9 FDA NEWS/BULLETINS/ADVISORIES/SAFETY ALERTS Compounded Products Containing Triamcinolone-Moxifloxacin by Guardian Pharmacy Services (Dallas, Texas): Alert to Health Professionals - Adverse Events Reported After Receiving Eye Injections [Posted 06/14/2018] ISSUE: At least 43 patients reported adverse events after receiving eye injections of Guardian s Pharmacy Services compounded triamcinolone-moxifloxacin product during cataract surgery. The patients reportedly experienced various symptoms, including vision impairment, poor night vision, loss of color perception, and significant reductions in best-corrected visual acuity and visual fields. FDA identified multiple substances in Guardian s product, including poloxamer 407 and poloxamer 407 degradants. FDA prepared in-house samples of Guardian s product and found that autoclaving and sonication caused the poloxamer 407 to degrade. The amount of poloxamer 407 in Guardian s product (12%, g/100 ml) is much greater than the maximum amount of poloxamers in FDA-approved ophthalmic products for topical administration ( %, g/100 ml), and the safety profile of drug products intended for intravitreal injection containing poloxamer 407 is unknown. BACKGROUND: As part of its investigation into these adverse events, FDA collected and tested samples of Guardian s product to identify and quantify the substances contained therein. FDA also prepared and tested in-house samples to assess the impact of autoclaving and sonication, which were used by Guardian during its compounding process, on the stability of the drug product. Below is a description of the test results and the agency s analysis of those results. RECOMMENDATION: Compounding pharmacies should determine, based on the route of administration and the organ or tissue involved, whether the excipients are safe in the amount that will be present in the administered dose. One way to accomplish this is to use an excipient in an amount where scientific data support its safety, such as data supporting FDA approval of a comparable drug product with a similar concentration of the excipient. Compounding pharmacies also should consider whether the compounding process will generate degradants of such ingredients. Because compounded products are not evaluated by FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality, health professionals should consult the compounding pharmacy about the safety information related to the excipients in the compounded products they plan to inject into their patients. Healthcare professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of these products to the FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program: Complete and submit the report Online: Download form or call to request a reporting form, then complete and return to the address on the pre-addressed form, or submit by fax to FDA-0178 Source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Page 8

10 Fagron Sterile Services Issues Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Neostigmine Methylsulfate 1mg/mL, 5mg per 5mL and Neostigmine Methylsulfate 1mg/mL, 3mg per 3mL, in a 5mL syringe Due to Mislabeling [Posted 06/29/2018] Fagron Sterile Services is voluntarily recalling two (2) lots of Neostigmine Methylsulfate 5mL syringes to the user/hospital/clinic level. The specified product lots are being recalled because of a confirmed customer complaint that some syringe units containing Neostigmine Methylsulfate 1mg/mL, 5mg per 5mL are incorrectly labelled as Neostigmine Methylsulfate 1mg/mL, 3mg per 3mL. Secondary packages are properly labelled as Neostigmine Methylsulfate 1mg/mL, 5mg per 5mL. Risk Statement: In the event that 5mL rather than the intended 3mL is administered to a patient, adverse events from Neostigmine Methylsulfate overdosage can range from nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, excessive salivation and sweating, increased bronchial secretions, miosis, bradycardia or tachycardia, cardiospasm, bronchospasm, incoordination, muscle cramps, fasciculation, paralysis, to Cholinergic Crisis resulting in death. To date, Fagron has not received any reports of adverse events or injuries related to this recall. Neostigmine Methylsulfate Injection, USP is a cholinesterase inhibitor indicated for the reversal of the effects of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents after surgery supplied by Fagron Sterile Services in a single-use syringe and is produced by Fagron Sterile Services into 5mL or 3mL fill presentation of 1 mg/ml of Neostigmine Methylsulfate.

BACKGROUND: Fluoroquinolone antibiotics are approved to treat certain serious bacterial infections, and have been used for more than 30 years. They work by killing or stopping the growth of bacteria that can cause illness. Without treatment, some infections can spread and lead to serious health problems. Most fluoroquinolone antibiotic drug labels include a warning that blood sugar disturbances, including high blood sugar and low blood sugar and depending on the fluoroquinolone antibiotic class, a range of mental health side effects are already described under Central Nervous System Effects in the Warnings and Precautions section of the drug label, which differed by individual drug. RECOMMENDATION: The new label changes will add that low blood sugar levels, also called hypoglycemia, can lead to coma and the new label will also make the mental health side effects more prominent and more consistent across the systemic fluoroquinolone drug class. The mental health side effects to be added to or updated across all the fluoroquinolones are: disturbances in attention disorientation, agitation, nervousness memory impairment serious disturbances in mental abilities called delirium. FDA continues to monitor and evaluate the safety and effectiveness of medicines after we approve them and they go on the market. In the case of fluoroquinolones, we reviewed reports of cases submitted to FDA and the published medical literature of apparently healthy patients who experienced serious changes in mood, behavior, and blood sugar levels while being treated with systemic fluoroquinolones. Patients should tell your health care professionals if you are taking a diabetes medicine when your health care professional is considering prescribing an antibiotic, and also if you have low blood sugar or symptoms of it while taking a fluoroquinolone. For patients with diabetes, your health care professional may ask you to check your blood sugar more often while taking a fluoroquinolone. Early signs and symptoms of low blood sugar include: confusion pounding heart or very fast pulse Page 10

12 dizziness pale skin feeling shaky sweating unusual hunger trembling headaches weakness irritability unusual anxiety Health care professionals should be aware of the potential risk of hypoglycemia sometimes resulting in coma, occurring more frequently in the elderly and those with diabetes taking an oral hypoglycemic medicine or insulin. Alert patients of the symptoms of hypoglycemia and carefully monitor blood glucose levels in these patients, and discuss with them how to treat themselves if they have symptoms of hypoglycemia. Inform patients about the risk of psychiatric adverse reactions that can occur after just one dose. Stop fluoroquinolone treatment immediately if a patient reports any central nervous system side effects, including psychiatric adverse reactions, or blood glucose disturbances and switch to a nonfluoroquinolone antibiotic if possible. Stop fluoroquinolone treatment immediately if a patient reports serious side effects involving the tendons, muscles, joints, or nerves, and switch to a non-fluoroquinolone antibiotic to complete the patient s treatment course. Health care professionals should not prescribe fluoroquinolones to patients who have other treatment options for acute bacterial sinusitis, acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, and uncomplicated urinary tract infections because the risks outweigh the benefits in these patients. Health care professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of these products to the FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program: Complete and submit the report online: Download form or call to request a reporting form, then complete and return to the address on the pre-addressed form, or submit by fax to FDA-0178 Source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Page 11

Source: apnews.com FDA slaps new bladder cancer limits on Merck's Keytruda, Roche's Tecentriq June 22, 2018 Last month, the FDA warned that immuno-oncology stars from Merck and Roche might actually be hurting some previously untreated bladder cancer patients survival chances. And now, it s followed up by narrowing the drugs labels. The agency has restricted use of Merck s Keytruda and Roche s Tecentriq among patients with locally advanced or metastatic bladder cancer who aren t eligible for cisplatincontaining chemo. Specifically, within that population, Keytruda is now OK d only for patients whose tumors express levels of the biomarker PD-L1 that meet a combined positive score of 10 or higher. Tecentriq, meanwhile, can only be used for those whose PD-L1 immune cells cover 5% or more of their tumor area. Source: fiercepharma.com The Common Drug That May Make Opioid Overdose Five Times As Likely June 25, 2018 Opioid overdoses continue to increase, accounting for nearly two-thirds of all overdose deaths in the US, and a high percentage of those overdoses also include other drugs. A new study shows that the combination of opioids with one common class of drugs in particular is especially risky in the first 90 days of concurrent use. Those drugs are benzodiazepines (often called "benzos"), the class that includes Page 12

Source: propublica.org Betamethasone prevents human rhinovirus- and cigarette smoke- induced loss of respiratory epithelial barrier function June 26, 2018 The respiratory epithelium represents a first line of protection against airborne particles, including pathogens and allergens, and plays an important role in the regulation of airway inflammation and host defense1. The nasal and the bronchial epithelium are naturally exposed to a variety of different potentially damaging factors, which may injure the integrity of the mucosa by different mechanisms. Infections with respiratory viruses, exposure to cigarette smoke and/or exhaust fume as well as to protease-containing bioparticles and endogenous inflammatory factors are among the commonly encountered factors offending the respiratory tract. Source: nature.com Brain-protein structure could point way to safer prescription drugs June 27, 2018 The musician Tom Petty last year joined a long line of high-profile stars to hit the headlines for dying from an accidental overdose of prescription painkillers and tranquillizers. The risks of opioid painkillers dominate the news. But the other half of the deadly mixture in such overdose cases deserves attention, too. It s typically a medicine from a class of drugs called benzodiazepines or more colloquially benzos. Source: nature.com US hospitals grapple with prolonged injected opioid shortage June 27, 2018 There is another opioid crisis happening in the U.S., and it has nothing to do with the overdose epidemic: Hospitals are frequently running out of widely used injected painkillers. Manufacturing shortages are forcing many doctors and pharmacists to sometimes ration injected opioids, reserving Page 13
