Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Strong CYP3A Inhibitors : Reduce JASCAYD dosage to 9 mg twice daily. ( 2.2 , 7.1 ) Moderate or Strong CYP3A Inducers : Avoid concomitant use with JASCAYD. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on JASCAYD Strong CYP3A Inhibitors Reduce the dosage of JASCAYD to 9 mg twice daily when used concomitantly with strong CYP3A inhibitors [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . Nerandomilast is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use of JASCAYD with a strong CYP3A inhibitor increases exposure of nerandomilast, which may increase the risk of JASCAYD adverse reactions [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Moderate or Strong CYP3A Inducers Avoid use of JASCAYD with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers. Nerandomilast is a CYP3A substrate.

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on JASCAYD use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are maternal and fetal risks associated with untreated idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) during pregnancy (Clinical Considerations). Based on findings from animal reproduction studies, JASCAYD may increase the risk for fetal loss.
