antibacterial drug prophylaxis.
* Vaccination reduces, but does not eliminate, the risk of meningococcal infections.
* Closely monitor patients for early signs and symptoms of meningococcal infection and evaluate
patients immediately if infection is suspected.
* If ULTOMIRIS therapy is administered to patients with active systemic infections, monitor closely for
signs and symptoms of worsening infection.
*In clinical studies, 59 patients with PNH were treated with ULTOMIRIS less than 2 weeks after
meningococcal vaccination. All of these patients received antibiotics for prophylaxis of meningococcal
infection until at least 2 weeks after meningococcal vaccination. The benefits and risks of antibiotic
prophylaxis for prevention of meningococcal infections in patients receiving ULTOMIRIS have not been
established.
* In PNH clinical studies, 3 out of 261 PNH patients developed serious meningococcal infections/sepsis
while receiving treatment with ULTOMIRIS; all 3 had been vaccinated. These 3 patients recovered while
continuing treatment with ULTOMIRIS.

|mechAction= Revefenacin is a bronchodilator taken through inhalation that is a muscarinic antagonist with a long-lasting bronchodilation activity. Through studies and monitoring, it has been found to have a high affinity and it behaves as a competitive antagonist to the five muscarinic cholinergic receptors. Revefenacin is shown to dissociate slower from the receptor M3 compared to the receptor M2. That shows a kinetic selectivity for this subtype of receptors. It produces a suppressive action of the [[acetocholine]] evoked calcium mobilization and contractile responses in the airway tissue. Revefenacin is a long-lasting muscarinic antagonist, so it can only be administered one dose daily. The activity of Revefenacin produces a long-lasting protection against the [[bronchoconstrictor]] response acetylcholine and [[methacholine]].

Warnings

WARNING: Serious Case of Paradoxical Bronchospasm
See full prescribing information for complete Boxed Warning.
Life-threatening paradoxical bronchospasm
  • Contact doctor immediately if you are experiencing shortness of breath, severe cough, or wheezing after taking a dose of Revefenacin
  • Treat immediately with “inhaled, short-acting bronchodilator”
  • Should not be administered to patients with acutely deteriorating COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
Deterioration of Disease and Acute Episodes
  • Revefenacin should not be given to patients during an acutely deteriorating or potentially life-threatening episode of COPD
  • Revefenacin is a one dose daily medication to treat patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and it should not be used as a bronchodilator to relieve acute symptoms. An extra dose should not be administered at any given time unless a doctor prescribes it. Instead, acute symptoms should be relieved with "an inhaled, short-acting beta2-agonist."
  • If the beta2-agonist and the daily-dose of Revefenacin are becoming increasingly less effective, patients should be re-evaluated as it may be a sign of COPD deteriorating. Patients should talk to their medical examiner to determine the next steps.

Worsening of Narrow-Angle Glaucoma

  • If patients have narrow-angle glaucoma, they should be closely monitored while on treatment with Revefenacin.
  • Some signs and symptoms of worsening of narrow-angle glaucoma include eye pain/ discomfort of the eye, blurry vision, visual halos, or "colored images in association with red eyes from conjunctival congestion and corneal edema"
  • If these symptoms arise, patients should immediately contact their healthcare provider.

Worsening of Urinary Retention

  • Patients with urinary retention should be monitored carefully while being treated with Revefenacin.
  • Signs and symptoms patients, prescribers, and doctors should watch out for include having difficulty passing urine and/or painful urination. This should be monitored extremely carefully and thoroughly in patients with prostatic hyperplasia or bladder-neck obstruction.
  • If these signs and symptoms show up, patients are heavily advised to call their doctor.

Immediate Hypersensitivity Reactions

  • Patients may be allergic or sensitive to some of the ingredients, and if hypersensitivity arises, their treatment with Revefenacin should be discontinued immediately.
  • Patients should consult their doctors to consider alternative treatments.

Adverse Reactions

Clinical Trials Experience

  • Some Adverse Reactions include cough,nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infection, headache, and back pain
  • These reactions were present in at least 2% of patients in the clinical trials, and they were much more common that placebo reactions.

If there is a suspicion surrounding the adverse reactions, call Mylan at 1-877-446-3679 (1-877-4-INFO-RX) or FDA at 1-800­ FDA-1088 or visit www.fda.gov/medwatch.

Mechanism of Action

Revefenacin is a bronchodilator taken through inhalation that is a muscarinic antagonist with a long-lasting bronchodilation activity. Through studies and monitoring, it has been found to have a high affinity and it behaves as a competitive antagonist to the five muscarinic cholinergic receptors. Revefenacin is shown to dissociate slower from the receptor M3 compared to the receptor M2. That shows a kinetic selectivity for this subtype of receptors. It produces a suppressive action of the acetocholine evoked calcium mobilization and contractile responses in the airway tissue. Revefenacin is a long-lasting muscarinic antagonist, so it can only be administered one dose daily. The activity of Revefenacin produces a long-lasting protection against the bronchoconstrictor response acetylcholine and methacholine.
