8.4 Pediatric UseThe safety, effectiveness and pharmacokinetics of Qbrexza have been established in pediatric patients age 9 years and older for topical treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis
[see Clinical Pharmacology ]. Use of Qbrexza in this age group is supported by evidence from two multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, vehicle-controlled 4-week trials which included 34 pediatric subjects 9 years and older[see Adverse Reactions and Clinical Studies ]. The safety and effectiveness of Qbrexza have not been established in pediatric patients under 9 years of age.
Qbrexza is contraindicated in patients with medical conditions that can be exacerbated by the anticholinergic effect of Qbrexza (e.g., glaucoma, paralytic ileus, unstable cardiovascular status in acute hemorrhage, severe ulcerative colitis, toxic megacolon complicating ulcerative colitis, myasthenia gravis, Sjogren’s syndrome).
- New or worsening urinary retention: Use with caution in patients with a history of documented urinary retention ().
5.1 New or Worsening Urinary RetentionNew or worsening signs and symptoms of urinary retention (e.g., difficulty passing urine, distended bladder) have occurred in patients taking Qbrexza with or without a history of documented urinary retention. Instruct patients to discontinue use immediately and consult a physician should any of these signs or symptoms develop.
Qbrexza should be used with caution in patients with prostatic hypertrophy or bladder-neck obstruction.
- Control of body temperature: In the presence of high ambient temperature, heat illness may occur; avoid use if patients develop generalized lack of sweating when exposed to hot or very warm environmental temperatures ().
5.2 Control of Body TemperatureIn the presence of high ambient temperature, heat illness (hyperpyrexia and heat stroke due to decreased sweating) can occur with the use of anticholinergic drugs such as Qbrexza. Advise patients using Qbrexza to watch for generalized lack of sweating when in hot or very warm environmental temperatures and to avoid use if not sweating under these conditions.
- Operating machinery or an automobile: Transient blurred vision may occur with use of Qbrexza. If blurred vision occurs, discontinue use of Qbrexza until symptoms resolve; avoid operating a motor vehicle or other machinery until symptoms resolve ().
