Hypersensitivity to rifamycins
Cautions
Severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome have been reported in association with treatment regimens in patients with active and latent tuberculosis; discontinue therapy at first appearance of skin rash, mucosal lesions, or any other sign of hypersensitivity
Not for use as initial phase treatment in HIV-infected individuals with active pulmonary TB
Higher relapse rate may occur in patients with cavitary pulmonary lesions and/or positive sputum cultures after the initial phase of active TB treatment, and in patients with bilateral pulmonary disease
May produce a red-orange discoloration of body tissues/fluids (eg, skin, teeth, tongue, urine, feces, saliva, sputum, tears, sweat, CSF); contact lenses or dentures may become permanently stained
Porphyria reported in patients receiving rifampin, attributed to induction of delta amino levulinic acid synthetase; rifapentine may have similar enzyme induction properties; avoid in patients with history of porphyria
Hepatotoxicity
- Elevations of liver transaminases may occur in patients receiving therapy; patients on therapy should be monitored for symptoms of liver injury
- Patients with abnormal liver tests and/or liver disease or patients initiating treatment for active pulmonary tuberculosis should only be given this drug in cases of necessity and under strict medical supervision; in such patients, obtain serum transaminase levels prior to therapy and every 2-4 weeks while on therapy; discontinue therapy if evidence of liver injury occurs
Hypersensitivity reactions
- Hypersensitivity reactions may occur in patients receiving therapy; signs and symptoms of these reactions may include hypotension, urticaria, angioedema, acute bronchospasm, conjunctivitis, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia or flu-like syndrome (weakness, fatigue, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, headache, fever, chills, aches, rash, itching, sweats, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, cough, syncope, palpitations)
- There have been reports of anaphylaxis; monitor patients receiving therapy for signs and/or symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions; if these symptoms occur, administer supportive measures and discontinue therapy
Relapse in treatment of active pulmonary tuberculosis
- Therapy has not been evaluated as part of initial phase treatment regimen in HIV-infected patients with active pulmonary TB
- Do not administer as a once-weekly continuation phase regimen in HIV-infected patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis because of a higher rate of failure and/or relapse with rifampin-resistant organisms
- Higher relapse rates may occur in patients with cavitary pulmonary lesions and/or positive sputum cultures after initial phase of active tuberculosis treatment and in patients with evidence of bilateral pulmonary disease
- Monitor for signs and symptoms of TB relapse in these patients; poor adherence to therapy is associated with high relapse rate; emphasize importance of compliance with therapy
Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD)
- CDAD has been reported with use of nearly all systemic antibacterial agents, with severity ranging from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis; treatment with antibacterial agents can alter normal flora of colon and may permit overgrowth of C. difficile.
- C. difficile produces toxins A and B which contribute to development of CDAD; hypertoxin-producing strains of C. difficile cause increased morbidity and mortality, as these infections can be refractory to antimicrobial therapy and may require colectomy
- CDAD must be considered in all patients who present with diarrhea following antibacterial use; careful medical history is necessary because CDAD has been reported to occur over two months after administration of antibacterial agents
- If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, discontinue antibacterial use not directed against C. difficile if possible; institute appropriate measures such as fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibacterial treatment of C. difficile, and surgical evaluation as clinically indicated
Drug interaction overview
- Rifapentine is an inducer of CYP450 enzymes; concomitant use of rifapentine with other drugs metabolized by these enzymes, such as protease inhibitors, certain reverse transcriptase inhibitors, and hormonal contraception may cause a significant decrease in plasma concentrations and loss of therapeutic effect
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
No adequate and well-controlled studies have been performed in pregnant women
There are limited pregnancy outcome data reported from women enrolled in clinical trials of various rifapentine treatment regimens for active tuberculosis and latent tuberculosis infection
Reported rate of spontaneous abortion following exposure did not represent an increase over the background rate of spontaneous abortion reported in the general population; further interpretation of these data is limited by the quality of clinical trial adverse event reporting
When administered during the last few weeks of pregnancy, rifampin, another rifamycin product, increased risk for postnatal hemorrhages in the mother and infant for which treatment with vitamin K may be indicated
Contraception
- Therapy may reduce efficacy of hormonal contraceptives; advise patients using hormonal contraceptives to use an alternative non-hormonal contraceptive method or add a barrier method of contraception during treatment
Animal studies
- Rifapentine produced fetal harm and was teratogenic at doses less than and similar to the recommended human dose
- Animal studies in rats and rabbits revealed embryofetal toxicity in both species
- Pregnant rats given oral rifapentine during organogenesis at 40 mg/kg/day (0.6 times the human dose of 600 mg based on body surface area), produced pups with cleft palates, right aortic arch, increased incidence of delayed ossification, and increased numbers of ribs
- When rifapentine was administered orally to mated female rats late in gestation, at 20 mg/kg/day (0.3 times the human dose based on body surface area), pup weights and gestational survival (live pups born/pups born) were reduced compared to controls
- Increased resorptions and post implantation loss, decreased mean fetal weights, increased numbers of stillborn pups, and slightly increased pup mortality during lactation were also noted
- Pregnant rabbits receiving oral rifapentine at 10-40 mg/kg (0.3-1.3 times the human dose based on body surface area), major fetal malformations occurred including: ovarian agenesis, pes varus, arhinia, microphthalmia and irregularities of the ossified facial tissues; at the higher dose, there were increases in postimplantation loss and the incidence of stillborn pups
Lactation
Unknown if excreted in human milk
May produce a red-orange discoloration of body fluids; potential for discoloration of breast milk
A slight increase in rat pup mortality was observed during lactation when dams were dosed late in gestation through lactation
A decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother
Monitor infants exposed to drug through breast milk for signs of hepatotoxicity to include irritability, prolonged unexplained crying, yellowing of the eyes, loss of appetite, vomiting, and changes in color of urine (darkening) or stool (lightening, pale or light brown)
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology
