Contraindications
Known hypersensitivity to vonoprazan or any components of the formulation.
Concomitant use with rilpivirine-containing products.
Warnings
Gastric Malignancy
-Symptomatic response to therapy does not preclude the presence of gastric malignancy. -Consider additional follow-up and diagnostic testing in patients who have suboptimal response or early symptomatic relapse after completing treatment with vonoprazan. In older patients, also consider endoscopy.
Acute Tubulointerstitial Nephritis -Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis reported. If suspected, discontinue drug and evaluate patients.
Clostridioides difficile-Associated Diarrhea
-Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) reported with use of acid suppressing therapies and nearly all antibacterial agents. -Consider CDAD in all patients with diarrhea that does not improve. [ref] Use shortest duration of therapy appropriate to the condition being treated.
Bone Fracture
-PPI therapy may be associated with increased risk of osteoporosis-related fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine; risk is increased in patients who receive high dosages (multiple daily doses or long-term therapy). -Bone fractures, including osteoporosis-related fracture, also reported with vonoprazan. -Use shortest duration of therapy appropriate to the condition being treated. -Patients with increased risk of osteoporosis-related fracture should be managed according to established guidelines.
Severe Cutaneous Reactions
-Severe cutaneous adverse reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), reported. -Discontinue vonoprazan at first sign or symptom of a severe cutaneous adverse reaction or other sign of hypersensitivity, and consider further evaluation.
Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) Deficiency
-Long-term use of acid-suppressing drugs can lead to malabsorption of vitamin B12 caused by hypo- or achlorhydria. ---Vitamin B12 deficiency reported during postmarketing experience with vonoprazan. -If clinical symptoms consistent with vitamin B12 deficiency observed, consider further workup.
Hypomagnesemia and Mineral Metabolism
-Hypomagnesemia reported during postmarketing experience. Hypomagnesemia may lead to hypocalcemia and/or hypokalemia and may exacerbate underlying hypocalcemia in at-risk patients. -Consider monitoring magnesium levels prior to and during therapy in patients expected to be on prolonged treatment, in patients taking drugs that may have increased toxicity in the presence of hypomagnesemia (e.g., digoxin), or drugs that may cause hypomagnesemia (e.g., diuretics). Treatment of hypomagnesemia may require magnesium replacement and discontinuation of therapy. -Consider monitoring magnesium and calcium levels prior to and during therapy in patients with preexisting risk of hypocalcemia (e.g., hypoparathyroidism). Supplement with magnesium and/or calcium, as necessary. If hypocalcemia is refractory to treatment, consider discontinuing vonoprazan.
Interactions with Diagnostic Investigations for Neuroendocrine Tumors
-Serum chromogranin A (CgA) levels increase secondary to drug-induced decreases in gastric acidity; may cause false positive results in diagnostic investigations for neuroendocrine tumors.
Temporarily discontinue treatment at least 14 days before assessing CgA levels and consider repeating test if initial CgA levels are high.If serial tests are performed (e.g., for monitoring), use the same commercial laboratory for testing.
Fundic Gland Polyps
-Fundic gland polyps reported; risk increases with long-term use, especially beyond 1 year. Most patients were asymptomatic and fundic gland polyps were identified incidentally on endoscopy. -Use shortest duration of therapy appropriate to the condition being treated.
Use of Fixed Combinations
-When vonoprazan is used in fixed combination with amoxicillin and clarithromycin, consider the cautions, precautions, and contraindications of amoxicillin and clarithromycin

Drug Interactions
-CYP3A4/5, CYP2B6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, and CYP2D6 substrate; also metabolized by sulfo- and glucoronosyl-transferases. Inhibits CYP2B6, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4/5.
-Inhibits multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1 (MATE1) and organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1) at concentrations higher than clinically relevant.
CYP3A inhibitors: potential increased exposure of vonoprazan
CYP3A inducers: potential decreased exposure of vonoprazan (by 80% with a strong inducer or 50% with a moderate inducer). Avoid concomitant use.
-Vonoprazan reduces intragastric acidity, which may alter absorption of drugs dependent on gastric pH for absorption.
-co-administration of vonoprazan, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin had no effect on pharmacokinetics of amoxicillin.
