depressive disorder (mdd) in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older. • generalized anxiety disorder (gad) in adults. additional pediatric use information is approved for abbvie inc.’s lexapro (escitalopram) tablets and lexapro (escitalopram) oral solution. however, due to abbvie inc.’s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information. escitalopram is contraindicated in patients: • taking maois with escitalopram or within 14 days of stopping treatment with escitalopram because of an increased risk of serotonin syndrome. the use of escitalopram within 14 days of stopping an maoi intended to treat psychiatric disorders is also contraindicated [see dosage and administration (2.7) and warnings and precautions (5.2)]. starting escitalopram 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 dosage and administration (2.6) and warnings and precautions (5.2)]. • taking pimozide [see drug interactions (7)]. • with a hypersensitivity to escitalopram or citalopram or any of the inactive ingredients in escitalopram.  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/clnical-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 17 warnings and precautions (5.7) and clinical considerations ]. available data from published epidemiologic studies and postmarketing reports have not established an increased risk of major birth defects or miscarriage. there are risks of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (pphn) (see data ) and poor neonatal adaptation (see clinical considerations ) with exposure to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (ssris), including escitalopram, during pregnancy. there are risks associated with untreated depression in pregnancy (see clinical considerations). in animal reproduction studies, both escitalopram and racemic citalopram have been shown to have adverse effects on embryo/fetal and postnatal development, including fetal structural abnormalities, when administered at doses greater than human therapeutic doses (see data ). the estimated 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 the clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. clinical considerations disease-associated maternal risk and/or embryo/fetal risk women who discontinue antidepressants are more likely to experience a relapse of major depression than women who continue antidepressants. this finding is from a prospective longitudinal study of 201 pregnant women with a history of major depression, who were euthymic and taking antidepressants at the beginning of pregnancy. consider the risk of untreated depression when discontinuing or changing treatment with antidepressant medication during pregnancy and postpartum. maternal adverse reactions use of escitalopram in the month before delivery may be associated with an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage [see warnings and precautions (5.7)]. fetal/neonatal adverse reactions neonates exposed to ssris or snris, including escitalopram, late in 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)]. data human data exposure to ssris, particularly later in pregnancy, may increase the risk for pphn. pphn occurs in 1 to 2 per 1000 live births in the general populations and is associated with substantial neonatal morbidity and mortality. animal data in a rat embryo/fetal development study, oral administration of escitalopram (56, 112, or 150 mg/kg/day) to pregnant animals during the period of organogenesis resulted in decreased fetal body weight and associated delays in ossification at the two higher doses [approximately ≥ 55 times the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd) of 20 mg/day on a mg/m2 basis]. maternal toxicity (clinical signs and decreased body weight gain and food consumption), mild at 56 mg/kg/day, was present at all dose levels. the developmental no-effect dose of 56 mg/kg/day is approximately 27 times the mrhd of 20 mg on a mg/m2 basis. no malformations were observed at any of the doses tested (as high as 73 times the mrhd on a mg/m2 basis). when female rats were treated with escitalopram (6, 12, 24, or 48 mg/kg/day) during pregnancy and through weaning, slightly increased offspring mortality and growth retardation were noted at 48 mg/kg/day which is approximately 23 times the mrhd of 20 mg on a mg/m2 basis. slight maternal toxicity (clinical signs and decreased body weight gain and food consumption) was seen at this dose. slightly increased offspring mortality was also seen at 24 mg/kg/day. the no-effect dose was 12 mg/kg/day which is approximately 6 times the mrhd of 20 mg on a mg/m2 basis. in two rat embryo/fetal development studies, oral administration of racemic citalopram (32, 56, or 112 mg/kg/day) to pregnant animals during the period of organogenesis resulted in decreased embryo/fetal growth and survival and an increased incidence of fetal abnormalities (including cardiovascular and skeletal defects) at the high dose, which is approximately 18 times the mrhd of 60 mg/day on a mg/m2 basis. this dose was also associated with maternal toxicity (clinical signs, decreased body weight gain). the developmental no-effect dose was 56 mg/kg/day is approximately 9 times the mrhd on a mg/m2 basis. in a rabbit study, no adverse effects on embryo/fetal development were observed at doses of racemic citalopram of up to 16 mg/kg/day, or approximately 5 times the mrhd on a mg/m2 basis. thus, developmental effects of racemic citalopram were observed at a maternally toxic dose in the rat and were not observed in the rabbit. when female rats were treated with racemic citalopram (4.8, 12.8, or 32 mg/kg/day) from late gestation through weaning, increased offspring mortality during the first 4 days after birth and persistent offspring growth retardation were observed at the highest dose, which is approximately 5 times the mrhd of 60 mg on a mg/m2 basis. the no-effect dose was 12.8 mg/kg/day is approximately 2 times the mrhd on a mg/m2 basis. similar effects on offspring mortality and growth were seen when dams were treated throughout gestation and early lactation at doses ≥ 24 mg/kg/day, approximately 4 times the mrhd on a mg/m2 basis. a no-effect dose was not determined in that study. risk summary data from the published literature report the presence of escitalopram and desmethylescitalopram in human milk (see data). there are reports of excessive sedation, restlessness, agitation, poor feeding and poor weight gain in infants exposed to escitalopram, through breast milk (see clinical considerations), . there are no data on the effects of escitalopram or its metabolites on milk production. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for escitalopram and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from escitalopram or from the underlying maternal condition. clinical considerations infants exposed to escitalopram should be monitored for excess sedation, restlessness, agitation, poor feeding and poor weight gain. data a study of 8 nursing mothers on escitalopram with daily doses of 10 to 20 mg/day showed that exclusively breast-fed infants receive approximately 3.9% of the maternal weight-adjusted dose of escitalopram and 1.7% of the maternal weight-adjusted dose of desmethylcitalopram. major depressive disorder the safety and effectiveness of escitalopram for the treatment of major depressive disorder have been established in pediatric patients 12 years of age and older. use of escitalopram for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults with additional evidence from an 8-week, flexible-dose, placebo-controlled study that compared escitalopram 10 mg to 20 mg once daily to placebo in pediatric patients 12 to 17 years of age with major depressive disorder [see clinical studies (14.1) ]. the safety of escitalopram was similar to adult patients with mdd [see adverse reactions (6.1)]. the safety and effectiveness of escitalopram for the treatment of major depressive disorder have not been established in pediatric patients younger than 12 years of age. in a 24-week, open- label safety study in 118 pediatric patients aged 7 to 11 years who had major depressive disorder, the safety findings were consistent with the known safety and tolerability profile for escitalopram. generalized anxiety disorder the safety and effectiveness of escitalopram for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder have been established in pediatric patients 7 years of age and older. use of escitalopram for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults with additional evidence from an 8-week, flexible-dose, placebo controlled study that compared escitalopram 10 mg to 20 mg once daily to placebo in pediatric patients 7 to 17 years of age with gad [see clinical studies (14.2)] . the safety of escitalopram was similar to adult patients with gad [see adverse reactions (6.1)]. the safety and effectiveness of escitalopram for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder have not been established in pediatric patients younger than 7 years of age. antidepressants increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in pediatric patients [see warnings and precautions (5.1)] . decreased appetite and weight loss have been observed in association with the use of ssris. consequently, regular monitoring of weight and growth should be performed in children and adolescents treated with an ssri such as escitalopram. juvenile animal toxicity data in a juvenile animal study, male and female rats were administered escitalopram at 5, 40, or 80 mg/kg/day by oral gavage from postnatal day (pnd) 21 to pnd 69. a delay in sexual maturation was observed in both males and females at ≥ 40 mg/kg/day with a no observed adverse effect level (noael) of 5 mg/kg/day. this noael was associated with plasma auc levels less than those measured at the maximum recommended dose (mrhd) in pediatrics (20 mg). however, there was no effect on reproductive function. increased motor activity (both ambulatory and fine movements) was observed in females prior to daily dosing at ≥ 40 mg/kg/day (3.5 times the mrhd based on auc levels). a reversible disruption of learning and memory function was observed in males at 80 mg/kg/day with a noael of 40 mg/kg/day, which was associated with an auc level 3.5 times those measured at the mrhd in pediatrics. there was no effect on learning and memory function in treated female rats. additional pediatric use information is approved for abbvie inc.’s lexapro (escitalopram) tablets and lexapro (escitalopram) oral solution. however, due to abbvie inc.’s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information. approximately 69 patients (6%) of the 1,144 patients receiving escitalopram in controlled trials of escitalopram in major depressive disorder and gad were 60 years of age or older [see clinical studies (14.1, 14.2) ]. the number of elderly patients in these trials was insufficient to adequately assess for possible differential efficacy and safety measures on the basis of age. nevertheless, greater sensitivity of some elderly individuals to effects of escitalopram cannot be ruled out. in two pharmacokinetic studies, escitalopram half-life was increased by approximately 50% in subjects 65 years and older as compared to young subjects and cmax was unchanged [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. the recommended dosage of escitalopram for elderly patients is 10 mg daily [see dosage and administration (2.5)] . ssris, including escitalopram, 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 (5.6)] . of 4,422 patients in clinical studies of racemic citalopram, 1,357 were 60 and over, 1,034 were 65 and over, and 457 were 75 and over. no overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the geriatric and younger patients, but again, greater sensitivity of some elderly individuals cannot be ruled out. increased citalopram exposure occurs in patients with hepatic impairment [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . the recommended dosage of escitalopram in patients with hepatic impairment is 10 mg daily [see dosage and administration (2.5)] . pharmacokinetics of escitalopram in patients with a creatinine clearance less than 20 ml/minute has not been evaluated. no dosage adjustment is necessary for patients with mild or moderate renal impairment [see dosage and administration (2.5), clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. physical and psychological dependence animal studies suggest that the abuse liability of racemic citalopram is low. escitalopram has not been systematically studied in humans for its potential for abuse, tolerance, or physical dependence. the premarketing clinical experience with escitalopram did not reveal any drug-seeking behavior. however, 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, physicians should carefully evaluate escitalopram patients for history of drug abuse and follow such patients closely, observing them for signs of misuse or abuse (e.g., development of tolerance, incrementations of dose, drug-seeking behavior).

macleods pharmaceuticals limited - clopidogrel bisulfate (unii: 08i79htp27) (clopidogrel - unii:a74586sno7) - clopidogrel 75 mg - • clopidogrel is indicated to reduce the rate of myocardial infarction (mi) and stroke in patients with non-st-segment elevation acs (unstable angina [ua]/non-st-elevation myocardial infarction [nstemi]), including patients who are to be managed medically and those who are to be managed with coronary revascularization. clopidogrel should be administered in conjunction with aspirin. • clopidogrel is indicated to reduce the rate of myocardial infarction and stroke in patients with acute st-elevation myocardial infarction (stemi) who are to be managed medically. clopidogrel should be administered in conjunction with aspirin. in patients with established peripheral arterial disease or with a history of recent myocardial infarction (mi) or recent stroke clopidogrel is indicated to reduce the rate of mi and stroke. clopidogrel tablets are contraindicated in patients with active pathological bleeding such as peptic ulcer or intracranial hemorrhage. clopidogrel tablets are contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylaxis) to clopidogrel or any component of the product [see adverse reactions (6.2)] . risk summary available data from cases reported in published literature and postmarketing surveillance with clopidogrel use in pregnant women have not identified any drug-associated risks for major birth defects or miscarriage [see data]. there are risks to the pregnant woman and fetus associated with myocardial infarction and stroke [see clinical considerations ]. no evidence of fetotoxicity was observed when clopidogrel was administered to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at doses corresponding to 65 and 78 times the recommended daily human dose [see data ]. the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. all pregnancies have a background risk of birth defects, 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 disease-associated maternal and/or embryo/fetal risk myocardial infarction and stroke are medical emergencies. therapy for the pregnant woman should not be withheld because of potential concerns regarding the effects of clopidogrel on the fetus. labor or delivery clopidogrel use during labor or delivery will increase the risk of maternal bleeding and hemorrhage. avoid neuraxial blockade during clopidogrel use because of the risk of spinal hematoma. when possible, discontinue clopidogrel 5 to 7 days prior to labor, delivery, or neuraxial blockade. data human data the available data from published case reports over two decades of postmarketing use have not identified an association with clopidogrel use in pregnancy and major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse fetal outcomes. animal data embryo-fetal developmental toxicology studies were performed in pregnant rats and rabbits with doses up to 500 and 300 mg/kg/day, respectively, administered during organogenesis. these doses, corresponding to 65 and 78 times the recommended daily human dose, respectively, on a mg/m2 basis, revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or fetotoxicity due to clopidogrel. risk summary there are no data on the presence of clopidogrel in human milk or the effects on milk production. no adverse effects on breastfed infants have been observed with maternal clopidogrel use during lactation in a small number of postmarketing cases. studies in rats have shown that clopidogrel and/or its metabolites are present in the milk. when a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will be present in human milk. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with mother’s clinical need for clopidogrel and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from clopidogrel or from underlying maternal condition. safety and effectiveness in pediatric populations have not been established. a randomized, placebo-controlled trial (clarinet) did not demonstrate a clinical benefit of clopidogrel in neonates and infants with cyanotic congenital heart disease palliated with a systemic-to-pulmonary arterial shunt. possible factors contributing to this outcome were the dose of clopidogrel, the concomitant administration of aspirin, and the late initiation of therapy following shunt palliation. it cannot be ruled out that a trial with a different design would demonstrate a clinical benefit in this patient population. of the total number of subjects in the caprie and cure controlled clinical studies, approximately 50% of patients treated with clopidogrel  were 65 years of age and older, and 15% were 75 years and older. in commit, approximately 58% of the patients treated with clopidogrel were 60 years and older, 26% of whom were 70 years and older. the observed risk of bleeding events with clopidogrel plus aspirin versus placebo plus aspirin by age category is provided in table 1 and table 2 for the cure and commit trials, respectively [see adverse reactions (6.1)] . no dosage adjustment is necessary in elderly patients. experience is limited in patients with severe and moderate renal impairment [see clinical pharmacology (12.2)]. no dosage adjustment is necessary in patients with hepatic impairment [see clinical pharmacology (12.2)] .
