Information about signs, symptoms, and laboratory findings of acute ovedosage and the general principles of overdose treatment.10 OVERDOSAGE 10.1 Symptoms of Baclofen Overdose With overdose of baclofen, patients may present in coma or with progressive drowsiness, lightheadedness, dizziness, somnolence, accommodation disorders, respiratory depression, seizures, or hypotonia progressing to loss of consciousness. 10.2 Treatment for Overdose The treatment of baclofen overdose includes gastric decontamination, maintaining an adequate airway and respirations.
Adverse reactions
Information about undesirable effects, reasonably associated with use of the drug, that may occur as part of the pharmacological action of the drug or may be unpredictable in its occurrence. Adverse reactions include those that occur with the drug, and if applicable, with drugs in the same pharmacologically active and chemically related class. There is considerable variation in the listing of adverse reactions. They may be categorized by organ system, by severity of reaction, by frequency, by toxicological mechanism, or by a combination of these.6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Adverse Reactions from Abrupt Withdrawal of FLEQSUVY [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Neonatal Withdrawal Symptoms [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Drowsiness and Sedation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Poor Tolerability in Stroke Patients [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] Exacerbation of Psychotic Disorders, Schizophrenia, or Confusional States [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] Exacerbation of Autonomic Dysreflexia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] Exacerbation of Epilepsy [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] Posture and Balance Effects [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )] Ovarian Cysts [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.9 )] The most common (up to 15% or more) adverse reactions in patients were drowsiness, dizziness, and weakness. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Azurity Pharmaceuticals at 1-800-461-7449 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 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 most common adverse reaction is transient drowsiness. In one controlled study of 175 patients, transient drowsiness was observed in 63% of those receiving baclofen compared to 36% of those in the placebo group. Other common adverse reactions (up to 15%) are dizziness and weakness. Adverse reactions with a frequency of ≥1% are listed in Table 1 . Table 1. Common (≥1%) Adverse Reactions in Patients Treated with Baclofen for Spasticity ADVERSE REACTION PERCENT Drowsiness 10-63% Dizziness 5-15% Weakness 5-15% Nausea 4-12% Confusion 1-11% Hypotension 0-9% Headache 4-8% Insomnia 2-7% Constipation 2-6% Urinary Frequency 2-6% Fatigue 2-4% The following adverse reactions not included in Table 1, classified by body system, were also reported: Neuropsychiatric: euphoria, excitement, depression, hallucinations, paresthesia, muscle pain, tinnitus, slurred speech, coordination disorder, tremor, rigidity, dystonia, ataxia, blurred vision, nystagmus, strabismus, miosis, mydriasis, diplopia, dysarthria, epileptic seizure Cardiovascular: dyspnea, palpitation, chest pain, syncope Gastrointestinal: dry mouth, anorexia, taste disorder, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and positive test for occult blood in stool Genitourinary: enuresis, urinary retention, dysuria, impotence, inability to ejaculate, nocturia, hematuria Other: rash, pruritus, ankle edema, excessive perspiration, weight gain, nasal congestion The following laboratory tests have been found to be abnormal in patients receiving baclofen: increased SGOT, elevated alkaline phosphatase, and elevation of blood sugar.
FLEQSUVY Drug Interactions
Information about and practical guidance on preventing clinically significant drug/drug and drug/food interactions that may occur in people taking the drug.7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 CNS Depressants and Alcohol FLEQSUVY can cause CNS depression, including drowsiness and sedation, which may be additive when used concomitantly with other CNS depressants or alcohol [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] .
Clinical pharmacology
Information about the clinical pharmacology and actions of the drug in humans.12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action The precise mechanism of action of baclofen is not fully understood. Baclofen inhibits both monosynaptic and polysynaptic reflexes at the spinal level, possibly by decreasing excitatory neurotransmitter release from afferent terminals, although actions at supraspinal sites may also occur and contribute to its clinical effect. Baclofen is a structural analog of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma- aminobutyric acid (GABA) and may exert its effects by stimulation of the GABA B receptor subtype. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Baclofen has been shown to have general CNS depressant properties, as indicated by the production of sedation with tolerance, somnolence, ataxia, and respiratory and cardiovascular depression [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 ), Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), and Overdosage ( 10.1 )] . 12.3 Pharmacokinetics A pharmacokinetic study in heathy adult male and female subjects under fasting conditions at 20 mg dose level demonstrated similar bioavailability for baclofen oral suspension and oral tablets. Absorption The peak plasma concentrations of baclofen were achieved in about 1 hour from administration of FLEQSUVY oral suspension in the fasted state, and the apparent elimination half-life is about 5.6 hours. Effect of Food Administration of FLEQSUVY with a high-fat meal resulted in 9% decrease in AUC and 33% decrease in C max compared to the fasted state. Elimination Baclofen is excreted primarily by the kidney in unchanged form, and there is relatively large intersubject variation in absorption and/or elimination.

FLEQSUVY: Information for patients
Information necessary for patients to use the drug safely and effectively, such as precautions concerning driving or the concomitant use of other substances that may have harmful additive effects.17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Administration Instructions Inform patients that FLEQSUVY is a concentrated formulation. Instruct patients or caregivers to use an oral dosing syringe and not to use a household teaspoon to correctly measure the prescribed amount of medication. Inform patients that oral dosing syringes may be obtained from their pharmacy. Instruct patients to shake before using [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 , 2.3 )] . Risks Related to Sudden Withdrawal of FLEQSUVY Advise patients and caregivers not to discontinue use of FLEQSUVY without consulting with their healthcare provider because sudden withdrawal of FLEQSUVY can result in serious complications that include hallucinations, seizures, high fever, confusion, muscle stiffness, multiple organ-system failure, and death [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Inform patients that early symptoms of FLEQSUVY withdrawal may include increased spasticity, itching, and tingling of extremities. Neonatal Withdrawal Symptoms Advise patients to notify their healthcare provider if they are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or plan to breastfeed [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ) and Use in Specific Populations ( 8.2 )] . Increased Risk of Drowsiness with Alcohol and Other CNS Depressants Advise patients that FLEQSUVY may cause drowsiness, and that they should avoid the operation of automobiles or other dangerous machinery, or activities made hazardous by decreased alertness when starting FLEQSUVY or increasing the dose until they know how the drug affects them [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] . Inform patients and their caregivers that the drowsiness associated with FLEQSUVY use can be worsened by alcohol and other CNS depressants. Advise patients to read all medicine labels carefully, and to tell their healthcare provider about all prescription and nonprescription drugs they may use. Storage Instruct patients to store FLEQSUVY at room temperature and to discard unused portion 2 months after first opening [see How Supplied/Storage and Handling ( 16.2 )] .
Clinical studies
This field may contain references to clinical studies in place of detailed discussion in other sections of the labeling.14 CLINICAL STUDIES The efficacy of FLEQSUVY is based upon a bioavailability study in healthy adults comparing baclofen oral tablets to FLEQSUVY [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .
Geriatric use
Information about any limitations on any geriatric indications, needs for specific monitoring, hazards associated with use of the drug in the geriatric population.8.5 Geriatric Use In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy. This drug is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of adverse reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6 )] .
Pediatric use
Information about any limitations on any pediatric indications, needs for specific monitoring, hazards associated with use of the drug in any subsets of the pediatric population (such as neonates, infants, children, or adolescents), differences between pediatric and adult responses to the drug, and other information related to the safe and effective pediatric use of the drug.8.4 Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 12 have not been established.
Pregnancy
Information about effects the drug may have on pregnant women or on a fetus. This field may be ommitted if the drug is not absorbed systemically and the drug is not known to have a potential for indirect harm to the fetus. It may contain information about the established pregnancy category classification for the drug. (That information is nominally listed in the teratogenic_effects field, but may be listed here instead.)8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no adequate data on the risk of major birth defects, miscarriages, or other maternal adverse outcomes associated with the use of FLEQSUVY in pregnant women. There are adverse effects on fetal outcomes associated with withdrawal from baclofen after delivery (see Clinical Considerations ) . Oral administration of baclofen to pregnant rats resulted in an increased incidence of fetal structural abnormalities at a dose that was also associated with maternal toxicity. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions FLEQSUVY may increase the risk of late-onset neonatal withdrawal symptoms [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . Data Animal Data Baclofen given orally has been shown to increase the incidence of omphaloceles (ventral hernias) in fetuses of rats given approximately 13 times on a mg/kg basis, or 3 times on a mg/m 2 basis, the maximum oral dose recommended for human use; this dose also caused reductions in food intake and weight gain in the dams. This abnormality was not seen in mice or rabbits.
Use in specific populations
Information about use of the drug by patients in specific populations, including pregnant women and nursing mothers, pediatric patients, and geriatric patients.8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy: Based on animal data, may cause fetal harm. ( 8.1 ) Because baclofen is excreted unchanged through the kidneys it may be necessary to reduce the dosage in patients with impaired renal function. ( 8.6 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no adequate data on the risk of major birth defects, miscarriages, or other maternal adverse outcomes associated with the use of FLEQSUVY in pregnant women. There are adverse effects on fetal outcomes associated with withdrawal from baclofen after delivery (see Clinical Considerations ) . Oral administration of baclofen to pregnant rats resulted in an increased incidence of fetal structural abnormalities at a dose that was also associated with maternal toxicity. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions FLEQSUVY may increase the risk of late-onset neonatal withdrawal symptoms [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . Data Animal Data Baclofen given orally has been shown to increase the incidence of omphaloceles (ventral hernias) in fetuses of rats given approximately 13 times on a mg/kg basis, or 3 times on a mg/m 2 basis, the maximum oral dose recommended for human use; this dose also caused reductions in food intake and weight gain in the dams. This abnormality was not seen in mice or rabbits. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary At recommended oral doses, baclofen is present in human milk. There are no human data on the effects of baclofen on milk production. Withdrawal symptoms can occur in breastfed infants when maternal administration of FLEQSUVY is stopped, or when breastfeeding is stopped [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . There are no adequate data on other effects of baclofen on the breastfed infant. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for FLEQSUVY and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from FLEQSUVY or from the underlying maternal condition. 8.4 Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 12 have not been established. 8.5 Geriatric Use In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy. This drug is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of adverse reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6 )] . 8.6 Renal Impairment Because baclofen is primarily excreted unchanged through the kidneys, FLEQSUVY should be given with caution to patients with renal impairment, and it may be necessary to reduce the dosage.
