Indications and Usage

openFDA Drug Labeling

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE MYDAYIS is indicated for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in patients 13 years and older [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . MYDAYIS is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant indicated for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in patients 13 years and older. ( 1 ) Limitations of Use : Pediatric patients 12 years and younger experienced higher plasma exposure than patients 13 years and older at the same dose and experienced higher rates of adverse reactions, mainly insomnia and decreased appetite. ( 8.4 ) Limitations of Use : Pediatric patients 12 years and younger experienced higher plasma exposure than patients 13 years and older at the same dose, and experienced higher rates of adverse reactions, mainly insomnia and decreased appetite [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ] .

Dosage and Administration

openFDA Drug Labeling

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION MYDAYIS should be administered once daily upon awakening . Recommended Starting Dose Titration Schedule Maximum Daily Dose Adults 12.5 mg 12.5 mg weekly 50 mg Pediatrics (13 to 17) 12.5 mg 12.5 mg weekly 25 mg In adult patients with severe renal impairment the maximum dose should not exceed 25 mg daily. Use in adult patients with ESRD is not recommended. ( 2.6 , 8.6 ) The maximum dose in pediatric patients with severe renal impairment is 12.5 mg daily. Use in pediatric patients with ESRD is not recommended. ( 2.6 , 8.6 ) Patients are advised to take consistently either with or without food. ( 2.2 ) Administer upon awakening because the effects may last up to 16 hours and there is the potential for insomnia. ( 2.2 ) Prior to treatment, assess for presence of cardiac disease. ( 2.1 ) To avoid substitution errors and overdosage, do not substitute for other amphetamine products on a milligram-per-milligram basis because of different amphetamine base compositions and differing pharmacokinetic profiles. ( 2.7 ) 2.1 Pretreatment Screening Prior to treating patients with MYDAYIS, assess: for the presence of cardiac disease (i.e., perform a careful history, family history of sudden death or ventricular arrhythmia, and physical exam) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] the family history and clinically evaluate patients for motor or verbal tics or Tourette’s syndrome before initiating MYDAYIS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10) ] 2.2 General Administration Information Because the effects of MYDAYIS may last up to 16 hours and there is potential for insomnia, administer once daily in the morning upon awakening. In the event of a missed dose, do not administer later in the day. Do not administer additional medication to make up for the missed dose [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) , Clinical Studies (14) ] . 2.3 Administration Instructions Administer MYDAYIS orally with or without food. Advise patients to take MYDAYIS consistently either with food or without food [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . MYDAYIS may be administered in one of the following ways: Swallow MYDAYIS capsules whole, or Open capsule and sprinkle the entire contents over a spoonful of applesauce. The sprinkled applesauce should be consumed immediately; it should not be stored. Patients should take the sprinkled applesauce in its entirety without chewing. The dose of a single capsule should not be divided. 2.4 Recommended Dosage Adults (18 to 55 years) The recommended starting dose of MYDAYIS is 12.5 mg once daily in the morning upon awakening. Initial doses of 25 mg once daily may be considered for some patients. Dosage may be adjusted in increments of 12.5 mg no sooner than weekly, up to a maximum dose of 50 mg once daily, based on the therapeutic needs and response of the patient. Doses above 50 mg daily have shown no additional clinically meaningful benefit. Pediatric Patients (13 to 17 years) The recommended starting dose is 12.5 mg once daily in the morning upon awakening. Dosage may be adjusted in increments of 12.5 mg no sooner than weekly, up to a recommended maximum dose of 25 mg once daily. The dose should be individualized according to the needs and response of the patient. Doses higher than 25 mg have not been evaluated in clinical trials in pediatric patients. 2.5 Dosage Modifications Due to Drug Interactions Agents that alter gastrointestinal and urinary pH can impact urinary excretion and alter blood levels of amphetamine. Acidifying agents (e.g., ascorbic acid) decrease blood levels, while alkalinizing agents (e.g., sodium bicarbonate) increase blood levels. Adjust MYDAYIS dosage accordingly [see Drug Interactions (7.1) ] . 2.6 Dosage in Patients with Renal Impairment In adult patients with severe renal impairment (GFR between 15 to <30 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ), the recommended starting dose of MYDAYIS is 12.5 mg daily with a maximum recommended dose of 25 mg daily. MYDAYIS is not recommended for use in patients with end stage renal …

Warnings and Cautions

openFDA Drug Labeling

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Risks to Patients with Serious Cardiac Disease: Avoid use in patients with known structural cardiac abnormalities, cardiomyopathy, serious cardiac arrhythmia, coronary artery disease, or other serious cardiac disease. ( 5.2 ) Increased Blood Pressure and Heart Rate: Monitor blood pressure and pulse. ( 5.3 ) Psychiatric Adverse Reactions: Prior to initiating MYDAYIS, screen patients for risk factors for developing a manic episode. If new psychotic or manic symptoms occur, consider discontinuing MYDAYIS. ( 5.4 ) Long-Term Suppression of Growth in Pediatric Patients: Closely monitor growth (height and weight) in pediatric patients. Pediatric patients not growing or gaining height or weight as expected may need to have their treatment interrupted. ( 5.5 ) Peripheral Vasculopathy, Including Raynaud’s Phenomenon: Careful observation for digital changes is necessary during MYDAYIS treatment. Further clinical evaluation (e.g., rheumatology referral) may be appropriate for patients who develop signs or symptoms of peripheral vasculopathy. ( 5.6 ) Seizures: May lower the convulsive threshold. If a seizure occurs, discontinue MYDAYIS. ( 5.7 ) Serotonin Syndrome: Increased risk when coadministered with serotonergic agents (e.g., SSRIs, SNRIs, triptans), but also during overdosage situations. If it occurs, discontinue MYDAYIS and initiate supportive treatment. ( 5.8 ) Motor and Verbal Tics, and Worsening of Tourette’s Syndrome: Before initiating MYDAYIS, assess the family history and clinically evaluate patients for tics or Tourette’s syndrome. Regularly monitor patients for the emergence or worsening of tics or Tourette’s syndrome. Discontinue treatment if clinically appropriate. ( 5.10 ) 5.1 Abuse, Misuse, and Addiction MYDAYIS has a high potential for abuse and misuse. The use of MYDAYIS exposes individuals to the risks of abuse and misuse, which can lead to the development of a substance use disorder, including addiction. MYDAYIS can be diverted for non-medical use into illicit channels or distribution [see Drug Abuse and Dependence (9.2) ] . Misuse and abuse of CNS stimulants, including MYDAYIS, can result in overdose and death [see Overdosage (10) ] , and this risk is increased with higher doses or unapproved methods of administration, such as snorting or injection. Before prescribing MYDAYIS, assess each patient’s risk for abuse, misuse, and addiction. Educate patients and their families about these risks and proper disposal of any unused drug. Advise patients to store MYDAYIS in a safe place, preferably locked, and instruct patients to not give MYDAYIS to anyone else. Throughout MYDAYIS treatment, reassess each patient’s risk of abuse, misuse, and addiction and frequently monitor for signs and symptoms of abuse, misuse, and addiction. 5.2 Risks to Patients with Serious Cardiac Disease Sudden death has been reported in patients with structural cardiac abnormalities or other serious cardiac disease who were treated with CNS stimulants at the recommended ADHD dosage. Avoid MYDAYIS use in patients with known structural cardiac abnormalities, cardiomyopathy, serious cardiac arrhythmia, coronary artery disease, or other serious cardiac disease. 5.3 Increased Blood Pressure and Heart Rate CNS stimulants cause an increase in blood pressure (mean increase about 2 to 4 mmHg) and heart rate (mean increase about 3 to 6 bpm). Some patients may have larger increases. Monitor all MYDAYIS-treated patients for potential tachycardia and hypertension [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . 5.4 Psychiatric Adverse Reactions Exacerbation of Pre-Existing Psychosis CNS stimulants may exacerbate symptoms of behavior disturbance and thought disorder in patients with a pre-existing psychotic disorder. Induction of a Manic Episode in Patients with Bipolar Disorder CNS stimulants may induce a manic or mixed episode in patients with bipolar disorder. Prior to initiating MYDAYIS treatment, screen patients for risk factors for developing a ma …

Adverse Reactions

openFDA Drug Labeling

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: Abuse, Misuse, and Addiction [see Boxed Warning , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , Drug Abuse and Dependence (9.2 , 9.3) ] Hypersensitivity to amphetamine products or other ingredients of MYDAYIS [see Contraindications (4) ] Hypertensive Crisis When Used Concomitantly with Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors [see Contraindications (4) , Drug Interactions (7.1) ] Risks to Patients with Serious Cardiac Disease [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Increased Blood Pressure and Heart Rate [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Psychiatric Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Long-Term Suppression of Growth in Pediatric Patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Peripheral Vasculopathy, Including Raynaud's Phenomenon [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] Seizures [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] Serotonin Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ] Motor and Verbal Tics, and Worsening of Tourette's Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10) ] Most common adverse reactions in patients with ADHD (incidence ≥5% and at a rate at least twice placebo) are: Pediatrics (13 years and older): insomnia, decreased appetite, decreased weight, irritability, and nausea. ( 6.1 ) Adults: insomnia, decreased appetite, decreased weight, dry mouth, increased heart rate, and anxiety. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. at 1-877-TAKEDA-7 (1-877-825-3327) or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. MYDAYIS was studied in adults (18 to 55 years) and pediatric patients (13 to 17 years) who met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4 th or 5 th editions (DSM-IV-TR ® or DSM-5) criteria for ADHD. The safety data for adults were pooled from three randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies in doses of 12.5 mg to 75 mg per day (1.5 times the maximum recommended dosage). Doses higher than 50 mg per day did not demonstrate additional clinical benefit and are not recommended. The safety data for pediatric patients (13 to 17 years) is from 1 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of doses of 12.5 mg to 25 mg. The total exposure in patients treated with MYDAYIS totalled 704; this included pediatric patients, 78 adolescent patients and 626 adult patients from multiple well-controlled trials. The duration of use ranged from 4 to 7 weeks [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Adverse Reactions Leading to Discontinuation of Treatment In pooled controlled trials of adult patients, 9% (54/626) of MYDAYIS-treated patients discontinued due to adverse reactions compared to 2% (7/328) of placebo-treated patients. The most frequent adverse reactions leading to discontinuation (i.e., leading to discontinuation in at least 1% of MYDAYIS-treated patients and at a rate at least twice that of placebo) were insomnia (2%, n=15), blood pressure increased (2%, n=10), decreased appetite (1%, n=5), and headache (1%, n=4). In a controlled trial including adolescent patients (13 to 17 years), 5% (4/78) of MYDAYIS-treated patients discontinued due to adverse reactions compared to 0% (0/79) of placebo-treated patients. The most frequent adverse reaction leading to discontinuation (i.e., leading to discontinuation in at least 1% of MYDAYIS-treated patients and at a rate at least twice that of placebo) were dizziness (1%, n=1), depression (1%, n=1), abdominal pain upper (1%, n=1), and viral infection (1%, n=1). Adverse Reactions Occurring at an Incidence of ≥2% and at Least Twice Placebo Among MYDAYIS-Treated Adults in Clinical Trials The most common adverse reac …

Drug Interactions

openFDA Drug Labeling

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Acidifying and Alkalinizing Agents: Agents that alter GI and urinary pH can alter blood levels of amphetamine. Acidifying agents (GI and urinary) decrease amphetamine blood levels, while alkalinizing agents (GI and urinary) increase amphetamine blood levels. Adjust MYDAYIS dosage accordingly. ( 2.5 , 7.1 ) 7.1 Drugs Having Clinically Important Interactions with Amphetamines Table 3: Drugs Having Clinically Important Interactions with Amphetamines Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs) Clinical Impact MAOI antidepressants slow amphetamine metabolism, increasing amphetamines effect on the release of norepinephrine and other monoamines from adrenergic nerve endings causing headaches and other signs of hypertensive crisis. Toxic neurological effects and malignant hyperpyrexia can occur, sometimes with fatal results. Intervention Do not administer MYDAYIS during or within 14 days following the administration of MAOI [see Contraindications (4) ] . Serotonergic Drugs Clinical Impact The concomitant use of amphetamines and serotonergic drugs increases the risk of serotonin syndrome. Intervention Initiate with lower doses and monitor patients for signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome, particularly during MYDAYIS initiation or dosage increase. If serotonin syndrome occurs, discontinue MYDAYIS and concomitant serotonergic drug(s) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ] . Alkalinizing Agents Clinical Impact May increase exposure to amphetamine and exacerbate the action of amphetamine. Intervention Caution should be taken when coadministering MYDAYIS and gastrointestinal and urinary alkalinizing agents. Acidifying Agents Clinical Impact Lower blood levels and efficacy of amphetamines. Intervention Increase dose of MYDAYIS based on clinical response. Tricyclic Antidepressants Clinical Impact May enhance the activity of tricyclic or sympathomimetic agents causing sustained increases in the concentration of d-amphetamine in the brain; cardiovascular effects can be potentiated. Intervention Monitor frequently and adjust MYDAYIS dose or use alternative therapy based on clinical response. CYP2D6 Inhibitors Clinical Impact May increase the exposure of amphetamine. Intervention Start with lower doses and monitor frequently and adjust MYDAYIS dose or use alternative therapy based on clinical response. Gastric pH Modulators Clinical Impact Potential change in shape of PK profile and exposure may occur. Intervention Monitor patients for changes in clinical effect and use alternative therapy based on clinical response. 7.2 Interference with Laboratory Tests Amphetamines can cause a significant elevation in plasma corticosteroid levels. This increase is greatest in the evening. Amphetamines may interfere with urinary steroid determinations. Allow for an adequate washout period between administration of MYDAYIS and radioactive diagnostic agents used for dopamine transporter (DAT) visualization. MYDAYIS can interfere with the test results of a radioactive diagnostic agent (ioflupane I-123) that is used for DAT visualization by binding and internalization of the DAT, which may result in lower DAT in the striatum. This may lead to false-positive diagnostic results.

Use in Specific Populations

openFDA Drug Labeling

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy: Based on animal data, may cause fetal harm. ( 8.1 ) Lactation: Breastfeeding not recommended. ( 8.2 ) Pediatric: Safety and effectiveness have not been established in pediatric patients ages 12 years and younger. ( 8.4 ) Renal Impairment: Dose adjustment is needed in patients with severe renal insufficiency. Use of MYDAYIS in patients with ESRD is not recommended. ( 2.6 , 8.6 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to MYDAYIS during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the National Pregnancy Registry for Psychiatric Medications at 1-866-961-2388 or visiting online at https://womensmentalhealth.org/research/pregnancyregistry/ . Risk Summary The limited available data from published literature and postmarketing reports on use of amphetamine in pregnant women are not sufficient to inform a drug-associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage. Adverse pregnancy outcomes, including premature delivery and low birth weight, have been seen in infants born to mothers dependent on amphetamines [see Clinical Considerations ] . In an embryofetal development study, amphetamine (d- to l- enantiomer ratio of 3:1, the same as in MYDAYIS) had no effects on embryofetal morphological development or survival when administered to pregnant rats and rabbits throughout the period of organogenesis up to doses 10 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 25 mg/day given to adolescents, on a mg/m 2 body surface area basis. However, in a pre- and postnatal development study, amphetamine (d- to l- ratio of 3:1) administered orally to pregnant rats during gestation and lactation caused a decrease in pup survival and a decrease in pup body weight that correlated with a delay in developmental landmarks at clinically relevant doses of amphetamine. In addition, adverse effects on reproductive performance were observed in pups whose mothers were treated with amphetamine. Long-term neurochemical and behavioral effects have also been reported in animal developmental studies using clinically relevant doses of amphetamine [see Data ] . The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Amphetamines, such as MYDAYIS, cause vasoconstriction and thereby may decrease placental perfusion. In addition, amphetamines can stimulate uterine contractions increasing the risk of premature delivery. Infants born to amphetamine-dependent mothers have an increased risk of premature delivery and low birth weight. Monitor infants born to mothers taking amphetamines for symptoms of withdrawal such as feeding difficulties, irritability, agitation, and excessive drowsiness. Data Animal Data Amphetamine (d- to l- enantiomer ratio of 3:1, the same as in MYDAYIS) had no apparent effects on embryofetal morphological development or survival when administered orally to pregnant rats and rabbits throughout the period of organogenesis at doses of up to 6 and 16 mg/kg/day, respectively. These doses are approximately 2 and 10 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 25 mg/day given to adolescents, on a mg/m 2 body surface area basis. Fetal malformations and death have been reported in mice following parenteral administration of d-amphetamine doses of 50 mg/kg/day (approximately 8 times the MRHD given to adolescents on a mg/m 2 basis) or greater to pregnant animals. Administration of these doses was also associated with severe maternal toxicity. A pre- and postnatal development study was conducted with amphe …

Mechanism of Action

openFDA Drug Labeling

12.1 Mechanism of Action Amphetamines are non-catecholamine sympathomimetic amines with CNS stimulant activity. The exact mode of therapeutic action in ADHD is not known.

Description

openFDA Drug Labeling

11 DESCRIPTION MYDAYIS extended-release capsules contain mixed salts of a single-entity amphetamine, a CNS stimulant. MYDAYIS contains equal amounts (by weight) of four salts: dextroamphetamine sulfate and amphetamine sulfate, dextroamphetamine saccharate and amphetamine aspartate monohydrate. This results in a 3:1 mixture of dextro- to levo- amphetamine base equivalent. The 12.5 mg, 25 mg, 37.5 mg, and 50 mg strength capsules are for oral administration. They contain three types of drug-releasing beads, an immediate release and two different types of delayed release (DR) beads. The first DR bead releases amphetamine at pH 5.5 and the other DR bead releases amphetamine at pH 7.0.

A report count is not a risk measure. FAERS accepts voluntary and mandatory reports without establishing causation, and reporting is influenced by how widely a drug is used, how long it has been marketed, and media attention. FDA states that reports “do not prove that the drug caused the event”. Compare rates, not totals.

Attributed to this product's most-reported active ingredient: DEXTROAMPHETAMINE SULFATE. Combination products with more than six active ingredients are not attributed, because a report count summed across a long ingredient list measures the list, not the medicine.
