CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
Therapeutic indications
CONBRIZA is indicated for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis
in women at increased risk
of fracture. A significant reduction in the incidence of vertebral
fractures has been demonstrated;
efficacy on hip fractures has not been established.
When determining the choice of CONBRIZA or other therapies, including
oestrogens, for an
individual postmenopausal woman, consideration should be given to
menopausal symptoms, effects
on uterine and breast tissues, and cardiovascular risks and benefits
(see section 5.1).
4.2
Posology and method of administration
Posology
The recommended dose of CONBRIZA is one tablet once daily, at any time
of day, with or without
food (see section 5.2).
Doses higher than 20 mg are not recommended because there is no
demonstrable increased efficacy
and higher doses may be associated with additional risk (see section
5.1).
Supplemental calcium and/or vitamin D should be added to the diet if
daily intake is inadequate.
Special populations
Renal impairment
Bazedoxifene has not been sufficiently evaluated in patients with
severe renal impairment; caution
should be used in this population (see sections 4.4 and 5.2).
No dose adjustment is required for mild or moderate renally impaired
patients.
3
Hepatic impairment
Safety and efficacy of bazedoxifene have not been evaluated in
patients with hepatic impairment; use
in this population is not recommended (see sections 4.4 and 5.
