Overdosage of Solifenacin Succinate
Information about signs, symptoms, and laboratory findings of acute ovedosage and the general principles of overdose treatment.10 OVERDOSAGE Overdosage with solifenacin succinate tablets can potentially result in severe anticholinergic effects and should be treated accordingly. The highest dose ingested in an accidental overdose of solifenacin succinate was 280 mg in a 5-hour period. This case was associated with mental status changes. Some cases reported a decrease in the level of consciousness. Intolerable anticholinergic side effects (fixed and dilated pupils, blurred vision, failure of heel-to-toe exam, tremors and dry skin) occurred on day 3 in normal volunteers taking 50 mg daily (5 times the maximum recommended therapeutic dose) and resolved within 7 days following discontinuation of drug. In the event of overdose with solifenacin succinate tablets, treat with gastric lavage and appropriate supportive measures. ECG monitoring is also recommended.
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 most common adverse reactions (>4% and >placebo) were dry mouth, and constipation at both 5 mg and 10 mg doses; and urinary tract infection, and blurred vision at the 10 mg dose (6.1). To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact 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. Solifenacin succinate tablets have been evaluated for safety in 1811 patients in randomized, placebo-controlled trials. Expected adverse reactions of antimuscarinic agents are dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision (accommodation abnormalities), urinary retention, and dry eyes. The incidence of dry mouth and constipation in patients treated with solifenacin succinate tablets was higher in the 10 mg compared to the 5 mg dose group. In the four 12-week double-blind clinical trials, severe fecal impaction, colonic obstruction, and intestinal obstruction were reported in one patient each, all in the solifenacin succinate tablets 10 mg group. Angioneurotic edema has been reported in one patient taking solifenacin succinate tablets 5 mg. Compared to 12 weeks of treatment with solifenacin succinate tablets, the incidence and severity of adverse reactions were similar in patients who remained on drug for up to 12 months. The most frequent adverse reaction leading to study discontinuation was dry mouth (1.5%). Table 1 lists the rates of identified adverse reactions, derived from all reported adverse events, in randomized, placebo-controlled trials at an incidence greater than placebo and in 1% or more of patients treated with solifenacin succinate tablets 5 or 10 mg once daily for up to 12 weeks.

Solifenacin Succinate 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 Inhibitors of CYP3A4 may increase the concentration of solifenacin succinate tablets (7.1). Inducers of CYP3A4 may decrease the concentration of solifenacin succinate tablets (7.2). 7.1 Potent CYP3A4 Inhibitors Following the administration of 10 mg of solifenacin succinate tablets in the presence of 400 mg of ketoconazole, a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4, the mean C max and AUC of solifenacin increased by 1.5 and 2.7-fold, respectively. Therefore, it is recommended not to exceed a 5 mg daily dose of solifenacin succinate tablets when administered with therapeutic doses of ketoconazole or other potent CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. The effects of weak or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors were not examined. 7.2 CYP3A4 Inducers There were no in vivo studies conducted to evaluate the effect of CYP3A4 inducers on solifenacin succinate tablets. In vitro drug metabolism studies have shown that solifenacin is a substrate of CYP3A4. Therefore, inducers of CYP3A4 may decrease the concentration of solifenacin. 7.3 Drugs Metabolized by Cytochrome P450 At therapeutic concentrations, solifenacin does not inhibit CYP1A1/2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, or 3A4 derived from human liver microsomes. 7.4 Warfarin Solifenacin has no significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of R -warfarin or S -warfarin [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. 7.5 Oral Contraceptives In the presence of solifenacin there are no significant changes in the plasma concentrations of combined oral contraceptives (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. 7.6 Digoxin Solifenacin had no significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of digoxin (0.125 mg/day) in healthy subjects [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
Clinical pharmacology
Information about the clinical pharmacology and actions of the drug in humans.12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Solifenacin is a competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist. Muscarinic receptors play an important role in several major cholinergically mediated functions, including contractions of urinary bladder smooth muscle and stimulation of salivary secretion. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Cardiac Electrophysiology The effect of 10 mg and 30 mg solifenacin succinate on the QT interval was evaluated at the time of peak plasma concentration of solifenacin in a multi-dose, randomized, double-blind, placebo and positive-controlled (moxifloxacin 400 mg) trial. Subjects were randomized to one of two treatment groups after receiving placebo and moxifloxacin sequentially. One group (n=51) went on to complete 3 additional sequential periods of dosing with solifenacin 10, 20, and 30 mg while the second group (n=25) in parallel completed a sequence of placebo and moxifloxacin. Study subjects were female volunteers aged 19 to 79 years. The 30 mg dose of solifenacin succinate (three times the highest recommended dose) was chosen for use in this study because this dose results in a solifenacin exposure that covers those observed upon co-administration of 10 mg solifenacin succinate tablets with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. ketoconazole, 400 mg). Due to the sequential dose escalating nature of the study, baseline EKG measurements were separated from the final QT assessment (of the 30 mg dose level) by 33 days. The median difference from baseline in heart rate associated with the 10 and 30 mg doses of solifenacin succinate compared to placebo was -2 and 0 beats/minute, respectively. Because a significant period effect on QTc was observed, the QTc effects were analyzed utilizing the parallel placebo control arm rather than the pre-specified intra-patient analysis. Representative results are shown in Table 2. Table 2: QTc changes in msec (90%CI) from baseline at T max (relative to placebo) * Drug/Dose Fridericia method (using mean difference) Solifenacin 10 mg 2 (-3, 6) Solifenacin 30 mg 8 (4, 13) *Results displayed are those derived from the parallel design portion of the study and represent the comparison of Group 1 to time-matched placebo effects in Group 2 Moxifloxacin was included as a positive control in this study and, given the length of the study, its effect on the QT interval was evaluated in 3 different sessions. The placebo subtracted mean changes (90% CI) in QTcF for moxifloxacin in the three sessions were 11 (7, 14), 12 (8, 17), and 16 (12, 21), respectively. The QT interval prolonging effect appeared greater for the 30 mg compared to the 10 mg dose of solifenacin. Although the effect of the highest solifenacin dose (three times the maximum therapeutic dose) studied did not appear as large as that of the positive control moxifloxacin at its therapeutic dose, the confidence intervals overlapped. This study was not designed to draw direct statistical conclusions between the drugs or the dose levels. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Absorption After oral administration of solifenacin succinate tablets to healthy volunteers, peak plasma levels (C max ) of solifenacin are reached within 3 to 8 hours after administration, and at steady state ranged from 32.3 to 62.9 ng/mL for the 5 and 10 mg solifenacin succinate tablets, respectively. The absolute bioavailability of solifenacin is approximately 90%, and plasma concentrations of solifenacin are proportional to the dose administered. Effect of Food Solifenacin succinate tablets may be administered without regard to meals. A single 10 mg dose administration of solifenacin succinate tablets with food increased C max and AUC by 4% and 3%, respectively. Distribution Solifenacin is approximately 98% ( in vivo ) bound to human plasma proteins, principally to µ 1 -acid glycoprotein. Solifenacin is highly distributed to non-CNS tissues, having a mean steady-state volume of distribution of 600L. Metabolism Solifenacin is extensively metabolized in the liver. The primary pathway for elimination is by way of CYP3A4; however, alternate metabolic pathways exist. The primary metabolic routes of solifenacin are through N-oxidation of the quinuclidin ring and 4R-hydroxylation of tetrahydroisoquinoline ring. One pharmacologically active metabolite (4R-hydroxy solifenacin), occurring at low concentrations and unlikely to contribute significantly to clinical activity, and three pharmacologically inactive metabolites (N-glucuronide and the N-oxide and 4R-hydroxy-N-oxide of solifenacin) have been found in human plasma after oral dosing. Excretion Following the administration of 10 mg of 14 C-solifenacin succinate to healthy volunteers, 69.2% of the radioactivity was recovered in the urine and 22.5% in the feces over 26 days. Less than 15% (as mean value) of the dose was recovered in the urine as intact solifenacin. The major metabolites identified in urine were N-oxide of solifenacin, 4R-hydroxy solifenacin and 4R-hydroxy-N-oxide of solifenacin and in feces 4R-hydroxy solifenacin. The elimination half-life of solifenacin following chronic dosing is approximately 45 to 68 hours. Drug Interactions Potent CYP3A4 Inhibitors In a crossover study, following blockade of CYP3A4 by coadministration of the potent CYP3A4 inhibitor, ketoconazole 400 mg, once daily for 21 days, the mean C max and AUC of solifenacin increased by 1.5 and 2.7-fold, respectively [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) and Drug Interactions (7.1)] . Warfarin In a crossover study, subjects received a single oral dose of warfarin 25 mg on the 10 th day of dosing with either solifenacin 10 mg or matching placebo once daily for 16 days. For R -warfarin when it was coadministered with solifenacin, the mean C max increased by 3% and AUC decreased by 2%. For S -warfarin when it was coadministered with solifenacin, the mean C max and AUC increased by 5% and 1%, respectively [see Drug Interactions (7.4)]. Oral Contraceptives In a crossover study, subjects received 2 cycles of 21 days of oral contraceptives containing 30 ug ethinyl estradiol and 150 ug levonorgestrel. During the second cycle, subjects received additional solifenacin 10 mg or matching placebo once daily for 10 days starting from 12 th day of receipt of oral contraceptives. For ethinyl estradiol when it was administered with solifenacin, the mean C max and AUC increased by 2% and 3%, respectively. For levonorgestrel when it was administered with solifenacin, the mean C max and AUC decreased by 1% [see Drug Interactions (7.5)]. Digoxin In a crossover study, subjects received digoxin (loading dose of 0.25 mg on day 1, followed by 0.125 mg from days 2 to 8) for 8 days. Consecutively, they received solifenacin 10 mg or matching placebo with digoxin 0.125 mg for additional 10 days. When digoxin was coadministered with solifenacin, the mean C max and AUC increased by 13% and 4%, respectively [see Drug Interactions (7.6)].

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 Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Patient Information). Patients should be informed that antimuscarinic agents such as solifenacin succinate tablets have been associated with constipation and blurred vision. Patients should be advised to contact their physician if they experience severe abdominal pain or become constipated for 3 or more days. Because solifenacin succinate tablets may cause blurred vision, patients should be advised to exercise caution in decisions to engage in potentially dangerous activities until the drug’s effect on the patient’s vision has been determined. Heat prostration (due to decreased sweating) can occur when anticholinergic drugs, such as solifenacin succinate tablets, are used in a hot environment. Patients should read the patient leaflet entitled “Patient Information solifenacin succinate tablets” before starting therapy with solifenacin succinate tablets. Patients should be informed that solifenacin may produce angioedema, which could result in life-threatening airway obstruction. Patients should be advised to promptly discontinue solifenacin therapy and seek immediate attention if they experience edema of the tongue or laryngopharynx, or difficulty breathing.

Clinical studies
This field may contain references to clinical studies in place of detailed discussion in other sections of the labeling.14 CLINICAL STUDIES Solifenacin succinate tablets were evaluated in four twelve-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multicenter clinical trials for the treatment of overactive bladder in patients having symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency, and/or urge or mixed incontinence (with a predominance of urge). Entry criteria required that patients have symptoms of overactive bladder for ≥3 months duration. These studies involved 3027 patients (1811 on solifenacin succinate tablets and 1216 on placebo), and approximately 90% of these patients completed the 12-week studies. Two of the four studies evaluated the 5 and 10 mg solifenacin succinate tablets doses and the other two evaluated only the 10 mg dose. All patients completing the 12-week studies were eligible to enter an open label, long term extension study and 81% of patients enrolling completed the additional 40-week treatment period. The majority of patients were Caucasian (93%) and female (80%) with a mean age of 58 years. The primary endpoint in all four trials was the mean change from baseline to 12 weeks in number of micturitions/24 hours. Secondary endpoints included mean change from baseline to 12 weeks in number of incontinence episodes/24 hours, and mean volume voided per micturition. The efficacy of solifenacin succinate tablets was similar across patient age and gender. The mean reduction in the number of micturitions per 24 hours was significantly greater with solifenacin succinate tablets 5 mg (2.3; p<0.001) and solifenacin succinate tablets 10 mg (2.7; p<0.001) compared to placebo, (1.4). The mean reduction in the number of incontinence episodes per 24 hours was significantly greater with solifenacin succinate tablets 5 mg (1.5; p<0.001) and solifenacin succinate tablets 10 mg (1.8; p<0.001) treatment groups compared to placebo (1.1). The mean increase in the volume voided per micturition was significantly greater with solifenacin succinate tablets 5 mg (32.3 mL; p<0.001) and solifenacin succinate tablets 10 mg (42.5 mL; p<0.001) compared with placebo (8.5 mL). The results for the primary and secondary endpoints in the four individual 12-week clinical studies of solifenacin succinate tablets are reported in Tables 3 through 6.

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 placebo-controlled clinical studies, similar safety and effectiveness were observed between older (623 patients ≥65 years and 189 patients ≥75 years) and younger patients (1188 patients <65 years) treated with solifenacin succinate tablets. Multiple dose studies of solifenacin succinate tablets in elderly volunteers (65 to 80 years) showed that C max , AUC and t 1/2 values were 20 to 25% higher as compared to the younger volunteers (18 to 55 years).
Labor and delivery
Information about the drug’s use during labor or delivery, whether or not the use is stated in the indications section of the labeling, including the effect of the drug on the mother and fetus, on the duration of labor or delivery, on the possibility of delivery-related interventions, and the effect of the drug on the later growth, development, and functional maturation of the child.8.2 Labor and Delivery The effect of solifenacin succinate tablets on labor and delivery in humans has not been studied. There were no effects on natural delivery in mice treated with 1.2 times (30 mg/kg/day) the expected exposure at the maximum recommended human dose [MRHD] of 10 mg. Administration of solifenacin succinate at 3.6 times (100 mg/kg/day) the exposure at the MRHD or greater increased peripartum pup mortality.
Nursing mothers
Information about excretion of the drug in human milk and effects on the nursing infant, including pertinent adverse effects observed in animal offspring.8.3 Nursing Mothers After oral administration of 14 C-solifenacin succinate to lactating mice, radioactivity was detected in maternal milk. There were no adverse observations in mice treated with 1.2 times (30 mg/kg/day) the expected exposure at the maximum recommended human dose [MRHD]. Pups of female mice treated with 3.6 times (100 mg/kg/day) the exposure at the MRHD or greater revealed reduced body weights, postpartum pup mortality or delays in the onset of reflex and physical development during the lactation period. It is not known whether solifenacin is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, solifenacin succinate tablets should not be administered during nursing. A decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue solifenacin succinate tablets in nursing mothers.
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 The safety and effectiveness of solifenacin succinate tablets in pediatric patients 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 Pregnancy Category C There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Reproduction studies have been performed in mice, rats and rabbits. After oral administration of 14 C-solifenacin succinate to pregnant mice, drug-related material was shown to cross the placental barrier. No embryotoxicity or teratogenicity was observed in mice treated with 1.2 times (30 mg/kg/day) the expected exposure at the maximum recommended human dose [MRHD] of 10 mg. Administration of solifenacin succinate to pregnant mice at 3.6 times and greater (100 mg/kg/day and greater) the exposure at the MRHD, during the major period of organ development resulted in reduced fetal body weights. Administration of 7.9 times (250 mg/kg/day) the MRHD to pregnant mice resulted in an increased incidence of cleft palate. In utero and lactational exposures to maternal doses of solifenacin succinate of 3.6 times (100 mg/kg/day) the MRHD resulted in reduced peripartum and postnatal survival, reductions in body weight gain, and delayed physical development (eye opening and vaginal patency). An increase in the percentage of male offspring was also observed in litters from offspring exposed to maternal doses of 250 mg/kg/day. No embryotoxic effects were observed in rats at up to 50 mg/kg/day (<1 times the exposure at the MRHD) or in rabbits at up to 1.8 times (50 mg/kg/day) the exposure at the MRHD. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, solifenacin succinate tablets should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
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 and Nursing Mothers : Solifenacin succinate tablets should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit for the mother justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Solifenacin succinate tablets should not be administered during nursing (8.1, 8.3). Pediatric Use : The safety and effectiveness of solifenacin succinate tablets in pediatric patients have not been established (8.4). 8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Category C There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Reproduction studies have been performed in mice, rats and rabbits. After oral administration of 14 C-solifenacin succinate to pregnant mice, drug-related material was shown to cross the placental barrier.

Administration of solifenacin succinate to pregnant mice at 3.6 times and greater (100 mg/kg/day and greater) the exposure at the MRHD, during the major period of organ development resulted in reduced fetal body weights. Administration of 7.9 times (250 mg/kg/day) the MRHD to pregnant mice resulted in an increased incidence of cleft palate. In utero and lactational exposures to maternal doses of solifenacin succinate of 3.6 times (100 mg/kg/day) the MRHD resulted in reduced peripartum and postnatal survival, reductions in body weight gain, and delayed physical development (eye opening and vaginal patency). An increase in the percentage of male offspring was also observed in litters from offspring exposed to maternal doses of 250 mg/kg/day.

Multiple dose studies of solifenacin succinate tablets in elderly volunteers (65 to 80 years) showed that C max , AUC and t 1/2 values were 20 to 25% higher as compared to the younger volunteers (18 to 55 years). 8.6 Renal Impairment Solifenacin succinate tablets should be used with caution in patients with renal impairment. There is a 2.1-fold increase in AUC and 1.6-fold increase in t 1/2 of solifenacin in patients with severe renal impairment. Doses of solifenacin succinate tablets greater than 5 mg are not recommended in patients with severe renal impairment (CL cr <30 mL/min) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) and Dosage and Administration (2.2)]. 8.7 Hepatic Impairment Solifenacin succinate tablets should be used with caution in patients with reduced hepatic function. There is a 2-fold increase in the t 1/2 and 35% increase in AUC of solifenacin in patients with moderate hepatic impairment. Doses of solifenacin succinate tablets greater than 5 mg are not recommended in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B). Solifenacin succinate tablets are not recommended for patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) and Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. 8.8 Gender The pharmacokinetics of solifenacin is not significantly influenced by gender.
