WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

• Acute Pancreatitis:

Has been observed in patients treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists, including LuciOrfor.

Discontinue if pancreatitis is suspected.

• Severe Gastrointestinal Reactions:

Use has been associated with gastrointestinal adverse reactions, sometimes severe. LuciOrfor is not recommended in patients with severe gastroparesis.

• Acute Kidney Injury Due to Volume Depletion:

Monitor renal function in patients reporting adverse reactions that could lead to volume depletion.

• Hypoglycemia:

Concomitant use with insulin or an insulin secretagogue may increase the risk of hypoglycemia, including severe hypoglycemia. Reducing the dosage of insulin or insulin secretagogue may be necessary. Inform all patients of the risk of hypoglycemia and educate them on the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia.

• Hypersensitivity Reactions:

Serious hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis, angioedema) have been reported with GLP-1 receptor agonists. If suspected, advise the patient to promptly seek medical attention and discontinue LuciOrfor.

• Diabetic Retinopathy Complications in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes:

Has not been studied in patients with diabetic retinopathy and/or macular edema requiring acute treatment. Monitor patients with a history of diabetic retinopathy for progression.

• Acute Gallbladder Disease:

Has been reported in clinical trials. If cholecystitis is suspected, gallbladder studies and clinical follow-up are indicated.

• Pulmonary Aspiration During General Anesthesia and Deep Sedation:

Has been reported in patients receiving GLP-1 receptor agonists undergoing elective surgeries or procedures. Instruct patients to inform healthcare providers of any planned surgeries or procedures.

 

ADVERSE REACTIONS

Most common adverse reactions, reported in ≥5% of patients treated with LuciOrfor, are nausea, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, dyspepsia, abdominal pain, headache, abdominal distension, fatigue, eructation, gastroesophageal reflux disease, flatulence, and hair loss.

 

DRUG INTERACTIONS

• Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: The maximum dosage of LuciOrfor is 9 mg once daily when used concomitantly with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. Avoid concomitant use with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors that also inhibit OATP1B.

• CYP3A4 Inducers: Avoid concomitant use with strong CYP3A4 inducers. Monitor LuciOrfor effectiveness and escalate dosage as needed when used concomitantly with moderate CYP3A4 inducers.

• Simvastatin: Do not exceed simvastatin 20 mg once daily when used concomitantly with LuciOrfor.

• LuciOrfor delays gastric emptying and has the potential to impact the absorption of concomitantly administered oral medications.

 

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

• Pregnancy: May cause fetal harm. When pregnancy is recognized, discontinue LuciOrfor.

• Females of Reproductive Potential: Advise females using oral contraceptives to switch to a non-oral contraceptive method or add a barrier method of contraception for 30 days after initiation and for 30 days after each dose escalation.

• Hepatic impairment: Not recommended for use in patients with severe hepatic impairment.
