APPROVED USES
AUSTEDO XR is a prescription medicine that is used to treat:
• the involuntary movements (chorea) of Huntington’s disease (HD). AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO does not cure the cause of the involuntary movements, & it does not treat other symptoms of HD, such as problems with thinking or emotions.
• movements in the face, tongue, or other body parts that cannot be controlled TD (tardive dyskinesia).
It is not known if AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO is safe & effective in children.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO can cause serious side effects in people with HD, including: depression, suicidal thoughts, or suicidal actions. Do not start taking AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO if you are depressed (have untreated depression or depression that is not well controlled by medicine) or have suicidal thoughts. Pay close attention to any changes, especially sudden changes, in mood, behaviors, thoughts or feelings. This is especially important when AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO is started & when the dose is changed. Call your doctor right away if you become depressed, have unusual changes in mood or behavior, or have thoughts of suicide.

See Important Safety Information below; Prescribing Information including Boxed Warning: https://bit.ly/3YhB0s9. AUSTEDO XR®/AUSTEDO® can cause depression, suicidal thoughts, or actions in patients with HD. Don’t use if you have liver problems; are taking reserpine, tetrabenazine, or valbenazine.
INDICATIONS & USAGE
AUSTEDO XR is indicated in adults for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington's disease (HD) & for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia (TD).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Depression & Suicidality in HD Patients: AUSTEDO XR can increase the risk of depression & suicidal thoughts & behavior (suicidality) in HD Patients. Balance the risks of depression & suicidality with the clinical need for treatment of chorea. Closely monitor patients for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Inform patients, their caregivers, & families of the risk of depression & suicidality & instruct them to report behaviors of concern promptly to the treating physician. Exercise caution when treating patients with a history of depression or prior suicide attempts or ideation. AUSTEDO XR is contraindicated in patients who are suicidal, & in patients with untreated or inadequately treated depression.
Contraindications: AUSTEDO XR is contraindicated in HD patients who are suicidal, or have untreated or inadequately treated depression. AUSTEDO XR is also contraindicated in: patients with hepatic impairment; patients taking reserpine or within 20 days of discontinuing reserpine; patients taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), or within 14 days of discontinuing MAOI therapy; & patients taking tetrabenazine or valbenazine.
Clinical Worsening & Adverse Events in HD Patients: AUSTEDO XR may cause a worsening in mood, cognition, rigidity, & functional capacity. Prescribers should periodically re-evaluate the need for AUSTEDO XR in their patients by assessing the effect on chorea & possible adverse effects.
QTc Prolongation: AUSTEDO XR may prolong the QT interval, but the degree of QT prolongation is not clinically significant when AUSTEDO XR is administered within the recommended dosage range. AUSTEDO XR should be avoided in patients with congenital long QT syndrome & in patients with a history of cardiac arrhythmias.
Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS), a potentially fatal symptom complex reported in association with drugs that reduce dopaminergic transmission, has been observed in patients receiving tetrabenazine. The risk may be increased by concomitant use of dopamine antagonists or antipsychotics. The management of NMS should include immediate discontinuation of AUSTEDO XR; intensive symptomatic treatment & medical monitoring; & treatment of any concomitant serious medical problems.
Akathisia, Agitation, & Restlessness: AUSTEDO XR may increase the risk of akathisia, agitation, & restlessness. The risk of akathisia may be increased by concomitant use of dopamine antagonists or antipsychotics. If a patient develops akathisia, the AUSTEDO XR dose should be reduced; some patients may require discontinuation of therapy.
Parkinsonism: AUSTEDO XR may cause parkinsonism in TD or HD patients. The risk of parkinsonism may be increased by concomitant use of dopamine antagonists or antipsychotics. If a patient develops parkinsonism, the AUSTEDO XR dose should be reduced; some patients may require discontinuation of therapy.
Sedation & Somnolence: Sedation is a common dose-limiting adverse reaction of AUSTEDO XR. Patients should not perform activities requiring mental alertness, such as operating a motor vehicle or hazardous machinery, until they are on a maintenance dose of AUSTEDO XR & know how the drug affects them. Concomitant use of alcohol or other sedating drugs may have additive effects & worsen sedation & somnolence.
Hyperprolactinemia: Tetrabenazine elevates serum prolactin concentrations in humans. If there is a clinical suspicion of symptomatic hyperprolactinemia, appropriate laboratory testing should be done & consideration should be given to discontinuation of AUSTEDO XR.
Binding to Melanin-Containing Tissues: Deutetrabenazine or its metabolites bind to melanin-containing tissues & could accumulate in these tissues over time. Prescribers should be aware of the possibility of long-term ophthalmologic effects.
Common Adverse Reactions: The most common adverse reactions for AUSTEDO (greater than 8% & greater than placebo) in a controlled clinical study in HD patients were somnolence, diarrhea, dry mouth, & fatigue. The most common adverse reactions for AUSTEDO (4% & greater than placebo) in controlled clinical studies in TD patients were nasopharyngitis & insomnia. Adverse reactions with AUSTEDO XR are expected to be similar to AUSTEDO.

Auvelity Dextromethorphan/ Buproprion for Depression treatment MDD in Philadelphia
Auvelity Dextromethorphan/ Buproprion for Depression treatment MDD in Philadelphia Side Effects 0 Views • 1 month ago

Auvelity (dextromethorphan/ buproprion) is an NMDA Antagonist and a newer type of medication used in the treatment of Depression (Major Depressive Disorder) at our Philadelphia office. This medication's primary effective agent is dextromethorphan (which is commonly used in cough medications / antitussives). The buproprion (also known as Wellbutrin) in this combination pill works to decrease the effectiveness of a liver enzyme that breaks down dextromethorphan (CYP2D6) thereby increasing the dextromethorphan blood concentration and allowing it to have a longer duration of action, than when it's used for colds (dextromethorphan breaks down relatively quickly). Wellbutrin is an antidepressant, but trials indicate that the dextromethorphan is the medication in this pill, the predominantly is resulting in improved mood. Dextromethorphan works as an N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) antagonist increasing Glutamate levels (again, this is a relatively novel pathway to treat depression). If an individual has failed several anti-depressants, utilizing a different method of treatment (or pathway for treatment) may be a good option. Side effects can include dizziness, nausea and headache (among others). Severe side effects can include elevated blood pressure, severe rash or others. However, most tolerate it well, with per manufacturer, less than a 15% discontinuation rate, due to side effects.

Please talk to your provider about all risks and benefits of this medication before starting, stopping or changing doses. This information is meant to educate providers and give patients more information to discuss with them about their options.

Demystifying Avonex: How It Works, Uses, and Potential Side Effects
Demystifying Avonex: How It Works, Uses, and Potential Side Effects Side Effects 0 Views • 1 month ago

Avonex is a medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). It is classified as an immunomodulator and is derived from a naturally occurring protein called interferon beta. Avonex is administered via intramuscular injection and is typically given once a week.
The main active ingredient in Avonex is interferon beta-1a, which is a synthetic version of a protein naturally produced by the body. Interferon beta plays a crucial role in regulating the immune system and reducing inflammation. By introducing interferon beta-1a into the body, Avonex helps to modulate the immune response, reducing the frequency and severity of MS relapses.
Avonex is known for its ability to slow down the progression of MS and reduce the number of relapses experienced by patients. It is not a cure for MS, but it can help manage the symptoms and improve overall quality of life for many individuals.
How does Avonex work?.
Avonex works by modulating the immune system and reducing inflammation in the central nervous system. In MS, the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers, known as the myelin sheath. This results in disruptions in the transmission of nerve signals, leading to various symptoms such as fatigue, muscle weakness, and coordination problems.
The interferon beta-1a in Avonex helps to regulate the immune response by suppressing the activity of immune cells that target the myelin sheath. It also promotes the production of anti-inflammatory molecules, which further reduces the inflammation in the central nervous system.
By modulating the immune response and reducing inflammation, Avonex helps to slow down the progression of MS and reduce the frequency and severity of relapses. It can also help improve overall function and quality of life for individuals with MS.
Uses of Avonex.
Avonex is primarily used for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). It is effective in reducing the frequency and severity of MS relapses, as well as slowing down the progression of the disease. Avonex has been shown to decrease the number of new brain lesions seen on MRI scans and delay the accumulation of disability in MS patients.
In addition to its primary use in MS, Avonex may also be prescribed off-label for other autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis. However, it is important to note that the FDA has not approved Avonex for these conditions, and its use in these cases should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
Avonex is not recommended for the treatment of primary progressive MS, as it has not been shown to be effective in this form of the disease. It is most commonly prescribed for individuals with relapsing-remitting MS, where there are periods of relapses followed by periods of remission.
Potential side effects of Avonex.
Like any medication, Avonex can cause side effects. The most common side effects include flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, muscle aches, and fatigue. These symptoms usually occur within 24 hours of taking the medication and may last for a few days. They tend to decrease in severity as the body adjusts to the medication.
Other potential side effects of Avonex include injection site reactions, such as redness, swelling, or pain at the injection site. These reactions are usually mild and transient, but if they persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional.
In rare cases, Avonex may cause more serious side effects, such as liver damage, depression, or suicidal thoughts. It is important to be aware of these potential risks and to seek medical attention if any unusual symptoms occur.
Who should not use Avonex?.
Avonex is not suitable for everyone. It is important to inform your healthcare professional about any pre-existing medical conditions, as well as any medications or supplements you are currently taking, before starting Avonex.
Avonex should not be used by individuals with a history of hypersensitivity to interferon beta or any of the other ingredients in the medication. It is also contraindicated in individuals with a history of liver disease or severe depression.

Sinemet vs Azilect: Parkinson's, the Battle for Control
Sinemet vs Azilect: Parkinson's, the Battle for Control Side Effects 0 Views • 1 month ago

Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder that affects the movement of the body. It is a complex condition that requires careful management to control its symptoms. Two commonly prescribed medications for Parkinson's disease are Sinemet and Azilect. While both drugs aim to alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson's, they work in different ways and have unique benefits.

Sinemet, also known as levodopa-carbidopa, is a combination medication that helps replenish the levels of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in movement control. Sinemet works by converting into dopamine in the brain, which helps improve motor function and reduce tremors, stiffness, and slowness. It is often considered the gold standard treatment for Parkinson's disease due to its effectiveness in managing symptoms.

Azilect, on the other hand, is a monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) inhibitor. MAO-B is an enzyme that breaks down dopamine in the brain. By inhibiting this enzyme, Azilect helps to prolong the effects of dopamine, leading to improved motor function. Unlike Sinemet, Azilect does not directly increase dopamine levels but rather prevents its breakdown. It is often used as an adjunct therapy to other Parkinson's medications or as a monotherapy in the early stages of the disease.

The choice between Sinemet and Azilect depends on various factors, such as the stage of the disease, the severity of symptoms, and the individual's response to the medication. In some cases, both drugs may be prescribed together to achieve optimal symptom control.

It's important to note that while these medications can provide significant relief, they are not without side effects. Sinemet may cause nausea, dizziness, or dyskinesia (involuntary movements) in some individuals. Azilect, on the other hand, may have side effects such as headache, joint pain, or flu-like symptoms. It is crucial to work closely with a healthcare professional to determine the right medication and dosage that suits an individual's specific needs.

In conclusion, Sinemet and Azilect are both valuable medications in the battle against Parkinson's disease. Sinemet replenishes dopamine levels in the brain, while Azilect inhibits the breakdown of dopamine. Each medication has its own unique benefits and considerations. Consulting with a healthcare professional is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for individuals with Parkinson's disease.

In 2024, What Are the Forms of Buprenorphine That Can Be Used for Restless Legs Syndrome?
In 2024, What Are the Forms of Buprenorphine That Can Be Used for Restless Legs Syndrome? Side Effects 0 Views • 1 month ago

Buprenorphine has become increasingly popular among experts in restless legs syndrome (RLS) for the treatment of moderate-to-severe RLS when opioid treatment is required. @andyberkowskimd of ReLACS Health describes the three main forms of buprenorphine that can be prescribed for RLS in this week's video.

To understand why buprenorphine may be a good choice among opioids, watch this video on buprenorphine treatment for RLS:
https://youtu.be/nCoKMINDiwk

Opioids are a mainstay of treatment for moderate-to-severe restless legs syndrome (RLS) when first-line medications have not worked. Buprenorphine is a unique opioid as it is a partial agonist at the mu-opioid receptor unlike most other opioids. The effect of this chemical difference is the reason buprenorphine has little risk of causing breathing problems that could lead to death in the event of a poisoning/overdose. This long-acting drug is also less likely to be abused, which is the reason it has become the go-to medication for treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). However, the same benefits for OUD can be seen in its use for restless legs syndrome.

For RLS, there is a lot of confusion over forms and dosing for RLS, which will be substantially lower than for OUD and generally lower than for pain conditions. The three prime forms of buprenorphine for RLS are under the tongue (sublingual), through a patch against the skin (transdermal), and against the cheek and gum (buccal). They each have their pros and cons and Dr. Berkowski discusses each.

The sublingual film or tablet (e.g. Suboxone®, Subutex®) dissolves under the tongue to enter the bloodstream. Some forms like Suboxone come with naloxone added, which is an opioid blocker that can deter abuse from illicit injection, but it is almost completely inactive when absorbed under the tongue. The benefit to this form is the generally low out-of-pocket cost, but the downside is that it has a much higher strength, as intended for opioid use disorder originally. Thus, for RLS, the Suboxone film is often cut into smaller portions, such as 1/8 or 1/4 of 2 mg buprenorphine as a starting dose, which also makes it more cumbersome to administer. Another downside is the lack of awareness among clinicians that Suboxone can be prescribed by any provider with a DEA license for indications of RLS and pain; no special XDEA license is needed. In fact, it is a Schedule III drug, so less highly regulated than others like hydrocodone (e.g. Norco®), oxycodone, or methadone.

The transdermal patch (Butrans®) comes in increments of 5 mcg/hr/week up to 20 mcg/hr/week. It is much less potent than Suboxone so ideal for starting at 5 mcg/hr/week for RLS. The benefit is also a consistent level of medicine in the body 24/7 (in theory) so no, even minor, ups and downs from taking it. The downside is the patch lasts 7 days and then switched so it makes dosing and a day-to-day changes less flexible. Also, it can occasionally cause skin irritation that the other preparations lack. It is more expensive out-of-pocket than Suboxone and other sublingual preparations.

The final form is the buccal film (Belbuca®) that is placed and dissolves between the cheek and gum. It comes in lower doses more appropriate for RLS but is probably the most expensive if not covered by insurance. It starts at 75 mcg and there are doses as high as 900 mcg, usually well beyond what is needed even for severe RLS.

Unfortunately, there are no good ways to compare the strength of each relative to each other. Even micrograms of one cannot be compare to micrograms of another so switching among forms may be challenging. Based on experience in RLS, a starting dose may be 1/8 Suboxone 2 mg film once daily, Belbuca 75 mcg once daily, or Butrans 5 mcg/hr/week, but the Suboxone may be stronger even at this dosage.

It is important to note that though buprenorphine has significantly lower risk of breathing problems, addiction, dependence, and other side effects than standard opioids, it is a DEA schedule III controlled substance. Misuse, overdose, abuse, and/or poisoning, particularly in combination with other drugs and substances can cause severe and potentially life-threatening effects not limited to severe impairment, shallow breathing, coma, and death. Buprenorphine can be used inappropriately for non-medical purposes, and there is a non-zero risk for dependence, even with appropriate use, though it has a significantly lower risk for dependence or abuse than standard opioids. Opioids like buprenorphine require strict supervision and management by a licensed medical practitioner.
