1 Improved acute pain management starts here 1 Indication OFIRMEV is indicated for the management of mild to moderate pain; the management of moderate to severe pain with adjunctive opioid analgesics; and the reduction of fever. Important Safety Information OFIRMEV is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment, severe active liver disease or with known hypersensitivity to acetaminophen or to any of the excipients in the formulation. Acetaminophen should be used with caution in patients with the following conditions: hepatic impairment or active hepatic disease, alcoholism, chronic malnutrition, severe hypovolemia, or severe renal impairment. OFIRMEV is approved for use in patients 2 years of age. Please see full Prescribing Information.
2 Treatment of acute pain remains suboptimal Opioids have historically been the foundation for acute pain management 2 In a 212 research database of 1,665,418 patients, 72% of inpatients treated with IV analgesia received IV opioid monotherapy 2 72% opioid only 28% other n=1,25,744 n=459,674 Opioid analgesics rank among the drugs most frequently associated with adverse events 3,4 Patients continue to report significant post-op pain despite the availability of effective analgesics 5,6 Post-op pain severity: 212 vs 1995 % adult patients reporting pain (n=3) 1995 (n=5) Moderate to extreme None to slight In a 212 survey, approximately 85% of patients reported post-op pain, with a total of 65% reporting pain as moderate to extreme 6 8% of patients who received analgesic medications reported adverse events; the most common adverse events reported were drowsiness (56%), constipation (35%), and nausea (28%) 6 OFIRMEV (acetaminophen) injection is indicated for the management of mild to moderate pain; the management of moderate to severe pain with adjunctive opioid analgesics; and the reduction of fever.

3 ACUTE PAIN MANAGEMENT Multimodal analgesia can help optimize pain management with less opioids 4,7 Consider a multimodal approach for balanced pain management Multimodal analgesia combines 2 or more analgesic agents or techniques that act by different mechanisms to provide analgesia with better pain relief and less opioids 4,7 Opioids 8 α 2 -agonists 8 Acetaminophen 9 NMDA antagonists 1 Local anesthetics 8 Opioids 8 α 2 -agonists 8 Local anesthetics 8 NSAIDs 8 COXIBs 8 NMDA=N-methyl-D-aspartate. When used in combination with opioids, non-opioid treatments may reduce the dose of opioids required to effectively manage pain 3 Non-pharmacologic therapies: Acupuncture Ice Manipulation or massage Music therapy Physical therapy + Non-opioid pharmacologic therapies: Acetaminophen Anticonvulsants Antidepressants Muscle relaxants NSAIDs GOAL Reduced opioid use Use caution when administering acetaminophen in patients with the following conditions: Hepatic impairment or active hepatic disease, alcoholism, chronic malnutrition, severe hypovolemia, or severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance 3 ml/min) 3
4 Multimodal analgesia is widely supported The multimodal concept is supported by numerous professional and regulatory organizations 212 American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Guideline Recommendations for Acute Pain Management Whenever possible, anesthesiologists should use multimodal pain management therapy. Unless contraindicated, patients should receive an around the clock regimen of COXIBs, NSAIDs, or acetaminophen American Society for Pain Management Nursing (ASPMN) Guideline Recommendations for Analgesic Pharmacotherapy Nurses should act as strong advocates for pain management plans that incorporate opioid dose-sparing strategies initiated early in the course of treatment, eg, on admission, before surgery, during surgery, and early after surgery. Multimodal analgesic therapy that combines opioids with nonopioids, eg, acetaminophen, NSAIDs, anticonvulsants, and antidepressants, has proven efficacy in the treatment of pain Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Handbook for Nurses The objective for postsurgical and procedural pain is to prevent and control pain...a multimodal approach (balanced analgesia), which includes opioids, nonopioids such as NSAIDs, and adjuvant medications such as anticonvulsants, is recommended...when more than one analgesic is used, the same level of pain relief may be achieved with a lower dose of each analgesic Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Clinical Practice Guidelines We suggest that nonopioid analgesics be considered to decrease the amount of opioids administered (or to eliminate the need for IV opioids altogether)...for non-neuropathic pain, nonopioids such as IV acetaminophen, oral, IV, or rectal cyclooxygenase inhibitors, or IV ketamine can be used in addition to opioids. Using nonopioids may also decrease the overall quantity of opioids administered and the incidence and severity of opioid-related side effects The Joint Commission (TJC) Sentinel Event Alert A multimodal approach combines strategies such as psychosocial support, coordination of care, the promotion of healthful behaviors, nonpharmacologic approaches, and nonopioid pain medications. Upon assessment, the best approach may be to start with a non-narcotic. 3 OFIRMEV (acetaminophen) injection is indicated for the management of mild to moderate pain; the management of moderate to severe pain with adjunctive opioid analgesics; and the reduction of fever.

5 Multimodal analgesia in practice American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) guidelines 7 The ASA Task Force recommends the use of multimodal analgesia whenever possible in the perioperative setting 7 Patients should receive an around-the-clock regimen of acetaminophen, NSAIDs, or COX-2 inhibitors unless contraindicated 7 Dosing regimens should be administered to optimize efficacy while minimizing the risk of adverse events 7 MULTIMODAL ANALGESIA Multimodal analgesia can help manage different levels of pain across the perioperative setting 7,14 Step 3: Severe Pain Step 1 + Step 2 and Higher doses of opioids Step 2: Moderate Pain Step 1 and Low doses of opioids Step 1: Mild Pain Acetaminophen, NSAIDs, or COX-2 selective inhibitors and Local/regional anesthesia Non-opioids, such as acetaminophen, NSAIDs, or COX-2 selective inhibitors, are the foundational analgesic agents given perioperatively for the management of pain; opioids are added for moderate to severe pain 7,14 OFIRMEV is contraindicated in: Patients with severe hepatic impairment or severe active liver disease 5
6 In pharmacokinetic studies Rapid onset of action with IV acetaminophen OFIRMEV 1 g demonstrated early and high C max at 15 minutes 15,16 Mean plasma concentrations of OFIRMEV 1 g and oral acetaminophen 1 g Mean plasma concentration (μg/ml) Time to reach C max (T max ) 3 minutes faster than oral acetaminophen Time (h) 4 OFIRMEV 1 g (N=38) Oral acetaminophen 1 g (N=38) 6 Open-label, single-center, randomized, 4-period crossover pharmacokinetic study involving healthy adult males (N=38). Subjects received a total of 8 doses each of OFIRMEV 1 g q6h, OFIRMEV 1 g q4h, oral acetaminophen 1 g q6h, and oral acetaminophen 1 g q4h divided among 4 treatment periods (results for the first 6-h dosing period shown at left). Primary endpoint: the comparative exposure of OFIRMEV and oral acetaminophen (rapid-release liquid formulation). OFIRMEV was administered as a 15-minute infusion. C max occurs at the end of the 15-minute IV infusion of OFIRMEV 16 Overall exposure (AUC) after a single dose was similar to oral acetaminophen 15,16 No significant accumulation with repeated dosing 15,16 Begin your IV analgesic regimen with OFIRMEV Rapid onset of action Early and high C max No first-pass hepatic exposure 16 1% bioavailability 16 Do not exceed the maximum recommended daily dose of 4 g of acetaminophen by all routes OFIRMEV (acetaminophen) injection is indicated for the management of mild to moderate pain; the management of moderate to severe pain with adjunctive opioid analgesics; and the reduction of fever.

7 In pharmacokinetic studies Greater peak levels with IV acetaminophen OFIRMEV 1 g was associated with greater peak plasma levels 17 Mean plasma concentration (μg/ml) Mean plasma concentrations Time (h) *Rectal acetaminophen data reflect standardization of the 13-mg dose to 1 g (linear kinetics). OFIRMEV 1 g (n=6) Oral acetaminophen 1 g (n=6) Rectal acetaminophen 1 g* (n=6) Peak plasma concentrations were 76% higher than oral acetaminophen (P=.4) and 256% higher than rectal acetaminophen (P<.1) 17 Efficacy was not assessed in this study 5 6 Singla et al Three-way, crossover, single-center, single-dose pharmacokinetic study of 6 healthy adult males. Each received 3 singledose treatments of IV, oral, and rectal acetaminophen, separated by a washout period of 24 h. Treatment dosage was 1 g IV and oral acetaminophen, and 13 mg rectal. IV acetaminophen was administered over 15 minutes commencing at h. CSF and blood draws were performed prior to study medication administration and at 8 additional time points for 6 h in each treatment period. PHARMACOKINETICS OFIRMEV 1 g was associated with greater cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels 17 Mean CSF concentrations 6 5 OFIRMEV 1 g (n=6) Oral acetaminophen 1 g (n=6) Rectal acetaminophen 1 g* (n=6) Mean CSF concentration (μg/ml) Time (h) Singla et al Three-way, crossover, single-center, single-dose pharmacokinetic study of 6 healthy adult males. Each received 3 singledose treatments of IV, oral, and rectal acetaminophen, separated by a washout period of 24 h. Treatment dosage was 1 g IV and oral acetaminophen, and 13 mg rectal. IV acetaminophen was administered over 15 minutes commencing at h. CSF and blood draws were performed prior to study medication administration and at 8 additional time points for 6 h in each treatment period. *Rectal acetaminophen data reflect standardization of the 13-mg dose to 1 g (linear kinetics). Peak CSF concentrations were 6% higher than oral acetaminophen (P<.1) and 87% higher than rectal acetaminophen (P<.1). No significant difference was seen between oral and rectal groups. 17 Efficacy was not assessed in this study 7
8 Altered gastric emptying may result in changes in the rate of absorption of orally administered drugs Several factors may diminish gastric function following surgery Contributing Factors Opioids Compromised Gastric Function Significant delay in gastric emptying Surgery Pyloric narrowing or closure Anesthesia Subsequent intestinal absorption of nutrients/ medication inhibited Stress Fasting Significant delays in gastric emptying occur with the administration of IV opioid analgesics 18 Absorption of oral acetaminophen is diminished due to compromised gastric function 18,19 OFIRMEV (acetaminophen) injection is indicated for the management of mild to moderate pain; the management of moderate to severe pain with adjunctive opioid analgesics; and the reduction of fever. Please see full Prescribing Information. 8
9 Effect of opioids on gastric emptying and oral absorption in surgical patients Opiate-related pyloric narrowing or closure led to decreased concentration levels of oral acetaminophen 19 Peak plasma levels of oral acetaminophen on Day 1 Peak plasma concentrations (μg/ml) Cardiac surgery patients who received opioids (nasogastric tube) (n=16) 16.5 Healthy volunteers (n=6) Berger et al Prospective pharmacokinetic study conducted in patients who underwent cardiac surgery (n=16) and healthy volunteers who served as controls (n=6) to assess intestinal absorption as a function of placement of tube insertion. As a marker to assess absorption, 1 g of acetaminophen in liquid formulation was administered on post-op days 1 and 3 through a nasogastric (n=11) or postpyloric tube (n=5). GASTRIC EMPTYING/ GI ABSORPTION Oral acetaminophen absorption was decreased following nasogastric administration due to opioid use 19 Morphine markedly delayed the absorption of oral acetaminophen 18 Mean pre-op and post-op plasma concentrations Mean plasma concentration (μg/ml) Oral acetaminophen without morphine (12 h pre-op) (n=7) 3 45 Time (minutes) Oral acetaminophen with morphine (Post-op) (n=8) Petring et al Randomized, double-blind, pharmacokinetic study involving 15 patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery with spinal anesthesia. Upon first complaint of post-op pain, patients were randomized to receive a single dose of intramuscular morphine 1 mg (n=8) or a single dose of intramuscular ketorolac 3 mg (n=7). Oral acetaminophen solution 2 mg/kg was administered twice in each patient as a marker, at least 12 h before scheduled surgery (pre-op) and 3 minutes after administration of morphine (post-op). Post-op plasma concentrations of oral acetaminophen (when used as a marker for gastric absorption) were significantly lower than pre-op values (P<.1) in patients who received opioids following surgery 18 Post-op C max and T max of oral acetaminophen could not be determined following morphine administration due to a marked delay in absorption 18 9

HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLING *Sections or subsections omitted from the full prescribing information are not listed. FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE OFIRMEV (acetaminophen) injection is indicated for the management of mild to moderate pain the management of moderate to severe pain with adjunctive opioid analgesics the reduction of fever. 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION 2.1 General Dosing Information OFIRMEV may be given as a single or repeated dose for the treatment of acute pain or fever. No dose adjustment is required when converting between oral acetaminophen and OFIRMEV dosing in adults and adolescents. The maximum daily dose of acetaminophen is based on all routes of administration (i.e. intravenous, oral, and rectal) and all products containing acetaminophen. 2.2 Recommended Dosage: Adults and Adolescents Adults and adolescents weighing 5 kg and over: the recommended dosage of OFIRMEV is 1 mg every 6 hours or 65 mg every 4 hours, with a maximum single dose of OFIRMEV of 1 mg, a minimum dosing interval of 4 hours, and a maximum daily dose of acetaminophen of 4 mg per day. Adults and adolescents weighing under 5 kg: the recommended dosage of OFIRMEV is 15 mg/kg every 6 hours or 12.5 mg/kg every 4 hours, with a maximum single dose of OFIRMEV of 15 mg/kg, a minimum dosing interval of 4 hours, and a maximum daily dose of acetaminophen of 75 mg/kg per day. Table 1: Dosing for Adults and Adolescents Age group Dose given Dose given Maximum Maximum total every 4 hours every 6 hours single dose daily dose of acetaminophen (by any routes) Adults and adolescents (13 years and older) weighing Adults and adolescents (13 years and older) weighing 65 mg 1 mg 1 mg 4 mg in 24 hours 12.5 mg/kg 15 mg/kg 15 mg/kg 75 mg/kg in 24 hours (up to 75 mg) (up to 375 mg) 2.3 Recommended Dosage: Children Children 2 to 12 years of age: the recommended dosage of OFIRMEV is 15 mg/kg every 6 hours or 12.5 mg/kg every 4 hours, with a maximum single dose of OFIRMEV of 15 mg/kg, a minimum dosing interval of 4 hours, and a maximum daily dose of acetaminophen of 75 mg/kg per day. 2.4 Instructions for Intravenous Administration For adult and adolescent patients weighing 5 kg requiring 1 mg doses of OFIRMEV, administer the dose by inserting a vented intravenous set through the septum of the 1 ml vial. OFIRMEV may be administered without further dilution. Examine the vial contents before dose preparation or administering. DO NOT USE if particulate matter or discoloration is observed. Administer the contents of the vial intravenously over 15-minutes. Use aseptic technique when preparing OFIRMEV for intravenous infusion. Do not add other medications to the OFIRMEV vial or infusion device. For doses less than 1 mg, the appropriate dose must be withdrawn from the vial and placed into a separate container prior to administration. Using aseptic technique, withdraw the appropriate dose (65 mg or weightbased) from an intact sealed OFIRMEV vial and place the measured dose in a separate empty, sterile container (e.g. glass bottle, plastic intravenous container, or syringe) for intravenous infusion to avoid the inadvertent delivery and administration of the total volume of the commercially available container. The entire 1 ml vial of OFIRMEV is not intended for use in patients weighing less than 5 kg. OFIRMEV is a single-use vial and the unused portion must be discarded. Place small volume pediatric doses up to 6 ml in volume in a syringe and administer over 15 minutes using a syringe pump. Monitor the end of the infusion in order to prevent the possibility of an air embolism, especially in cases where the OFIRMEV infusion is the primary infusion. Once the vacuum seal of the glass vial has been penetrated, or the contents transferred to another container, administer the dose of OFIRMEV within 6 hours. Do not add other medications to the OFIRMEV solution. Diazepam and chlorpromazine hydrochloride are physically incompatible with OFIRMEV, therefore do not administer simultaneously. 3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS OFIRMEV is a sterile, clear, colorless, non pyrogenic, preservative free, isotonic formulation of acetaminophen intended for intravenous infusion. Each 1 ml glass vial contains 1 mg acetaminophen (1 mg/ml). 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS Acetaminophen is contraindicated: in patients with known hypersensitivity to acetaminophen or to any of the excipients in the intravenous formulation. in patients with severe hepatic impairment or severe active liver disease [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.1)]. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS 5.1 Hepatic Injury Administration of acetaminophen in doses higher than recommended may result in hepatic injury, including the risk of severe hepatotoxicity and death [see OVERDOSAGE (1)]. Do not exceed the maximum recommended daily dose of acetaminophen [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION (2)]. Use caution when administering acetaminophen in patients with the following conditions: hepatic impairment or active hepatic disease, alcoholism, chronic malnutrition, severe hypovolemia (e.g., due to dehydration or blood loss), or severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance 3 ml/min) [see USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS (8.6, 8.7)]. 5.2 Allergy and Hypersensitivity There have been post-marketing reports of hypersensitivity and anaphylaxis associated with the use of acetaminophen. Clinical signs included swelling of the face, mouth, and throat, respiratory distress, urticaria, rash, and pruritus. There were infrequent reports of life-threatening anaphylaxis requiring emergent medical attention. Discontinue OFIRMEV immediately if symptoms associated with allergy or hypersensitivity occur. Do not use OFIRMEV in patients with acetaminophen allergy. 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in the labeling: Hepatic Injury [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.1)] Allergy and Hypersensitivity [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.2)] 6.1 Clinical Trial Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed cannot be directly compared to rates in other clinical trials and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Adult Population A total of 12 adult patients have received OFIRMEV in clinical trials, including 37.3% (n=38) who received 5 or more doses, and 17.% (n=173) who received more than 1 doses. Most patients were treated with OFIRMEV 1 mg every 6 hours. A total of 13.1% (n=134) received OFIRMEV 65 mg every 4 hours. All adverse reactions that occurred in adult patients treated with either OFIRMEV or placebo in repeated dose, placebo-controlled clinical trials at an incidence 3% and at a greater frequency than placebo are listed in Table 2. The most common adverse events in adult patients treated with OFIRMEV (incidence 5% and greater than placebo) were nausea, vomiting, headache, and insomnia. Table 2.

Other Adverse Reactions Observed During Clinical Studies of OFIRMEV in Adults The following additional treatment-emergent adverse reactions were reported by adult subjects treated with OFIRMEV in all clinical trials (n=12) that occurred with an incidence of at least 1% and at a frequency greater than placebo (n=525). Blood and lymphatic system disorders: anemia General disorders and administration site conditions: fatigue, infusion site pain, edema peripheral Investigations: aspartate aminotransferase increased, breath sounds abnormal Metabolism and nutrition disorders: hypokalemia Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders: muscle spasms, trismus Psychiatric disorders: anxiety Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders: dyspnea Vascular disorders: hypertension, hypotension Pediatric population A total of 355 pediatric patients (47 neonates, 64 infants, 171 children, and 73 adolescents) have received OFIRMEV in active-controlled (n=25) and open-label clinical trials (n=225), including 59.7% (n=212) who received 5 or more doses and 43.1% (n=153) who received more than 1 doses. Pediatric patients received OFIRMEV doses up to 15 mg/kg on an every 4 hours, every 6 hours, or every 8 hours schedule. The maximum exposure was 7.7, 6.4, 6.8, and 7.1 days in neonates, infants, children, and adolescents, respectively. The most common adverse events (incidence 5%) in pediatric patients treated with OFIRMEV were nausea, vomiting, constipation, pruritus, agitation, and atelectasis. Other Adverse Reactions Observed During Clinical Studies of OFIRMEV in Pediatrics The following additional treatment-emergent adverse reactions were reported by pediatric subjects treated with OFIRMEV (n=355) that occurred with an incidence of at least 1%. Blood and lymphatic system disorders: anemia Cardiac disorders: tachycardia Gastrointestinal disorders: abdominal pain, diarrhea General disorders and administration site conditions: injection site pain, edema peripheral, pyrexia Investigations: hepatic enzyme increase Metabolism and nutrition disorders: hypoalbuminemia, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypophosphatemia, hypervolemia Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders: muscle spasm, pain in extremity Nervous system disorders: headache Psychiatric disorders: insomnia Renal and urinary disorders: oliguria Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders: pulmonary edema, hypoxia, pleural effusion, stridor, wheezing Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: periorbital edema, rash Vascular disorders: hypertension, hypotension 7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 Effects of other Substances on Acetaminophen Substances that induce or regulate hepatic cytochrome enzyme CYP2E1 may alter the metabolism of acetaminophen and increase its hepatotoxic potential. The clinical consequences of these effects have not been established. Effects of ethanol are complex, because excessive alcohol usage can induce hepatic cytochromes, but ethanol also acts as a competitive inhibitor of the metabolism of acetaminophen. 7.2 Anticoagulants Chronic oral acetaminophen use at a dose of 4 mg/day has been shown to cause an increase 12199_OFIRMEV.indd 1 6/8/11 5:25 PM
