cardamyst

For intranasal use only ( 2.1 ). Initial dosage: A dose of 70 mg is administered as two nasal sprays, one spray into each nostril. Each nasal spray device delivers two sprays. The two sprays together contain a total of 70 mg etripamil ( 2.1 ). Repeat dosage (if needed): Should symptoms persist for 10 minutes after administration of CARDAMYST, take a second dose of 70 mg administered as two nasal sprays, one spray into each nostril. Do not exceed 140 mg in a 24-hour period ( 2.1 ). 2.1 Recommended Dosage Administer as soon as possible after PSVT symptom onset. Administer CARDAMYST by the nasal route only. Each CARDAMYST device delivers two sprays for a total of 70 mg. Recommended Dosage: Using one nasal spray device, administer one spray into each nostril for a total initial dose of 70 mg. If symptoms persist after 10 minutes, use the second nasal spray device to administer a second dose of one spray into each nostril (70 mg total). Patients and caregivers should call their healthcare provider or seek emergency medical help if symptoms do not improve within 20 minutes after a second dose. Do not exceed 140 mg in a 24-hour period. See Instructions for Use for proper nasal spray technique. If a full initial dose (i.e., 2 sprays, one in each nostril) is not administered due to device malfunction or misuse, the patient should wait at least 10 minutes before self-administering a…

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Risk of syncope [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Most common adverse reactions (incidence > 5%) are nasal discomfort, nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, throat irritation, and epistaxis ( 6.1 ). To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Milestone Pharmaceuticals USA, INC. at toll-free phone 1-877-207-4764 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 CARDAMYST was evaluated using pooled data from double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trials including NODE-1, NODE-301 Part 1, RAPID, and RAPID Extension. A total of 321 patients were treated with CARDAMYST in randomized controlled studies. In the RAPID and RAPID Extension studies, in which patients had the option of self-administering a second dose of CARDAMYST for a perceived episode of PSVT, the majority of patients (65%) self-administered a second dose of CARDAMYST (2x70mg). In NODE-301 Part 1, RAPID, and RAPID Extension, to assess tolerability, a test dose(s) was given prior to randomization. A small percentage…

CARDAMYST is contraindicated in patients with: Hypersensitivity to CARDAMYST or any of its components. Heart failure – New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II to IV. Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW), Lown-Ganong-Levine (LGL) syndromes, or manifest pre-excitation (delta wave) on a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). Sick sinus syndrome without a permanent pacemaker. Second degree atrioventricular (AV) Mobitz 2 block or higher degree of AV block. Hypersensitivity to CARDAMYST or any of its components ( 4 ). Heart failure - New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II to IV ( 4 ). Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW), Lown-Ganong-Levine (LGL) syndromes, or manifest pre-excitation (delta wave) on a 12-lead ECG ( 4 ). Sick sinus syndrome (except in patients with a permanent pacemaker) ( 4 ) Second degree atrioventricular (AV) Mobitz 2 block or higher degree of AV block ( 4 )

Overdosage is expected to cause peripheral vasodilation with possible symptomatic hypotension and reflex tachycardia. AV block and /or pauses may also occur. Treatment of overdosage should be supportive. Beta-adrenergic stimulation or parenteral administration of calcium solutions may increase calcium ion flux across the slow calcium channel. Clinically significant hypotensive reactions or high degree AV block should be treated with fluid administration or vasopressor agents, or cardiac pacing, respectively. Asystole should be handled by the usual measures including cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It is unknown whether etripamil is dialyzable. However, the structurally related compound, verapamil cannot be removed by hemodialysis.
