( 5.7 ) Leukopenia, Neutropenia, and Agranulocytosis: Perform complete blood counts (CBC) in patients with a history of clinically significant low white blood cell count (WBC) or history of leukopenia or neutropenia. Consider discontinuing UZEDY if a clinically significant decline in WBC occurs in the absence of other causative factors. ( 5.9 ) Potential for Cognitive and Motor Impairment: Use caution when operating machinery.
( 5.10 ) Seizures: Use cautiously in patients with a history of seizures or with conditions that lower the seizure threshold. ( 5.11 ) Priapism: Priapism has been reported. Severe priapism may require surgical intervention. ( 5.13 )
5.1Increased Mortality in Elderly Patients with Dementia-Related Psychosis
Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death. Analyses of 17 placebo-controlled trials (modal duration of 10 weeks), largely in patients taking atypical antipsychotic drugs, revealed a risk of death in drug-treated patients of between 1.6- to 1.7-times the risk of death in placebo-treated patients. Over the course of a typical 10-week controlled trial, the rate of death in drug-treated patients was about 4.5%, compared to a rate of about 2.6% in the placebo group.
Although the causes of death were varied, most of the deaths appeared to be either cardiovascular (e.g., heart failure, sudden death) or infectious (e.g., pneumonia) in nature. Observational studies suggest that, similar to atypical antipsychotic drugs, treatment with conventional antipsychotic drugs may increase mortality. The extent to which the findings of increased mortality in observational studies may be attributed to the antipsychotic drug as opposed to some characteristic(s) of the patients is not clear.
In two of four placebo-controlled trials in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis, a higher incidence of mortality was observed in patients treated with furosemide plus oral risperidone when compared to patients treated with oral risperidone alone or with placebo plus furosemide. No pathological mechanism has been identified to explain this finding, and no consistent pattern for cause of death was observed.
UZEDY is not approved for the treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis [see Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] .
5.2Cerebrovascular Adverse Reactions, Including Stroke, in Elderly Patients with Dementia-Related Psychosis
Cerebrovascular adverse reactions (e.g., stroke, transient ischemic attack), including fatalities, were reported in patients (mean age 85 years; range 73 to 97 years) in trials of oral risperidone in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis. In placebo-controlled trials, there was a significantly higher incidence of cerebrovascular adverse reactions in patients treated with oral risperidone compared to patients treated with placebo.
UZEDY is not approved for the treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )].
a potentially fatal symptom complex, has been reported in association with antipsychotic drugs. Clinical manifestations of NMS are hyperpyrexia, muscle rigidity, altered mental status including delirium, and autonomic instability (irregular pulse or blood pressure, tachycardia, diaphoresis, and cardiac dysrhythmia). Additional signs may include elevated creatine phosphokinase, myoglobinuria (rhabdomyolysis), and acute renal failure.
If NMS is suspected, immediately discontinue UZEDY and provide symptomatic treatment and monitoring.
5.4Tardive Dyskinesia
Tardive dyskinesia, a syndrome consisting of potentially irreversible, involuntary, dyskinetic movements may develop in patients treated with antipsychotic drugs. Although the prevalence of the syndrome appears to be highest among the elderly, especially elderly women, it is impossible to predict, which patients will develop the syndrome. Whether antipsychotic drug products differ in their potential to cause tardive dyskinesia is unknown.
The risk of developing tardive dyskinesia and the likelihood that it will become irreversible are believed to increase with the duration of treatment and the cumulative dose. The syndrome can develop, after relatively brief treatment periods, even at low doses. It may also occur after discontinuation of treatment. Tardive dyskinesia may remit, partially or completely, if antipsychotic treatment is discontinued. Antipsychotic treatment, itself, however, may suppress (or partially suppress) the signs and symptoms of the syndrome possibly masking the underlying process.
The effect that symptomatic suppression has upon the long-term course of the syndrome is unknown. Given these considerations, UZEDY should be prescribed in a manner that is most likely to minimize the occurrence of tardive dyskinesia. Chronic antipsychotic treatment should generally be reserved for patients: (1) who suffer from a chronic illness that is known to respond to antipsychotic drugs, and (2) for whom alternative, equally effective, but potentially less harmful treatments are not available or appropriate.
In patients who do require chronic treatment, use the lowest dose and the shortest duration of treatment producing a satisfactory clinical response. Periodically reassess the need for continued treatment. If signs and symptoms of tardive dyskinesia appear in a patient treated with UZEDY, drug discontinuation should be considered. However, some patients may require treatment with UZEDY despite the presence of the syndrome.
5.5Metabolic Changes
Atypical antipsychotic drugs have been associated with metabolic changes that may increase cardiovascular/cerebrovascular risk. These metabolic changes include hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and body weight gain. While all of the drugs in the class have been shown to produce some metabolic changes, each drug has its own specific risk profile. Hyperglycemia and Diabetes Mellitus Hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus, in some cases extreme and associated with ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar coma or death, have been reported in patients treated with atypical antipsychotics including risperidone.
Assessment of the relationship between atypical antipsychotic use and glucose abnormalities is complicated by the possibility of an increased background risk of diabetes mellitus in patients with schizophrenia and the increasing incidence of diabetes mellitus in the general population. Given these confounders, the relationship between atypical antipsychotic use and hyperglycemia-related adverse events is not completely understood.
However, epidemiological studies suggest an increased risk of treatment-emergent hyperglycemia-related adverse events in patients treated with the atypical antipsychotics. Precise risk estimates for hyperglycemia-related adverse events in patients treated with atypical antipsychotics are not available. Patients with an established diagnosis of diabetes mellitus who are started on atypical anti

Interactions
The interactions of UZEDY with co-administration of other drugs have not been studied. The drug interaction data provided in this section is based on studies with oral risperidone. Strong CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g., fluoxetine, paroxetine): Increase risperidone plasma concentration. ( 2.6 , 7.1 ) Strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., carbamazepine): Decrease plasma concentrations of risperidone. ( 2.6 , 7.1 )
7.1Drugs Having Clinically Important Interactions with
UZEDY Table 13 includes clinically significant drug interactions with UZEDY. Table 13: Clinically Important Drug Interactions with UZEDY Strong CYP2D6 Inhibitors Clinical Impact: Concomitant use of UZEDY with strong CYP2D6 inhibitors may increase the plasma exposure of risperidone and lower the plasma exposure of a major active metabolite, 9-hydroxyrisperidone [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Intervention: When initiation of strong CYP2D6 inhibitors is considered, patients may be placed on the lowest dose (50 mg once monthly or 100 mg once every 2 months) of UZEDY prior to the planned start of strong CYP2D6 inhibitors to adjust for the expected increase in plasma concentrations of risperidone.
When strong CYP2D6 inhibitors are initiated in patients receiving UZEDY 50 mg once monthly or 100 mg once every 2 months, it is recommended to continue treatment with the same dose unless clinical judgment necessitates interruption of UZEDY treatment. The effects of discontinuation of strong CYP2D6 inhibitors on the pharmacokinetics of risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone have not been studied [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .
Strong CYP3A4 Inducers Clinical Impact: Concomitant use of UZEDY and a strong CYP3A4 inducer may cause decreases in the combined plasma concentrations of risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone which could lead to decreased efficacy of UZEDY [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Intervention: Changes in efficacy and safety should be carefully monitored with any dose adjustment of UZEDY. At the initiation of therapy with a strong CYP3A4 inducer, patients should be closely monitored during the first 4 to 8 weeks.
In patients receiving UZEDY at a specific dose, consider increasing the dose to the next highest dose. In patients receiving UZEDY 125 mg once monthly or 250 mg once every 2 months, additional oral risperidone therapy may need to be considered. On discontinuation of a strong CYP3A4 inducer, the dosage of UZEDY or any additional oral risperidone therapy should be reevaluated and, if necessary, decreased to adjust for the expected increase in plasma concentration of risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone.
For patients treated with UZEDY 50 mg once monthly or UZEDY 100 mg once every 2 months discontinuing from a strong CYP3A4 inducer, it is recommended to continue treatment with the same dose unless clinical judgment necessitates interruption of UZEDY treatment [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.6 )] . Centrally-Acting Drugs and Alcohol Clinical Impact: Due to additive pharmacologic effects, the concomitant use of centrally-acting drugs, including alcohol, may increase nervous system disorders.
Intervention: Caution should be used when UZEDY is administered in combination with other centrally-acting drugs or alcohol. Hypotensive Agents Clinical Impact: Because of its potential for inducing hypotension, UZEDY may enhance the hypotensive effects of other therapeutic agents with this potential. Intervention: Caution should be used when UZEDY is administered with other therapeutic effects of other therapeutic agents with this potential.
Dopamine Agonists Clinical Impact: Agents with central antidopaminergic activity such as UZEDY may antagonize the pharmacologic effects of dopamine agonists. Intervention: Caution should be used when UZEDY is administered in combination with levodopa and dopamine agonists. Methylphenidate Clinical Impact: Concomitant use with methylphenidate, when there is change in dosage of either medication, may increase the risk of extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )] .
Intervention: Monitor for symptoms of EPS with concomitant use of UZEDY and methylphenidate.
7.2Drugs Having No Clinically Important Interactions with
UZEDY Based on pharmacokinetic studies with oral risperidone, no dosage adjustment of UZEDY is required when administered concomitantly with amitriptyline, cimetidine, ranitidine, clozapine, topiramate, and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (erythromycin). Additionally, no dosage adjustment is necessary for lithium, valproate, topiramate, digoxin, and CYP2D6 substrates (donepezil and galantamine) when co-administered with UZEDY [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
8.1Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry
There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to atypical antipsychotics, including UZEDY, during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by contacting the National Pregnancy Registry for Atypical Antipsychotics at 1-866-961-2388 or online at http://womensmentalhealth.org/clinical-and-research-programs/pregnancyregistry/. Risk Summary Neonates exposed to antipsychotic drugs during the third trimester of pregnancy are at risk for extrapyramidal and/or withdrawal symptoms following delivery ( see Clinical Considerations ).
Overall, available data from published epidemiologic studies of pregnant women exposed to risperidone have not established a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes ( see Data ). There are risks to the mother associated with untreated schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder and with exposure to antipsychotics, including UZEDY, during pregnancy ( see Clinical Considerations ).
Oral administration of risperidone to pregnant mice caused cleft palate at doses 3- to 4-times the oral maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 16 mg/day with maternal toxicity observed at 4-times MRHD based on mg/m 2 body surface area. Risperidone was not teratogenic in rats or rabbits at doses up to 6-times the oral MRHD based on mg/m 2 body surface area. Increased stillbirths and decreased birth weight occurred after oral risperidone administration to pregnant rats at 1.5-times the oral MRHD based on mg/m 2 body surface area.
Learning was impaired in offspring of rats when the dams were dosed at 0.6-times the oral MRHD and offspring mortality increased at doses 0.1- to 3-times the oral MRHD based on mg/m 2 body surface area. The background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.
Clinical Considerations Disease-associated maternal and/or embryo/fetal risk There is a risk to the mother from untreated schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder, including increased risk of relapse, hospitalization, and suicide. Schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder are associated with increased adverse perinatal outcomes, including preterm birth. It is not known if this is a direct result of the illness or other comorbid factors.
Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Extrapyramidal and/or withdrawal symptoms, including agitation, hypertonia, hypotonia, tremor, somnolence, respiratory distress, and feeding disorder have been reported in neonates who were exposed to antipsychotic drugs, including risperidone, during the third trimester of pregnancy. These symptoms have varied in severity. Monitor neonates for extrapyramidal and/or withdrawal symptoms and manage symptoms appropriately.
Some neonates recovered within hours or days without specific treatment; others required prolonged hospitalization. Data Human Data Published data from observational studies, birth registries, and case reports on the use of atypical antipsychotics during pregnancy do not report a clear association with antipsychotics and major birth defects. A prospective observational study including 6 women treated with risperidone demonstrated placental passage of risperidone.
A retrospective cohort study from a Medicaid database of 9258 women exposed to antipsychotics during pregnancy did not indicate an overall increased risk for major birth defects. There was a small increase in the risk of major birth defects (RR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.02 to 1.56) and of cardiac malformations (RR = 1.26, 95% CI = 0.88 to 1.81) in a subgroup of 1566 women exposed to risperidone during the first trimester of pregnancy; however, there is no mechanism of action to explain the difference in malformation rates.
Animal data No developmental toxicity studies were conducted with subcutaneous risperidone suspension. Oral administration of risperidone to pregnant mice during organogenesis caused cleft palate at 10 mg/kg/day which is 3-times the oral MRHD of 16 mg/day based on mg/m 2 body surface area; maternal toxicity occurred at 4-times the oral MRHD. Risperidone was not teratogenic when administered orally to rats at 0.6 to 10 mg/kg/day and rabbits at 0.3 to 5 mg/kg/day, which are up to 6-times the oral MRHD of 16 mg/day risperidone based on mg/m 2 body surface area.
Learning was impaired in offspring of rats dosed orally throughout pregnancy at 1 mg/kg/day which is 0.6-times the oral MRHD and neuronal cell death increased in fetal brains of offspring of rats dosed during pregnancy at 1 and 2 mg/kg/day which are 0.6- and 1.2-times the oral MRHD based on mg/m 2 body surface area; postnatal development and growth of the offspring were also delayed. Rat offspring mortality increased during the first 4 days of lactation when pregnant rats were dosed throughout gestation at 0.16 to 5 mg/kg/day which are 0.1- to 3-times the oral MRHD of 16 mg/day based on mg/m 2 body surface area.
It is not known whether these deaths were due to a direct effect on the fetuses or pups or to effects on the dams; a no-effect dose could not be determined. The rate of stillbirths was increased at 2.5 mg/kg or 1.5-times the oral MRHD based on mg/m 2 body surface area. In a rat cross-fostering study the number of live offspring was decreased, the number of stillbirths increased, and the birth weight was decreased in offspring of drug-treated pregnant rats.
In addition, the number of deaths increased by Day 1 among offspring of drug-treated pregnant rats, regardless of whether or not the offspring were cross-fostered. Risperidone also appeared to impair maternal behavior in that offspring body weight gain and survival (from Day 1 to 4 of lactation) were reduced in offspring born to control but reared by drug-treated dams. All of these effects occurred at 5 mg/kg which is 3-times the oral MRHD based on mg/m 2 and the only dose tested in the study.

6.1Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. Treatment of Schizophrenia in Adults UZEDY is to be administered subcutaneously [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )]. The safety of UZEDY for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults is based on adequate and well-controlled studies of oral risperidone in studies of patients with schizophrenia and other indications.
The results of those adequate and well-controlled studies are presented below. The data described in this section are derived from a clinical trial database consisting of 9,803 patients exposed to one or more doses of oral risperidone for the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders. Of these 9,803 patients, 2,687 were patients who received oral risperidone while participating in double-blind, placebo-controlled trials.
The conditions and duration of treatment with oral risperidone varied greatly and included (in overlapping categories) double-blind, fixed- and flexible-dose, placebo- or active-controlled studies and open-label phases of studies, inpatients and outpatients, and short-term (up to 12 weeks) and longer-term (up to 3 years) exposures. Safety was assessed by collecting adverse reactions and performing physical examinations, vital signs, body weights, laboratory analyses, and ECGs.
Injection site reactions for UZEDY presented in this section (see “Injection Site Reactions with UZEDY” below) are based on a randomized withdrawal study in patients with schizophrenia consisting of a 12-week open-label oral risperidone (2 mg to 5 mg) stabilization phase, followed by a placebo-controlled phase in which patients were randomized to UZEDY (once monthly or once every 2 months) or placebo for a variable time until impending relapse or study completion [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] .
The safety of UZEDY was evaluated in a total of 740 adult patients with schizophrenia who received at least 1 dose of UZEDY during the clinical development program. A total of 351 patients were exposed to UZEDY for at least 6 months, of which 221 patients were exposed to UZEDY for at least 12 months, which included 112 patients exposed to once monthly and 109 patients to once every 2 months dosing regimens. In addition, 32 patients were exposed to UZEDY for at least 24 months.
Treatment of Bipolar Disorder in Adults UZEDY is to be administered subcutaneously [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )] . The data presented below are from studies with another risperidone long-acting injection given once every 2 weeks that was administered intramuscularly. The safety of UZEDY as monotherapy or as adjunctive therapy to lithium or valproate for the maintenance treatment of Bipolar I Disorder in adults is based on adequate and well-controlled studies of another risperidone long-acting injection given once every 2 weeks.
The results of those adequate and well-controlled studies are presented below. Safety data are presented from a trial assessing the efficacy and safety of another risperidone long-acting injection, given once every 2 weeks, when administered as monotherapy for maintenance treatment in patients with bipolar I disorder. Safety data are also presented from a trial assessing the efficacy and safety of another risperidone long-acting injection, given once every 2 weeks, administered as adjunctive maintenance treatment in patients with bipolar disorder.
Adverse Reactions in Studies with Oral Risperidone The most common adverse reactions in clinical trials of oral risperidone (>5% and twice placebo) were parkinsonism, akathisia, dystonia, tremor, sedation, dizziness, anxiety, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal pain, stomach discomfort, dyspepsia, diarrhea, salivary hypersecretion, constipation, dry mouth, increased appetite, increased weight, fatigue, rash, nasal congestion, upper respiratory tract infection, nasopharyngitis, and pharyngolaryngeal pain.
