fresenius kabi usa, llc - neostigmine methylsulfate (unii: 98imh7m386) (neostigmine - unii:3982twq96g) - neostigmine methylsulfate injection, a cholinesterase inhibitor, is indicated for reversal of the effects of nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (nmba) after surgery. neostigmine is contraindicated in patients with: - known hypersensitivity to neostigmine methylsulfate (known hypersensitivity reactions have included urticaria, angioedema, erythema multiforme, generalized rash, facial swelling, peripheral edema, pyrexia, flushing, hypotension, bronchospasm, bradycardia and anaphylaxis). - peritonitis or mechanical obstruction of the urinary or intestinal tracts. risk summary there are no adequate or well-controlled studies of neostigmine methylsulfate injection in pregnant women. it is not known whether neostigmine methylsulfate injection can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproductive capacity. the incidence of malformations in human pregnancies has not been established for neostigmine as the data are limited. all pregnancies, regardless of drug exposure, have a background risk of 2 to 4% for major birth defects, and 15 to 20% for pregnancy loss. no adverse effects were noted in rats or rabbits treated with human equivalent doses of neostigmine methylsulfate doses up to 8.1 and 13 mcg/kg/day, respectively, during organogenesis (0.1 to 0.2-times the maximum recommended human dose of 5 mg/60 kg person/day based on body surface area comparisons). anticholinesterase drugs, including neostigmine may cause uterine irritability and induce premature labor when administered to pregnant women near term. neostigmine methylsulfate injection should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. data animal data it is not known whether neostigmine methylsulfate injection is excreted in human milk. because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions from neostigmine methylsulfate injection in nursing infants, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother. data from published literature support the intravenous use of neostigmine methylsulfate for reversal of nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents in all pediatric age groups. recovery of neuromuscular activity occurs more rapidly with smaller doses of cholinesterase inhibitors in infants and children than in adults. however, infants and small children may be at greater risk of complications from incomplete reversal of neuromuscular blockade due to decreased respiratory reserve. the risks associated with incomplete reversal outweigh any risk from giving higher doses of neostigmine methylsulfate (up to 0.07 mg/kg or up to a total of 5 mg, whichever is lower). the dose of neostigmine methylsulfate required to reverse neuromuscular blockade in children varies between 0.03 mg to 0.07 mg/kg, the same dose range shown to be effective in adults, and should be selected using the same criteria as used for adult patients [see clinical pharmacology (12.3) ]. since the blood pressure in pediatric patients, particularly infants and neonates is sensitive to changes in heart rate, the effects of an anticholinergic agent (e.g., atropine) should be observed prior to administration of neostigmine to lessen the probability of bradycardia and hypotension. elderly patients are likely to have decreased renal function, which may prolong the duration of action of neostigmine methylsulfate. however, elderly patients also experience slower spontaneous recovery from neuromuscular blocking agents. therefore, dosage adjustments are generally not needed in geriatric patients; however, they should be monitored for longer periods than younger adults to assure additional doses of neostigmine methylsulfate injection are not required. the duration of monitoring should be predicated on the anticipated duration of action for the neuromuscular blocking agents used on the patient. elimination half-life of neostigmine was prolonged in anephric patients compared to normal subjects, so neostigmine concentration may increase in patients with impaired renal functions. although no adjustments to neostigmine methylsulfate injection dosing appear to be warranted in patients with impaired renal function, they should be closely monitored for a longer period of time. to assure the effects of the neuromuscular blocking agent, particularly one cleared by the kidneys, do not persist beyond those of neostigmine methylsulfate injection, the interval for re-dosing the neuromuscular blocking agent during the surgical procedure may be useful in determining whether, and to what extent, post-operative monitoring needs to be extended. the pharmacokinetics of neostigmine methylsulfate in patients with hepatic impairment have not been studied. neostigmine is metabolized by microsomal enzymes in the liver so neostigmine concentration may increase in patients with impaired hepatic functions. although no adjustments to the dosing of neostigmine methylsulfate injection appear to be warranted in patients with hepatic insufficiency, patients should be carefully monitored for a longer period of time. if hepatically cleared neuromuscular blocking agents were used during the surgical procedure, their duration of action may also be prolonged by hepatic insufficiency. this could result in the effects of the neuromuscular blocking agent outlasting those of neostigmine methylsulfate injection. in this regard, the interval for re-dosing the neuromuscular blocking agent during the surgical procedure may be useful in determining whether, and to what extent, post-operative monitoring needs to be extended. instructions for use figure 1: outer packaging and prefilled syringe notes: - inspect the outer packaging (blister pack) to confirm the integrity of the packaging. do not use if the blister pack or the prefilled syringe has been damaged. - remove the syringe from the outer packaging.
