| • |
Gastric Ulcer: 40 mg once daily for 4-8 weeks. |
| • |
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
—Symptomatic GERD (with no esophageal erosions): 20 mg once daily for up to 4 weeks.
—Erosive Esophagitis: 20 mg once daily for 4-8 weeks. |
| • |
Maintenance of Healing of Erosive Esophagitis: 20 mg once daily. |
| • |
Reduction of Risk of Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Critically Ill Patients: (40 mg oral suspension only) 40 mg initially followed by 40 mg 6-8 hours later and 40 mg daily thereafter for 14 days. |
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CONTRAINDICATIONS
ZEGERID is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any components of the formulation.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
| • |
Concomitant Gastric Malignancy: Symptomatic response to therapy with ZEGERID does not preclude the presence of gastric malignancy. |
| • |
Atrophic Gastritis: Has been observed in gastric corpus biopsies from patients treated long-term with omeprazole. |
| • |
Buffer Content: Contains sodium bicarbonate. |
| • |
PPI therapy may be associated with increased risk of Clostridium difficile–associated diarrhea. |
| • |
Avoid concomitant use of ZEGERID with clopidogrel. |
| • |
Bone Fracture: Long-term and multiple daily dose PPI therapy may be associated with an increased risk for osteoporosis-related fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine. |
| • |
Hypomagnesemia has been reported rarely with prolonged treatment with PPIs. |
| • |
Avoid concomitant use of ZEGERID with St. John’s Wort or rifampin due to the potential reduction in omeprazole concentrations. |
| • |
Interactions with diagnostic investigations for Neuroendocrine Tumors: Increases in intragastric pH may result in hypergastrinemia and enterochromaffin-like cell hyperplasia and increased chromogranin A levels which may interfere with diagnostic investigations for neuroendocrine tumors. |
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Most common adverse reactions (incidence >2%) are headache, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and flatulence.
DRUG INTERACTIONS
| • |
ZEGERID may interfere with absorption of some drugs due to inhibition of gastric acid secretion. |
| • |
ZEGERID can prolong the elimination of some drugs metabolized by cytochrome P450. |
| • |
Concomitant treatment of PPIs and warfarin may warrant monitoring for increases in INR/ prothrombin time. |
| • |
Voriconazole: May increase plasma levels of omeprazole. |
| • |
Saquinavir: ZEGERID increases plasma levels of saquinavir. |
| • |
Atazanavir and nelfinavir: ZEGERID may reduce plasma levels of atazanavir and nelfinavir. |
| • |
Clopidogrel: ZEGERID decreases exposure to the active metabolite of clopidogrel. |
| • |
Tacrolimus: ZEGERID may increase serum levels of tacrolimus. |
| • |
Methotrexate: ZEGERID may increase serum levels of methotrexate. |
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
| • |
Pregnancy: Based upon animal data, may cause fetal harm. |
| • |
Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness of ZEGERID in pediatric patients less than 18 years of age have not been established. |
| • |
Hepatic Impairment: Consider dose reduction, particularly for maintenance of healing of erosive esophagitis. |
