Evrysdi Prescribing Information
Dosage and Administration (2.1 Dosing InformationEVRYSDI is administered orally once daily with or without food. The recommended dosage is determined by age and body weight (see Table 1). EVRYSDI tablets are available for patients prescribed the 5 mg dose.
2.2 Important Administration InstructionsIt is recommended that a healthcare provider discuss with the patient or caregiver how to prepare the prescribed daily dose prior to administration of the first dose [see Instructions for Use for EVRYSDI for Oral Solutionand Patient Information]. EVRYSDI is taken orally once daily with or without food at approximately the same time each day. EVRYSDI for Oral Solution In infants who are breastfed, EVRYSDI for oral solution can be administered before or after breastfeeding. EVRYSDI cannot be mixed with formula or milk. Instruct patients or caregivers to administer the dose using the reusable oral syringe provided. EVRYSDI for oral solution must be taken immediately after it is drawn up into the oral syringe. If EVRYSDI is not taken within 5 minutes, EVRYSDI should be discarded from the oral syringe, and a new dose should be prepared. Instruct patients to drink water after taking EVRYSDI for oral solution to ensure the drug has been completely swallowed. If the patient is unable to swallow and has a nasogastric or gastrostomy tube, EVRYSDI for oral solution can be administered via the tube. The tube should be flushed with water after delivering EVRYSDI for oral solution [see Instructions for Use]. EVRYSDI Tablets Swallow EVRYSDI tablets whole with water. Do not chew, cut, or crush the tablets. The EVRYSDI tablet can also be dispersed in one teaspoon (5 mL) of room temperature non-chlorinated drinking water (e.g., filtered water). EVRYSDI tablets must not be dispersed in any liquid other than non-chlorinated drinking water. Do not expose the prepared dispersion to sunlight. Swirl the small cup gently for up to 3 minutes until fully mixed (though some particles will remain). Administer the dispersed tablet immediately. To ensure no particles are left in the small cup, refill it with at least one tablespoon (15 mL) of non-chlorinated drinking water, swirl, and administer immediately again. EVRYSDI must be taken immediately after it is dispersed in non-chlorinated drinking water. Discard the prepared dispersion if it is not used within 10 minutes of adding non-chlorinated drinking water. Do not administer the prepared dispersion via a nasogastric or gastrostomy tube.

StorageKeep the constituted oral solution of EVRYSDI in the original amber bottle to protect from light. Store in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Do not freeze. Discard any unused portion 64 days after constitution. Keep the bottle in an upright position with the cap tightly closed. If refrigeration is not available, EVRYSDI can be kept at room temperature up to 40°C (up to 104°F) for a combined total of 5 days. EVRYSDI can be removed from, and returned to, a refrigerator. The total combined time out of refrigeration should not exceed 5 days.
EVRYSDI for oral solution: 60 mg as a light yellow, pale yellow, yellow, greyish yellow, greenish yellow, or light green powder for constitution. Following constitution, the volume of the greenish yellow to yellow solution is 80 mL, providing 60 mg/80 mL (0.75 mg/mL) risdiplam.
EVRYSDI tablet: 5 mg as a pale yellow film-coated tablet, round and curved, with EVR debossed on one side.
Pregnancy: Based on animal data, may cause fetal harm. (
8.1 PregnancyThere is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy and fetal/neonatal/infant outcomes in women exposed to EVRYSDI during pregnancy. Physicians are encouraged to register patients and pregnant women are encouraged to register themselves by calling 1-833-760-1098 or visiting https://www.evrysdipregnancyregistry.com.
There are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of EVRYSDI in pregnant women. In animal studies, administration of risdiplam during pregnancy or throughout pregnancy and lactation resulted in adverse effects on development (embryofetal mortality, malformations, decreased fetal body weights, and reproductive impairment in offspring) at or above clinically relevant drug exposures
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defect and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Based on animal data, advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus.
Oral administration of risdiplam (0, 1, 3, or 7.5 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats throughout organogenesis resulted in decreased fetal body weights and increased incidences of fetal structural variations at the highest dose tested, which was not associated with maternal toxicity. The no-effect level for adverse effects on embryofetal development (3 mg/kg/day) was associated with maternal plasma exposure (AUC) approximately 2 times that in humans at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 5 mg.
Oral administration of risdiplam (0, 1, 4, or 12 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rabbits throughout organogenesis resulted in embryofetal mortality, fetal malformations (hydrocephaly), and structural variations at the highest dose tested, which was associated with maternal toxicity. The no-effect dose for adverse effects on embryofetal development (4 mg/kg/day) was associated with maternal plasma exposure (AUC) approximately 4 times that in humans at the MRHD.
When risdiplam (0, 0.75, 1.5, or 3 mg/kg/day) was orally administered to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation, gestation was prolonged in the dams, and delayed sexual maturation (vaginal opening) and impaired reproductive function (decreased numbers of corpora lutea, implantation sites, and live embryos) were observed in female offspring at the highest dose. The no-effect dose for adverse effects on pre- and postnatal development in rats (1.5 mg/kg/day) was associated with maternal plasma exposure (AUC) similar to that in humans at the MRHD.
None.
