Approved Drug Label (PDF)

4 Contraindications

(Additions and/or revisions underlined)

UBRELVY is contraindicated:

  • With concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Drug Interactions (7.1)]
  • In patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity to ubrogepant or any component of UBRELVY. Reactions have included anaphylaxis, dyspnea, and facial or throat edema [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]

5 Warnings and Precautions

(Newly added section)

5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions

Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, dyspnea, facial or throat edema, rash, urticaria, and pruritus, have been reported with use of UBRELVY. Hypersensitivity reactions can occur minutes, hours, or days after administration. Most reactions occurred within hours after dosing and were not serious, and some reactions led to discontinuation. If a serious or severe hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue UBRELVY and institute appropriate therapy [see Contraindications (4) and Adverse Reactions (6.2)].

6 Adverse Reactions

(Additions and/or revisions underlined)

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in labeling:

  • Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]

 6.2 Postmarketing Experience

(Newly added subsection)

The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of UBRELVY. 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 (e.g., anaphylaxis, dyspnea, facial or throat edema, rash, urticaria, and pruritus) [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]

8 Use in Specific Populations

8.1 Pregnancy

(Additions and/or revisions underlined)

Pregnancy Exposure Registry

There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors outcomes in women who become pregnant while taking UBRELVY. Patients should be encouraged to enroll by calling 1-833-277-0206 or visiting http://empresspregnancyregistry.com.

17 PCI/PI/MG (Patient Counseling Information/Patient Information/Medication Guide)

17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION

(Additions and/or revisions underlined)

Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Patient Information).

Hypersensitivity Reactions

Inform patients about the signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions and that these reactions can occur with UBRELVY. Advise patients to discontinue UBRELVY and seek immediate medical attention if they experience any symptoms of serious hypersensitivity reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

Drug Interactions

Inform patients that UBRELVY may interact with certain other drugs; therefore, advise patients to report to their healthcare provider the use of any other prescription medications, over-the- counter medications, or herbal products [see Contraindications (4) and Drug Interactions (7.1, 7.2, 7.3)]. Advise patients to inform their healthcare provider of grapefruit juice intake because a dosage modification is recommended with co-administration.

 

Pregnancy

Advise patients to notify their healthcare provider if they become pregnant during treatment or plan to become pregnant. Encourage pregnant patients to enroll in the registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to UBRELVY during pregnancy [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].
