectively. a prospective observational multicenter study evaluated the long-term neurodevelopmental effects of aed use on children. pregnant women receiving monotherapy for epilepsy were enrolled with assessments of their children at ages 3 years and 6 years. mothers continued aed therapy during the breastfeeding period. adjusted iqs measured at 3 years for breastfed and non-breastfed children were 93 (n=11) and 90 (n=24), respectively. at 6 years, the scores for breastfed and non-breastfed children were 106 (n=11) and 94 (n=25), respectively (p=0.04). for other cognitive domains evaluated at 6 years, no adverse cognitive effects of continued exposure to an aed (including valproate) via breast milk were observed. contraception women of childbearing potential should use effective contraception while taking valproate [see boxed warning, warnings and precautions (5.4), drug interactions (7), and use in specific populations (8.1)] . this is especially important when valproate use is considered for a condition not usually associated with permanent injury or death such as prophylaxis of migraine headaches [see contraindications (4)] . infertility there have been reports of male infertility coincident with valproate therapy [see adverse reactions (6.4)] . in animal studies, oral administration of valproate at clinically relevant doses resulted in adverse reproductive effects in males [see nonclinical toxicology (13.1)] . experience has indicated that pediatric patients under the age of two years are at a considerably increased risk of developing fatal hepatotoxicity, especially those with the aforementioned conditions [see boxed warning and warnings and precautions (5.1)] . when divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets are used in this patient group, it should be used with extreme caution and as a sole agent. the benefits of therapy should be weighed against the risks. above the age of 2 years, experience in epilepsy has indicated that the incidence of fatal hepatotoxicity decreases considerably in progressively older patient groups. younger children, especially those receiving enzyme-inducing drugs, will require larger maintenance doses to attain targeted total and unbound valproate concentrations. pediatric patients (i.e., between 3 months and 10 years) have 50% higher clearances expressed on weight (i.e., ml/min/kg) than do adults. over the age of 10 years, children have pharmacokinetic parameters that approximate those of adults. the variability in free fraction limits the clinical usefulness of monitoring total serum valproic acid concentrations. interpretation of valproic acid concentrations in children should include consideration of factors that affect hepatic metabolism and protein binding. pediatric clinical trials  divalproex sodium was studied in seven pediatric clinical trials. two of the pediatric studies were double-blinded placebo-controlled trials to evaluate the efficacy of divalproex sodium er for the indications of mania (150 patients aged 10 to 17 years, 76 of whom were on divalproex sodium er) and migraine (304 patients aged 12 to 17 years, 231 of whom were on divalproex sodium er). efficacy was not established for either the treatment of migraine or the treatment of mania. the most common drug-related adverse reactions (reported >5% and twice the rate of placebo) reported in the controlled pediatric mania study were nausea, upper abdominal pain, somnolence, increased ammonia, gastritis and rash. the remaining five trials were long term safety studies. two six-month pediatric studies were conducted to evaluate the long-term safety of divalproex sodium er for the indication of mania (292 patients aged 10 to 17 years). two twelve-month pediatric studies were conducted to evaluate the long-term safety of divalproex sodium er for the indication of migraine (353 patients aged 12 to 17 years). one twelve-month study was conducted to evaluate the safety of divalproex sodium sprinkle capsules in the indication of partial seizures (169 patients aged 3 to 10 years). in these seven clinical trials, the safety and tolerability of divalproex sodium in pediatric patients were shown to be comparable to those in adults [see adverse reactions (6)] . juvenile animal toxicology in studies of valproate in immature animals, toxic effects not observed in adult animals included retinal dysplasia in rats treated during the neonatal period (from postnatal day 4) and nephrotoxicity in rats treated during the neonatal and juvenile (from postnatal day 14) periods. the no-effect dose for these findings was less than the maximum recommended human dose on a mg/m2  basis. no patients above the age of 65 years were enrolled in double-blind prospective clinical trials of mania associated with bipolar illness. in a case review study of 583 patients, 72 patients (12%) were greater than 65 years of age. a higher percentage of patients above 65 years of age reported accidental injury, infection, pain, somnolence, and tremor. discontinuation of valproate was occasionally associated with the latter two events. it is not clear whether these events indicate additional risk or whether they result from preexisting medical illness and concomitant medication use among these patients. a study of elderly patients with dementia revealed drug related somnolence and discontinuation for somnolence [see warnings and precautions (5.14)] . the starting dose should be reduced in these patients, and dosage reductions or discontinuation should be considered in patients with excessive somnolence [see dosage and administration (2.4)] . there is insufficient information available to discern the safety and effectiveness of valproate for the prophylaxis of migraines in patients over 65.

rising pharma holdings, inc. - moxifloxacin hydrochloride (unii: c53598599t) (moxifloxacin - unii:u188xyd42p) - moxifloxacin 400 mg - moxifloxacin tablets are indicated in adult patients for the treatment of community acquired pneumonia caused by susceptible isolates of streptococcus pneumoniae (including multi-drug resistant streptococcus pneumoniae [mdrsp]), haemophilus influenzae, moraxella catarrhalis, methicillin-susceptible staphylococcus aureus, klebsiella pneumoniae, mycoplasma pneumoniae, or chlamydophila pneumoniae [see clinical studies (14.3)] . mdrsp isolates are isolates resistant to two or more of the following antibacterial drugs: penicillin (minimum inhibitory concentrations [mic] ≥ 2 mcg/ml), 2nd generation cephalosporins (for example, cefuroxime), macrolides, tetracyclines, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. moxifloxacin tablets are indicated in adult patients for the treatment of uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections caused by susceptible isolates of methicillin-susceptible staphylococcus aureus or streptococcus pyogenes [see clinical studies (14.4)]. moxifloxacin tablets are indicated in adult patients for the treatment of complicated skin and skin structure infections caused by susceptible isolates of methicillin-susceptible staphylococcus aureus, escherichia coli, klebsiella pneumoniae, or enterobacter cloacae [see clinical studies (14.5)]. moxifloxacin tablets are indicated in adult patients for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections (ciai) including polymicrobial infections such as abscess caused by susceptible isolates of escherichia coli, bacteroides fragilis, streptococcus anginosus, streptococcus constellatus, enterococcus faecalis, proteus mirabilis, clostridium perfringens, bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, or peptostreptococcus species [see clinical studies (14.6)] . moxifloxacin tablets are indicated in adult patients for the treatment of plague, including pneumonic and septicemic plague, due to susceptible isolates of yersinia pestis and prophylaxis of plague in adult patients. efficacy studies of moxifloxacin could not be conducted in humans with plague for feasibility reasons. therefore, this indication is based on an efficacy study conducted in animals only [see clinical studies (14.7)] . moxifloxacin tablets are indicated in adult patients for the treatment of acute bacterial sinusitis (abs) caused by susceptible isolates of streptococcus pneumoniae, haemophilus influenzae , or moraxella catarrhalis [see clinical studies (14.1)] . because fluoroquinolones, including moxifloxacin tablets, have been associated with serious adverse reactions [see  warnings and precautions (5.1 to 5.14)] and for some patients abs is self-limiting, reserve moxifloxacin tablets for treatment of abs in patients who have no alternative treatment options. moxifloxacin tablets are indicated in adult patients for the treatment of acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis (abecb) caused by susceptible isolates of streptococcus pneumoniae, haemophilus influenzae, haemophilus parainfluenzae, klebsiella pneumoniae, methicillin-susceptible staphylococcus aureus, or moraxella catarrhalis [see clinical studies (14.2)]. because fluoroquinolones, including moxifloxacin tablets, have been associated with serious adverse reactions [see warnings and precautions (5.1 to 5.14)] and for some patients abecb is self-limiting, reserve moxifloxacin tablets for treatment of abecb in patients who have no alternative treatment options. to reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of moxifloxacin tablets and other antibacterial drugs, moxifloxacin tablets should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. when culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. in the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy. moxifloxacin tablets are contraindicated in persons with a history of hypersensitivity to moxifloxacin or any member of the quinolone class of antibacterials [see warnings and precautions (5.8)] . risk summary there are no available human data establishing a drug associated risk with the use of moxifloxacin. based on animal studies with moxifloxacin, moxifloxacin hydrochloride may cause fetal harm. moxifloxacin did not cause fetal malformations when administered to pregnant rats (iv and oral), rabbits (iv), and monkeys (oral) at exposures that were 0.24 to 2.5 times of those at the human clinical dose (400 mg/day moxifloxacin hydrochloride). however, when moxifloxacin was administered to rats and rabbits during pregnancy and throughout lactation (rats only) at doses associated with maternal toxicity, decreased neonatal body weights, increased incidence of skeletal variations (rib and vertebra combined), and increased fetal loss were observed (see data). advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. 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 animal reproductive and development studies were done in rats, rabbits and cynomolgus macaques. moxifloxacin did not cause fetal malformations when administered to pregnant rats during organogenesis (gestation days 6 to 17) at oral doses as high as 500 mg/kg/day or 0.24 times the maximum recommended human dose based on systemic exposure (auc), but decreased fetal body weights and slightly delayed fetal skeletal development were observed. intravenous administration of 80 mg/kg/day (approximately 2 times the maximum recommended human dose based on body surface area) to pregnant rats resulted in maternal toxicity and a marginal effect on fetal and placental weights and the appearance of the placenta (gestation days 6 to 17). fetal malformations were not observed at intravenous doses as high as 80 mg/kg/day (approximately 2 times the maximum recommended human dose based on body surface area) in litters of pregnant rats that received moxifloxacin during organogenesis (gestation days 6 to 17). intravenous administration of 20 mg/kg/day (approximately equal to the maximum recommended human oral dose based upon systemic exposure) to pregnant rabbits during organogenesis (gestation days 6 to 20) resulted in decreased fetal body weights and delayed fetal skeletal ossification. when rib and vertebral malformations were combined, there was an increased fetal and litter incidence of these effects in rabbits. signs of maternal toxicity in rabbits at this dose included mortality, abortions, marked reduction of food consumption, decreased water intake, body weight loss and hypoactivity. fetal malformations were not observed when pregnant cynomolgus macaques were given oral doses as high as 100 mg/kg/day (2.5 times the maximum recommended human dose based upon systemic exposure) during organogenesis (gestation days 20 to 50). an increased incidence of smaller fetuses was observed at 100 mg/kg/day in macaques. in a pre- and postnatal development study conducted in rats given oral doses from gestation day 6, throughout gestation and rearing to postpartum day 21, effects observed at 500 mg/kg/day (0.24 times the maximum recommended human dose based on systemic exposure (auc)) included slight increases in duration of pregnancy and prenatal loss, reduced pup birth weight and decreased neonatal survival. treatment-related maternal mortality occurred during gestation at 500 mg/kg/day in this study. risk summary it is not known if moxifloxacin is present in human milk. based on animal studies in rats, moxifloxacin may be excreted in human milk (see data). when a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will be present in human milk. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for moxifloxacin hydrochloride and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from moxifloxacin hydrochloride or from the underlying maternal condition. data in lactating rats given a single oral dose of 4.59 mg/kg moxifloxacin (approximately 9 times less than the recommended human dose based on body surface area) 8 days postpartum, there was very low excretion of substance-related radioactivity into the milk, amounting to approximately 0.03% of the dose. effectiveness in pediatric patients and adolescents less than 18 years of age has not been established. moxifloxacin hydrochloride causes arthropathy in juvenile animals. limited information on the safety of moxifloxacin hydrochloride in 301 pediatric patients is available from the ciai trial [see boxed warning, warnings and precautions (5.11) and nonclinical toxicology (13.2)]. active controlled trial in complicated intra-abdominal infection (ciai) the safety and efficacy of moxifloxacin hydrochloride in pediatric patients for the treatment of ciai has not been demonstrated. pediatric patients 3 months to <18 years of age (mean age of 12 ± 4 years) were enrolled in a single randomized, double-blind, active controlled trial in ciai including appendicitis with perforation, abscesses and peritonitis. pediatric patients were randomized (2:1) to receive either moxifloxacin hydrochloride or comparator. this study enrolled 451 patients who received study medication, 301 treated with moxifloxacin, and 150 with comparator. of the 301 pediatric patients treated with moxifloxacin hydrochloride, 15 were below the age of 6 years and 286 were between the ages of 6 to <18 years. patients received sequential intravenous/oral moxifloxacin hydrochloride or comparator (intravenous ertapenem followed by oral amoxicillin/clavulanate) for 5 to 14 days (mean duration was 9 days with a range of 1 to 24 days). the overall adverse reaction profile in pediatric patients was comparable to that of adult patients. the most frequently occurring adverse reactions in pediatric patients treated with moxifloxacin hydrochloride were qt prolongation 9.3% (28/301), vomiting, 6.6% (20/301), diarrhea 3.7% (11/301), arthralgia 3.0% (9/301), and phlebitis 2.7% (8/301) (see table 5). discontinuation of study drug due to an adverse reaction was reported in 5.3% (16/301) of moxifloxacin hydrochloride-treated patients versus 1.3% (2/150) of comparator-treated patients. the adverse reaction profile of moxifloxacin hydrochloride or comparator was similar across all age groups studied. musculoskeletal adverse reactions were monitored and followed up to 5 years after the end of study treatment. the rates of musculoskeletal adverse reactions were 4.3% (13/301) in the moxifloxacin hydrochloride-treated group versus 3.3% (5/150) in the comparator-treated group. the majority of musculoskeletal adverse reactions were reported between 12 and 53 weeks after start of study treatment with complete resolution at the end of the study [see warnings and precautions (5.11) and nonclinical toxicology (13.2)]. table 5 incidence (%) of selected adverse reactions in ≥2.0% of pediatric patients treated with moxifloxacin hydrochloride in ciai clinical trial clinical response was assessed at the test-of-cure visit (28 to 42 days after end of treatment). the clinical response rates observed in the modified intent to treat population were 83.9% (208/248) for moxifloxacin hydrochloride and 95.5% (127/133) for comparator; see table 6. table 6: clinical response rates at 28 to 42 days after end of treatment in pediatric patients with ciai 1 the modified intent-to-treat (mitt) population is defined as all subjects who were treated with at least one dose of study medication and who have at least one pre-treatment causative organism from the intra-abdominal site of infection or from blood cultures. 2 difference in clinical cure rates (moxifloxacin hydrochloride - comparator) and 95% confidence intervals, presented as percentages, are based on stratified analysis by age group using mantel-haenszel methods. geriatric patients are at increased risk for developing severe tendon disorders including tendon rupture when being treated with a fluoroquinolone such as moxifloxacin hydrochloride. this risk is further increased in patients receiving concomitant corticosteroid therapy. tendinitis or tendon rupture can involve the achilles, hand, shoulder, or other tendon sites and can occur during or after completion of therapy; cases occurring up to several months after fluoroquinolone treatment have been reported. caution should be used when prescribing moxifloxacin hydrochloride to elderly patients especially those on corticosteroids. patients should be informed of this potential side effect and advised to discontinue moxifloxacin tablets and contact their healthcare provider if any symptoms of tendinitis or tendon rupture occur [see boxed warning, and warnings and precautions (5.2)]. epidemiologic studies report an increased rate of aortic aneurysm and dissection within two months following use of fluoroquinolones, particularly in elderly patients [see warnings and precautions (5.9)]. in controlled multiple-dose clinical trials, 23% of patients receiving oral moxifloxacin hydrochloride were greater than or equal to 65 years of age and 9% were greater than or equal to 75 years of age. the clinical trial data demonstrate that there is no difference in the safety and efficacy of oral moxifloxacin hydrochloride in patients aged 65 or older compared to younger adults. in trials of intravenous use, 42% of moxifloxacin hydrochloride patients were greater than or equal to 65 years of age, and 23% were greater than or equal to 75 years of age. the clinical trial data demonstrate that the safety of intravenous moxifloxacin hydrochloride in patients aged 65 or older was similar to that of comparator-treated patients. in general, elderly patients may be more susceptible to drug-associated effects of the qt interval. therefore, moxifloxacin hydrochloride should be avoided in patients taking drugs that can result in prolongation of the qt interval (for example, class ia or class iii antiarrhythmics) or in patients with risk factors for torsade de pointes (for example, known qt prolongation, uncorrected hypokalemia) [see warnings and precautions (5.6), drug interactions (7.5), and clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. the pharmacokinetic parameters of moxifloxacin are not significantly altered in mild, moderate, severe, or end-stage renal disease. no dosage adjustment is necessary in patients with renal impairment, including those patients requiring hemodialysis (hd) or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (capd) [see dosage and administration (2), and clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. no dosage adjustment is recommended for mild, moderate, or severe hepatic insufficiency (child-pugh classes a, b, or c). however, due to metabolic disturbances associated with hepatic insufficiency, which may lead to qt prolongation, moxifloxacin hydrochloride should be used with caution in these patients [see warnings and precautions (5.6) and clinical pharmacology (12.3)] .
