Saquinavir Mesylate

Brekiya® becomes the first and only DHE autoinjector that allows patients to self-administer the same medication used in hospitals in a ready-to-use form Product will be available for appropriate patients in the second half of 2025 BRIDGEWATER, N.J., May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMRX) (“Amneal” or the “Company”) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Brekiya® (dihydroergotamine mesylate) injection, the first and only dihydroergotamine (DHE) autoinjector for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura and the acute treatment of cluster headaches in adults.1,2 Brekiya autoinjector provides patients with the potential for sustained* pain relief† in a convenient, self-administered form.1,3,4 It contains the same medication (DHE) used in hospitals, now in a ready-to-use device.1,5 Brekiya autoinjector does not require refrigeration, assembly, or priming of the device.1 Patients can deliver one dose subcutaneously into the middle of the thigh.1 This may be beneficial for patients who respond inadequately to oral therapies due to lack of efficacy, experience nausea or vomiting during attacks, have gastroparesis, or delay dosing until too late into the attack.1,5,6 “We are thrilled to offer the first and only ready-to-use autoinjector for patients suffering from acute migraine and cluster headaches. Physicians are familiar with DHE, which is an effective and well-established therapy that provides sustained relief for headaches. Our single-dose autoinjector represents an innovative therapeutic option for patients that allows for quick self-administration of the medication during these painful attacks without visiting the emergency room,” said Joe Renda, Senior Vice President, Chief Commercial Officer – Specialty. DHE is commonly administered in emergency rooms, urgent care facilities, and headache clinics intravenously. DHE can be used at any point during a migraine attack, and may protect patients from headache recurrence.1,3,4 Approximately 39 million Americans are living with migraine7, and up to one million with cluster headache.8 Also, headache is the fourth most common reason for emergency department visits, and accounts for 3% of all emergency room visits in the United States.9 There are limited treatment options available for cluster headache, and Brekiya autoinjector represents a new treatment option for this underserved population.2 Do not take Brekiya autoinjector with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors including protease inhibitors and macrolide antibiotics.

INDICATION TARPEYO is indicated to reduce the loss of kidney function in adults with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) who are at risk for disease progression. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION CONTRAINDICATIONS TARPEYO is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to budesonide or any of the ingredients of TARPEYO. Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have occurred with other budesonide formulations. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONSHypercorticism and adrenal axis suppression: When corticosteroids are used chronically, systemic effects such as hypercorticism and adrenal suppression may occur. Corticosteroids can reduce the response of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis to stress. In situations where patients are subject to surgery or other stress situations, supplementation with a systemic corticosteroid is recommended. When discontinuing therapy or switching between corticosteroids, monitor for signs of adrenal axis suppression. Patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B and C respectively) could be at an increased risk of hypercorticism and adrenal axis suppression due to an increased systemic exposure to oral budesonide. Avoid use in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C). Monitor for increased signs and/or symptoms of hypercorticism in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B). Immunosuppression and Increased Risk of Infection: Corticosteroids, including TARPEYO, suppress the immune system and increase the risk of infection with any pathogen, including viral, bacterial, fungal, protozoan, or helminthic pathogens. Corticosteroids can: reduce resistance to new infections, exacerbate existing infections, increase the risk of disseminated infections, increase the risk of reactivation or exacerbation of latent infections, and mask some signs of infection. Corticosteroid-associated infections can sometimes be serious. Monitor for infection and consider TARPEYO withdrawal as needed. Avoid corticosteroid therapy, including TARPEYO, in patients with active or quiescent tuberculosis or hepatitis B infection; untreated fungal, bacterial, systemic viral, or parasitic infections; ocular herpes simplex; or Kaposi’s sarcoma. Avoid exposure to active, easily-transmitted infections (e.g., chickenpox, measles). Corticosteroid therapy may decrease the immune response to some vaccines. Other corticosteroid effects: TARPEYO is a systemically available corticosteroid and is expected to cause related adverse reactions. Monitor patients with hypertension, prediabetes, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, peptic ulcer, glaucoma or cataracts, or with a family history of diabetes or glaucoma, or with any other condition where corticosteroids may have unwanted effects. ADVERSE REACTIONS In clinical studies, the most common adverse reactions with TARPEYO (occurring in ≥5% of TARPEYO treated patients, and ≥2% higher than placebo) were peripheral edema (17%), hypertension (12%), muscle spasms (12%), acne (11%), headache (10%), upper respiratory tract infection (8%), face edema (8%), weight increased (7%), dyspepsia (7%), dermatitis (6%), arthralgia (6%), and white blood cell count increased (6%). DRUG INTERACTIONS Budesonide is a substrate for CYP3A4. Avoid use with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, ritonavir, indinavir, saquinavir, erythromycin, and cyclosporine. Avoid ingestion of grapefruit juice with TARPEYO. Intake of grapefruit juice, which inhibits CYP3A4 activity, can increase the systemic exposure to budesonide. USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONSPregnancy: The available data from published case series, epidemiological studies, and reviews with oral budesonide use in pregnant women have not identified a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are risks to the mother and fetus associated with IgAN. Infants exposed to in-utero corticosteroids, including budesonide, are at risk for hypoadrenalism. Please see Full Prescribing Information. About TARPEYOTARPEYO is an oral 4mg delayed release formulation of budesonide, designed to remain intact until it reaches the ileum. Each capsule contains coated beads of budesonide that target mucosal B-cells present in the ileum, including the Peyer’s patches, which are responsible for the production of galactose-deficient IgA1 antibodies (Gd-Ag1) causing IgA nephropathy. About Primary Immunoglobulin A NephropathyPrimary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgA nephropathy or IgAN or Berger’s Disease) is a rare, progressive, chronic autoimmune disease that attacks the kidneys and occurs when galactose deficient IgA1 is recognized by autoantibodies, creating IgA1 immune complexes that become deposited in the glomerular mesangium of the kidney. This deposition in the kidney can lead to progressive kidney damage and potentially a clinical course resulting in end- stage renal disease. IgAN most often develops between late teens and late 30s.
