The following adverse reactions associated with the use of vancomycin were identified in clinical trials: Immune System Disorders: Anaphylaxis and “vancomycin infusion reaction” Renal and Urinary Disorders: Acute kidney injury and interstitial nephritis Ear and Labyrinth Disorders: Hearing loss, vertigo, and tinnitus Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Rashes including exfoliative dermatitis, and Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) Gastrointestinal Disorders: Clostridioides difficile colitis, nausea Blood and Lymphatic System Disorders: Agranulocytosis, neutropenia, pancytopenia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, eosinophilia Cardiac Disorders: Cardiac arrest, chest pain General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions: General discomfort, fever, chills, phlebitis, injection site irritation, injection site pain and necrosis following intramuscular injection, chemical peritonitis following intraperitoneal administration (TYZAVAN is not approved for intramuscular and intraperitoneal administration) Laboratory Abnormalities: Elevated blood urea nitrogen, elevated serum creatinine Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders: Muscle pain Nervous System Disorders: Dizziness Respiratory, Thoracic and Mediastinal Disorders: Wheezing, dyspnea Vascular Disorders: Hypotension, shock, vasculitis 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during postmarketing use of vancomycin. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Immune System Disorders: Acute myocardial ischemia with or without myocardial infarction may occur as part of an allergic reaction. Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Severe dermatologic reactions such as toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), and linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD). Blood and Lymphatic System Disorders: Hemolytic anemia

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Anesthetic Agents : Concomitant administration of vancomycin and anesthetic agents has been associated with erythema and histamine-like flushing. ( 2.1 , 7.1 ) Piperacillin/Tazobactam : Increased incidence of acute kidney injury in patients receiving concomitant piperacillin/tazobactam and vancomycin as compared to vancomycin alone. Monitor kidney function in patients. ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Anesthetic Agents Concomitant administration of vancomycin and anesthetic agents has been associated with erythema and histamine-like flushing [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ] . 7.2 Piperacillin-Tazobactam Studies have detected an increased incidence of acute kidney injury in patients administered concomitant piperacillin/tazobactam and vancomycin as compared to vancomycin alone.

No pharmacokinetic interactions have been noted between piperacillin/tazobactam and vancomycin. 7.3 Ototoxic and/or Nephrotoxic Drugs Concurrent and/or sequential systemic or topical use of other potentially neurotoxic and/or nephrotoxic drugs with TYZAVAN requires more frequent monitoring of renal function.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary The available data on the use of this formulation of TYZAVAN (which includes the excipient NADA) in pregnant women are insufficient to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes (see Data ) . Available data over several decades of vancomycin (without the excipient NADA) use in pregnant women have not identified a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes (see Data ) . Vancomycin did not show adverse developmental effects when administered intravenously to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at doses less than or equal to the recommended maximum human dose (see Data ) . The 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. Data Human Data Available data from postmarketing cases on use of this formulation of vancomycin injection (with the excipient NADA) in pregnant women are insufficient to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or infant outcomes. There are no available data on first trimester use of vancomycin (without the excipient NADA); however, available published data on use in pregnancy during the second and third trimesters have not shown an association with adverse pregnancy related outcomes. A published study evaluated hearing loss and nephrotoxicity in infants of 10 pregnant intravenous drug users treated with intravenously administered vancomycin (formulation did not include the excipient NADA) for suspected or documented methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the second or third trimester. The comparison groups were 10 non-intravenous drug-dependent patients who received no treatment, and 10 untreated intravenous drug-dependent patients who served as substance abuse controls. No infant in the vancomycin exposed group had abnormal sensorineural hearing at 3 months of age or nephrotoxicity. A published prospective study assessed outcomes in 55 pregnant women with a positive Group B streptococcus (GBS) culture and a high-risk penicillin allergy with resistance to clindamycin or unknown sensitivity who were administered vancomycin (formulation did not include the excipient NADA) at the time of delivery. Vancomycin dosing ranged from the standard 1 g intravenously every 12 hours to 20 mg/kg intravenous every 8 hours (maximum individual dose 2 g). No major adverse reactions were recorded either in the mothers or their newborns. None of the newborns had sensorineural hearing loss. Neonatal renal function was not examined, but all of the newborns were discharged in good condition. Animal Data Vancomycin did not cause fetal malformations when administered during organogenesis to pregnant rats (gestation days 6 to 15) and rabbits (gestation days 6 to 18) at doses less than or equal to the recommended maximum human dose (based on body surface area comparisons) of 200 mg/kg/day IV to rats or 120 mg/kg/day IV to rabbits. No effects on fetal weight or development were seen in rats at the highest dose tested or in rabbits given 80 mg/kg/day (approximately 1 and 0.8 times the recommended maximum human dose based on body surface area, respectively). Maternal toxicity was observed in rats (at doses 120 mg/kg and above) and rabbits (at 80 mg/kg and above). 1 Animal reproduction studies conducted in pregnant rabbits (gestation days 6 to 19) administered intravenous NADA at 1680 mg/kg (32 times the maximum daily human dose or greater based on AUC levels of NADA) resulted in fetal scoliosis and a spectrum of cardiovascular malformations. Increased incidence of de …
