6 Adverse Reactions

6.2 Postmarketing Experience

Newly added subsection:

The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of SKYCLARYS. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Immune System Disorders: hypersensitivity (urticaria, rash)

7 Drug Interactions

7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on SKYCLARYS

Additions and revisions underlined:

Omaveloxolone is a CYP3A4 substrate. Concomitant use of SKYCLARYS with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inducers is expected to result in clinically significant decreased exposure of omaveloxolone [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]
