Frequencies are defined as follows: very common (≥ 1/10); common (≥ 1/100 to < 1/10); uncommon (≥ 1/1 000 to < 1/100); rare (≥ 1/10 000 to < 1/1 000); very rare (< 1/10 000); not known (cannot be estimated from the available data).
Within each frequency grouping, adverse reactions are presented in order of decreasing seriousness. 6 Table 1: Adverse reactions observed in clinical studies and post-marketing surveillance System organ class Frequency Adverse reactions Nervous system disorders Very common Headachea Gastrointestinal disorders Very common Abdominal painb, Diarrhoeac Common Vomiting, Gastroesophageal reflux, Flatulence Not known Nausea Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders Common Rash Investigationsd Common ALT increased, AST increased a Includes the events of Headache, Sinus headache b Includes the events of Abdominal pain, Abdominal discomfort, Abdominal pain upper, Abdominal pain lower, Epigastric discomfort, Abdominal tenderness c Includes the events of Diarrhoea, Faeces soft, Frequent bowel movements d LFT elevations, which generally improved with or without discontinuation of berotralstat, were observed in some patients, primarily in those who discontinued androgen therapy within 14 days of initiating Orladeyo treatment.
