Sarecycline: uses, dosing, side effects & brands

Most common adverse reaction (incidence ≥ 1%) is nausea. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Almirall at 1-866-665-2782 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, 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 practice. A total of 1064 subjects and 1069 subjects with moderate to severe acne vulgaris were treated with SEYSARA and placebo, respectively, for 12 weeks in 3 controlled clinical trials. The only adverse drug reaction that was reported in at least 1% of subjects was nausea, SEYSARA (3.1%) versus placebo (2.0%). The following additional adverse drug reactions occurred in less than 1% of female SEYSARA subjects: vulvovaginal mycotic infection (0.8%) and vulvovaginal candidiasis (0.6%).

SEYSARA is contraindicated in persons who have shown hypersensitivity to any of the tetracyclines. SEYSARA is contraindicated in persons who have shown hypersensitivity to any of the tetracyclines. ( 4 )

Oral retinoids: avoid coadministration. ( 5.4 , 7.1 ) Antacids and iron preparations: separate dosing of SEYSARA. ( 7.1 ) Penicillin: avoid coadministration. ( 7.2 ) Anticoagulants: decrease anticoagulant dosage as appropriate. ( 7.2 ) P-glycoprotein substrates: monitor for toxicities of drugs that may require dosage reduction. ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on SEYSARA Oral Retinoids Tetracyclines may cause increased intracranial pressure as do oral retinoids, including isotretinoin and acitretin [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] . Avoid coadministration of SEYSARA with oral retinoids. Antacids and Iron Preparations Coadministration with antacids containing aluminum, calcium or magnesium, bismuth subsalicylate, and iron-containing preparations may impair absorption of SEYSARA, similar to other tetracyclines, which may decrease its efficacy. Separate dosing of SEYSARA from antacids containing aluminum, calcium or magnesium, bismuth subsalicylate, and iron-containing preparations. 7.2 Effect of SEYSARA on Other Drugs Penicillin Similar to other tetracyclines, SEYSARA may interfere with the bactericidal action of penicillin. Avoid coadministration of SEYSARA with penicillin. Anticoagulants Similar to other tetracyclines, SEYSARA may depress plasma prothrombin activity, which may increase the risk of bleeding in patients who are on anticoagulant therapy. Decrease anticoagulant dosage when coadministered with SEYSARA as appropriate. P-Glycoprotein (P-gp) Substrates Concomitant use of SEYSARA may increase concentrations of concomitantly administered P-gp substrates (e.g. digoxin). Monitor for toxicities of drugs that are P-gp substrates and may require dosage reduction when given concurrently with SEYSARA [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Oral Hormonal Contraceptives There is no clinically significant effect of SEYSARA on the efficacy of oral contraceptives containing ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone acetate [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .
