How sebetralstat is dosed

From the FDA label for Ekterly (application NDA219301). Other sebetralstat products — different forms, different strengths — are dosed differently. Follow the label for the one you were prescribed.

Recommended Dosage : one dose of 600 mg (2 tablets) taken orally at the earliest recognition of an HAE attack. ( 2.1 ) A second dose of 600 mg (2 tablets) may be taken 3 hours after the first dose if response is inadequate, or if symptoms worsen or recur. ( 2.1 ) Maximum Recommended Dosage: 1,200 mg in any 24-hour period. ( 2.1 ) See full prescribing information for dosage modification for concomitant use with CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers. ( 2.2 ) See full prescribing information for recommended dosage for patients with hepatic impairment. ( 2.3 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of EKTERLY is one dose of 600 mg (two tablets) orally at the earliest recognition of an acute HAE attack. A second dose of 600 mg (two tablets) may be taken at least 3 hours after the first dose if response is inadequate, or if symptoms worsen or recur. Maximum recommended dosage is 1,200 mg (four tablets) in any 24-hour period. 2.2 Dosage Modification for CYP3A4 Inhibitors and Inducers Refer to Table 1 for dosage modification of EKTERLY when used concomitantly with CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers. Table 1: Dosage Modification of EKTERLY for Concomitant use with CYP3A4 Inhibitors and Inducers Dosage Modification for Concomitant use of EKTERLY with CYP3A4 Inhibitors Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors Avoid concomitant use with EKTERLY.

Sebetralstat side effects

The most common adverse reaction (incidence ≥2%) is headache. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact KalVista Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1-855-258-4782 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. The safety of EKTERLY is based on data from a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, three-way, crossover clinical trial (KONFIDENT) [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . In KONFIDENT, a total of 110 patients aged 12 years and older with HAE treated 264 attacks. In the safety population, 93 patients received EKTERLY 600 mg, 86 patients received EKTERLY 300 mg, and 83 patients received placebo. While EKTERLY 300 mg was included in KONFIDENT, the safety data is based on the recommended dosage of EKTERLY 600 mg. Table 3 displays adverse reaction(s) with an incidence of ≥2% in the EKTERLY 600 mg treated patients and more common than placebo. Table 3: Adverse Reaction(s) with EKTERLY with Incidence ≥2% and More Common than Placebo in Patients with Hereditary Angioedema (KONFIDENT) a One (1) patient assigned to administer placebo actually received EKTERLY 600 mg.

Sebetralstat drug interactions

Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors : Avoid use with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. In patients taking moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors, take one dose of 300 mg. A second dose of 300 mg may be taken at least 3 hours after the first dose if response is inadequate, or if symptoms worsen or recur. ( 2.2 , 7.1 , 12.3 ) CYP3A4 Inducers : Avoid use with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inducers. ( 2.2 , 7.1 , 12.3 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on EKTERLY Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors Avoid use of EKTERLY with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Sebetralstat is a substrate of CYP3A4. Concomitant use of sebetralstat with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor increases sebetralstat exposure, which may increase the risk of sebetralstat adverse reactions. Moderate and Weak CYP3A4 Inhibitors Reduce dose of EKTERLY to one dose of 300 mg (one tablet) orally at the earliest recognition of an HAE attack when used concomitantly with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors. A second dose of 300 mg (one tablet) may be taken at least 3 hours after the first dose if response is inadequate, or if symptoms worsen or recur [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Sebetralstat is a substrate of CYP3A4. Concomitant use of sebetralstat with a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor increases sebetralstat exposure, which may increase the risk of sebetralstat adverse reactions. No dose modification is recommended when EKTERLY is used concomitantly with a weak CYP3A4 inhibitor [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers Use of EKTERLY with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers is not recommended. Sebetralstat is a substrate of CYP3A4. Concomitant use of sebetralstat with a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducer decreases sebetralstat exposure, which may decrease efficacy. Weak CYP3A4 Inducers No dose modification is recommended when EKTERLY is used concomitantly with weak CYP3A4 inducers [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on EKTERLY Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors Avoid use of EKTERLY with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

What people report to the FDA about sebetralstat

The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 13 reports naming sebetralstat, and the FDA flagged 77% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:

  • hereditary angioedema8 reports
  • insurance issue2 reports
  • stress2 reports
  • allergic reaction to excipient1 reports
  • anaphylactic reaction1 reports
  • brain fog1 reports
  • cardiac failure congestive1 reports
  • chills1 reports

Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean sebetralstat caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label section above.

Frequently asked questions

What is sebetralstat?

The active ingredient of EKTERLY is sebetralstat, a plasma kallikrein inhibitor.

Can you take sebetralstat with other medicines?

It depends on the medicine. We check it against the FDA labels rather than guessing: our interaction checker searches each drug's own label for the other and quotes what it says, naming the section it came from. Run sebetralstat against whatever else you take — and remember that a label not naming a drug is not the same as that combination being safe.

What forms does sebetralstat come in?

Across the brands we track, sebetralstat is currently marketed as tablet, per the FDA's National Drug Code Directory. Each form is dosed differently — follow the label for the exact product you were prescribed.

Is there a generic sebetralstat?

We do not currently list a generic-labelled sebetralstat product. That does not always mean none exists — it means none appears under a generic name in the FDA data we track. Ask your pharmacist.
