            Warnings

            Contraindications

            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.

            RIFAPENTINE - ORAL

            (riff-uh-PEN-teen)

            COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Priftin

            USES: This medication is used with other medications to treat active tuberculosis (TB) of the lungs. It may also be used with another medication (isoniazid) to prevent active TB infections in people who are infected with the bacteria (people with positive TB skin test). Rifapentine is known as a rifamycin antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections.

            HOW TO USE: Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking rifapentine and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.Take this medication by mouth with food as directed by your doctor, usually once or twice weekly. Taking this medication with food will help to decrease side effects such as stomach upset, nausea, and vomiting and also increase the absorption of this medication.The dosage is based on your weight, medical condition, and response to treatment.For the best effect, take this antibiotic at evenly spaced times. To help you remember, take it on the same day(s) of the week and at the same time each day. Mark the days on the calendar when you need to take the medication.Continue to take this medication (and other TB medications) until the full prescribed amount is finished, even if symptoms disappear. Stopping the medication too early or skipping doses may result in a return of the infection and cause the infection to be more difficult to treat (resistant).Tell your doctor if your condition lasts or gets worse.

            SIDE EFFECTS: Stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, or headache may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.This medication may cause urine, sweat, saliva, or tears to turn reddish. This effect is harmless and will disappear when the medication is stopped. However, dentures and contact lenses may be permanently stained.Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: symptoms of liver disease (such as nausea/vomiting that doesn't stop, unusual tiredness/weakness, severe stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing eyes/skin, dark urine), painful/swollen joints, dark/bloody urine, easy bleeding/bruising, unusual tiredness.This medication may rarely cause a severe intestinal condition due to a bacteria called C. difficile. This condition may occur during treatment or weeks to months after treatment has stopped. Tell your doctor right away if you develop: diarrhea that doesn't stop, abdominal or stomach pain/cramping, blood/mucus in your stool.If you have these symptoms, do not use anti-diarrhea or opioid products because they may make symptoms worse.A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: fever that doesn't go away, new or worsening lymph node swelling, rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.In the US -Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.

            PRECAUTIONS: Before taking rifapentine, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to other rifamycins (such as rifampin); or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: HIV infection, a certain blood disorder (porphyria), liver disease, alcohol use.Alcohol may increase the risk of liver disease. Avoid alcoholic beverages while using this medication.Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).Rifapentine may cause live bacterial vaccines (such as typhoid vaccine) to not work well. Tell your health care professional that you are using rifapentine before having any immunizations/vaccinations.During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. When this drug is taken during the last few weeks of pregnancy, the risk of bleeding in both mother and infant may be increased. Tell your doctor right away if you notice any bleeding in your newborn. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.It is unknown if rifapentine passes into breast milk. However, similar drugs pass into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

            DRUG INTERACTIONS: Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.Rifapentine can speed up the removal of other medications from your body, which may affect how they work. Examples of affected drugs include asunaprevir, digoxin, phenytoin, ranolazine, tacrolimus, "blood thinners" (such as warfarin), calcium channel blockers (such as diltiazem, verapamil), HIV NNRTIs (such as etravirine, nevirapine), HIV protease inhibitors (such as atazanavir, darunavir), among others.This medication may decrease the effectiveness of hormonal birth control such as pills, patch, or ring. This could cause pregnancy. Discuss with your doctor or pharmacist if you should use additional reliable birth control methods while using this medication. Also tell your doctor if you have any new spotting or breakthrough bleeding, because these may be signs that your birth control is not working well.This medication may interfere with certain lab tests (such as folate and vitamin B12 levels), possibly causing false test results.
