Priming Before Use Priming BREZTRI AEROSPHERE is essential to ensure appropriate drug content in each actuation. Prime BREZTRI AEROSPHERE before using for the first time. Prime BREZTRI AEROSPHERE by releasing 4 sprays into the air away from the face, shaking well before each spray. Re-prime BREZTRI AEROSPHERE if the inhaler has not been used for more than 7 days, is dropped, or after weekly rinsing. Prime BREZTRI AEROSPHERE by releasing 2 sprays into the air away from the face, shaking well before each spray. Dose counter BREZTRI AEROSPHERE canister has an attached dose indicator (also known as puff indicator), which indicates how many…

The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling. • Serious asthma-related events – hospitalizations, intubations, death [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] • Oropharyngeal candidiasis infection [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] • Increased risk of pneumonia in COPD [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] • Immunosuppression and risk of infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] • Hypercorticism and adrenal suppression [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ] • Paradoxical bronchospasm [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10) ] • Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.11) ] • Cardiovascular effects [see Warnings and Precautions (5.12) ] • Reduction in bone mineral density [see Warnings and Precautions (5.13) ] • Growth effects in pediatric patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.14) ] • Worsening of narrow-angle glaucoma and cataracts [see Warnings and Precautions (5.15) ] • Worsening of urinary retention [see Warnings and Precautions (5.16) ] Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. • COPD: Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥…

BREZTRI AEROSPHERE is contraindicated in the following conditions: • Primary treatment of status asthmaticus or other acute episodes of COPD or asthma where intensive measures are required [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . • Hypersensitivity to budesonide, glycopyrrolate, formoterol, or any of the excipients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.11) and Description (11) ] . • Primary treatment of status asthmaticus or other acute episodes of asthma or COPD requiring intensive measures. ( 4 ) • Hypersensitivity to budesonide, glycopyrrolate, formoterol fumarate, or to any of the excipients. ( 4 )

BREZTRI AEROSPHERE contains budesonide, glycopyrrolate, and formoterol fumarate; therefore, the risks associated with overdosage for the individual components described below apply to BREZTRI AEROSPHERE. Treatment of overdosage consists of discontinuation of BREZTRI AEROSPHERE together with institution of appropriate symptomatic and/or supportive therapy. The judicious use of a cardioselective beta-receptor blocker may be considered, bearing in mind that such medication can produce bronchospasm. Cardiac monitoring is recommended in case of overdosage. Budesonide If used at excessive doses for prolonged periods, systemic corticosteroid effects, such as hypercorticism may occur [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ] . Glycopyrrolate High doses of glycopyrrolate, a component of BREZTRI AEROSPHERE, may lead to anticholinergic signs and symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision, increased intraocular pressure (causing pain, vision disturbances or reddening of the eye), obstipation, or difficulties in voiding. Formoterol Fumarate An overdose of formoterol fumarate would likely lead to an exaggeration of effects that are typical for beta 2 -agonists: seizures, angina, hypertension, hypotension, tachycardia, atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias, nervousness, headache, tremor, palpitations, muscle cramps, nausea, dizziness, sleep disturbances,…

No formal drug interaction studies have been performed with BREZTRI AEROSPHERE. • Strong cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors (e.g. ritonavir): Use with caution. May cause systemic corticosteroid effects. ( 7.1 ) • Other adrenergic drugs may potentiate effect: Use with caution. ( 7.2 ) • Diuretics, xanthine derivatives or steroids may potentiate hypokalemia or ECG changes. Use with caution. ( 7.3 , 7.4 ) • Monoamine oxidase inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants: Use with extreme caution. May potentiate effect of formoterol fumarate on cardiovascular system. ( 7.5 ) • Beta-blockers: Use with caution. May block bronchodilatory effects of beta-agonists and produce severe bronchospasm. ( 7.6 ) • Anticholinergics: May interact additively with concomitantly used anticholinergic medications. Avoid administration of BREZTRI AEROSPHERE with other anticholinergic-containing drugs. ( 7.7 ) 7.1 Inhibitors of Cytochrome P450 3A4 The main route of metabolism of corticosteroids, including budesonide, a component of BREZTRI AEROSPHERE, is via cytochrome P450 isoenzyme 3A4 (CYP3A4). After oral administration of ketoconazole, a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4, the mean plasma concentration of orally administered budesonide increased. Concomitant administration of a CYP3A4 inhibitor may inhibit the metabolism of, and increase the systemic exposure to, budesonide. Caution should be exercised when considering the coadministration of BREZTRI AEROSPHERE with long-term ketoconazole and other known strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ritonavir, atazanavir, clarithromycin, indinavir, itraconazole, nefazodone, nelfinavir, saquinavir, telithromycin) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9) ] . 7.2 Adrenergic Drugs If additional adrenergic drugs are to be administered by any route, they should be used with caution because the sympathetic effects of formoterol, a component of BREZTRI AEROSPHERE, may be potentiated [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . 7.3 Xanthine Derivatives, Steroids, or Diuretics Concomitant treatment with xanthine derivatives, steroids, or diuretics may potentiate the hypokalemic effect of beta 2 -adrenergic agonists such as formoterol, a component of BREZTRI AEROSPHERE. 7.4 Non-Potassium Sparing Diuretics The hypokalemia and/or ECG changes that may result from the administration of non-potassium sparing diuretics (such as loop or thiazide diuretics) can be acutely worsened by beta 2 -agonists, especially when the recommended dose of the beta 2 -agonist is exceeded. 7.5 Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors, Tricyclic Antidepressants, QTc Prolonging Drugs BREZTRI AEROSPHERE, as with other beta 2 -agonists, should be administered with extreme caution to patients being treated with monoamine oxidase inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants or other drugs known to prolong the QTc interval because the action of adrenergic agonists on the cardiovascular system may be potentiated by these agents. Drugs that are known to prolong the QTc interval may be associated with an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias. 7.6 Beta-adrenergic Receptor Blocking Agents Beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists (beta-blockers) and BREZTRI AEROSPHERE may interfere with the effect of each other when administered concurrently. Beta-blockers not only block the therapeutic effects of beta 2 -agonists, but may produce severe bronchospasm in COPD and asthma patients. Therefore, patients with COPD or asthma should not normally be treated with beta-blockers. However, under certain circumstances, e.g., as prophylaxis after myocardial infarction, there may be no acceptable alternatives to the use of beta-blockers in patients with COPD or asthma. In this setting, cardioselective beta-blockers could be considered, although they should be administered with caution. 7.7 Anticholinergics There is a potential for an additive interaction with concomitantly used anticholinergic medications. Therefore, avoid coadministration of BREZTRI AEROSPHERE with other anticholinergic-containing drugs as this may lead to an increase in anticholinergic adverse effects [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9 , 5.10 ) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. 7.7 Anticholinergics There is a potential for an additive interaction with concomitantly used anticholinergic medications. Therefore, avoid coadministration of BREZTRI AEROSPHERE with other anticholinergic-containing drugs as this may lead to an increase in anticholinergic adverse effects [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9 , 5.10 ) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ].
