Warnings
Black Box Warnings
Hepatotoxicity
- 3-fold ULN elevation of ALT and AST in ~11% of patients observed
- Measure serum aminotransferase levels (and bilirubin if aminotransferase levels elevated) at baseline & then monthly
- Rare cases of unexplained hepatic cirrhosis reported after prolonged therapy (>12 months)
- Avoid in patients with elevated aminotransferase levels (>3X ULN) at baseline because monitoring liver injury may be more difficult
- Elevations of AST/ALT associated with treatment are dose-dependent; elevated levels may reverse spontaneously while continuing treatment
- Discontinue drug if liver aminotransferase elevations accompanied by clinical symptoms of liver injury (eg, nausea, vomiting, fever, abdominal pain, jaundice, unusual lethargy or fatigue) or increases in bilirubin >2X ULN
Pregnancy Contraindication
- Likely to produce serious birth defects if used by pregnant women; this effect has been seen consistently when administered to animals
- Negative pregnancy test result required before initiating & prevention of pregnancy required thereafter
- Advise the use of at least 2 reliable methods of contraception (unless tubal sterilization or Copper T 380A IUD or LNg 20 IUD inserted, in which case no other contraception required)
- Obtain monthly pregnancy tests
Restricted Distribution Program
- Because of risks of liver injury and birth defects, available only through restricted distribution program called the Tracleer REMS program; available at www.Tracleerrems.com or 1-866-228-3546
- Healthcare professionals who prescribe bosentan must review educational materials, enroll in the Tracleer REMS program and comply with its requirements
- Healthcare professionals must review serum ALT/AST and bilirubin; agree to order/monitor tests monthly; confirm females of reproduction potential are no pregnant, and agree to order/monitor pregnancy tests monthly
- To receive bosentan, all patients must understand the risks and benefits, complete a patient enrollment form
- Pharmacies that dispense bosentan must enroll in the program and agree to comply with the Tracleer REMS Program requirements
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity
Pregnancy
Concomitant cyclosporine or glyburide use
Cautions
Hypersensitivity of bosentan; observed reactions include Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS), anaphylaxis, rash, and angioedema
Pulmonary edema may occur; if signs/symptoms arise, consider possibly associated with pulmonary venoocclusive disease and whether treatment should be discontinued
Embryo-fetal toxicity reported; see Black Box Warnings and Pregnancy
Decreased sperm counts have been observed; preclinical data also suggest bosentan and other endothelin receptor antagonists, may have an adverse effect on spermatogenesis
Dose-related decrease in hemoglobin and hematocrit may occur with treatment; it is recommended that hemoglobin concentrations be checked after 1, 3 months, and every 3 months thereafter; if a marked decrease in hemoglobin concentration occurs, further evaluation should be undertaken to determine cause and need for specific treatment
Hepatotoxicity
- ALT or AST > 3 x ULN reported; elevations of AST or ALT associated with this medication are dose-dependent, occur both early and late in treatment, usually progress slowly, are typically asymptomatic, and usually have been reversible after treatment interruption or cessation
- Aminotransferase elevations may reverse spontaneously while continuing treatment this medication; liver aminotransferase levels must be measured prior to initiation of treatment and then monthly and therapy adjusted accordingly
- Discontinue therapy if liver aminotransferase elevations are accompanied by clinical symptoms of hepatotoxicity (such as nausea, vomiting, fever, abdominal pain, jaundice, or unusual lethargy or fatigue) or increases in bilirubin ≥ 2 x ULN
- Avoid initiation of therapy in patients with elevated aminotransferases (> 3 x ULN) prior to drug initiation because monitoring hepatotoxicity in these patients may be more difficult
- In WHO Functional Class II patients, consider whether the benefits are sufficient to offset risk of hepatotoxicity, which may preclude future use as their disease progresses
Fluid retention
- Peripheral edema is a known clinical consequence of PAH, worsening PAH, and is also a known effect of bosentan and other endothelin receptor antagonists
- In clinical trials with bosentan, combined adverse events of fluid retention or edema were reported
- Patients required intervention with a diuretic, fluid management, or hospitalization for decompensating heart failure
- If clinically significant fluid retention develops, with or without associated weight gain, further evaluation should be undertaken to determine whether treatment-related or possible underlying heart failure, and consider need for treatment or discontinuation of bosentan
- Monitor hemoglobin levels after 1, 3 months of treatment, then every 3 months thereafter
Drug interactions overview
- Bosentan is metabolized by CYP2C9 and CYP3A; inhibition of these enzymes may increase the plasma concentration of bosentan
- Concomitant administration of a CYP2C9 inhibitor (eg, fluconazole, amiodarone), a strong CYP3A inhibitor (eg, ketoconazole, itraconazole) or a moderate CYP3A inhibitor (eg, amprenavir, erythromycin, fluconazole, diltiazem) will likely lead to large increases in plasma concentrations of bosentan
- Coadministration of such combinations of a CYP2C9 inhibitor plus a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor with bosentan is not recommended
- Bosentan is an inducer of CYP3A and CYP2C9; plasma concentrations of drugs metabolized by these two isozymes will be decreased when coadministered bosentan
- Reduces efficacy of hormonal contraceptives
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
Based on animal data, bosentan may cause fetal harm, including birth defects and fetal death, when administered to a pregnant female and is contraindicated during pregnancy; see Contraindications and Black Box Warnings
In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of bosentan to pregnant rats at 2 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) on a mg/m2 basis caused teratogenic effects in rats (eg, malformations of the head, mouth, face, and large blood vessels)
Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus
Patient should contact her physician immediately for pregnancy testing if onset of menses is delayed or pregnancy is suspected
If the pregnancy test is positive, the physician and patient must discuss the risks to her, the pregnancy, and the fetus
Based on findings in animals, bosentan may impair fertility in males of reproductive potential; It is unknown whether effects on fertility would be reversible
Contraception, see Black Box Warnings
Lactation
There are no data on the presence of bosentan in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effect on milk production
Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions, such as fluid retention and hepatotoxicity, in breastfed infants from bosentan, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with bosentan
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

If you live in Canada or any other country, consult your doctor and pharmacist for your country's regulations.
USES: Bosentan is used to treat high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary arterial hypertension). This condition is thought to be caused by increased levels of a certain natural substance (endothelin-1). This medication blocks the effects of endothelin-1, which helps lower blood pressure in the lungs, slow the worsening of symptoms from the disease, and improve your ability to exercise.
HOW TO USE: Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start using bosentan and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily (in the morning and evening). If half tablets are needed for your dose, break the tablets along the score line. Do not break the tablets into quarters. Put the tablet(s) in a small amount of water to dissolve.
