5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Risk of Adverse Reactions or Reduced Therapeutic Effect Due to Drug Interactions: The concomitant use of PREVYMIS with certain drugs may result in potentially significant drug interactions, some of which may lead to adverse reactions (PREVYMIS or concomitant drugs) or reduced therapeutic effect of PREVYMIS or the concomitant drug. Consult the full prescribing information for contraindications and dosage recommendations for concomitant drugs. ( 4 , 5.1 , 7.1 , 7.2 , 7.3 ) Risks Associated with Hydroxypropyl Betadex Excipient in Intravenous Formulation: Intravenous formulation of PREVYMIS contains the excipient hydroxypropyl betadex. PREVYMIS injection should be used only in patients unable to take oral therapy. If possible, intravenous administration should not exceed 4 weeks. In patients with renal impairment, accumulation of hydroxypropyl betadex may occur. Animal studies have shown the potential for hydroxypropyl betadex to cause ototoxicity. ( 5.2 , 8.6 , 13.2 ) 5.1 Risk of Adverse Reactions or Reduced Therapeutic Effect Due to Drug Interactions The concomitant use of PREVYMIS and certain drugs may result in potentially significant drug interactions, some of which may lead to adverse reactions (PREVYMIS or concomitant drugs) or reduced therapeutic effect of PREVYMIS or the concomitant drug [see Contraindications (4) and Drug Interactions (7.1 , 7.2 , 7.3) ] . See Table 11 for steps to prevent or manage these possible or known significant drug interactions, including dosing recommendations. Consider the potential for drug interactions prior to and during PREVYMIS therapy; review concomitant medications during PREVYMIS therapy; and monitor for adverse reactions associated with PREVYMIS and concomitant medications. 5.2 Risks Associated with Hydroxypropyl Betadex Excipient in Intravenous Formulation Intravenous formulation of PREVYMIS contains the excipient hydroxypropyl betadex. PREVYMIS injection should be used only in patients unable to take oral therapy and patients should be switched to oral PREVYMIS as soon as they are able to take oral medications. If possible, intravenous administration should not exceed 4 weeks [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ]. In patients with renal impairment, accumulation of hydroxypropyl betadex may occur. In adult patients with CLcr less than 50 mL/min and in pediatric patients with a similar degree of renal impairment (based on age-appropriate assessment of renal function) receiving PREVYMIS injection, closely monitor serum creatinine levels [see Dosage and Administration (2.7) and Use in Specific Populations (8.6) ] . Animal studies have shown the potential for hydroxypropyl betadex to cause ototoxicity [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.2) ]. The active ingredient, letermovir, is not known to be associated with ototoxicity.
موانع الاستعمال
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS PREVYMIS is contraindicated in patients receiving pimozide or ergot alkaloids: Pimozide: Concomitant administration of PREVYMIS in patients receiving pimozide may result in increased concentrations of pimozide due to inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) by letermovir, which may lead to QT prolongation and torsades de pointes [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Drug Interactions (7.2 , 7.3) ] . Ergot alkaloids: Concomitant administration of PREVYMIS in patients receiving ergot alkaloids may result in increased concentrations of ergot alkaloids (ergotamine and dihydroergotamine) due to inhibition of CYP3A by letermovir, which may lead to ergotism [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Drug Interactions (7.2 , 7.3) ] . PREVYMIS is contraindicated with pitavastatin and simvastatin when co-administered with cyclosporine. Concomitant administration of PREVYMIS in combination with cyclosporine may result in significantly increased pitavastatin or simvastatin concentrations, which may lead to myopathy or rhabdomyolysis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Drug Interactions (7.2 , 7.3) ] . PREVYMIS is contraindicated with: Pimozide. ( 4 ) Ergot Alkaloids. ( 4 ) Pitavastatin and simvastatin when co-administered with cyclosporine. ( 4 )
