Landiolol: uses, dosing, side effects & brands

The most common adverse reaction (9.9%) is hypotension ( 6.1 ). To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact AOP Orphan Pharmaceuticals at [email protected] or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, the adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. The safety of RAPIBLYK was evaluated in 19 placebo-controlled clinical trials involving 1,761 adult patients (in a variety of clinical in-patient settings) with supraventricular tachycardia or at high risk for supraventricular tachycardia. The most common adverse reaction is hypotension, which occurred in 9.9% of patients receiving RAPIBLYK vs. 1% in those receiving placebo [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. In a single-arm, unblinded clinical trial in 60 pediatric patients who received RAPIBLYK, the most common adverse reaction was hypotension, which occurred in 10% of patients aged birth to <18 years receiving RAPIBLYK [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. Hypotension was also the most common adverse reaction leading to treatment discontinuation.

RAPIBLYK is contraindicated in patients with: Severe sinus bradycardia, sick sinus syndrome, heart block greater than first degree [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . Decompensated heart failure [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] . Cardiogenic shock: May precipitate further cardiovascular collapse and cause cardiac arrest. Pulmonary hypertension: May precipitate cardiorespiratory decompensation. Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, to landiolol or any of the inactive ingredients 5.3 Severe sinus bradycardia ( 4 ) Sick sinus syndrome ( 4 ) Heart block greater than first degree ( 4 ) Decompensated heart failure ( 4 ) Cardiogenic shock ( 4 ) Pulmonary hypertension ( 4 ) Known hypersensitivity to landiolol ( 4 )

Negative Inotropes and Chronotropes: Avoid ( 7.1 ) Sympathomimetics, Positive Inotropes and Vasoconstrictors: Avoid ( 7.2 ) Catecholamine Depleting Drugs: Monitor blood pressure and heart rate ( 7.3 ). 7.1 Negative Inotropes and Chronotropes Avoid concomitant use of RAPIBLYK with negative inotropes and medications that slow heart rate or cardiac conduction. Beta-blockers, like RAPIBLYK, can cause depression of myocardial contractility and increase the risk of bradycardia or heart block. Concomitant use of RAPIBLYK with negative inotropes or chronotropes may augment these effects [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )( 5.3 )] . 7.2 Sympathomimetics, Positive Inotropes and Vasoconstrictors Beta adrenergic agonists will antagonize the effects of RAPIBLYK and may attenuate the heart rate lowering effects of RAPIBLYK. Positive inotropes and vasoconstrictors may attenuate the heart rate and blood pressure lowering effects of RAPIBLYK. 7.3 Catecholamine Depleting Drugs Observe patients treated with RAPIBLYK plus a catecholamine depletor (e.g., reserpine, monoamine oxidase inhibitors) for hypotension or marked bradycardia, which may cause vertigo, syncope, or postural hypotension. Catecholamine depleting drugs may have an additive effect when given with beta-blockers, which may increase the risk of hypotension or marked bradycardia related vertigo, syncope, or postural hypotension [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] .
