( 6.1 ) ALGS: Most common adverse reactions (>5%) are diarrhea, abdominal pain, hematoma, and decreased weight. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Albireo Pharma, Inc. at +1-855-252-4736, or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 Bile Acid Binding Resins Administer bile acid binding resins (e.g., cholestyramine, colesevelam, or colestipol) at least 4 hours before or 4 hours after administration of BYLVAY [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . Bile acid binding resins may bind odevixibat in the gut, which may reduce BYLVAY efficacy.
Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hepatoxicity : Obtain baseline liver tests and monitor patients frequently for the first 6 to 8 months after starting therapy, and as clinically indicated thereafter during treatment. If liver test abnormalities or signs of clinical hepatitis occur, consider dose reduction or treatment interruption. For persistent or recurrent liver test abnormalities relative to baseline, discontinue BYLVAY. Monitor patients with compensated cirrhosis or portal hypertension more frequently. Permanently discontinue BYLVAY if hepatic decompensation occurs. ( 2.3 , 5.1 ) Diarrhea : Treat dehydration. Treatment interruption or discontinuation may be required for persistent diarrhea. ( 5.2 ) Fat-Soluble Vitamin (FSV) Deficiency : Obtain baseline levels and monitor during treatment. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS IBAT inhibitors, including BYLVAY, are contraindicated in patients with prior or active hepatic decompensation events (e.g., variceal hemorrhage, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Patients with prior or active hepatic decompensation events (e.g., variceal hemorrhage, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy). ( 4 )
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Limited human data on the use of BYLVAY in pregnant women are insufficient to establish a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse developmental outcomes. Based on findings from animal reproduction studies, BYLVAY may cause cardiac malformations when a fetus is exposed during pregnancy.
