5%). Tabulated list of adverse reactions Adverse reactions are listed according to MedDRA system organ class. Within each system organ class, the adverse reactions are ranked by frequency, with the most frequent reactions first. In addition, the corresponding frequency category for each adverse reaction is defined as: 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 available data).

8% of patients treated with remibrutinib. 3%). 0% were moderate in severity. The median time to onset was 25 days and the median duration was 22 days. All cases resolved spontaneously without additional treatment. No association between mucocutaneous bleeding events and low platelet counts was observed.
Risk of bleeding Mild to moderate mucocutaneous bleeding events have occurred in patients treated with remibrutinib. 8). Patients receiving antithrombotic agents with remibrutinib may be at an increased risk of bleeding. 5). Patients should be instructed to seek medical advice if signs and symptoms suggestive of significant bleeding occur.
If significant bleeding is suspected, treatment with remibrutinib should be interrupted. Upon resolution, treatment may be resumed if the benefit is expected to outweigh the risk. 2). Vaccinations The safety of remibrutinib with live or live-attenuated vaccines has not been studied.
5). 4 The safety of remibrutinib with non-live vaccines has been studied, therefore non-live vaccines can be given during remibrutinib treatment. 5). 5). Concomitant use with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors increases remibrutinib exposure and consequently may increase the risk for adverse reactions with remibrutinib.
5). Concomitant use with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inducers decreases remibrutinib exposure and consequently may decrease the efficacy of remibrutinib. 5). 5). Excipient with known effect This medicinal product contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per film-coated tablet, that is to say essentially “sodium-free”.
