mylan institutional inc. - divalproex sodium (unii: 644vl95ao6) (valproic acid - unii:614oi1z5wi) - valproic acid 250 mg - divalproex sodium extended-release tablets are a valproate and are indicated for the treatment of acute manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar disorder, with or without psychotic features. 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. a mixed episode is characterized by the criteria for a manic episode in conjunction with those for a major depressive episode (depressed mood, loss of interest or pleasure in nearly all activities). the efficacy of divalproex sodium extended-release tablets is based in part on studies of divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets in this indication, and was confirmed in a 3-week trial with patients meeting dsm-iv tr criteria for bipolar i disorder, manic or mixed type, who were hospitalized for acute mania [see clinical studies (14.1)] . the effectiveness of valproate 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 extended-release tablets for extended periods should continually reevaluate the long-term risk-benefits of the drug for the individual patient. divalproex sodium extended-release tablets are indicated as monotherapy and adjunctive therapy in the treatment of adult patients and pediatric patients down to the age of 10 years with complex partial seizures that occur either in isolation or in association with other types of seizures. divalproex sodium extended-release tablets are also indicated for use as sole and adjunctive therapy in the treatment of simple and complex absence seizures in adults and children 10 years of age or older, and adjunctively in adults and children 10 years of age or older 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 extended-release tablets are indicated for prophylaxis of migraine headaches. there is no evidence that divalproex sodium extended-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 extended-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 extended-release tablets should not be administered to patients with hepatic disease or significant hepatic dysfunction [see warnings and precautions (5.1)] . - divalproex sodium extended-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 polg-related disorder [see warnings and precautions (5.1)] . - divalproex sodium extended-release tablets are contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the drug [see warnings and precautions (5.12)] . - divalproex sodium extended-release tablets are contraindicated in patients with known urea cycle disorders [see warnings and precautions (5.6)] . - for use in prophylaxis of migraine headaches: divalproex sodium extended-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)]. there is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to antiepileptic drugs (aeds), including divalproex sodium extended-release tablets, during pregnancy. encourage women who are taking divalproex sodium extended-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. 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 warningand 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. 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. 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 warningand 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. 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 9-11% 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)] . 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 studies 1 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. 94–101]) than children with prenatal exposure to the other anti-epileptic drug monotherapy treatments evaluated: lamotrigine (108 [95% c.i. 105–110]), carbamazepine (105 [95% c.i. 102–108]) and phenytoin (108 [95% c.i. 104–112]). 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]: 1.7-4.9) 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%-7.5%) in valproate-exposed children and 1.5% (95% ci: 1.5%-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, 1.09-2.00) 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. there are published case reports of fatal hepatic failure in offspring of women who used valproate during pregnancy. 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/m 2 ] 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. 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. 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)] . 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. 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)] . 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 warningand warnings and precautions (5.1)] . when divalproex sodium extended-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. divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets were studied in seven pediatric clinical trials. two of the pediatric studies were double-blinded placebo-controlled trials to evaluate the efficacy of divalproex sodium extended-release tablets for the indications of mania (150 patients aged 10 to 17 years, 76 of whom were on divalproex sodium extended-release tablets) and migraine (304 patients aged 12 to 17 years, 231 of whom were on divalproex sodium extended-release tablets). 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 extended-release tablets 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 extended-release tablets 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 delayed-release 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 delayed-release tablets in pediatric patients were shown to be comparable to those in adults [see adverse reactions (6)] . 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/m 2 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 (2.5)]. there is insufficient information available to discern the safety and effectiveness of valproate for the prophylaxis of migraines in patients over 65. the capacity of elderly patients (age range: 68 to 89 years) to eliminate valproate has been shown to be reduced compared to younger adults (age range: 22 to 26 years) [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. liver disease impairs the capacity to eliminate valproate [see boxed warning, contraindications (4), warnings and precautions (5.1), and clinical pharmacology (12.3)] .
