voriconazole tablet

viona pharmaceuticals inc - voriconazole (unii: jfu09i87tr) (voriconazole - unii:jfu09i87tr) - voriconazole tablets are indicated in adults and pediatric patients (2 years of age and older) for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis (ia). in clinical trials, the majority of isolates recovered were aspergillus fumigatus . there was a small number of cases of culture-proven disease due to species of aspergillus other than a. fumigatus [see clinical studies (14.1, 14.5) and microbiology (12.4)].   voriconazole tablets are indicated in adults and pediatric patients (2 years of age and older) for the treatment of candidemia in non-neutropenic patients and the following candida infections: disseminated infections in skin and infections in abdomen, kidney, bladder wall, and wounds [see clinical studies (14.2, 14.5) and microbiology (12.4)]. voriconazole tablets are indicated in adults and pediatric patients (2 years of age and older) for the treatment of esophageal candidiasis (ec) in adults and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older [see clinical studies (14.3, 14.5) and microbiology (12.4)]. voriconazole tablets are indicated for the treatment of serious fungal infections caused by scedosporium apiospermum (asexual form of pseudallescheria boydii ) and fusarium spp. including fusarium solani , in adults and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older intolerant of, or refractory to, other therapy [see clinical studies (14.4) and microbiology (12.4)]. specimens for fungal culture and other relevant laboratory studies (including histopathology) should be obtained prior to therapy to isolate and identify causative organism(s). therapy may be instituted before the results of the cultures and other laboratory studies are known. however, once these results become available, antifungal therapy should be adjusted accordingly. - voriconazole tablets are contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to voriconazole or its excipients. there is no information regarding cross-sensitivity between voriconazole and other azole antifungal agents. caution should be used when prescribing voriconazole to patients with hypersensitivity to other azoles. - coadministration of pimozide , quinidine or ivabradine with voriconazole is contraindicated because increased plasma concentrations of these drugs can lead to qt prolongation and rare occurrences of torsade de pointes [see drug interactions(7) ]. - coadministration of voriconazole with sirolimus is contraindicated because voriconazole significantly increases sirolimus concentrations [see drug interactions (7) and clinical pharmacology (12.3) ]. - coadministration of voriconazole with rifampin, carbamazepine, long-acting barbiturates, and st john's wort is contraindicated because these drugs are likely to decrease plasma voriconazole concentrations significantly [see drug interactions (7) and clinical pharmacology (12.3) ]. - coadministration of standard doses of voriconazole with efavirenz doses of 400 mg every 24 hours or higher is contraindicated, because efavirenz significantly decreases plasma voriconazole concentrations in healthy subjects at these doses. voriconazole also significantly increases efavirenz plasma concentrations [see drug interactions (7) and clinical pharmacology (12.3) ]. - coadministration of voriconazole with high-dose ritonavir (400 mg every 12 hours) is contraindicated because ritonavir (400 mg every 12 hours) significantly decreases plasma voriconazole concentrations. coadministration of voriconazole and low-dose ritonavir (100 mg every 12 hours) should be avoided, unless an assessment of the benefit/risk to the patient justifies the use of voriconazole [see drug interactions (7) and clinical pharmacology (12.3) ]. - coadministration of voriconazole with rifabutin is contraindicated since voriconazole significantly increases rifabutin plasma concentrations and rifabutin also significantly decreases voriconazole plasma concentrations [see drug interactions (7) and clinical pharmacology (12.3) ]. - coadministration of voriconazole with ergot alkaloids (ergotamine and dihydroergotamine) is contraindicated because voriconazole may increase the plasma concentration of ergot alkaloids, which may lead to ergotism [see drug interactions (7) ]. - coadministration of voriconazole with naloxegol is contraindicated because voriconazole may increase plasma concentrations of naloxegol which may precipitate opioid withdrawal symptoms [see drug interactions (7)] . - coadministration of voricoazole with tolvaptan is contraindicated because voriconazole may increase tolvaptan plasma concentrations and increase risk of adverse reactions [see drug interactions (7) ]. - coadministration of voriconazole with venetoclax at initiation and during the ramp-up phase is contraindicated in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (cll) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (sll) due to the potential for increased risk of tumor lysis syndrome [see drug interactions(7) ]. - coadministration of voriconazole with lurasidone is contraindicated since it may result in significant increases in lurasidone exposure and the potential for serious adverse reactions [see drug interactions(7) ]. risk summary voriconazole can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. there are no available data on the use of voriconazole in pregnant women. in animal reproduction studies, oral voriconazole was associated with fetal malformations in rats and fetal toxicity in rabbits. cleft palates and hydronephrosis/hydroureter were observed in rat pups exposed to voriconazole during organogenesis at and above 10 mg/kg (0.3 times the rmd of 200 mg every 12 hours based on body surface area comparisons). in rabbits, embryomortality, reduced fetal weight and increased incidence of skeletal variations, cervical ribs and extrasternal ossification sites were observed in pups when pregnant rabbits were orally dosed at 100 mg/kg (6 times the rmd based on body surface area comparisons) during organogenesis. rats exposed to voriconazole from implantation to weaning experienced increased gestational length and dystocia, which were associated with increased perinatal pup mortality at the 10 mg/kg dose [see data] . if this drug is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, inform the patient of the potential hazard to the fetus [see warnings and precautions (5.9)]. the background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. in the u.s. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20% respectively. data animal data voriconazole was administered orally to pregnant rats during organogenesis (gestation days 6-17) at 10, 30, and 60 mg/kg/day. voriconazole was associated with increased incidences of the malformations hydroureter and hydronephrosis at 10 mg/kg/day or greater, approximately 0.3 times the recommended human dose (rmd) based on body surface area comparisons, and cleft palate at 60 mg/kg, approximately 2 times the rmd based body surface area comparisons. reduced ossification of sacral and caudal vertebrae, skull, pubic, and hyoid bone, supernumerary ribs, anomalies of the sternebrae, and dilatation of the ureter/renal pelvis were also observed at doses of 10 mg/kg or greater. there was no evidence of maternal toxicity at any dose. voriconazole was administered orally to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis (gestation days 7-19) at 10, 40, and 100 mg/kg/day. voriconazole was associated with increased post-implantation loss and decreased fetal body weight, in association with maternal toxicity (decreased body weight gain and food consumption) at 100 mg/kg/day (6 times the rmd based on body surface area comparisons). fetal skeletal variations (increases in the incidence of cervical rib and extra sternebral ossification sites) were observed at 100 mg/kg/day. in a peri-and postnatal toxicity study in rats, voriconazole was administered orally to female rats from implantation through the end of lactation at 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg/day. voriconazole prolonged the duration of gestation and labor and produced dystocia with related increases in maternal mortality and decreases in perinatal survival of f1 pups at 10 mg/kg/day, approximately 0.3 times the rmd. risk summary no data are available regarding the presence of voriconazole in human milk, the effects of voriconazole on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for voriconazole and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from voriconazole or from the underlying maternal condition. contraception advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with voriconazole. the coadministration of voriconazole with the oral contraceptive, ortho-novum® (35 mcg ethinyl estradiol and 1 mg norethindrone), results in an interaction between these two drugs, but is unlikely to reduce the contraceptive effect. monitoring for adverse reactions associated with oral contraceptives and voriconazole is recommended [see drug interactions (7) and clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. the safety and effectiveness of voriconazole have been established in pediatric patients 2 years of age and older based on evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adult and pediatric patients and additional pediatric pharmacokinetic and safety data. a total of 105 pediatric patients aged 2 to less than 12 [n=26] and aged 12 to less than 18 [n=79] from two, non-comparative phase 3 pediatric studies and eight adult therapeutic trials provided safety information for voriconazole use in the pediatric population [see adverse  reactions (6.1), clinical pharmacology (12.3), and clinical studies (14)] . safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 2 years has not been established. therefore, voriconazole is not recommended for pediatric patients less than 2 years of age. a higher frequency of liver enzyme elevations was observed in the pediatric patients [see dosage and administration (2.5), warnings  and precautions (5.1), and adverse reactions (6.1)] . the frequency of phototoxicity reactions is higher in the pediatric population. squamous cell carcinoma has been reported in patients who experience photosensitivity reactions. stringent measures for photoprotection are warranted. sun avoidance and dermatologic follow-up are recommended in pediatric patients experiencing photoaging injuries, such as lentigines or ephelides, even after treatment discontinuation [see warnings and precautions (5.6)]. voriconazole has not been studied in pediatric patients with hepatic or renal impairment [see dosage and administration (2.5, 2.6)] . hepatic function and serum creatinine levels should be closely monitored in pediatric patients [see dosage and administration (2.6) and warnings and precautions (5.1, 5.10)] . in multiple dose therapeutic trials of voriconazole, 9.2% of patients were ≥65 years of age and 1.8% of patients were ≥75 years of age. in a study in healthy subjects, the systemic exposure (auc) and peak plasma concentrations (cmax ) were increased in elderly males compared to young males. pharmacokinetic data obtained from 552 patients from 10 voriconazole therapeutic trials showed that voriconazole plasma concentrations in the elderly patients were approximately 80% to 90% higher than those in younger patients after either iv or oral administration. however, the overall safety profile of the elderly patients was similar to that of the young so no dosage adjustment is recommended [see clinical pharmacology (12.3) ].

"drug-seeking" behavior is very common in persons with substance use disorders. drug-seeking tactics include emergency calls or visits near the end of office hours, refusal to undergo appropriate examination, testing, or referral, repeated "loss" of prescriptions, tampering with prescriptions, and reluctance to provide prior medical records or contact information for other treating healthcare provider(s). "doctor shopping" (visiting multiple prescribers to obtain additional prescriptions) is common among people who abuse drugs and people with substance use disorder. preoccupation with achieving adequate pain relief can be appropriate behavior in a patient with inadequate pain control. oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets, like other opioids, can be diverted for nonmedical use into illicit channels of distribution. careful record-keeping of prescribing information, including quantity, frequency, and renewal requests, as required by state and federal law, is strongly advised. proper assessment of the patient, proper prescribing practices, periodic reevaluation of therapy, and proper dispensing and storage are appropriate measures that help to limit abuse of opioid drugs. risks specific to abuse of oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets abuse of oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets poses a risk of overdose and death. the risk is increased with concurrent use of oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets with alcohol and/or other cns depressants. both tolerance and physical dependence can develop during chronic opioid therapy. tolerance is the need for increasing doses of opioids to maintain a defined effect such as analgesia (in the absence of disease progression or other external factors). tolerance may occur to both the desired and undesired effects of drugs, and may develop at different rates for different effects. physical dependence is a physiological state in which the body adapts to the drug after a period of regular exposure, resulting in withdrawal symptoms after abrupt discontinuation or a significant dosage reduction of a drug. withdrawal also may be precipitated through the administration of drugs with opioid antagonist activity (e.g., naloxone, nalmefene), mixed agonist/antagonist analgesics (e.g., pentazocine, butorphanol, nalbuphine), or partial agonists (e.g., buprenorphine). physical dependence may not occur to a clinically significant degree until after several days to weeks of continued opioid usage. do not abruptly discontinue oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets in a patient physically dependent on opioids. rapid tapering of oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets in a patient physically dependent on opioids may lead to serious withdrawal symptoms, uncontrolled pain, and suicide. rapid discontinuation has also been associated with attempts to find other sources of opioid analgesics, which may be confused with drug-seeking for abuse. when discontinuing oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets, gradually taper the dosage using a patient-specific plan that considers the following: the dose of oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets the patient has been taking, the duration of treatment, and the physical and psychological attributes of the patient. to improve the likelihood of a successful taper and minimize withdrawal symptoms, it is important that the opioid tapering schedule is agreed upon by the patient. in patients taking opioids for a long duration at high doses, ensure that a multimodal approach to pain management, including mental health support (if needed), is in place prior to initiating an opioid analgesic taper [see dosage and administration,  warnings ]. infants born to mothers physically dependent on opioids will also be physically dependent and may exhibit respiratory difficulties and withdrawal signs [see precautions; pregnancy ].
