TYZAVAN is intended for intravenous use only. TYZAVAN is not to be administered orally. To reduce the risk of infusion related adverse reactions, administer TYZAVAN by intravenous infusion over 60 minutes or greater [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . An infusion rate of 10 mg/min or less is associated with fewer infusion-related adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Infusion related adverse reactions may occur, however, at any rate or concentration. Drug additives should not be made to this solution. TYZAVAN concentrations of no more than 5 mg/mL are recommended in adults and pediatric patients (1 month and older) [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . See also age-specific recommendations [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . Administer TYZAVAN by a secure intravenous route of administration to reduce the risk of local irritation and phlebitis reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ] . Administer TYZAVAN prior to intravenous anesthetic agents to reduce the risk of infusion related adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . 2.2 Recommended Dosage in Adult Patients with Normal Renal Function The usual daily intravenous dosage of TYZAVAN is 2 grams (g) divided either as 500 mg every 6 hours or 1 g every 12 hours. Administer each dose by intravenous infusion over a period of 60 minutes or greater. Other patient factors, such as age or obesity, may call for modification of the usual intravenous daily dose. The initial daily dose should be no less than 15 mg/kg. 2.3 Recommended Dosage in Pediatric Patients (1 Month and Older) with Normal Renal Function If a dose of TYZAVAN is required that does not equal 500 mg, 750 mg, 1 g, 1.25 g, 1.5 g, 1.75 g or 2 g, this product is not recommended for use and an alternative formulation of vancomycin should be considered [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ] . Pediatric Patients (Aged 1 Month and Older) The usual intravenous dosage of TYZAVAN is 10 mg/kg per dose given every 6 hours. Each dose should be administered over a period of at least 60 minutes. Close monitoring of serum concentrations of vancomycin may be warranted in these patients. 2.4 Recommended Dosage in Adult Patients with Renal Impairment Dosage adjustment must be made in adult patients with renal impairment. The initial dose of TYZAVAN should be no less than 15 mg/kg in patients with any degree of renal impairment. In the elderly, greater dosage reductions than expected may be necessary because of decreased renal function. Measure trough vancomycin serum concentrations to guide therapy, especially in seriously ill patients with changing renal function. For functionally anephric patients, an initial dose of 15 mg/kg of body weight should be given t…

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Infusion Reactions : Hypotension, including shock and cardiac arrest, wheezing, dyspnea, urticaria, muscular and chest pain and “vancomycin infusion reactions” which manifests as pruritus and erythema that involves the face, neck and upper body may occur with rapid intravenous administration. To reduce the risk of infusion reactions, administer TYZAVAN over a period of 60 minutes or greater and also prior to intravenous anesthetic agents. ( 2.1, 5.1 ) Nephrotoxicity : Monitor renal function in all patients receiving TYZAVAN. ( 5.2 ) Ototoxicity : Serial tests of auditory function may be helpful. ( 5.3 ) Severe Dermatologic Reactions : Discontinue TYZAVAN at the first appearance of signs and symptoms of TEN, SJS, DRESS, AGEP, or LABD. ( 5.4 ) Clostridioides difficile -Associated Diarrhea (CDAD) : Evaluate patients if diarrhea occurs. ( 5.5 ). Neutropenia : Periodically monitor leukocyte count. ( 5.7 ) Phlebitis and Other Administration Site Reactions : Vancomycin is irritating to tissue and must be given by a secure intravenous route of administration. ( 5.8 ) 5.1 Infusion Reactions Hypotension, including shock and cardiac arrest, wheezing, dyspnea, urticaria or pruritus, muscular and chest pain may occur with rapid TYZAVAN administration (e.g., over several minutes). The reactions may be more severe in pediatric patients (1 month and older) [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ] . Rapid intravenous administration of TYZAVAN may also be associated with “vancomycin infusion reactions” which manifests as pruritus and erythema that involves the face, neck and upper body or pain and muscle spasm of the chest and back. There have been reports that the frequency of of infusion-related reactions (including hypotension, flushing, erythema, urticaria, and pruritus) increases with the concomitant administration of anesthetic agents. Infusion-related adverse reactions are related to both the concentration and the rate of administration of TYZAVAN. Infusion-related adverse reactions may occur, however, at any rate or concentration. Administer TYZAVAN over a period of 60 minutes or greater to reduce the risk of infusion-related adverse reactions. In selected patients in need of fluid restriction, a concentration up to 10 mg/mL may be used; use of such higher concentrations may increase the risk of infusion-related adverse reactions. Administer TYZAVAN as a 60-minute infusion prior to administration of intravenous anesthetic agents when feasible to minimize infusion-related adverse reactions. Stop the infusion if a reaction occurs because this usually results in prompt cessation of these reactions. 5.2 Nephrotoxicity TYZAVAN can result in acute kidney injury (AKI), including acute renal failure, mainly due to interstitial nephritis or less commonly acute tubular necrosis. AKI is manifested by increasing blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Cr). The risk of AKI increases with higher vancomycin serum levels, prolonged exposure, concomitant administration of other nephrotoxic drugs, concomitant administration of piperacillin-tazobactam [see Drug Interactions (7.2) ] , volume depletion, pre-existing renal impairment and in critically ill patients and patients with co-morbid conditions that predispose to renal impairment. Monitor serum vancomycin concentrations and renal function in all patients receiving TYZAVAN. More frequent monitoring is recommended in patients with comorbidities that predispose to impairment in renal function or are concomitantly receiving other nephrotoxic drugs, in critically ill patients, in patients with changing renal function, and in patients requiring higher therapeutic vancomycin levels. If acute kidney injury occurs, discontinue TYZAVAN or reduce the dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . 5.3 Ototoxicity Ototoxicity has occurred in patients receiving vancomycin. It may be reversible or permanent. Ototoxicity manifests as tinnitus, hearing loss, dizziness or vertigo. The…

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS TYZAVAN is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to vancomycin. Hypersensitivity to vancomycin ( 4 )

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. Monitor kidney function in patients receiving concomitant piperacillin/tazobactam and TYZAVAN. 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.

8.1 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 delayed or incomplete ossificati…

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).
