About This Medication
11 DESCRIPTION YUPELRI is a sterile, clear, colorless, aqueous solution of revefenacin. Revefenacin, the active component of YUPELRI, is an anticholinergic. The chemical name for revefenacin is 1-(2-{4-[(4-carbamoylpiperidin-1-yl)methyl]- N -methylbenzamido}ethyl)piperidin-4-yl N -({1,1’-biphenyl}-2-yl)carbamate; its structural formula is: Revefenacin has a molecular weight of 597.76 and its empirical formula is C 35 H 43 N 5 O 4 . Revefenacin is a white to off-white crystalline powder and is slightly soluble in water. YUPELRI is supplied as 3 mL of revefenacin solution packaged in a unit-dose low-density polyethylene vial overwrapped in a foil pouch. Each vial contains 175 mcg of revefenacin in 3 mL of an isotonic, sterile aqueous solution containing citric acid, sodium chloride, sodium citrate, and water for injection at pH 5.0. Hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide may be used to adjust the pH. YUPELRI does not require dilution prior to administration by nebulization. Like all other nebulized treatments, the amount delivered to the lungs will depend on patient factors, the nebulization system used, and compressor performance. Using the PARI LC ® Sprint nebulizer connected to a PARI Trek ® S compressor under in vitro conditions, the mean delivered dose from the mouthpiece was approximately 62 mcg (35% of label claim), at a mean flow rate of 4 LPM. The mean nebulization time was 8 minutes. YUPELRI should only be administered via a standard jet nebulizer connected to an air compressor with an adequate airflow, and equipped with a mouthpiece.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Do not initiate YUPELRI in acutely deteriorating COPD or to treat acute symptoms. ( 5.1 ) • If paradoxical bronchospasm occurs, discontinue YUPELRI and institute alternative therapy. ( 5.2 ) • Worsening of narrow-angle glaucoma may occur. Use with caution in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma and instruct patients to contact a healthcare provider immediately if symptoms occur. ( 5.3 ) • Worsening of urinary retention may occur. Use with caution in patients with prostatic hyperplasia or bladder-neck obstruction and instruct patients to contact a healthcare provider immediately if symptoms occur. ( 5.4 ) • Immediate hypersensitivity reactions may occur. If such a reaction occurs, therapy with YUPELRI should be stopped at once and alternative treatments should be considered. ( 5.5 ) 5.1 Deterioration of Disease and Acute Episodes YUPELRI should not be initiated in patients during acutely deteriorating or potentially life-threatening episodes of COPD. YUPELRI has not been studied in subjects with acutely deteriorating COPD. The initiation of YUPELRI in this setting is not appropriate. YUPELRI is intended as a once-daily maintenance treatment for COPD and should not be used for relief of acute symptoms, i.e. as rescue therapy for the treatment of acute episodes of bronchospasm, and extra doses should not be used for that purpose. Acute symptoms should be treated with an inhaled, short-acting beta 2 -agonist. COPD may deteriorate acutely over a period of hours or chronically over several days or longer. If YUPELRI no longer controls symptoms of bronchoconstriction, the patient's inhaled, short-acting beta 2 -agonist becomes less effective, or the patient needs more inhalations of a short-acting beta 2 -agonist than usual, these may be markers of deterioration of disease. In this setting, a re-evaluation of the patient and the COPD treatment regimen should be undertaken at once. Increasing the daily dose of YUPELRI beyond the recommended dose is not appropriate in this situation. 5.2 Paradoxical Bronchospasm As with other inhaled medicines, YUPELRI can produce paradoxical bronchospasm that may be life-threatening. If paradoxical bronchospasm occurs following dosing with YUPELRI, it should be treated immediately with an inhaled, short-acting bronchodilator; YUPELRI should be discontinued immediately and alternative therapy should be instituted. 5.3 Worsening of Narrow-Angle Glaucoma YUPELRI should be used with caution in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma. Prescribers and patients should be alert for signs and symptoms of acute narrow-angle glaucoma (e.g. eye pain or discomfort, blurred vision, visual halos or colored images in association with red eyes from conjunctival congestion and corneal edema). Instruct patients to consult a physician immediately if any of these signs or symptoms develops. 5.4 Worsening of Urinary Retention YUPELRI should be used with caution in patients with urinary retention. Prescribers and patients should be alert for signs and symptoms of urinary retention (e.g. difficulty passing urine, painful urination), especially in patients with prostatic hyperplasia or bladder-neck obstruction. Instruct patients to consult a healthcare provider immediately if any of these signs or symptoms develops. 5.5 Immediate Hypersensitivity Reactions Immediate hypersensitivity reactions may occur after administration of YUPELRI. If such a reaction occurs, therapy with YUPELRI should be stopped at once and alternative treatments should be considered.
