CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
OCALIVA is indicated for the treatment of primary biliary cholangitis
(also known as primary biliary
cirrhosis) in combination with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in adults
with an inadequate response to
UDCA or as monotherapy in adults unable to tolerate UDCA.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
Prior to initiation of treatment with obeticholic acid the patient’s
hepatic status must be known.
Whether the patient has decompensated cirrhosis (including Child-Pugh
Class B or C) or has had a prior
decompensation event should be determined prior to initiation of
treatment because obeticholic acid is
contraindicated in these patients (see sections 4.3 and 4.4)_. _
The starting dose of obeticholic acid is 5 mg once daily for the first
6 months.
Limited data is available on Ocaliva as monotherapy.
After the first 6 months, for patients who have not achieved an
adequate reduction in alkaline phosphatase
(ALP) and/or total bilirubin and who are tolerating obeticholic acid,
increase to a maximum dose of
10 mg once daily.

Management strategies include the addition of bile acid binding resins
or antihistamines.
