Uses

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE JEUVEAU is indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity in adult patients. JEUVEAU is an acetylcholine release inhibitor and a neuromuscular blocking agent indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity in adult patients ( 1 )

Dosage

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Glabellar Lines Administration: 0.1 mL (4 Units) by intramuscular injection into each of five sites, for a total dose of 20 Units ( 2.2 , 2.3 ) 2.1 Instructions for Safe Use The potency Units of JEUVEAU (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs) for injection are specific to the preparation and assay method utilized. They are not interchangeable with other preparations of botulinum toxin products and, therefore, units of biological activity of JEUVEAU cannot be compared to nor converted into units of any other botulinum toxin products assessed with any other specific assay method [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ) and Description ( 11 ) ]. Retreatment of JEUVEAU should be administered no more frequently than every three months.

Side Effects

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: • Spread of Toxin Effects [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) ] • Hypersensitivity [ see Contraindications ( 4.1 ) and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 ) ] • Dysphagia and Breathing Difficulties [ See Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 ) ] The most common adverse reactions are headache (12%), eyelid ptosis (2%), upper respiratory tract infection (3%), and increased white blood cell count (1%) ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Evolus at [1-877-386-5871] or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS No formal drug interaction studies have been conducted with JEUVEAU (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs) for injection. However, the potential for certain drugs to potentiate the effects of JEUVEAU warrant consideration given the potential risks involved and should be used with caution. • Aminoglycosides or other agents interfering with neuromuscular transmission • Anticholinergic drugs • Botulinum neurotoxin products • Muscle relaxant Closely observe patients receiving concomitant treatment of JEUVEAU and aminoglycosides or other agents interfering with neuromuscular transmission (e.g., curare-like agents), or muscle relaxants because JEUVEAU’s effect may be potentiated ( 7 )

Warnings

WARNING: DISTANT SPREAD OF TOXIN EFFECT The effects of all botulinum toxin products, including JEUVEAU, may spread from the area of injection to produce symptoms consistent with botulinum toxin effects. These symptoms have been reported hours to weeks after injection. Swallowing and breathing difficulties can be life threatening and there have been reports of death. JEUVEAU is not approved for the treatment of spasticity or any conditions other than glabellar lines. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Potency Units of JEUVEAU are not interchangeable with other preparations of botulinum toxin products ( 5.2 , 11 ) • Spread of toxin effects; swallowing and breathing difficulties can lead to death. Seek immediate medical attention if respiratory, speech, or swallowing difficulties occur ( 5.2 , 5.7 ) • Potential serious adverse reactions after JEUVEAU injections for unapproved uses ( 5.3 ) • Adverse event reports have been received involving the cardiovascular system, some with fatal outcomes. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS • Hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin preparation or to any of the components in the formulation ( 4.1 ) • Infection at the injection site ( 4.2 ) 4.1 Known Hypersensitivity to Botulinum Toxin JEUVEAU is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin preparation or to any of the components in the formulation [ See Warnings and Precautions...

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary The limited available data on JEUVEAU use in pregnant women are insufficient to inform a drug associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes. An embryofetal developmental study conducted with JEUVEAU in pregnant rats revealed no treatment-related effects to the developing fetus when JEUVEAU was administered intramuscularly during organogenesis at doses up to 12 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) ( see Data ). The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown.

Storage

16 HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLING JEUVEAU (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs) for injection is a vacuum-dried powder supplied in a single-dose vial in the following size: 100 Units (NDC 72301-595-10) Storage Unopened vials of JEUVEAU should be stored in a refrigerator between 2° to 8°C (36° to 46° F) in the original carton to protect from light.
