8 Use in Specific Populations

8.2 Lactation

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

Tenapanor and its major metabolite, M1, were not detected in the breast milk of lactating women (see Data). In adults, concentrations of tenapanor were below the limit of quantitation in plasma following multiple doses of IBSRELA [see Clinical Pharmacology

(12.3)]. Maternal use of IBSRELA is not expected to result in exposure to tenapanor or its major metabolite in breastfed infants. There is no information on the effects of tenapanor or its major metabolite on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for IBSRELA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from IBSRELA or from the underlying maternal condition.

Data

A clinical lactation study was conducted in seven healthy adult women who were 22 to 37 years of age. Following oral administration of IBSRELA 50 mg twice daily for 3 days, the concentrations of tenapanor and its major metabolite were below the limit of quantitation (<1 ng/mL and <1 ng/mL) in all breast milk samples collected over 24 hours post-dosing.

MEDICATION GUIDE

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

Before you take IBSRELA, tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including if you:

  • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if IBSRELA will harm your unborn baby.

  • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed, although ISBRELA is not expected to pass into your breast milk and to harm your baby. Talk with your doctor about the best way to feed your baby if you take IBSRELA.

6 Adverse Reactions

6.2 Postmarketing Experience

Newly added subsection:

The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of IBSRELA. 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.

Hypersensitivity reactions: pruritis, rash, and urticaria

7 Drug Interactions

Newly added subsection:

7.1 OATP2B1 Substrates

Tenapanor is an inhibitor of intestinal uptake transporter, OATP2B1 [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Drugs which are substrates of OATP2B1 may have reduced exposures when concomitantly taken with IBSRELA. Monitor for signs related to loss of efficacy and adjust the dosage of concomitantly administered drug as needed.

Enalapril is a substrate of OATP2B1. When enalapril was coadministered with tenapanor (30 mg twice daily for five days, a dosage 0.6 times the recommended dosage), the peak exposure (Cmax) of enalapril and its active metabolite, enalaprilat, decreased by approximately 70% and total systemic exposures (AUC) decreased by approximately 50% to 65% compared to when enalapril was administered alone [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

Monitor blood pressure and increase the dosage of enalapril, if needed, when IBSRELA is coadministered with enalapril.
