1 Indications And Usage


TURALIO is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with symptomatic tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) associated with severe morbidity or functional limitations and not amenable to improvement with surgery.


TURALIO is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult patients with symptomatic tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) associated with severe morbidity or functional limitations and not amenable to improvement with surgery. (1)

2 Dosage And Administration


  • Recommended Dosage: 250 mg orally twice daily with a low-fat meal (approximately 11 to 14 grams of total fat). (2.1)
  • See full prescribing information for dosage modifications due to adverse reactions, renal impairment and hepatic impairment. (2.2, 2.5, 2.6)

2.1 Recommended Dosage


The recommended dosage of TURALIO is 250 mg taken orally twice daily with a low-fat meal (approximately 11 to 14 grams of total fat) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Taking TURALIO with a high-fat meal (approximately 55 to 65 grams of total fat) increases pexidartinib concentrations and may increase the risk of adverse reactions, including hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1, 5.4), Drug Interactions (7.2), Clinical Pharmacology (12.2, 12.3)].

Swallow TURALIO capsules whole. Do not open, break, or chew the capsules.

If a patient vomits or misses a dose of TURALIO, instruct the patient to take the next dose at its scheduled time.

2.2 Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions


The recommended dose reductions for adverse reactions are provided in Table 1.
Table 1: Recommended Dose Reductions for TURALIO for Adverse Reactions

5 Warnings And Precautions


  • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: May cause fetal harm. Advise patients of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use an effective non-hormonal method of contraception. (5.3, 7.3, 8.1, 8.3)
  • Potential Risks Associated with a High-Fat Meal: May increase incidence and severity of adverse reactions, including hepatotoxicity. Avoid taking TURALIO with a high-fat meal (approximately 55 to 65 grams of total fat). (2.1, 5.4)

5.1 Hepatotoxicity


TURALIO can cause serious and potentially fatal liver injury and is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

Hepatotoxicity with ductopenia and cholestasis occurred in patients treated with TURALIO. Across 768 patients who received TURALIO in clinical trials, there were two irreversible cases of cholestatic liver injury. One patient died with advanced cancer and ongoing liver toxicity and one patient required a liver transplant. The mechanism of cholestatic hepatotoxicity is unknown and its occurrence cannot be predicted. It is unknown whether liver injury occurs in the absence of increased transaminases.

In ENLIVEN, 3 of 61 (5%) patients who received TURALIO developed signs of serious liver injury, defined as ALT or AST ≥3 × ULN with total bilirubin ≥2 × ULN. In these patients, peak ALT ranged from 6 to 9 × ULN, peak total bilirubin ranged from 2.5 to 15 × ULN, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was ≥2 × ULN. ALT, AST and total bilirubin improved to <2 × ULN in these patients 1 to 7 months after discontinuing TURALIO.

Avoid TURALIO in patients with pre-existing increased serum transaminases; total bilirubin or direct bilirubin (>ULN); or active liver or biliary tract disease, including increased ALP. Monitor liver tests, including AST, ALT, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, ALP and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), prior to initiation of TURALIO, weekly for the first 8 weeks, every 2 weeks for the next month and every 3 months thereafter. Withhold and dose reduce, or permanently discontinue TURALIO based on the severity of the hepatotoxicity [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)]. Rechallenge with a reduced dose of TURALIO may result in a recurrence of increased serum transaminases, bilirubin, or ALP. Monitor liver tests weekly for the first month after rechallenge.

5.2 TURALIO REMS Program


TURALIO is only available through a restricted program under a REMS, because of the risk of hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

Notable requirements of the TURALIO REMS Program include the following:
  • Prescribers must be certified with the program by enrolling and completing training.
  • Patients must complete and sign an enrollment form for inclusion in a patient registry.
  • Pharmacies must be certified with the program and must only dispense to patients who are authorized to receive TURALIO.

Further information is available at www.TURALIOREMS.com or 1-833-887-2546.

5.3 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity


Based on animal studies and its mechanism of action, TURALIO may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Oral administration of pexidartinib to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in malformations, increased post-implantation loss, and abortion at exposures approximately equal to the human exposure at the recommended dose based on area under the curve (AUC).

Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception, since TURALIO can render hormonal contraceptives ineffective, during treatment with TURALIO and for 1 month after the final dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TURALIO and for 1 week after the final dose [see Drug Interactions (7.3), Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].

5.4 Potential Risks Associated with a High-Fat Meal


Taking TURALIO with a high-fat meal increases pexidartinib concentrations, which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions, including hepatotoxicity [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2, 12.3)].

Instruct patients to take TURALIO with a low-fat meal (approximately 11 to 14 grams of total fat) and to avoid taking TURALIO with a high-fat meal (approximately 55 to 65 grams of total fat). Consider referring patients to a dietician as deemed necessary [see Dosage and Administration (2.1), Warnings and Precautions (5.1), Drug Interactions (7.2)].

6.1 Clinical 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 practice.

The safety of TURALIO 250 mg orally twice daily administered with a low-fat meal has been established based on adequate and well-controlled studies of TURALIO 400 mg orally twice daily administered on an empty stomach and additional pharmacokinetic data that indicate there is no clinically significant difference in the relative exposure between the two dosages [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

The safety of TURALIO was evaluated in ENLIVEN [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. ENLIVEN excluded patients with ALT, AST, or total bilirubin >1.5 × ULN; and known active or chronic infection with hepatitis B or C virus, or human immunodeficiency virus. Patients received TURALIO without food at a dose of 400 mg in the morning and 600 mg in the evening orally for 2 weeks followed by 400 mg orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Seventy-nine percent of patients received TURALIO for 6 months or longer and 66% for greater than one year.

The median age of TURALIO-treated patients was 44 years (range: 22-75), 57% were females, and 85% were White.

Serious adverse reactions were reported in 13% of patients who received TURALIO. Most frequent (occurring in >1 patient) serious adverse reactions included abnormal liver tests (3.3%) and hepatotoxicity (3.3%).

Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 13% of patients who received TURALIO. Most frequent adverse reactions (occurring in >1 patient) requiring permanent discontinuation included increased ALT (4.9%), increased AST (4.9%) and hepatotoxicity (3.3%).

Dose reductions or interruptions occurred in 38% of patients who received TURALIO. Most frequent adverse reactions (occurring in >1 patient) requiring a dosage reduction or interruption were increased ALT (13%), increased AST (13%), nausea (8%), increased ALP (7%), vomiting (4.9%), increased bilirubin (3.3%), increased GGT (3.3%), dizziness (3.3%), and abdominal pain (3.3%).

The most common (>20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, in patients who received TURALIO were: increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), increased AST, hair color changes, fatigue, increased ALT, decreased neutrophils, increased cholesterol, increased ALP, decreased lymphocytes, eye edema, decreased hemoglobin, rash, dysgeusia and decreased phosphate.

8 Use In Specific Populations


  • Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. (8.2)
  • Renal Impairment: Reduce the dosage for patients with mild to severe renal impairment. (2.5, 8.6)
  • Hepatic Impairment: Reduce the dosage for patients with moderate hepatic impairment. (2.6, 8.7)

8.1 Pregnancy


Risk Summary

Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)], TURALIO may cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. The available human data do not establish the presence or absence of major birth defects or miscarriage related to the use of TURALIO. Oral administration of pexidartinib to pregnant animals during the period of organogenesis resulted in malformations, post-implantation loss, and abortion at maternal exposures that were approximately equal to the human exposure at the recommended dose (see Data). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.

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.


Data


Animal Data

Embryo-fetal development studies investigating the administration of pexidartinib during the period of organogenesis were conducted in rats and rabbits. In rats, pexidartinib resulted in increased post-implantation loss and fetal malformations including localized fetal edema, absence of kidney and ureter, abnormalities of the reproductive tract, and developmental variations including misshapen kidney, decreased skeletal ossification and higher mean litter proportions of slightly or moderately malaligned sternebrae at doses of 40 mg/kg (approximately equal to the human exposure at the recommended dose). In rabbits, administration of pexidartinib resulted in increased post-implantation loss, abortion, and fetal malformations including absence of kidney or ureter, rudimentary, misshapen or malpositioned kidney, rib abnormalities, and skeletal variations of accessory skull bones at doses of 60 mg/kg (approximately equal to the human exposure at the recommended dose).

8.2 Lactation



Risk Summary

There are no data on the presence of pexidartinib or its metabolites in either human or animal milk or its effects on a breastfed child or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with TURALIO and for at least 1 week after the final dose.

8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential


TURALIO may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].


Pregnancy Testing

Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to the initiation of TURALIO [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].


Contraception


Females

Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with TURALIO and for 1 month after the final dose. Counsel patients to use non-hormonal method(s) of contraception, since TURALIO can render hormonal contraceptives ineffective [see Drug Interactions (7.3), Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].


Males

Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TURALIO and for 1 week after the final dose [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].


Infertility

Based on findings from animal studies, TURALIO may impair both male and female fertility [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

8.4 Pediatric Use


The safety and effectiveness of TURALIO in pediatric patients have not been established.

8.5 Geriatric Use


Clinical studies of TURALIO did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.

8.6 Renal Impairment


Reduce the dosage when administering TURALIO to patients with mild to severe renal impairment (CLcr 15 to 89 mL/min, estimated by Cockcroft-Gault [C-G]) [see Dosage and Administration (2.5), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

8.7 Hepatic Impairment


No dosage adjustment is recommended for patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal [ULN] with AST > ULN or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 × ULN with any AST) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

Reduce the dosage of TURALIO for patients with moderate hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 × ULN, not due to Gilbert's syndrome, with any AST) [see Dosage and Administration (2.6), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

TURALIO has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >3 to 10 × ULN and any AST).

10 Overdosage


Due to the high plasma protein binding, TURALIO is not expected to be dialyzable [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

11 Description


Pexidartinib is a kinase inhibitor. The chemical name of pexidartinib hydrochloride is 5-[(5-Chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)methyl]-N-{[6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl]methyl}pyridin-2-amine monohydrochloride. Pexidartinib hydrochloride is an off-white to white solid. The molecular formula for pexidartinib hydrochloride is C20H15ClF3N5∙HCl. The molecular weight is 454.28 for the hydrochloride salt and 417.81 for the free base. The chemical structure is:

The solubility of pexidartinib hydrochloride in aqueous solutions decreases with increasing pH. The pKa1 and pKa2 were determined to be 2.6 and 5.4 respectively for the conjugate acids. Pexidartinib hydrochloride is soluble in methanol, slightly soluble in water and ethanol, and practically insoluble in heptane.

TURALIO (pexidartinib) capsules are for oral use. Each capsule contains 125 mg pexidartinib which is equivalent to 135.9 mg pexidartinib hydrochloride. The capsule contains the following inactive ingredients: poloxamer 407, mannitol, crospovidone, and magnesium stearate. The hypromellose capsule shell contains hypromellose, titanium dioxide and FD&C Blue No. 1.

12 Clinical Pharmacology


12.1 Mechanism of Action


Pexidartinib is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R), KIT proto-oncogene receptor tyrosine kinase (KIT), and FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) harboring an internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutation. Overexpression of the CSF1R ligand promotes cell proliferation and accumulation in the synovium. In vitro, pexidartinib inhibited proliferation of cell lines dependent on CSF1R and ligand-induced autophosphorylation of CSF1R. Pexidartinib also inhibited the proliferation of a CSF1R dependent cell line in vivo.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics



Exposure-Response Relationships

There is an exposure response relationship between pexidartinib steady state exposure and serum transaminase levels (ALT and AST) with a higher risk of increased serum transaminases at higher exposure. Additionally, increased transaminases occurred more frequently with higher pexidartinib doses between 200 to 1200 mg per day administered on an empty stomach (0.25 to 1.5 times the exposure from the recommended dose).


Cardiac Electrophysiology

At two times the mean maximum exposure of the recommended dosage, TURALIO does not prolong the QTc interval to any clinically relevant extent.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics

Specific Populations

No clinically meaningful differences in the pharmacokinetics of pexidartinib were observed based on age (18 to 84 years), sex, race (White and Black), or mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ ULN with AST > ULN or total bilirubin > 1 to 1.5 × ULN with any AST).


Patients with Renal Impairment

Mild (CLcr 60 to 89 mL/min), moderate (CLcr 30 to 59 mL/min) and severe (CLcr 15 to 29 mL/min) renal impairment increased pexidartinib exposure (AUC) by approximately 30%, relative to that in patients with normal renal function (CLcr ≥90 mL/min).


Patients with Hepatic Impairment

Moderate hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 1.5 to 3 × ULN, not due to Gilbert's syndrome, with any AST) increased pexidartinib exposure (AUC) by 43% relative to exposure in patients with normal hepatic function (total bilirubin and AST ≤ ULN).

The pharmacokinetics of pexidartinib have not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 3 to 10 × ULN with any AST).


Drug Interaction Studies


Clinical Studies


In Vitro Studies

13 Nonclinical Toxicology


13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility


Carcinogenicity studies were performed in mice and rats. Both studies were negative for carcinogenic findings at exposures up to 9 times the human exposure at the recommended daily dose based on AUC.

Pexidartinib was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (AMES) assay or clastogenic in either an in vitro human peripheral blood lymphocyte chromosomal aberrations assay or in an in vivo mouse bone marrow micronucleus assay.

Based on nonclinical findings, TURALIO may impair male and female fertility. In a fertility study in which pexidartinib was administered orally to male and female rats, there were reductions in pregnancy, as well as increases in pre- and post-implantation loss with a corresponding reduction in viable embryos at 40 mg/kg (approximately 1.3 times the human exposure at the recommended dose). Males at this dose level displayed reductions in spermatogenic parameters and adverse effects on sperm concentration, production, motility, and morphology. Lower testicular and epididymal weights occurred in this study at doses of ≥10 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.3 times the human exposure at the recommended dose). This is consistent with findings in chronic toxicology studies of germ cell depletion of the testes and hypospermia and cellular debris in the epididymis in male reproductive tissues of both rats and dogs at respective doses as low as 20 and 30 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.6 and 0.1 times the human exposure at the recommended dose). In rats, these changes persisted following a 16-week recovery period at the 60 mg/kg/day dose level (approximately 1.5 times the human exposure at the recommended dose).

In female rats, necrosis of corpora lutea occurred at doses ≥0.5 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.01 times the human exposure at the recommended dose) with pigment deposition within the interstitium of the ovaries, an increased incidence of luteal cysts and incidence/severity of hemorrhage of corpora lutea, and a decreased incidence of retained antral follicles and decreased corpora lutea at 60 mg/kg (approximately 1.8 times the human exposure at the recommended dose). In female dogs there were decreased follicle numbers and moderate atrophy of the oviduct, uterus, and cervix at doses as low as 1 mg/kg (approximately 0.01 times the human exposure at the recommended dose).

13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology


In repeat dose toxicity studies of up to 26 weeks in rats, there were findings of myxomatous change in the skin, tongue, and gastrointestinal tract, lymphoid depletion of the bone marrow and thymus, and chronic progressive nephropathy of the kidney at 20 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.6 times the human exposure at the recommended dose). Similar changes occurred in the rat carcinogenicity study along with alterations in the tunica intima of the aorta. Vascular inflammation consistent with polyarteritis nodosa occurred in male rats at 60 mg/kg/day (approximately 1.5 times the human exposure at the recommended dose). There were also dose-dependent findings of minimal to moderate subphyseal or cortical hyperostosis and physeal hypertrophy in the femur that correlated with decreased systemic phosphate levels at doses ≥ 60 mg/kg.

14 Clinical Studies


14.1 Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor


The efficacy of TURALIO 250 mg orally twice daily administered with a low-fat meal has been established based on adequate and well-controlled studies of TURALIO 400 mg orally twice daily administered on an empty stomach and additional pharmacokinetic data that indicate there is no clinically significant difference in the relative exposure between the two dosages.

The efficacy of TURALIO was evaluated in ENLIVEN (NCT02371369), a double-blind, randomized (1:1), placebo-controlled, multicenter trial in patients with symptomatic TGCT [also referred to as giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCT-TS) or pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS)] for whom surgical removal of the tumor would be associated with worsening functional limitation or severe morbidity. Eligible patients were required to have measurable disease per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. Patients were randomized to placebo or TURALIO administered on an empty stomach: 400 mg in the morning and 600 mg in the evening for 2 weeks followed by 400 mg twice daily until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Randomization was stratified by geographic region (US vs. non-US countries) and disease location (upper extremity vs. lower extremity involvement). Patients who completed treatment in the double-blind, randomized part of the trial were eligible to advance to an open-label extension part in which all patients were given the option to receive pexidartinib.

The major efficacy outcome measure was overall response rate (ORR) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) at Week 25 using RECIST v1.1. Additional efficacy outcome measures were mean change from baseline in range of motion of the affected joint at Week 25 and ORR as assessed by BICR at Week 25 using tumor volume score (TVS). Range of motion was measured as a percent of normal reference range for the affected joint. Range of motion assessments were performed by a third-party clinical assessor using a goniometer. TVS was defined in ENLIVEN as the estimated volume of the maximally distended synovial cavity or tendon sheath involved, measured in 10% increments. Patients in the placebo arm were offered TURALIO at Week 25 beginning with a 400 mg twice daily dose, as permitted by the study protocol.

A total of 120 patients were randomized, 61 to the TURALIO arm and 59 to the placebo arm. The median age was 44 years (range: 18-79); 59% were females; 88% were White; 53% had prior surgery; 88% were diagnosed with diffuse TGCT; and 9% had previously been treated with systemic therapy. Disease locations were knee (61%), ankle (18%), hip (11%), wrist (3%), foot (3%) and other (5%).

ENLIVEN demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in ORR in patients randomized to TURALIO compared with placebo. Efficacy results are summarized in Table 10.

The analysis of mean change from baseline in range of motion at Week 25 demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in patients randomized to TURALIO compared to placebo. Figure 1 shows the change from baseline in range of motion for each patient at Week 25 (TURALIO N=45, placebo N=43). Results were excluded for 1 patient with missing baseline and 31 patients with a missing range of motion assessment at Week 25.
Figure 1: Change from Baseline in Range of Motion at Week 25 for ENLIVEN



ORR by TVS was 56% (95% CI: 43%, 67%) in patients randomized to the TURALIO arm and 0% in patients randomized to the placebo arm; p < 0.0001.

At completion of the open-label extension part of the study in which all patients received TURALIO, the ORR using RECIST v1.1 was 61% (95% CI: 48%, 72%) in the 61 patients originally randomized to the TURALIO arm. The median duration of response was not reached (range: 4.6+, 63.4+ months) in the 37 responders.

What is the most important information I should know about TURALIO?TURALIO can cause serious side effects, including:Serious liver problems which may be severe and can lead to death. Your healthcare provider will do blood tests to check for liver problems:
  • before starting treatment with TURALIO,
  • every week for the first 8 weeks during treatment,
  • every 2 weeks for the next month,
  • then, every 3 months after that.
If you develop liver problems during treatment with TURALIO, your healthcare provider may do blood tests more often to monitor you. It is important to stay under the care of your healthcare provider during treatment with TURALIO.Stop taking TURALIO and call your healthcare provider right away if you develop:
  • yellowing of your skin and whites of your eyes
  • dark urine
Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have any of these symptoms of liver problems during treatment with TURALIO:
  • lack or loss of appetite
  • right upper stomach-area (abdomen) pain or tenderness
  • feeling overly tired
  • nausea
  • vomiting
  • fever
  • rash
  • itching
TURALIO Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS): Because of the risk of serious liver problems, TURALIO is available only through a restricted program called the TURALIO REMS Program. Your healthcare provider must be enrolled in the program in order for you to be prescribed TURALIO. There is a registry that collects information about the effects of taking TURALIO over time. You must complete and sign an enrollment form for the TURALIO REMS Program and the registry. Ask your healthcare provider for more information. See "What are the possible side effects of TURALIO?" for more information about side effects.
What is TURALIO? TURALIO is a prescription medicine used to treat certain adults who have tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) that is not likely to improve with surgery. TGCT is also known as giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCT-TS) or pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS).It is not known if TURALIO is safe and effective in children.
Before taking TURALIO, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:
  • have or had liver problems.
  • have kidney problems.
  • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. TURALIO may harm your unborn baby. If you are a female who is able to become pregnant:
    • Your healthcare provider will do a pregnancy test before you start treatment with TURALIO.
    • Females who are able to become pregnant should use effective non-hormonal birth control (contraception) during treatment with TURALIO and for 1 month after your final dose of TURALIO. Birth control pills (oral contraceptives) and other hormonal forms of birth control may not be effective if used during treatment with TURALIO. Talk with your healthcare provider about birth control methods you can use during this time.
    • Tell your healthcare provider right away if you become pregnant or think you are pregnant during treatment with TURALIO.
    If you are a male with a female partner who is able to become pregnant:
    • Use effective birth control (contraception) during treatment and for 1 week after your final dose of TURALIO.
    • Tell your healthcare provider right away if your female partner becomes pregnant or thinks she is pregnant during your treatment with TURALIO.
  • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. Do not breastfeed during treatment with TURALIO and for at least 1 week after your final dose of TURALIO.
Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Certain medicines may affect the way TURALIO works and TURALIO may affect how other medicines work. Taking TURALIO with certain medicines may increase the amount of TURALIO in your blood. This may make it more likely for you to develop side effects and may cause more severe side effects.
  • Avoid taking the following medicines or supplements during treatment with TURALIO because they can affect how TURALIO works:
    • Proton Pump Inhibitor medicines (PPIs)
    • St. John's wort
How should I take TURALIO?
  • Your healthcare provider will explain to you how you will receive your TURALIO.
  • Take TURALIO exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to.
  • TURALIO is usually taken 2 times a day. Your healthcare provider will tell you how much TURALIO to take and when to take it.
  • Take TURALIO with a low-fat meal (about 11 to 14 grams of total fat). Taking TURALIO with a high-fat meal increases the amount of TURALIO in your blood. This may make it more likely for you to develop side effects and may cause more severe side effects, including serious liver problems. See "What are the possible side effects of TURALIO?"
    • Talk with your healthcare provider about examples of foods that you can eat for a low-fat meal that contains about 11 to 14 grams of total fat.
    • Your healthcare provider may refer you to a dietician, if needed.
  • Swallow TURALIO capsules whole.
  • Do not open, break, or chew TURALIO capsules.
  • If you need to take an acid-reducing medicine, follow your healthcare provider's instructions for which medicine to take and when to take it.
    • If you take an antacid medicine: Take TURALIO either 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking an antacid medicine.
    • If you take an H2 receptor blocker medicine: Take TURALIO at least 2 hours before or 10 hours after taking an H2 receptor blocker medicine.
  • Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take. See the section "Before taking TURALIO, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you."
  • If you vomit after taking a dose, or if you miss a dose of TURALIO, take your next dose at your regular time.
What should I avoid while taking TURALIO?
  • Avoid grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice during treatment with TURALIO. Grapefruit or grapefruit juice can cause you to have too much TURALIO in your blood and may lead to increased side effects and more severe side effects.
  • Avoid spending prolonged time in sunlight. TURALIO can make your skin sensitive to the sun (photosensitivity), and you may burn more easily. You should use sunscreen and wear protective clothing that covers your skin to help protect against sunburn if you have to be in the sunlight during treatment with TURALIO.
What are the possible side effects of TURALIO?TURALIO can cause serious side effects.
  • See "What is the most important information I should know about TURALIO?"
  • There are possible risks if TURALIO is taken with a high-fat meal. Avoid taking TURALIO with a high-fat meal (about 55 to 65 grams of total fat). Taking TURALIO with a high-fat meal increases the amount of medicine in your blood. This may make it more likely for you to develop side effects and may cause more severe side effects, including serious liver problems. Take TURALIO with a low-fat meal (about 11 to 14 grams of total fat). See "How should I take TURALIO?"
The most common side effects of TURALIO include:
  • changes in blood liver tests
  • hair color changes
  • tiredness
  • increased cholesterol level in your blood
  • decreased white blood cells and red blood cells
  • swelling in or around your eyes
  • rash, itching, hives, skin redness, and acne
  • loss of taste or changes in the way things taste
  • decreased phosphate in your blood
TURALIO may affect fertility in females and males, which may affect your ability to have children. Talk to your healthcare provider if you have concerns about fertility.These are not all of the possible side effects of TURALIO.Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
How should I store TURALIO?
  • Store TURALIO at room temperature between 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C).
  • Keep the TURALIO container closed tightly.
  • TURALIO comes with a drying agent (desiccant) in the container. Keep the desiccant in the container.
Keep TURALIO and all medicines out of the reach of children.
General information about the safe and effective use of TURALIO Medicines are sometimes prescribed for purposes other than those uled in a Medication Guide. Do not use TURALIO for a condition for which it was not prescribed. Do not give TURALIO to other people, even if they have the same symptoms that you have. It may harm them. You can ask your pharmacist or healthcare provider for information about TURALIO that is written for health professionals.
