mylan pharmaceuticals inc. - paroxetine hydrochloride (unii: x2els050d8) (paroxetine - unii:41vrh5220h) - paroxetine 10 mg - paroxetine tablets are indicated in adults for the treatment of: paroxetine tablets are contraindicated in patients: based on data from published observational studies, exposure to ssris, particularly in the month before delivery, has been associated with a less than 2-fold increase in the risk of postpartum hemorrhage [see warnings and precautions (5.5) and clinical considerations] . epidemiological studies have shown that infants exposed to paroxetine in the first trimester of pregnancy have an increased risk of congenital malformations, particularly cardiovascular malformations. if paroxetine is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking paroxetine, advise the patient of the potential hazard to the fetus. unless the benefits of paroxetine to the mother justify continuing treatment, consideration should be given to either discontinuing paroxetine therapy or switching to another antidepressant [see warnings and precautions (5.7)] . for other studies have found varying results as to whether there was an increased risk of overall, cardiovascular, or specific congenital malformations. a meta-analysis of epidemiological data over a 16-year period (1992 to 2008) on first trimester paroxetine use in pregnancy and congenital malformations included the above-noted studies in addition to others (n = 17 studies that included overall malformations and n = 14 studies that included cardiovascular malformations; n = 20 distinct studies). while subject to limitations, this meta-analysis suggested an increased occurrence of cardiovascular malformations (prevalence odds ratio [por] 1.5; 95% confidence interval 1.2 to 1.9) and overall malformations (por 1.2; 95% confidence interval 1.1 to 1.4) with paroxetine use during the first trimester. it was not possible in this meta-analysis to determine the extent to which the observed prevalence of cardiovascular malformations might have contributed to that of overall malformations, nor was it possible to determine whether any specific types of cardiovascular malformations might have contributed to the observed prevalence of all cardiovascular malformations. unless the benefits of paroxetine to the mother justify continuing treatment, consideration should be given to either discontinuing paroxetine therapy or switching to another antidepressant [see warnings and precautions (5.7)] . for women who intend to become pregnant or are in their first trimester of pregnancy, paroxetine should only be initiated after consideration of the other available treatment options [see warnings and precautions (5.4)] . neonates exposed to ssris or serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (snris), including paroxetine tablets, late in the third trimester have developed complications requiring prolonged hospitalization, respiratory support, and tube feeding. such complications can arise immediately upon delivery. reported clinical findings have included respiratory distress, cyanosis, apnea, seizures, temperature instability, feeding difficulty, vomiting, hypoglycemia, hypotonia, hypertonia, hyperreflexia, tremor, jitteriness, irritability, and constant crying. these features are consistent with either a direct toxic effect of ssris and snris or, possibly, a drug discontinuation syndrome. it should be noted that, in some cases, the clinical picture is consistent with serotonin syndrome [see warnings and precautions (5.2)] . exposure to ssris in late pregnancy may have an increased risk for persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (pphn). pphn occurs in 1 – 2 per 1,000 live births in the general population and is associated with substantial neonatal morbidity and mortality. in a retrospective case-control study of 377 women whose infants were born with pphn and 836 women whose infants were born healthy, the risk for developing pphn was approximately six-fold higher for infants exposed to ssris after the 20th week of gestation compared to infants who had not been exposed to antidepressants during pregnancy. there have also been postmarketing reports of premature births in pregnant women exposed to paroxetine or other ssris. when treating a pregnant woman with paroxetine during the third trimester, the physician should carefully consider both the potential risks and benefits of treatment. a prospective longitudinal study of 201 women with a history of major depression who were euthymic at the beginning of pregnancy. the women who discontinued antidepressant medication during pregnancy were more likely to experience a relapse of major depression than women who continued antidepressant medication. use of paroxetine tablets in the month before delivery may be associated with an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage [see warnings and precautions (5.5)] . reproduction studies were performed at doses up to 50 mg/kg/day in rats and 6 mg/kg/day in rabbits administered during organogenesis. these doses are approximately 6 (rat) and less than 2 (rabbit) times the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd – 75 mg) on an mg/m2 basis. these studies have revealed no evidence of developmental effects. however, in rats, there was an increase in pup deaths during the first 4 days of lactation when dosing occurred during the last trimester of gestation and continued throughout lactation. this effect occurred at a dose of 1 mg/kg/day which is than the mrhd on an mg/m2 basis. the no-effect dose for rat pup mortality was not determined. the cause of these deaths is not known. like many other drugs, paroxetine is secreted in human milk. because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from paroxetine tablets, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing infants or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother. the safety and effectiveness of paroxetine tablets in pediatric patients have not been established [see box warning] . effectiveness was not demonstrated in three placebo-controlled trials in 752 paroxetine tablets-treated pediatric patients with mdd. antidepressants increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in pediatric patients [see boxed warning, warnings and precautions (5.1)] . decreased appetite and weight loss have been observed in association with the use of ssris. in placebo-controlled clinical trials conducted with pediatric patients, the following adverse reactions were reported in at least 2% of pediatric patients treated with paroxetine tablets and occurred at a rate at least twice that for pediatric patients receiving placebo: emotional lability (including self-harm, suicidal thoughts, attempted suicide, crying, and mood fluctuations), hostility, decreased appetite, tremor, sweating, hyperkinesia, and agitation. adverse reactions upon discontinuation of treatment with paroxetine tablets in the pediatric clinical trials that included a taper phase regimen, which occurred in at least 2% of patients and at a rate at least twice that of placebo, were: emotional lability (including suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, mood changes, and tearfulness), nervousness, dizziness, nausea, and abdominal pain. in premarketing clinical trials with paroxetine tablets, 17% of patients treated with paroxetine tablets (approximately 700) were 65 years of age or older. pharmacokinetic studies revealed a decreased clearance in the elderly, and a lower starting dose is recommended;, however, no overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between elderly and younger patients [see dosage and administration (2.4), clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . ssris including paroxetine tablets, have been associated with cases of clinically significant hyponatremia in elderly patients, who may be at greater risk for this adverse reaction [see warnings and precautions (5.7)] . increased plasma concentrations of paroxetine occur in patients with renal and hepatic impairment. the initial dosage of paroxetine tablets should be reduced in patients with severe renal impairment and in patients with severe hepatic impairment [see dosage and administration (2.4), clinical pharmacology (12.3)] .

nucare pharmaceuticals,inc. - paroxetine hydrochloride anhydrous (unii: 3i3t11ud2s) (paroxetine - unii:41vrh5220h) - paroxetine tablets are indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder. the efficacy of paroxetine in the treatment of a major depressive episode was established in 6-week controlled trials of outpatients whose diagnoses corresponded most closely to the dsm-iii category of major depressive disorder (see clinical pharmacology, clinical trials ). a major depressive episode implies a prominent and relatively persistent depressed or dysphoric mood that usually interferes with daily functioning (nearly every day for at least 2 weeks); it should include at least 4 of the following 8 symptoms: change in appetite, change in sleep, psychomotor agitation or retardation, loss of interest in usual activities or decrease in sexual drive, increased fatigue, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, slowed thinking or impaired concentration, and a suicide attempt or suicidal ideation. the effects of paroxetine in hospitalized depressed patients have not been adequately studied. the efficacy of paroxetine in maintaining a response in major depressive disorder for up to 1 year was demonstrated in a placebo-controlled trial (see clinical pharmacology, clinical trials ). nevertheless, the physician who elects to use paroxetine for extended periods should periodically re-evaluate the long-term usefulness of the drug for the individual patient. paroxetine tablets are indicated for the treatment of obsessions and compulsions in patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (ocd) as defined in the dsm-iv. the obsessions or compulsions cause marked distress, are time-consuming, or significantly interfere with social or occupational functioning. the efficacy of paroxetine was established in two 12-week trials with obsessive compulsive outpatients whose diagnoses corresponded most closely to the dsm-iiir category of obsessive compulsive disorder (see clinical pharmacology, clinical trials ). obsessive compulsive disorder is characterized by recurrent and persistent ideas, thoughts, impulses, or images (obsessions) that are ego-dystonic and/or repetitive, purposeful, and intentional behaviors (compulsions) that are recognized by the person as excessive or unreasonable. long-term maintenance of efficacy was demonstrated in a 6-month relapse prevention trial. in this trial, patients assigned to paroxetine showed a lower relapse rate compared to patients on placebo (see clinical pharmacology, clinical trials ). nevertheless, the physician who elects to use paroxetine for extended periods should periodically re-evaluate the long-term usefulness of the drug for the individual patient (see dosage and administration ). paroxetine tablets are indicated for the treatment of panic disorder, with or without agoraphobia, as defined in dsm-iv. panic disorder is characterized by the occurrence of unexpected panic attacks and associated concern about having additional attacks, worry about the implications or consequences of the attacks, and/or a significant change in behavior related to the attacks. the efficacy of paroxetine was established in three 10- to 12-week trials in panic disorder patients whose diagnoses corresponded to the dsm-iiir category of panic disorder (see clinical pharmacology, clinical trials ). panic disorder (dsm-iv) is characterized by recurrent unexpected panic attacks, i.e., a discrete period of intense fear or discomfort in which 4 (or more) of the following symptoms develop abruptly and reach a peak within 10 minutes: (1) palpitations, pounding heart, or accelerated heart rate; (2) sweating; (3) trembling or shaking; (4) sensations of shortness of breath or smothering; (5) feeling of choking; (6) chest pain or discomfort; (7) nausea or abdominal distress; (8) feeling dizzy, unsteady, lightheaded, or faint; (9) derealization (feelings of unreality) or depersonalization (being detached from oneself); (10) fear of losing control; (11) fear of dying; (12) paresthesias (numbness or tingling sensations); (13) chills or hot flushes. long-term maintenance of efficacy was demonstrated in a 3-month relapse prevention trial. in this trial, patients with panic disorder assigned to paroxetine demonstrated a lower relapse rate compared to patients on placebo (see clinical pharmacology, clinical trials ). nevertheless, the physician who prescribes paroxetine for extended periods should periodically re-evaluate the long-term usefulness of the drug for the individual patient (see dosage and administration ). paroxetine tablets are indicated for the treatment of social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, as defined in dsm-iv (300.23). social anxiety disorder is characterized by a marked and persistent fear of 1 or more social or performance situations in which the person is exposed to unfamiliar people or to possible scrutiny by others. exposure to the feared situation almost invariably provokes anxiety, which may approach the intensity of a panic attack. the feared situations are avoided or endured with intense anxiety or distress. the avoidance, anxious anticipation, or distress in the feared situation(s) interferes significantly with the person's normal routine, occupational or academic functioning, or social activities or relationships, or there is marked distress about having the phobias. lesser degrees of performance anxiety or shyness generally do not require psychopharmacological treatment. the efficacy of paroxetine was established in three 12-week trials in adult patients with social anxiety disorder (dsm-iv). paroxetine has not been studied in children or adolescents with social phobia (see clinical pharmacology, clinical trials ). the effectiveness of paroxetine in long-term treatment of social anxiety disorder, i.e., for more than 12 weeks, has not been systematically evaluated in adequate and well-controlled trials. therefore, the physician who elects to prescribe paroxetine for extended periods should periodically re-evaluate the long-term usefulness of the drug for the individual patient (see dosage and administration ). paroxetine tablets are indicated for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (gad), as defined in dsm-iv. anxiety or tension associated with the stress of everyday life usually does not require treatment with an anxiolytic. the efficacy of paroxetine in the treatment of gad was established in two 8-week placebo-controlled trials in adults with gad. paroxetine has not been studied in children or adolescents with generalized anxiety disorder (see clinical pharmacology, clinical trials ). generalized anxiety disorder (dsm-iv) is characterized by excessive anxiety and worry (apprehensive expectation) that is persistent for at least 6 months and which the person finds difficult to control. it must be associated with at least 3 of the following 6 symptoms: restlessness or feeling keyed up or on edge, being easily fatigued, difficulty concentrating or mind going blank, irritability, muscle tension, sleep disturbance. the efficacy of paroxetine in maintaining a response in patients with generalized anxiety disorder, who responded during an 8-week acute treatment phase while taking paroxetine and were then observed for relapse during a period of up to 24 weeks, was demonstrated in a placebo-controlled trial (see clinical pharmacology, clinical trials ). nevertheless, the physician who elects to use paroxetine for extended periods should periodically re-evaluate the long-term usefulness of the drug for the individual patient (see dosage and administration ). the use of maois intended to treat psychiatric disorders with paroxetine tablets or within 14 days of stopping treatment with paroxetine tablets is contraindicated because of an increased risk of serotonin syndrome. the use of paroxetine within 14 days of stopping an maoi intended to treat psychiatric disorders is also contraindicated (see warnings and dosage and administration ). starting paroxetine tablets in a patient who is being treated with maois such as linezolid or intravenous methylene blue is also contraindicated because of an increased risk of serotonin syndrome (see warnings and dosage and administration ). concomitant use with thioridazine is contraindicated (see warnings and precautions ).   concomitant use in patients taking pimozide is contraindicated (see precautions ).   paroxetine tablets are contraindicated in patients with a hypersensitivity to paroxetine or any of the inactive ingredients in paroxetine tablets. paroxetine is not a controlled substance. paroxetine has not been systematically studied in animals or humans for its potential for abuse, tolerance or physical dependence. while the clinical trials did not reveal any tendency for any drug-seeking behavior, these observations were not systematic and it is not possible to predict on the basis of this limited experience the extent to which a cns-active drug will be misused, diverted, and/or abused once marketed. consequently, patients should be evaluated carefully for history of drug abuse, and such patients should be observed closely for signs of misuse or abuse of paroxetine (e.g., development of tolerance, incrementations of dose, drug-seeking behavior).
