buprenorphine hcl tablet

clinical solutions wholesale, llc - buprenorphine hydrochloride (unii: 56w8mw3en1) (buprenorphine - unii:40d3scr4gz) - buprenorphine sublingual tablets are indicated for the treatment of opioid dependence and are preferred for induction. buprenorphine sublingual tablets should be used as part of a complete treatment plan to include counseling and psychosocial support. buprenorphine sublingual tablets is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to buprenorphine, as serious adverse reactions, including anaphylactic shock, have been reported [see warnings and precautions ( 5.9)] . risk summary the data on use of buprenorphine, the active ingredient in buprenorphine sublingual tablets, in pregnancy, are limited; however, these data do not indicate an increased risk of major malformations specifically due to buprenorphine exposure. there are limited data from randomized clinical trials in women maintained on buprenorphine that were not designed appropriately to assess the risk of major malformations [see data]. observational studies have reported on congenital malformations among buprenorphine-exposed pregnancies, but were also not designed appropriately to assess the risk of congenital malformations specifically due to buprenorphine exposure [see data]. reproductive and developmental studies in rats and rabbits identified adverse events at clinically relevant and higher doses. embryofetal death was observed in both rats and rabbits administered buprenorphine during the period of organogenesis at doses approximately 6 and 0.3 times, respectively, the human sublingual dose of 16 mg/day of buprenorphine. pre- and post-natal development studies in rats demonstrated increased neonatal deaths at 0.3 times and above and dystocia at approximately 3 times the human sublingual dose of 16 mg/day of buprenorphine. no clear teratogenic effects were seen when buprenorphine was administered during organogenesis with a range of doses equivalent to or greater than the human sublingual dose of 16 mg/day of buprenorphine. however, increases in skeletal abnormalities were noted in rats and rabbits administered buprenorphine daily during organogenesis at doses approximately 0.6 times and approximately equal to the human sublingual dose of 16 mg/day of buprenorphine, respectively. in a few studies, some events such as acephalus and omphalocele were also observed but these findings were not clearly treatment-related [see data]. based on animal data, advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. the estimated background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population are 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 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. clinical considerations disease-associated maternal and embryo-fetal risk : untreated opioid addiction in pregnancy is associated with adverse obstetrical outcomes such as low birth weight, preterm birth, and fetal death. in addition, untreated opioid addiction often results in continued or relapsing illicit opioid use. dose adjustment during pregnancy and the postpartum period: dosage adjustments of buprenorphine may be required during pregnancy, even if the patient was maintained on a stable dose prior to pregnancy. withdrawal signs and symptoms should be monitored closely and the dose adjusted as necessary. fetal/neonatal adverse reactions : neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome may occur in newborn infants of mothers who are receiving treatment with buprenorphine sublingual tablets. neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome presents as irritability, hyperactivity and abnormal sleep pattern, high pitched cry, tremor, vomiting, diarrhea, and/or failure to gain weight. signs of neonatal withdrawal usually occur in the first days after birth. the duration and severity of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome may vary. observe newborns for signs of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and manage accordingly [see warnings and precautions ( 5.5)] . labor or delivery : opioid-dependent women on buprenorphine maintenance therapy may require additional analgesia during labor. data human data : studies have been conducted to evaluate neonatal outcomes in women exposed to buprenorphine during pregnancy. limited data from trials, observational studies, case series, and case reports on buprenorphine use in pregnancy do not indicate an increased risk of major malformations specifically due to buprenorphine. several factors may complicate the interpretation of investigations of the children of women who take buprenorphine during pregnancy, including maternal use of illicit drugs, late presentation for prenatal care, infection, poor compliance, poor nutrition, and psychosocial circumstances. interpretation of data is complicated further by the lack of information on untreated opioid-dependent pregnant women, who would be the most appropriate group for comparison. rather, women on another form of opioid medication-assisted treatment, or women in the general population are generally used as the comparison group. however, women in these comparison groups may be different from women prescribed buprenorphine-containing products with respect to maternal factors that may lead to poor pregnancy outcomes. in a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial [maternal opioid treatment: human experimental research (mother)] designed primarily to assess neonatal opioid withdrawal effects, opioid-dependent pregnant women were randomized to buprenorphine (n=86) or methadone (n=89) treatment, with enrollment at an average gestational age of 18.7 weeks in both groups. a total of 28 of the 86 women in the buprenorphine group (33%) and 16 of the 89 women in the methadone group (18%) discontinued treatment before the end of pregnancy. among women who remained in treatment until delivery, there was no difference between buprenorphine-treated and methadone-treated groups in the number of neonates requiring nows treatment or in the peak severity of nows. buprenorphine-exposed neonates required less morphine (mean total dose, 1.1 mg vs. 10.4 mg), had shorter hospital stays (10.0 days vs. 17.5 days), and shorter duration of treatment for nows (4.1 days vs. 9.9 days) compared to the methadone-exposed group. there were no differences between groups in other primary outcomes (neonatal head circumference,) or secondary outcomes (weight and length at birth, preterm birth, gestational age at delivery, and 1- minute and 5-minute apgar scores), or in the rates of maternal or neonatal adverse events. the outcomes among mothers who discontinued treatment before delivery and may have relapsed to illicit opioid use are not known. because of the imbalance in discontinuation rates between the buprenorphine and methadone groups, the study findings are difficult to interpret. animal data : the exposure margins listed below are based on body surface area comparisons (mg/m 2 ) to the human sublingual dose of 16 mg buprenorphine via buprenorphine sublingual tablets. no definitive drug-related teratogenic effects were observed in rats and rabbits at im doses up to 30 mg/kg/day (estimated exposure approximately 20 times and 35 times, respectively, the human sublingual dose of 16 mg). maternal toxicity resulting in mortality was noted in these studies in both rats and rabbits. acephalus was observed in one rabbit fetus from the low-dose group and omphalocele was observed in two rabbit fetuses from the same litter in the mid-dose group; no findings were observed in fetuses from the high-dose group. maternal toxicity was seen in the high-dose group but not at the lower doses where the findings were observed. following oral administration of buprenorphine to rats, dose-related post-implantation losses, evidenced by increases in the numbers of early resorptions with consequent reductions in the numbers of fetuses, were observed at doses of 10 mg/kg/day or greater (estimated exposure approximately 6 times the human sublingual dose of 16 mg). in the rabbit, increased post-implantation losses occurred at an oral dose of 40 mg/kg/day. following im administration in the rat and the rabbit, post-implantation losses, as evidenced by decreases in live fetuses and increases in resorptions, occurred at 30 mg/kg/day. buprenorphine was not teratogenic in rats or rabbits after im or subcutaneous (sc) doses up to 5 mg/kg/day (estimated exposure was approximately 3 and 6 times, respectively, the human sublingual dose of 16 mg), after iv doses up to 0.8 mg/kg/day (estimated exposure was approximately 0.5 times and equal to, respectively, the human sublingual dose of 16 mg), or after oral doses up to 160 mg/kg/day in rats (estimated exposure was approximately 95 times the human sublingual dose of 16 mg) and 25 mg/kg/day in rabbits (estimated exposure was approximately 30 times the human sublingual dose of 16 mg). significant increases in skeletal abnormalities (e.g., extra thoracic vertebra or thoraco-lumbar ribs) were noted in rats after sc administration of 1 mg/kg/day and up (estimated exposure was approximately 0.6 times the human sublingual dose of 16 mg), but were not observed at oral doses up to 160 mg/kg/day. increases in skeletal abnormalities in rabbits after im administration of 5 mg/kg/day (estimated exposure was approximately 6 times the human sublingual dose of 16 mg) in the absence of maternal toxicity or oral administration of 1 mg/kg/day or greater (estimated exposure was approximately equal to the human sublingual dose of 16 mg) were not statistically significant. in rabbits, buprenorphine produced statistically significant pre-implantation losses at oral doses of 1 mg/kg/day or greater and post-implantation losses that were statistically significant at iv doses of 0.2 mg/kg/day or greater (estimated exposure approximately 0.3 times the human sublingual dose of 16 mg). no maternal toxicity was noted at doses causing post-implantation loss in this study. dystocia was noted in pregnant rats treated intramuscularly with buprenorphine from gestation day 14 through lactation day 21 at 5 mg/kg/day (approximately 3 times the human sublingual dose of 16 mg). fertility, and pre- and post-natal development studies with buprenorphine in rats indicated increases in neonatal mortality after oral doses of 0.8 mg/kg/day and up (approximately 0.5 times the human sublingual dose of 16 mg), after im doses of 0.5 mg/kg/day and up (approximately 0.3 times the human sublingual dose of 16 mg), and after sc doses of 0.1 mg/kg/day and up (approximately 0.06 times the human sublingual dose of 16 mg). an apparent lack of milk production during these studies likely contributed to the decreased pup viability and lactation indices. delays in the occurrence of righting reflex and startle response were noted in rat pups at an oral dose of 80 mg/kg/day (approximately 50 times the human sublingual dose of 16 mg). risk summary based on two studies in 13 lactating women maintained on buprenorphine treatment, buprenorphine and its metabolite norbuprenorphine are present in low levels in human milk and, and available data have not shown adverse reactions in breastfed infants. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for buprenorphine sublingual tablets and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from the drug or from the underlying maternal condition. clinical considerations advise breastfeeding women taking buprenorphine sublingual tablets to monitor the infant for increased drowsiness and breathing difficulties. data data were consistent from two studies (n=13) of breastfeeding infants whose mothers were maintained on sublingual doses of buprenorphine ranging from 2.4 to 24 mg/day, showing that the infants were exposed to less than 1% of the maternal daily dose. in a study of six lactating women who were taking a median sublingual buprenorphine dose of 0.29 mg/kg/day 5 to 8 days after delivery, breast milk provided a median infant dose of 0.42 mcg/kg/day of buprenorphine and 0.33 mcg/kg/day of norbuprenorphine, equal to 0.2% and 0.12%, respectively, of the maternal weight-adjusted dose (relative dose/kg (%) of norbuprenorphine was calculated from the assumption that buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine are equipotent). data from a study of seven lactating women who were taking a median sublingual buprenorphine dose of 7 mg/day an average of 1.12 months after delivery indicated that the mean milk concentrations (cavg) of buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine were 3.65 mcg/l and 1.94 mcg/l respectively. based on the study data, and assuming milk consumption of 150 ml/kg/day, an exclusively breastfed infant would receive an estimated mean absolute infant dose (aid) of 0.55 mcg/kg/day of buprenorphine and 0.29 mcg/kg/day of norbuprenorphine, or a mean relative infant dose (rid) of 0.38% and 0.18%, respectively, of the maternal weight-adjusted dose. infertility chronic use of opioids may cause reduced fertility in females and males of reproductive potential. it is not known whether these effects on fertility are reversible [see adverse reactions ( 6.2), clinical pharmacology ( 12.2), nonclinical toxicology ( 13.1)]. the safety and effectiveness of buprenorphine sublingual tablets has not been established in pediatric patients. clinical studies of buprenorphine sublingual tablets, buprenorphine and naloxone sublingual film, or buprenorphine and naloxone sublingual tablets did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they responded differently than younger subjects. other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. due to possible decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy in geriatric patients, the decision to prescribe buprenorphine sublingual tablets should be made cautiously in individuals 65 years of age or older and these patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of toxicity or overdose. the effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of buprenorphine were evaluated in a pharmacokinetic study. buprenorphine is extensively metabolized in the liver and buprenorphine plasma levels were found to be higher and the half-life was found to be longer in subjects with moderate and severe hepatic impairment, but not in subjects with mild hepatic impairment. for patients with severe hepatic impairment, a dose adjustment is recommended, and patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment should be monitored for signs and symptoms of toxicity or overdose caused by increased levels of buprenorphine [see dosage and administration ( 2.7), warnings and precautions ( 5.12) and clinical pharmacology ( 12.3)]. no differences in buprenorphine pharmacokinetics were observed between 9 dialysis-dependent and 6 normal patients following iv administration of 0.3 mg buprenorphine. buprenorphine sublingual tablets contain buprenorphine, a schedule iii controlled substance under the controlled substances act. under the drug addiction treatment act (data) codified at 21 u.s.c. 823(g), prescription use of this product in the treatment of opioid dependence is limited to physicians who meet certain qualifying requirements, and who have notified the secretary of health and human services (hhs) of their intent to prescribe this product for the treatment of opioid dependence and have been assigned a unique identification number that must be included on every prescription. buprenorphine, like morphine and other opioids, has the potential for being abused and is subject to criminal diversion. this should be considered when prescribing or dispensing buprenorphine in situations when the clinician is concerned about an increased risk of misuse, abuse, or diversion. healthcare professionals should contact their state professional licensing board or state controlled substances authority for information on how to prevent and detect abuse or diversion of this product. patients who continue to misuse, abuse, or divert, buprenorphine products or other opioids should be provided or referred for more intensive and structured treatment. abuse of buprenorphine poses a risk of overdose and death. this risk is increased with the abuse of buprenorphine and alcohol and other substances, especially benzodiazepines. the healthcare provider may be able to more easily detect misuse or diversion by maintaining records of medication prescribed including date, dose, quantity, frequency of refills, and renewal requests of medication prescribed. proper assessment of the patient, proper prescribing practices, periodic re-evaluation of therapy, and proper handling and storage of the medication are appropriate measures that help to limit abuse of opioid drugs. buprenorphine is a partial agonist at the mu-opioid receptor and chronic administration produces physical dependence of the opioid type, characterized by moderate withdrawal signs and symptoms upon abrupt discontinuation or rapid taper. the withdrawal syndrome is typically milder than seen with full agonists and may be delayed in onset [see warnings and precautions ( 5.7)]. neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (nows) is an expected and treatable outcome of prolonged use of opioids during pregnancy [see warnings and precautions ( 5.5)].
