Uses
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE CARDAMYST is indicated for the conversion of acute symptomatic episodes of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) to sinus rhythm in adults.

Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION 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.
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS 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.
Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Syncope: May cause dizziness and/or syncope, especially in patients with a history of syncope. Administer in a sitting position ( 5.1 ). 5.1 Syncope Related to Hemodynamic Effects Because of effects on blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiac conduction, CARDAMYST may cause dizziness and/or syncope, especially in patients with a history of syncope and high-grade AV block or sinus node dysfunction, or those with a history of syncope during an episode of PSVT. In clinical trials, a small percentage of patients (0.4%) experienced clinically significant hypotension during test dosing prior to randomization, which precluded further participation in the study. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS 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.
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on the use of CARDAMYST during pregnancy to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Reproductive studies conducted with intravenous administration of etripamil in pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis did not show any evidence of fetal harm or malformations in rats at exposures up to approximately 3x the maximum concentration (C max ) and 0.4x the AUC at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) and in rabbits at exposures approximately equivalent to the C max...
Storage
16.2 Storage and Handling Store at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F), with excursions permitted from 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F) (see USP Controlled Room Temperature). Do not test spray, prime or press the plunger before use. Discard the CARDAMYST device after use.
