5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Risks to Patients with Serious Cardiac Disease: Avoid use in patients with known structural cardiac abnormalities, cardiomyopathy, serious cardiac arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, or other serious cardiac disease ( 5.2 ) Increased Blood Pressure and Heart Rate: Monitor blood pressure and pulse ( 5.3 ) Psychiatric Adverse Reactions: Prior to initiating XELSTRYM, screen patients for risk factors for developing a manic episode. If new psychotic or manic symptoms occur, consider discontinuing XELSTRYM ( 5.4 ) Long-Term Suppression of Growth in Pediatric Patients: Closely monitor growth (height and weight) in pediatric patients. Pediatric patients not growing or gaining height or weight as expected may need to have their treatment interrupted ( 5.5 ) Peripheral Vasculopathy, including Raynaud’s phenomenon: Careful observation for digital changes is necessary during XELSTRYM treatment. Further clinical evaluation (e.g., rheumatology referral) may be appropriate for patients who develop signs or symptoms of peripheral vasculopathy ( 5.6 ) Serotonin Syndrome: Increased risk when co-administered with serotonergic agents (e.g., SSRIs, SNRIs, triptans), but also during overdosage situations. If it occurs, discontinue XELSTRYM and initiate supportive treatment ( 5.7 , 10 ) Contact Sensitization: Use of XELSTRYM may lead to contact sensitization. Discontinue XELSTRYM if contact sensitization is suspected ( 5.8 ) Application Site Reactions: During wear time or immediately after removal of XELSTRYM, local skin reactions may occur. Select a different application site each day to limit the occurrence of skin reactions ( 5.9 ) External Heat: Avoid exposing XELSTRYM to external heat sources during wear because both the rate and extent of absorption are increased ( 5.10 ) Motor and Verbal Tics, and Worsening of Tourette's Syndrome: Before initiating XELSTRYM, assess the family history and clinically evaluate patients for tics or Tourette’s syndrome. Regularly monitor patients for the emergence or worsening of tics or Tourette’s syndrome. Discontinue treatment if clinically appropriate ( 5.11 ) 5.1 Abuse, Misuse, and Addiction XELSTRYM has a high potential for abuse and misuse. The use of XELSTRYM exposes individuals to the risks of abuse and misuse, which can lead to the development of a substance use disorder, including addiction. XELSTRYM can be diverted for non-medical use into illicit channels or distribution [see Drug Abuse and Dependence (9.2) ] . Misuse and abuse of CNS stimulants, including XELSTRYM, can result in overdose and death [see Overdosage (10) ] , and this risk is increased with higher doses or unapproved methods of administration, such as snorting or injection. Before prescribing XELSTRYM, assess each patient’s risk for abuse, misuse, and addiction. Educate patients and their families about these risks and proper disposal of any unused drug. Advise patients to store XELSTRYM in a safe place, preferably locked, and instruct patients to not give XELSTRYM to anyone else. Throughout XELSTRYM treatment, reassess each patient’s risk of abuse, misuse, and addiction and frequently monitor for signs and symptoms of abuse, misuse, and addiction. 5.2 Risks to Patients with Serious Cardiac Disease Sudden death has been reported in patients with structural cardiac abnormalities or other serious cardiac disease who were treated with CNS stimulants at the recommended ADHD dosage. Avoid XELSTRYM use in patients with known structural cardiac abnormalities, cardiomyopathy, serious cardiac arrhythmia, coronary artery disease, or other serious cardiac disease. 5.3 Increased Blood Pressure and Heart Rate CNS stimulants cause an increase in blood pressure (mean increase about 2 to 4 mm Hg) and heart rate (mean increase about 3 to 6 bpm). Monitor all XELSTRYM-treated patients for potential tachycardia and hypertension. 5.4 Psychiatric Adverse Reactions Exacerbation of Pre-existing Psychosis CNS stimulants may exacerbate symptoms of behavior disturbance and thought disorder in patients with a pre-existing psychotic disorder. Induction of a Manic Episode in Patients with Bipolar Disorder CNS stimulants may induce a manic or mixed episode in patients. Prior to initiating XELSTRYM treatment, screen patients for risk factors for developing a manic episode (e.g., comorbid or history of depressive symptoms or a family history of suicide, bipolar disorder, and depression). New Psychotic or Manic Symptoms CNS stimulants, at the recommended dosage, may cause psychotic or manic symptoms (e.g., hallucinations, delusional thinking, or mania) in patients without a prior history of psychotic illness or mania. In a pooled analysis of multiple short-term, placebo-controlled studies of CNS stimulants, psychotic or manic symptoms occurred in approximately 0.1% of CNS stimulant-treated patients compared to 0% of placebo-treated patients. If such symptoms occur, consider discontinuing XELSTRYM. 5.5 Long-Term Suppression of Growth in Pediatric Patients XELSTRYM is not approved for use and is not recommended in pediatric patients below 6 years of age [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ]. CNS stimulants have been associated with weight loss and slowing of growth rate in pediatric patients. Closely monitor growth (weight and height) in XELSTRYM-treated pediatric patients treated with CNS stimulants, including XELSTRYM. In a 7-week trial with a dose-optimization phase and a placebo-controlled phase of XELSTRYM in pediatric patients 6 to 17 years old with ADHD, there was a mean decrease in weight while taking XELSTRYM. Additionally, in studies of another CNS stimulant, there was slowing of the increase in height [see ADVERSE REACTIONS (6.1) ] . Pediatric patients not growing or gaining height or weight as expected may need to have their treatment interrupted. XELSTRYM is not approved for use in pediatric patients below 6 years of age [see USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS (8.4) ] . 5.6 Peripheral Vasculopathy, including Raynaud’s Phenomenon CNS stimulants, including XELSTRYM, used to treat ADHD are associated with peripheral vasculopathy, including Raynaud's phenomenon. Signs and symptoms are usually intermittent and mild; however, sequelae have included digital ulceration and/or soft tissue breakdown. Effects of peripheral vasculopathy, including Raynaud's phenomenon, were observed in post-marketing reports and at the therapeutic dosage of CNS stimulants in all age groups throughout the course of treatment. Signs and symptoms generally improved after dosage reduction or discontinuation of the CNS stimulant. Careful observation for digital changes is necessary during XELSTRYM treatment. Further clinical evaluation (e.g., rheumatology referral) may be appropriate for XELSTRYM-treated patients who develop signs or symptoms of peripheral vasculopathy. 5.7 Serotonin Syndrome Serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening reaction, may occur when amphetamines are used in combination with other drugs that affect the serotonergic neurotransmitter systems such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), triptans, tricyclic antidepressants, fentanyl, lithium, tramadol, tryptophan, buspirone, and St. John's Wort [see DRUG INTERACTIONS (7.1) ] . The co-administration with cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) inhibitors may also increase the risk with increased exposure to XELSTRYM. In these situations, consider an alternative non-serotonergic drug or an alternative drug that does not inhibit CYP2D6 [see DRUG INTERACTIONS (7.1) ] . Serotonin syndrome symptoms may include mental status changes (e.g., agitation, hallucinations, delirium, and coma), autonomic instability (e.g., tachycardia, labile blood pressure, dizziness, diaphoresis, flushing, hyperthermia), neuromuscular symptoms (e.g., tremor, rigidity, myoclonus, hyperreflexia, incoordination), seizures, and/or gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea). Concomitant use of XELSTRYM with MAOI drugs is contraindicated [see CONTRAINDICATIONS (4) ] . Discontinue treatment with XELSTRYM and any concomitant serotonergic agents immediately if symptoms of serotonin syndrome occur, and initiate supportive symptomatic treatment. If concomitant use of XELSTRYM with other serotonergic drugs or CYP2D6 inhibitors is clinically warranted, initiate XELSTRYM with lower doses, monitoring patients for the emergence of serotonin syndrome during drug initiation or titration, and inform patients of the increased risk for serotonin syndrome. 5.8 Contact Sensitization Use of XELSTRYM may lead to contact sensitization (allergic contact dermatitis). Erythema is commonly seen with use of XELSTRYM and is not by itself an indication of sensitization. However, contact sensitization should be suspected if erythema is accompanied by evidence of a more intense local reaction (edema, papules, vesicles) that does not significantly improve within 48 hours or spreads beyond the application site. Confirmation of a diagnosis of contact sensitization may require further diagnostic testing [see CONTRAINDICATION (4) ] . Manifestations of systemic sensitization may include a flare-up of previous dermatitis or of prior positive patch-test sites, or generalized skin eruptions in previously unaffected skin. Other systemic reactions may include headache, fever, malaise, arthralgia, diarrhea, or vomiting. No cases of systemic sensitization have been observed in clinical trials of XELSTRYM. Patients who develop contact sensitization to XELSTRYM and require oral treatment with amphetamine should be initiated on oral medication under close medical supervision. Discontinue XELSTRYM if contact sensitization is suspected. It is possible that some patients sensitized to amphetamine by exposure to XELSTRYM may not be able to take amphetamine in any form. 5.9 Application Site Reactions Local skin reactions, such as pain, pruritus, burning sensation, erythema, discomfort, edema, and/or swelling were reported during the wear time or immediately after removal of XELSTRYM [see ADVERSE REACTIONS (6.1) ] . Patients who experienced discomfort and/or pain during the wear time reported resolution within 2 to 4 hours after application. The potential for application site reactions and increased skin irritation, discomfort or pain may occur with XELSTRYM if the same application site is used repeatedly. Patients should select a different application site each day to minimize skin reactions. 5.10 Use of External Heat When heat is applied to XELSTRYM after application, both the rate and extent of absorption are increased. After application of a heating pad, amphetamine exposure (AUC 0-9h ) was about 1.5-times greater than without heating pad application [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY (12.3) ]. Advise patients to avoid exposing XELSTRYM to direct external heat sources such as hair dryers, heating pads, electric blankets, heated water beds, etc., while wearing XELSTRYM. 5.11 Motor and Verbal Tics, and Worsening of Tourette’s Syndrome CNS stimulants, including amphetamine, have been associated with the onset or exacerbation of motor and verbal tics. Worsening of Tourette’s syndrome has also been reported [see ADVERSE REACTIONS (6.2) ] . Before initiating XELSTRYM, assess the family history and clinically evaluate patients for tics or Tourette’s syndrome. Regularly monitor XELSTRYM-treated patients for the emergence or worsening of tics or Tourette’s syndrome, and discontinue treatment if clinically appropriate.
