alembic pharmaceuticals inc. - vilazodone hydrochloride (unii: u8htx2gk8j) (vilazodone - unii:s239o2oov3) - vilazodone hydrochloride tablets are indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (mdd) in adults [see clinical studies (14)]. vilazodone hydrochloride tablets are contraindicated in: •  patients taking, or within 14 days of stopping, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (maois), including maois such as linezolid or intravenous methylene blue, because of an increased risk of serotonin syndrome [see warnings and precautions (5.2), drug interactions (7)]. pregnancy exposure registry there is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to antidepressants during pregnancy. healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the national pregnancy registry for antidepressants at 1-844-405-6185 or visiting online at https://womensmentalhealth.org/clinical-and-research-programs/pregnancyregistry/antidepressants/. risk summary 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 (5.3) and clinical considerations] . there are no adequate and well-controlled studies of vilazodone hydrochloride tablets in pregnant women. the background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. however, the background risk in the u.s. general population of major birth defects is 2 to 4% and of miscarriage is 15 to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies. in animal reproduction studies, oral administration of vilazodone during the period of organogenesis at doses up to 48 and 17 times the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd) in rats and rabbits, respectively, resulted in decreased fetal body weight gain and delayed skeletal ossification but no teratogenic effects were observed. decreased fetal body weight and delayed skeletal ossification were not observed at doses up to 10 and 4 times the mrhd in rats and rabbits, respectively [see data] . clinical considerations disease-associated maternal and/or embryo/fetal risk a prospective, longitudinal study followed 201 pregnant women with a history of major depressive disorder who were euthymic and taking antidepressants at the beginning of pregnancy. the women who discontinued antidepressants during pregnancy were more likely to experience a relapse of major depression than women who continued antidepressants. consider the risks of untreated depression when discontinuing or changing treatment with antidepressant medication during pregnancy and postpartum. maternal adverse reactions use of vilazodone hydrochloride tablets in the month before delivery may be associated with an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage [see warnings and precautions (5.3)] . fetal/neonatal adverse reactions exposure to ssris and snris, including vilazodone hydrochloride tablets, in late pregnancy may lead to an increased risk for neonatal complications requiring prolonged hospitalization, respiratory support, and tube feeding, and/or persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (pphn). monitor neonates who were exposed to vilazodone hydrochloride tablets in the third trimester of pregnancy for pphn and drug discontinuation syndrome [see data] . data human data third trimester exposure neonates exposed to ssris or snris late in the third trimester, have developed complications requiring prolonged hospitalization, respiratory support, and tube feeding. these findings are based on post-marketing reports. 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. in some cases, the clinical picture was consistent with serotonin syndrome [see warnings and precautions (5.2)] . exposure during late pregnancy to ssris may have an increased risk for persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (pphn). pphn occurs in 1 to 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. a study of 831,324 infants born in sweden in 1997 to 2005 found a pphn risk ratio of 2.4 (95% ci 1.2 to 4.3) associated with patient-reported maternal use of ssris "in early pregnancy" and a pphn risk ratio of 3.6 (95% ci 1.2 to 8.3) associated with a combination of patient-reported maternal use of ssris "in early pregnancy" and an antenatal ssri prescription "in later pregnancy." animal data no teratogenic effects were observed when vilazodone was given to pregnant rats or rabbits during the period of organogenesis at oral doses up to 200 and 36 mg/kg/day, respectively. these doses are 48 and 17 times, in rats and rabbits, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd) of 40 mg on a mg/m2 basis. fetal body weight gain was reduced, and skeletal ossification was delayed in both rats and rabbits at these doses; these effects were not observed at doses up to 10 times the mrhd in rats or 4 times the mrhd in rabbits. when vilazodone was administered to pregnant rats at an oral dose of 30 times the mrhd during the period of organogenesis and throughout pregnancy and lactation, the number of live born pups was decreased. there was an increase in early postnatal pup mortality, and among surviving pups there was decreased body weight, delayed maturation, and decreased fertility in adulthood. there was some maternal toxicity at this dose. these effects were not seen at 6 times the mrhd. risk summary   there are no data on the presence of vilazodone in human milk, the effects of vilazodone on the breastfed infant, or the effects of the drug on milk production. however, vilazodone is excreted in rat milk [see data] . the developmental and health benefits ofbreastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for vilazodone hydrochloride tablets and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from vilazodone hydrochloride tablets or from the underlying maternal condition. data   animal data   administration of vilazodone to lactating rats at an oral dose of 30 times the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd), resulted in early postnatal pup mortality, and among surviving pups there was decreased body weight and delayed maturation the safety and effectiveness of vilazodone hydrochloride tablets have not been established in pediatric patients for the treatment of mdd. efficacy was not demonstrated in two adequate and well controlled, 8-week studies including a total of 1002 pediatric patients ages 7 years to 17 years of age with mdd. the following adverse reactions were reported in at least 5% of pediatric patients treated with vilazodone hydrochloride tablets and occurred at a rate at least twice that for pediatric patients receiving placebo: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain/discomfort, and dizziness. antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in pediatric patients [see boxed warning, warnings and precautions (5.1), and adverse reactions (6.2)] . juvenile animal toxicity data in a juvenile animal study, male and female rats were treated with vilazodone (10, 50, and 200 mg/kg/day) starting on postnatal day (pnd) 21 through 90. a delay in the age of attainment of vaginal patency (i.e., sexual maturation) was observed in females starting at 50 mg/kg/day with a no observed adverse effect level (noael) of 10 mg/kg/day.  this noael was associated with auc levels similar to those measured at a maximum dose tested in pediatrics (30 mg). adverse behavioral effects (lack of habituation in an acoustic startle test) were observed in males at 200 mg/kg and females starting at 50 mg/kg both during drug treatment and the recovery periods. the noael for this finding was 50 mg/kg for males and 10 mg/kg for females, which was associated with auc levels greater than (males) or similar (females), to those observed with the maximum dose tested in pediatric patients. an 8% decrease in femur mineral density was observed in female rats at 200 mg/kg, compared to the control group. the noael for this finding was 50 mg/kg, which was associated with an auc level greater than those measured at the maximum dose tested in pediatrics. based on a pharmacokinetic study, no dosage adjustment of vilazodone hydrochloride tablets are recommended on the basis of age (see figure 3). results from pharmacokinetic study of a single 20 mg vilazodone hydrochloride tablet dose in geriatric subjects (> 65 years-old) vs. younger subjects (24 to 55 years-old) demonstrated that the pharmacokinetics were generally similar between the two age groups [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. clinical studies of vilazodone hydrochloride tablets did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. of the 3,007 patients in clinical studies with vilazodone hydrochloride tablets, 65 (2.2%) were 65 years of age or older, and 378 (12.6%) were 55 to 64 years of age. in general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be conservative, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy. serotonergic antidepressants 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 (5.8)] . no other differences in adverse reactions were observed between geriatric and younger patients. no dosage adjustment of vilazodone hydrochloride tablets are necessary on the basis of gender, renal function (mild to severe renal impairment, glomerular filtration rate: 15 to 90 ml/minute), or hepatic function (mild to severe hepatic impairment, child-pugh score: 5 to 15 [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . vilazodone hydrochloride tablets are not a controlled substance. vilazodone hydrochloride tablets have  been systematically studied in animals and did not demonstrate abuse or dependence potential. while vilazodone hydrochloride tablets have not been systematically studied in humans for its potential for abuse, there was no suggested evidence of drug-seeking behavior in the clinical studies.

alembic pharmaceuticals inc. - lacosamide (unii: 563ks2pqy5) (lacosamide - unii:563ks2pqy5) - lacosamide tablets are indicated for the treatment of partial-onset seizures in patients 4 years of age and older. additional pediatric use information is approved for ucb, inc.’s vimpat® (lacosamide) tablets. however, due to ucb, inc.’s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information. lacosamide tablets are indicated as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures in patients 4 years of age and older. none. pregnancy exposure registry   there is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to antiepileptic drugs (aeds), such as lacosamide, during pregnancy. encourage women who are taking lacosamide during pregnancy to enroll in the north american antiepileptic drug (naaed) pregnancy registry by calling 1-888-233-2334 or visiting http://www.aedpregnancyregistry.org/. risk summary available data from the north american antiepileptic drug (naaed) pregnancy registry, a prospective cohort study, case reports, and a case series with lacosamide use in pregnant women are insufficient to identify a drug associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. lacosamide produced developmental toxicity (increased embryofetal and perinatal mortality, growth deficit) in rats following administration during pregnancy. developmental neurotoxicity was observed in rats following administration during a period of postnatal development corresponding to the third trimester of human pregnancy. these effects were observed at doses associated with clinically relevant plasma exposures (see data) . the 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 oral administration of lacosamide to pregnant rats (20, 75, or 200 mg/kg/day) and rabbits (6.25, 12.5, or 25 mg/kg/day) during the period of organogenesis did not produce any effects on the incidences of fetal structural abnormalities. however, the maximum doses evaluated were limited by maternal toxicity in both species and embryofetal death in rats. these doses were associated with maternal plasma lacosamide exposures (auc) approximately 2 and 1 times (rat and rabbit, respectively) that in humans at the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd) of 400 mg/day. in two studies in which lacosamide (25, 70, or 200 mg/kg/day and 50, 100, or 200 mg/kg/day) was orally administered to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation, increased perinatal mortality and decreased body weights in the offspring were observed at the highest dose tested. the no-effect dose for pre- and postnatal developmental toxicity in rats (70 mg/kg/day) was associated with a maternal plasma lacosamide auc similar to that in humans at the mrhd. oral administration of lacosamide (30, 90, or 180 mg/kg/day) to rats during the neonatal and juvenile periods of development resulted in decreased brain weights and long-term neurobehavioral changes (altered open field performance, deficits in learning and memory). the early postnatal period in rats is generally thought to correspond to late pregnancy in humans in terms of brain development. the no-effect dose for developmental neurotoxicity in rats was associated with a plasma lacosamide auc less than that in humans at the mrhd. in vitro data lacosamide has been shown in vitro to interfere with the activity of collapsin response mediator protein-2 (crmp-2), a protein involved in neuronal differentiation and control of axonal outgrowth. potential adverse effects on cns development related to this activity cannot be ruled out.  risk summary   data from published literature indicate that lacosamide is present in human milk. there are reports of increased sleepiness in breastfed infants exposed to lacosamide (see clinical considerations). there is no information on the effects of lacosamide on milk production. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for lacosamide and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from lacosamide or from the underlying maternal condition. clinical considerations monitor infants exposed to lacosamide through breastmilk for excess sedation. partial-onset seizures   safety and effectiveness of lacosamide for the treatment of partial-onset seizures have been established in pediatric patients 4 years to less than 17 years of age. use of lacosamide in this age group is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of lacosamide in adults with partial-onset seizures, pharmacokinetic data from adult and pediatric patients, and safety data in 328 pediatric patients 4 years to less than 17 years of age [see adverse reactions (6.1), and clinical pharmacology (12.3), and clinical studies (14.1, 14.2)]. safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below 1 month of age have not been established. primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures safety and effectiveness of lacosamide as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures in pediatric patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy 4 years of age and older was established in a 24-week double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center study (study 5), which included 37 pediatric patients 4 years to less than 17 years of age [see adverse reactions (6.1) and clinical studies (14.3)]. safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 4 years have not been established. animal data lacosamide has been shown in vitro to interfere with the activity of collapsin response mediator protein-2 (crmp-2), a protein involved in neuronal differentiation and control of axonal outgrowth. potential related adverse effects on cns development cannot be ruled out. administration of lacosamide to rats during the neonatal and juvenile periods of postnatal development (approximately equivalent to neonatal through adolescent development in humans) resulted in decreased brain weights and long-term neurobehavioral changes (altered open field performance, deficits in learning and memory). the no-effect dose for developmental neurotoxicity in rats was associated with a plasma lacosamide exposure (auc) less than that in humans at the maximum recommended human dose of 400 mg/day.   additional pediatric use information is approved for ucb, inc.’s vimpat® (lacosamide) tablets. however, due to ucb, inc.’s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information. there were insufficient numbers of elderly patients enrolled in partial-onset seizure trials (n=18) to adequately determine whether they respond differently from younger patients. no lacosamide dose adjustment based on age is necessary. in elderly patients, dose titration should be performed with caution, usually starting at the lower end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic function, decreased renal function, increased cardiac conduction abnormalities, and polypharmacy [see dosage and administration (2.1, 2.4, 2.5) and clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . no dose adjustment is necessary in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (clcr ≥30 ml/min). in patients with severe renal impairment (clcr <30 ml/min as estimated by the cockcroft-gault equation for adults; clcr <30 ml/min/1.73m2 as estimated by the schwartz equation for pediatric patients) and in those with end-stage renal disease, a reduction of 25% of the maximum dosage is recommended [see dosage and administration (2.4) and clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. in all patients with renal impairment, dose initiation and titration should be based on clinical response and tolerability. lacosamide is effectively removed from plasma by hemodialysis. dosage supplementation of up to 50% following hemodialysis should be considered. for adult and pediatric patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment, a reduction of 25% of the maximum dosage is recommended. patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment should be observed closely for adverse reactions, and dose initiation and titration should be based on clinical response and tolerability [see dosage and administration (2.5), clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. the pharmacokinetics of lacosamide has not been evaluated in severe hepatic impairment. lacosamide use is not recommended in patients with severe hepatic impairment. lacosamide is a schedule v controlled substance. abuse is the intentional, non-therapeutic use of a drug, even once, for its desirable psychological or physiological effects. in a human abuse potential study, single doses of 200 mg (equal to the maximum single dosage) and 800 mg lacosamide (equal to twice the recommended daily maintenance dosage) produced euphoria-type subjective responses that differentiated statistically from placebo; at 800 mg, these euphoria-type responses were statistically indistinguishable from those produced by alprazolam, a schedule iv drug. the duration of the euphoria-type responses following lacosamide was less than that following alprazolam. a high rate of euphoria was also reported as an adverse event in the human abuse potential study following single doses of 800 mg lacosamide (15% [5/34]) compared to placebo (0%) and in two pharmacokinetic studies following single and multiple doses of 300 to 800 mg lacosamide (ranging from 6% [2/33] to 25% [3/12]) compared to placebo (0%). however, the rate of euphoria reported as an adverse event in the lacosamide development program at therapeutic doses was less than 1%. physical dependence is a state that develops as a result of physiological adaptation in response to repeated drug use, manifested by withdrawal signs and symptoms after abrupt discontinuation or a significant dose reduction of a drug. abrupt termination of lacosamide in clinical trials with diabetic neuropathic pain patients produced no signs or symptoms that are associated with a withdrawal syndrome indicative of physical dependence. however, psychological dependence cannot be excluded due to the ability of lacosamide to produce euphoria-type adverse events in humans.

alembic pharmaceuticals inc. - diclofenac sodium (unii: qtg126297q) (diclofenac - unii:144o8ql0l1) - diclofenac sodium topical solution is indicated for the treatment of the pain of osteoarthritis of the knee(s). diclofenac sodium topical solution is contraindicated in the following patients: - known hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylactic reactions and serious skin reactions) to diclofenac or any components of the drug product [see warnings and precautions (5.7,5.9) ] - history of asthma, urticaria, or other allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other nsaids. severe, sometimes fatal, anaphylactic reactions to nsaids have been reported in such patients [see warnings and precautions (5.7,5.8) ] - in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) surgery [see warnings and precautions (5.1) ] risk summary use of nsaids, including diclofenac sodium topical solution, can cause premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus and fetal renal dysfunction leading to oligohydramnios and, in some cases, neonatal renal impairment. because of these risks, limit dose and duration of diclofenac sodium topical solution use between about 20 and 30 weeks of gestation, and avoid diclofenac sodium topical solution use at about 30 weeks of gestation and later in pregnancy (see clinical considerations, data) . premature closure of fetal ductus arteriosus use of nsaids, including diclofenac sodium topical solution, at about 30 weeks gestation or later in pregnancy increases the risk of premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus. oligohydramnios/neonatal renal impairment use of nsaids at about 20 weeks gestation or later in pregnancy has been associated with cases of fetal renal dysfunction leading to oligohydramnios, and in some cases, neonatal renal impairment. data from observational studies regarding other potential embryofetal risks of nsaid use in women in the first or second trimesters of pregnancy are inconclusive. in animal reproduction studies, no evidence of malformations were observed in mice, rats, or rabbits given diclofenac during the period of organogenesis at doses up to approximately 0.6, 0.6, and 1.3 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd) of 162 mg diclofenac sodium via diclofenac sodium topical solution, despite the presence of maternal and fetal toxicity at these doses [see data] . based on animal data, prostaglandins have been shown to have an important role in endometrial vascular permeability, blastocyst implantation, and decidualization. in animal studies, administration of prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors such as diclofenac, resulted in increased pre- and post-implantation loss. prostaglandins also have been shown to have an important role in fetal kidney development. in published animal studies, prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors have been reported to impair kidney development when administered at clinically relevant doses. the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population(s) 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. clinical considerations fetal/neonatal adverse reactions premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus: avoid use of nsaids in women at about 30 weeks gestation and later in pregnancy, because nsaids, including diclofenac sodium topical solution, can cause premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus (see data) . oligohydramnios/neonatal renal impairment: if an nsaid is necessary at about 20 weeks gestation or later in pregnancy, limit the use to the lowest effective dose and shortest duration possible. if diclofenac sodium topical solution treatment extends beyond 48 hours, consider monitoring with ultrasound for oligohydramnios. if oligohydramnios occurs, discontinue diclofenac sodium topical solution and follow up according to clinical practice (see data) . labor or delivery there are no studies on the effects of diclofenac sodium topical solution during labor or delivery. in animal studies, nsaids, including diclofenac inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, cause delayed parturition, and increase the incidence of stillbirth. data human data premature closure of fetal ductus arteriosus: published literature reports that the use of nsaids at about 30 weeks of gestation and later in pregnancy may cause premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus.   oligohydramnios/neonatal renal impairment: published studies and postmarketing reports describe maternal nsaid use at about 20 weeks gestation or later in pregnancy associated with fetal renal dysfunction leading to oligohydramnios, and in some cases, neonatal renal impairment. these adverse outcomes are seen, on average, after days to weeks of treatment, although oligohydramnios has been infrequently reported as soon as 48 hours after nsaid initiation. in many cases, but not all, the decrease in amniotic fluid was transient and reversible with cessation of the drug. there have been a limited number of case reports of maternal nsaid use and neonatal renal dysfunction without oligohydramnios, some of which were irreversible. some cases of neonatal renal dysfunction required treatment with invasive procedures, such as exchange transfusion or dialysis. methodological limitations of these postmarketing studies and reports include lack of a control group; limited information regarding dose, duration, and timing of drug exposure; and concomitant use of other medications. these limitations preclude establishing a reliable estimate of the risk of adverse fetal and neonatal outcomes with maternal nsaid use. because the published safety data on neonatal outcomes involved mostly preterm infants, the generalizability of certain reported risks to the full-term infant exposed to nsaids through maternal use is uncertain. animal data reproductive and developmental studies in animals demonstrated that diclofenac sodium administration during organogenesis did not produce malformations despite the induction of maternal toxicity and fetal toxicity in mice at oral doses up to 20 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.6 times the maximum recommended human dose [mrhd] of diclofenac sodium topical solution, 162 mg diclofenac sodium/day, based on body surface area (bsa) comparison), and in rats and rabbits at oral doses up to 10 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.6 and 1.3-times, respectively, the mrhd based on bsa comparison). published reproductive and developmental studies of dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso, the solvent used in diclofenac sodium topical solution) are equivocal as to potential teratogenicity. in a study in which pregnant rats were orally administered 2 or 4 mg/kg diclofenac (0.12 and 0.24 times the mrhd, respectively, based on bsa comparison) from gestation day 15 through lactation day 21, significant maternal toxicity (peritonitis, mortality) was noted. these maternally toxic doses were associated with dystocia, prolonged gestation, reduced fetal weights and growth, and reduced fetal survival. diclofenac has been shown to cross the placental barrier in mice and rats. in published studies, diclofenac administration to pregnant rats prolonged gestation and produced liver toxicity and neuronal loss in offspring (1 mg/kg, ip; 0.06 times the mrhd based on bsa comparison), impaired nephrogenesis in the kidney (3.6 mg/kg, ip; 0.2 times the mrhd based on bsa comparison), and caused adverse effects on the developing testes (6.1 mg/kg, oral; 0.4 times the mrhd based on bsa comparison). risk summary based on available data, diclofenac may be present in human milk. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for diclofenac sodium topical solution and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from the diclofenac sodium topical solution or from the underlying maternal condition. data one woman treated orally with a diclofenac salt, 150 mg/day, had a milk diclofenac level of 100 mcg/l, equivalent to an infant dose of about 0.03 mg/kg/day. diclofenac was not detectable in breast milk in 12 women using diclofenac (after either 100 mg/day orally for 7 days or a single 50 mg intramuscular dose administered in the immediate postpartum period). infertility females based on the mechanism of action, the use of prostaglandin-mediated nsaids, including diclofenac sodium topical solution, may delay or prevent rupture of ovarian follicles, which has been associated with reversible infertility in some women. published animal studies have shown that administration of prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors has the potential to disrupt prostaglandin-mediated follicular rupture required for ovulation. small studies in women treated with nsaids have also shown a reversible delay in ovulation. consider withdrawal of nsaids, including diclofenac sodium topical solution, in women who have difficulties conceiving or who are undergoing investigation of infertility. males published studies in adult male rodents report that diclofenac, at clinically relevant doses, can produce adverse effects on male reproductive tissues. the impact of these findings on male fertility is not clear [see nonclinical toxicology (13.1)] . safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established. elderly patients, compared to younger patients, are at greater risk for nsaid-associated serious cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and/or renal adverse reactions. if the anticipated benefit for the elderly patient outweighs these potential risks, start dosing at the low end of the dosing range, and monitor patients for adverse effects [see  warnings and precautions (5.1,  5.2,  5.3,  5.6,5.14) ]. of the 911 patients treated with diclofenac sodium topical solution 1.5% in seven controlled, phase 3 clinical trials, 444 subjects were 65 years of age and over. there was no age-related difference in the incidence of adverse events. of the 793 patients treated with diclofenac sodium topical solution 1.5% in one open-labeled safety trial, 334 subjects were 65 years of age and over including 107 subjects 75 and over. there was no difference in the incidence of adverse events with long-term exposure to diclofenac sodium topical solution 1.5% for this elderly population.

alembic pharmaceuticals inc. - pregabalin (unii: 55jg375s6m) (pregabalin - unii:55jg375s6m) - pregabalin capsule is indicated for: • management of neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy • management of postherpetic neuralgia • adjunctive therapy for the treatment of partial-onset seizures in patients 1 month of age and older • management of fibromyalgia • management of neuropathic pain associated with spinal cord injury  pregabalin is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to pregabalin or any of its components. angioedema and hypersensitivity reactions have occurred in patients receiving pregabalin therapy [see warnings and precautions (5.2)]. pregnancy exposure registry there is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to pregabalin during pregnancy. to provide information regarding the effects of in utero exposure to pregabalin, physicians are advised to recommend that pregnant patients taking pregabalin enroll in the north american antiepileptic drug (naaed) pregnancy registry. this can be done by calling the toll free number 1-888-233-2334, and must be done by patients themselves. information on the registry can also be found at the website http://www.aedpregnancyregistry.org/ . risk summary observational studies on the use of pregabalin during pregnancy suggest a possible small increase in the rate of overall major birth defects, but there was no consistent or specific pattern of major birth defects identified (see data). available postmarketing data on miscarriage and other maternal, fetal, and long term developmental adverse effects were insufficient to identify risk associated with pregabalin. in animal reproduction studies, increased incidences of fetal structural abnormalities and other manifestations of developmental toxicity, including skeletal malformations, retarded ossification, and decreased fetal body weight were observed in the offspring of rats and rabbits given pregabalin orally during organogenesis, at doses that produced plasma pregabalin exposures (auc) greater than or equal to 16 times human exposure at the maximum recommended dose (mrd) of 600 mg/day (see data) . in an animal development study, lethality, growth retardation, and nervous and reproductive system functional impairment were observed in the offspring of rats given pregabalin during gestation and lactation. the no-effect dose for developmental toxicity was approximately twice the human exposure at mrd. the background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations are unknown. however, the background risk in the u.s. general population of major birth defects is 2 to 4% and of miscarriage is 15 to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies. advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. data human data one database study, which included over 2,700 pregnancies exposed to pregabalin (monotherapy) during the first trimester compared to 3,063,251 pregnancies unexposed to antiepileptics demonstrated prevalence ratios for major malformations overall of 1.14 (ci 95% 0.96 to 1.35) for pregabalin, 1.29 (ci 95% 1.01 to 1.65) for lamotrigine, 1.39 (ci 95% 1.07 to 1.82) for duloxetine, and 1.24 (ci 95% 1 to 1.54) for exposure to either lamotrigine or duloxetine. important study limitations include uncertainty of whether women who filled a prescription took the medication and inability to adequately control for the underlying disease and other potential confounders. a published study included results from two separate databases. one database, which included 353 pregnancies exposed to pregabalin (monotherapy) during the first trimester compared to 368,489 pregnancies unexposed to antiepileptics, showed no increase in risk of major birth defects; adjusted relative risk 0.87 (ci 95% 0.53 to 1.42). the second database, which included 118 pregnancies exposed to pregabalin (monotherapy) during the first trimester compared to 380,347 pregnancies unexposed to antiepileptics, suggested a small increase in risk of major birth defects; adjusted relative risk 1.26 (ci 95% 0.64 to 2.49). the risk estimates crossed the null, and the study had limitations similar to the prior study. other published epidemiologic studies reported inconsistent findings. no specific pattern of birth defects was identified across studies. all of the studies had limitations due to their retrospective design. animal data when pregnant rats were given pregabalin (500, 1250, or 2500 mg/kg) orally throughout the period of organogenesis, incidences of specific skull alterations attributed to abnormally advanced ossification (premature fusion of the jugal and nasal sutures) were increased at greater than or equal to 1250 mg/kg, and incidences of skeletal variations and retarded ossification were increased at all doses. fetal body weights were decreased at the highest dose. the low dose in this study was associated with a plasma exposure (auc) approximately 17 times human exposure at the mrd of 600 mg/day. a no-effect dose for rat embryo-fetal developmental toxicity was not established. when pregnant rabbits were given pregabalin (250, 500, or 1250 mg/kg) orally throughout the period of organogenesis, decreased fetal body weight and increased incidences of skeletal malformations, visceral variations, and retarded ossification were observed at the highest dose. the no-effect dose for developmental toxicity in rabbits (500 mg/kg) was associated with a plasma exposure approximately 16 times human exposure at the mrd. in a study in which female rats were dosed with pregabalin (50, 100, 250, 1250, or 2500 mg/kg) throughout gestation and lactation, offspring growth was reduced at greater than or equal to 100 mg/kg and offspring survival was decreased at greater than or equal to 250 mg/kg. the effect on offspring survival was pronounced at doses greater than or equal to 1250 mg/kg, with 100% mortality in high-dose litters. when offspring were tested as adults, neurobehavioral abnormalities (decreased auditory startle responding) were observed at greater than or equal to 250 mg/kg and reproductive impairment (decreased fertility and litter size) was seen at 1250 mg/kg. the no-effect dose for pre- and postnatal developmental toxicity in rats (50 mg/kg) produced a plasma exposure approximately 2 times human exposure at the mrd. in the prenatal-postnatal study in rats, pregabalin prolonged gestation and induced dystocia at exposures greater than or equal to 50 times the mean human exposure (auc (0-24) of 123 µg∙hr/ml) at the mrd. risk summary small amounts of pregabalin have been detected in the milk of lactating women. a pharmacokinetic study in lactating women detected pregabalin in breast milk at average steady state concentrations approximately 76% of those in maternal plasma. the estimated average daily infant dose of pregabalin from breast milk (assuming mean milk consumption of 150 ml/kg/day) was 0.31 mg/kg/day, which on a mg/kg basis would be approximately 7% of the maternal dose (see data) . the study did not evaluate the effects of pregabalin on milk production or the effects of pregabalin on the breastfed infant. based on animal studies, there is a potential risk of tumorigenicity with pregabalin exposure via breast milk to the breastfed infant [see nonclinical toxicology (13.1)] . available clinical study data in patients greater than 12 years of age do not provide a clear conclusion about the potential risk of tumorigenicity with pregabalin [see warnings and precautions (5.9)] . because of the potential risk of tumorigenicity, breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with pregabalin. data a pharmacokinetic study in ten lactating women, who were at least 12 weeks postpartum, evaluated the concentrations of pregabalin in plasma and breast milk. pregabalin 150 mg oral capsule was given every 12 hours (300 mg daily dose) for a total of four doses. pregabalin was detected in breast milk at average steady-state concentrations approximately 76% of those in maternal plasma. the estimated average daily infant dose of pregabalin from breast milk (assuming mean milk consumption of 150 ml/kg/day) was 0.31 mg/kg/day, which on a mg/kg basis would be approximately 7% of the maternal dose. the study did not evaluate the effects of pregabalin on milk production. infants did not receive breast milk obtained during the dosing period, therefore, the effects of pregabalin on the breast fed infant were not evaluated. infertility males effects on spermatogenesis in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled non-inferiority study to assess the effect of pregabalin on sperm characteristics, healthy male subjects received pregabalin at a daily dose up to 600 mg (n=111) or placebo (n=109) for 13 weeks (one complete sperm cycle) followed by a 13-week washout period (off-drug). a total of 65 subjects in the pregabalin group (59%) and 62 subjects in the placebo group (57%) were included in the per protocol (pp) population. these subjects took study drug for at least 8 weeks, had appropriate timing of semen collections and did not have any significant protocol violations. among these subjects, approximately 9% of the pregabalin group (6/65) vs. 3% in the placebo group (2/62) had greater than or equal to 50% reduction in mean sperm concentrations from baseline at week 26 (the primary endpoint). the difference between pregabalin and placebo was within the pre-specified non-inferiority margin of 20%. there were no adverse effects of pregabalin on sperm morphology, sperm motility, serum fsh or serum testosterone levels as compared to placebo. in subjects in the pp population with greater than or equal to 50% reduction in sperm concentration from baseline, sperm concentrations were no longer reduced by greater than or equal to 50% in any affected subject after an additional 3 months off-drug. in one subject, however, subsequent semen analyses demonstrated reductions from baseline of greater than or equal to 50% at 9 and 12 months off-drug. the clinical relevance of these data is unknown. in the animal fertility study with pregabalin in male rats, adverse reproductive and developmental effects were observed [see nonclinical toxicology (13.1)]. neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, and neuropathic pain associated with spinal cord injury safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established. fibromyalgia safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established. a 15-week, placebo-controlled trial was conducted with 107 pediatric patients with fibromyalgia, ages 12 through 17 years, at pregabalin total daily doses of 75 to 450 mg per day. the primary efficacy endpoint of change from baseline to week 15 in mean pain intensity (derived from an 11-point numeric rating scale) showed numerically greater improvement for the pregabalin-treated patients compared to placebo-treated patients, but did not reach statistical significance. the most frequently observed adverse reactions in the clinical trial included dizziness, nausea, headache, weight increased, and fatigue. the overall safety profile in adolescents was similar to that observed in adults with fibromyalgia. adjunctive therapy for partial-onset seizures safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 1 month have not been established. 4 to less than 17 years of age with partial-onset seizures the safety and effectiveness of pregabalin as adjunctive treatment for partial-onset seizures in pediatric patients 4 to less than 17 years of age have been established in a 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (n=295) [see clinical studies (14.3)]. patients treated with pregabalin 10 mg/kg/day had, on average, a 21.0% greater reduction in partial-onset seizures than patients treated with placebo (p=0.0185). patients treated with pregabalin 2.5 mg/kg/day had, on average, a 10.5% greater reduction in partial-onset seizures than patients treated with placebo, but the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.2577). responder rates (50% or greater reduction in partial-onset seizure frequency) were a key secondary efficacy parameter and showed numerical improvement with pregabalin compared with placebo: the responder rates were 40.6%, 29.1%, and 22.6%, for pregabalin 10 mg/kg/day, pregabalin 2.5 mg/kg/day, and placebo, respectively. the most common adverse reactions (≥5%) with pregabalin in this study were somnolence, weight increased, and increased appetite [see adverse reactions (6.1)]. the use of pregabalin 2.5 mg/kg/day in pediatric patients is further supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults with partial-onset seizures and pharmacokinetic data from adult and pediatric patients [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . 1 month to less than 4 years of age with partial-onset seizures the safety and effectiveness of pregabalin as adjunctive treatment for partial-onset seizures in pediatric patients 1 month to less than 4 years of age have been established in a 14-day double-blind, placebo-controlled study (n=175) [see clinical studies (14.3)] . the youngest subject evaluated was 3 months of age; use in patients 1 month to less than 3 months of age is supported by additional pharmacokinetic analyses. patients treated with pregabalin 14 mg/kg/day had, on average, 43.9% greater reduction in partial-onset seizures than patients treated with placebo (p=0.0223). in addition, pediatric patients treated with pregabalin 14 mg/kg/day showed numerical improvement in responder rates (≥50% reduction in partial-onset seizure frequency) compared with placebo (53.6% versus 41.5%). patients treated with pregabalin 7 mg/kg/day did not show improvement relative to placebo for either endpoint. the most common dose-related adverse reactions (≥5%) with pregabalin in this study were somnolence, pneumonia, and viral infection [see adverse reactions (6.1)] . juvenile animal data in studies in which pregabalin (50 to 500 mg/kg) was orally administered to young rats from early in the postnatal period (postnatal day 7) through sexual maturity, neurobehavioral abnormalities (deficits in learning and memory, altered locomotor activity, decreased auditory startle responding and habituation) and reproductive impairment (delayed sexual maturation and decreased fertility in males and females) were observed at doses greater than or equal to 50 mg/kg. the neurobehavioral changes of acoustic startle persisted at greater than or equal to 250 mg/kg and locomotor activity and water maze performance at greater than or equal to 500 mg/kg in animals tested after cessation of dosing and, thus, were considered to represent long-term effects. the low effect dose for developmental neurotoxicity and reproductive impairment in juvenile rats (50 mg/kg) was associated with a plasma pregabalin exposure (auc) approximately equal to human exposure at the maximum recommended dose of 600 mg/day. a no-effect dose was not established. in controlled clinical studies of pregabalin in neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, 246 patients were 65 to 74 years of age, and 73 patients were 75 years of age or older. in controlled clinical studies of pregabalin in neuropathic pain associated with postherpetic neuralgia, 282 patients were 65 to 74 years of age, and 379 patients were 75 years of age or older. in controlled clinical studies of pregabalin in epilepsy, there were only 10 patients 65 to 74 years of age, and 2 patients who were 75 years of age or older. no overall differences in safety and efficacy were observed between these patients and younger patients. in controlled clinical studies of pregabalin in fibromyalgia, 106 patients were 65 years of age or older. although the adverse reaction profile was similar between the two age groups, the following neurological adverse reactions were more frequent in patients 65 years of age or older: dizziness, vision blurred, balance disorder, tremor, confusional state, coordination abnormal, and lethargy. pregabalin is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to pregabalin may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. because pregabalin is eliminated primarily by renal excretion, adjust the dose for elderly patients with renal impairment [see dosage and administration (2.7)] . pregabalin is eliminated primarily by renal excretion and dose adjustment is recommended for adult patients with renal impairment [see dosage and administration (2.7) and clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. the use of pregabalin in pediatric patients with compromised renal function has not been studied. pregabalin is a schedule v controlled substance. pregabalin is not known to be active at receptor sites associated with drugs of abuse. as with any cns active drug, carefully evaluate patients for history of drug abuse and observe them for signs of pregabalin misuse or abuse (e.g., development of tolerance, dose escalation, drug-seeking behavior). in a study of recreational users (n=15) of sedative/hypnotic drugs, including alcohol, pregabalin (450 mg, single dose) received subjective ratings of “good drug effect,” “high” and “liking” to a degree that was similar to diazepam (30 mg, single dose). in controlled clinical studies in over 5500 patients, 4 % of pregabalin-treated patients and 1 % of placebo-treated patients overall reported euphoria as an adverse reaction, though in some patient populations studied, this reporting rate was higher and ranged from 1 to 12%. in clinical studies, following abrupt or rapid discontinuation of pregabalin, some patients reported symptoms including insomnia, nausea, headache or diarrhea [see warnings and precautions (5.6)] , consistent with physical dependence. in the postmarketing experience, in addition to these reported symptoms there have also been reported cases of anxiety and hyperhidrosis.

alembic pharmaceuticals inc. - testosterone (unii: 3xmk78s47o) (testosterone - unii:3xmk78s47o) - testosterone gel, 1.62% is indicated for replacement therapy in adult males for conditions associated with a deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone: - primary hypogonadism (congenital or acquired): testicular failure due to conditions such as cryptorchidism, bilateral torsion, orchitis, vanishing testis syndrome, orchiectomy, klinefelter's syndrome, chemotherapy, or toxic damage from alcohol or heavy metals. these men usually have low serum testosterone concentrations and gonadotropins (follicle-stimulating hormone [fsh], luteinizing hormone [lh]) above the normal range. - hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (congenital or acquired): gonadotropin or luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (lhrh) deficiency or pituitary-hypothalamic injury from tumors, trauma, or radiation. these men have low testosterone serum concentrations, but have gonadotropins in the normal or low range. limitations of use: - safety and efficacy of testosterone gel, 1.62% in men with "age-related hypogonadism" (also referred to as "late-onset hypogonadism") have not been established. - safety and efficacy of testosterone gel, 1.62% in males less than 18 years old have not been established [see use in specific populations (8.4)]. - topical testosterone products may have different doses, strengths, or application instructions that may result in different systemic exposure [see indications and usage (1), and clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. - testosterone gel, 1.62% is contraindicated in men with carcinoma of the breast or known or suspected carcinoma of the prostate [see warnings and precautions ( 5.1) and adverse reactions (6.1)]. - testosterone gel, 1.62% is contraindicated in women who are pregnant. testosterone gel, 1.62% can cause virilization of the female fetus when administered to a pregnant woman. pregnant women need to be aware of the potential for transfer of testosterone from men treated with testosterone gel, 1.62%. if a pregnant woman is exposed to testosterone gel, 1.62%, she should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus [see warnings and precautions (5.2) and use in specific populations (8.1)]. risk summary testosterone gel, 1.62% is contraindicated in pregnant women. testosterone is teratogenic and may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman based on data from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see contraindications (4) and clinical pharmacology (12.1)]. exposure of a female fetus to androgens may result in varying degrees of virilization. in animal developmental studies, exposure to testosterone in utero resulted in hormonal and behavioral changes in offspring and structural impairments of reproductive tissues in female and male offspring. these studies did not meet current standards for nonclinical development toxicity studies. data animal data in developmental studies conducted in rats, rabbits, pigs, sheep and rhesus monkeys, pregnant animals received intramuscular injection of testosterone during the period of organogenesis. testosterone treatment at doses that were comparable to those used for testosterone replacement therapy resulted in structural impairments in both female and male offspring. structural impairments observed in females included increased ano-genital distance, phallus development, empty scrotum, no external vagina, intrauterine growth retardation, reduced ovarian reserve, and increased ovarian follicular recruitment. structural impairments seen in male offspring included increased testicular weight, larger seminal tubular lumen diameter, and higher frequency of occluded tubule lumen. increased pituitary weight was seen in both sexes. testosterone exposure in utero also resulted in hormonal and behavioral changes in offspring. hypertension was observed in pregnant female rats and their offspring exposed to doses approximately twice those used for testosterone replacement therapy. risk summary testosterone gel, 1.62% is not indicated for use in women. infertility testis disorder, testicular atrophy, and oligospermia have been identified during use of testosterone gel, 1.62% [see adverse reactions (6.1, 6.2)]. during treatment with large doses of exogenous androgens, including testosterone gel, 1.62%, spermatogenesis may be suppressed through feedback inhibition of the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis [see warnings and precautions (5.8)]. reduced fertility is observed in some men taking testosterone replacement therapy. testicular atrophy, subfertility, and infertility have also been reported in men who abuse anabolic androgenic steroids [see drug abuse and dependence (9.2)]. with either type of use, the impact on fertility may be irreversible. the safety and effectiveness of testosterone gel, 1.62% in pediatric patients less than 18 years old has not been established. improper use may result in acceleration of bone age and premature closure of epiphyses. there have not been sufficient numbers of geriatric patients involved in controlled clinical studies utilizing testosterone gel, 1.62% to determine whether efficacy in those over 65 years of age differs from younger subjects. of the 234 patients enrolled in the clinical trial utilizing testosterone gel, 1.62%, 21 were over 65 years of age. additionally, there is insufficient long-term safety data in geriatric patients to assess the potentially increased risks of cardiovascular disease and prostate cancer. geriatric patients treated with androgens may also be at risk for worsening of signs and symptoms of bph. no studies were conducted involving patients with renal impairment. no studies were conducted in patients with hepatic impairment. testosterone gel, 1.62% contains testosterone, a schedule iii controlled substance in the controlled substances act. drug abuse is intentional non-therapeutic use of a drug, even once, for its rewarding psychological and physiological effects. abuse and misuse of testosterone are seen in male and female adults and adolescents. testosterone, often in combination with other anabolic androgenic steroids (aas), and not obtained by prescription through a pharmacy, may be abused by athletes and bodybuilders. there have been reports of misuse by men taking higher doses of legally obtained testosterone than prescribed and continuing testosterone despite adverse events or against medical advice. abuse-related adverse reactions serious adverse reactions have been reported in individuals who abuse anabolic androgenic steroids and include cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular accident, hepatotoxicity, and serious psychiatric manifestations, including major depression, mania, paranoia, psychosis, delusions, hallucinations, hostility and aggression. the following adverse reactions have also been reported in men: transient ischemic attacks, convulsions, hypomania, irritability, dyslipidemias, testicular atrophy, subfertility, and infertility. the following additional adverse reactions have been reported in women: hirsutism, virilization, deepening of voice, clitoral enlargement, breast atrophy, male-pattern baldness, and menstrual irregularities. the following adverse reactions have been reported in male and female adolescents: premature closure of bony epiphyses with termination of growth, and precocious puberty. because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size and may include abuse of other agents, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. behaviors associated with addiction continued abuse of testosterone and other anabolic steroids, leading to addiction is characterized by the following behaviors: -   taking greater dosages than prescribed -   continued drug use despite medical and social problems due to drug use -   spending significant time to obtain the drug when supplies of the drug are interrupted -   giving a higher priority to drug use than other obligations -   having difficulty in discontinuing the drug despite desires and attempts to do so -   experiencing withdrawal symptoms upon abrupt discontinuation of use physical dependence is characterized by withdrawal symptoms after abrupt drug discontinuation or a significant dose reduction of a drug. individuals taking supratherapeutic doses of testosterone may experience withdrawal symptoms lasting for weeks or months which include depressed mood, major depression, fatigue, craving, restlessness, irritability, anorexia, insomnia, decreased libido and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. drug dependence in individuals using approved doses of testosterone for approved indications has not been documented.
