6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are also discussed elsewhere in the labeling: • Pancreatitis [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) ] • Heart Failure [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ) ] • Acute Renal Failure [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 ) ] • Hypoglycemia with Concomitant Use with Insulin or Insulin Secretagogues [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 ) ] • Hypersensitivity Reactions [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 ) ] • Severe and Disabling Arthralgia [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 ) ] • Bullous Pemphigoid [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 ) ] Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥5%) are: upper respiratory tract infection, nasopharyngitis and headache.
Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 Concomitant Use with Insulin or Insulin Secretagogues BRYNOVIN lowers blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Coadministration of BRYNOVIN with insulin or an insulin secretagogue (e.g., sulfonylurea) or insulin may require lower dosages of the insulin secretagogue or insulin to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia. [See Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )].
Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Pancreatitis : There have been postmarketing reports of acute pancreatitis, including fatal and non-fatal hemorrhagic or necrotizing pancreatitis. If pancreatitis is suspected, promptly discontinue BRYNOVIN. ( 5.1 ) • Heart failure : Heart failure has been observed with two other members of the DPP-4 inhibitor class. Consider risks and benefits of BRYNOVIN in patients who have known risk factors for heart failure. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms. ( 5.2 ) • Acute Renal Failure : Has been reported postmarketing, sometimes requiring dialysis. Assessment of renal function is recommended prior to initiating BRYNOVIN and periodically thereafter. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS BRYNOVIN is contraindicated in patients with a history of a serious hypersensitivity reaction to sitagliptin or any of the excipients in BRYNOVIN. Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis and angioedema have been reported [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 ) and Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )].
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary The limited available data with sitagliptin in pregnant women are not sufficient to inform a drug- associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage. There are risks to the mother and fetus associated with poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy [see Clinical Considerations] . No adverse developmental effects were observed when sitagliptin was administered to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at oral doses up to 30-times and 20-times, respectively, the 100 mg clinical dose, based on AUC [see Data].
