1 Dosing Considerations • XCOPRI may be taken at any time with or without food. Swallow tablets whole with liquid. Do not split, crush or chew. • XCOPRI is administered orally once daily. • Usual maintenance dose is 200 mg once daily. • Maximum daily dose is 400 mg, if needed, based on clinical response and tolerability.
This dose was associated with a higher frequency of severe adverse events and discontinuations due to adverse events during the controlled clinical trials (see 8 ADVERSE REACTIONS). Doses greater than 400 mg may lead to QT shortening greater than 20 msec (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Cardiovascular).
• Maximum recommended dose in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment is 200 mg once daily, or lower, as required. 3 Pharmacokinetics, Special Populations and Conditions, Hepatic Insufficiency). • Maximum recommended dose in patients with mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment is 200 mg once daily.
Avoid use in patients with end-stage renal disease or on dialysis. • It is recommended that discontinuation of cenobamate be undertaken gradually over a period of at least 2 weeks (if possible) to minimize the potential for rebound seizures, unless safety concerns require abrupt withdrawal (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS)/Multiorgan Hypersensitivity).
2 Recommended Dose and Dosage Adjustment Recommended Dose The recommended initial dose and subsequent titration to target maintenance dose should not be exceeded because of the potential for serious adverse reactions (Table 1; see 3 SERIOUS WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS BOX).
5 mg once daily Titration Regimen Week 3 and 4 25 mg once daily Week 5 and 6 50 mg once daily Week 7 and 8 100 mg once daily Week 9 and 10 150 mg once daily Maintenance Dose Week 11 and thereafter 200 mg once daily XCOPRI (cenobamate tablets) Page 6 of 39 If needed based on clinical response and tolerability, dose may be increased above 200 mg by increments of 50 mg once daily every two weeks to a maximum daily dose of 400 mg.

XCOPRI (cenobamate tablets) Page 7 of 39 5 OVERDOSAGE Signs, Symptoms, and Laboratory Findings of Acute Overdose in Humans There is limited clinical experience with XCOPRI overdose in humans. During pre-market clinical trials of XCOPRI, the types of adverse events experienced by patients exposed to acute XCOPRI overdose were mostly similar to those observed in patients administered therapeutic doses of the drug.
Dizziness was reported in a patient who took one 400 mg dose of XCOPRI in the morning followed by another 400 mg dose in the evening. Tachycardia, dizziness, somnolence and nausea were the most frequently reported adverse reactions reported with supratherapeutic single doses (500-750 mg) of XCOPRI.
The highest known non-lethal overdose of XCOPRI is 800 mg within one day and 750 mg of XCOPRI as a single dose. Management of Overdose There is no specific antidote for overdose with XCOPRI. In the event of overdose, standard medical practice for the management of any overdose should be used.
An adequate airway, oxygenation and ventilation should be ensured; monitoring of cardiac rate and rhythm and vital signs is recommended. A certified poison control center should be contacted for updated information on the management of overdose with XCOPRI.
There is no data on the removal of XCOPRI using dialysis. For management of a suspected drug overdose, contact your regional poison control centre. 5 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg, and 200 mg Tablet cores (all strengths): Colloidal silicon dioxide, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, purified water, and sodium starch glycolate Film-coating: 25 mg and 100 mg tablets: FD&C blue indigo carmine aluminum […]
