Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Drugs that increase risks due to fluid and electrolyte changes. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Drugs That May Increase Risks of Fluid and Electrolyte Abnormalities Use caution when prescribing CLENPIQ for patients with conditions or who are taking other drugs, that increase the risk for fluid and electrolyte disturbances or may increase the risk of renal impairment, seizures, syncope, arrhythmias or QT prolongation in the setting of fluid and electrolyte abnormalities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 , 5.2 , 5.3 , 5.4 , 5.5) ] . 7.2 Potential for Reduced Drug Absorption CLENPIQ can reduce the absorption of other co-administered drugs [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ] : Administer oral medications at least one hour before of the start of administration of CLENPIQ.
Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Risk of fluid and electrolyte abnormalities, arrhythmia, seizures, and renal impairment : Encourage adequate hydration, assess concurrent medications, and consider laboratory assessments prior to and after use. ( 5.1 , 5.2 , 5.3 , 5.4 , 7.1 ) Use in patients with renal impairment or taking concomitant medications that affect renal function : Use caution, ensure adequate hydration, and consider testing. ( 4 , 5.3 , 7.1 ) Syncope : Resulted in serious outcomes including falls, head injuries, and fractures; encourage adequate hydration. ( 5.5 ) Mucosal ulcerations : Consider potential for mucosal ulcerations when interpreting colonoscopy findings in patients with known or suspected inflammatory bowel disease. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS CLENPIQ is contraindicated in the following conditions: Patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/minute), which may result in accumulation of magnesium [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ]. Gastrointestinal obstruction or ileus [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ]. Bowel perforation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ].
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no data with CLENPIQ use in pregnant women to determine a drug-associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, no adverse developmental effects were observed in pregnant rats when sodium picosulfate, magnesium oxide, and anhydrous citric acid were administered orally at doses 1.2 times the recommended human dose based on body surface area during organogenesis. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown.
Storage
Storage Store CLENPIQ at 25°C (77°F). Excursions permitted at 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F). [See USP Controlled Room Temperature]. Do not refrigerate or freeze.
