Anlyses of seventeen plcebo-controlled trils (modl durtion of weeks), lrgely in ptients tking typicl ntipsychotic drugs, reveled risk of deth in drug-treted ptients of between. to.7 times the risk of deth in plcebo-treted ptients. Over the course of typicl -week controlled tril, the rte of deth in drug-treted ptients ws bout.%, compred to rte of bout.% in the plcebo group. Although the cuses of deth were vried, most of the deths ppered to be either crdiovsculr (e.g., hert filure, sudden deth) or infectious (e.g., pneumoni) in nture. Observtionl studies suggest tht, similr to typicl ntipsychotic drugs, tretment with conventionl ntipsychotic drugs my increse mortlity. The extent to which the findings of incresed mortlity in observtionl studies my be ttributed to the ntipsychotic drug s opposed to some chrcteristic(s) of the ptients is not cler. ZYPREXA (olnzpine) is not pproved for the tretment of ptients with dementi-relted psychosis [see Wrnings nd Precutions (.,.) nd Ptient Counseling Informtion (7.)]. When using ZYPREXA nd fluoxetine in combintion, lso refer to the Boxed Wrning section of the pckge insert for Symbyx.. INDICATIONS AND USAGE Schizophreni Orl ZYPREXA is indicted for the tretment of schizophreni. Efficcy ws estblished in three clinicl trils in dult ptients with schizophreni: two -week trils nd one mintennce tril. In dolescent ptients with schizophreni (ges -7), efficcy ws estblished in one -week tril [see Clinicl Studies (.)]. When deciding mong the lterntive tretments vilble for dolescents, clinicins should consider the incresed potentil (in dolescents s compred with dults) for weight gin nd dyslipidemi. Clinicins should consider
4 the potentil long-term risks when prescribing to dolescents, nd in mny cses this my led them to consider prescribing other drugs first in dolescents [see Wrnings nd Precutions (.)].. Bipolr I Disorder (Mnic or Mixed Episodes) Monotherpy Orl ZYPREXA is indicted for the cute tretment of mnic or mixed episodes ssocited with bipolr I disorder nd mintennce tretment of bipolr I disorder. Efficcy ws estblished in three clinicl trils in dult ptients with mnic or mixed episodes of bipolr I disorder: two - to -week trils nd one monotherpy mintennce tril. In dolescent ptients with mnic or mixed episodes ssocited with bipolr I disorder (ges -7), efficcy ws estblished in one -week tril [see Clinicl Studies (.)]. When deciding mong the lterntive tretments vilble for dolescents, clinicins should consider the incresed potentil (in dolescents s compred with dults) for weight gin nd dyslipidemi. Clinicins should consider the potentil long-term risks when prescribing to dolescents, nd in mny cses this my led them to consider prescribing other drugs first in dolescents [see Wrnings nd Precutions (.)]. Adjunctive Therpy to Lithium or Vlprote Orl ZYPREXA is indicted for the tretment of mnic or mixed episodes ssocited with bipolr I disorder s n djunct to lithium or vlprote. Efficcy ws estblished in two -week clinicl trils in dults. The effectiveness of djunctive therpy for longer-term use hs not been systemticlly evluted in controlled trils [see Clinicl Studies (.)].. Specil Considertions in Treting Peditric Schizophreni nd Bipolr I Disorder Peditric schizophreni nd bipolr I disorder re serious mentl disorders; however, dignosis cn be chllenging. For peditric schizophreni, symptom profiles cn be vrible, nd for bipolr I disorder, peditric ptients my hve vrible ptterns of periodicity of mnic or mixed symptoms. It is recommended tht mediction therpy for peditric schizophreni nd bipolr I disorder be initited only fter thorough dignostic evlution hs been performed nd creful considertion given to the risks ssocited with mediction tretment. Mediction tretment for both peditric schizophreni nd bipolr I disorder should be prt of totl tretment progrm tht often includes psychologicl, eductionl nd socil interventions.. ZYPREXA IntrMusculr: Agittion Associted with Schizophreni nd Bipolr I Mni ZYPREXA IntrMusculr is indicted for the tretment of cute gittion ssocited with schizophreni nd bipolr I mni. Efficcy ws demonstrted in short-term ( hours of IM tretment) plcebo-controlled trils in gitted dult inptients with: schizophreni or bipolr I disorder (mnic or mixed episodes) [see Clinicl Studies (.)]. Psychomotor gittion is defined in DSM-IV s excessive motor ctivity ssocited with feeling of inner tension. Ptients experiencing gittion often mnifest behviors tht interfere with their dignosis nd cre, e.g., thretening behviors, esclting or urgently distressing behvior, or self-exhusting behvior, leding clinicins to the use of intrmusculr ntipsychotic medictions to chieve immedite control of the gittion.. ZYPREXA nd Fluoxetine in Combintion: Depressive Episodes Associted with Bipolr I Disorder Orl ZYPREXA nd fluoxetine in combintion is indicted for the tretment of depressive episodes ssocited with bipolr I disorder, bsed on clinicl studies. When using ZYPREXA nd fluoxetine in combintion, refer to the Clinicl Studies section of the pckge insert for Symbyx. ZYPREXA monotherpy is not indicted for the tretment of depressive episodes ssocited with bipolr I disorder.. ZYPREXA nd Fluoxetine in Combintion: Tretment Resistnt Depression Orl ZYPREXA nd fluoxetine in combintion is indicted for the tretment of tretment resistnt depression (mjor depressive disorder in ptients who do not respond to seprte trils of different ntidepressnts of dequte dose nd durtion in the current episode), bsed on clinicl studies in dult ptients. When using ZYPREXA nd fluoxetine in combintion, refer to the Clinicl Studies section of the pckge insert for Symbyx. ZYPREXA monotherpy is not indicted for the tretment of tretment resistnt depression. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION. Schizophreni Adults Dose Selection Orl olnzpine should be dministered on once--dy schedule without regrd to mels, generlly beginning with to mg initilly, with trget dose of mg/dy within severl dys. Further dosge djustments, if indicted, should generlly occur t intervls of not less thn week, since stedy stte for olnzpine would not be chieved for pproximtely week in the typicl ptient. When dosge djustments re necessry, dose increments/decrements of mg QD re recommended. Efficcy in schizophreni ws demonstrted in dose rnge of to mg/dy in clinicl trils. However, doses bove mg/dy were not demonstrted to be more efficcious thn the mg/dy dose. An increse to dose greter thn the trget dose of mg/dy (i.e., to dose of mg/dy or greter) is recommended only fter clinicl ssessment. is not indicted for use in doses bove mg/dy. Dosing in Specil Popultions The recommended strting dose is mg in ptients who re debilitted, who hve predisposition to hypotensive rections, who otherwise exhibit combintion of fctors tht my result in slower
5 metbolism of olnzpine (e.g., nonsmoking femle ptients yers of ge), or who my be more phrmcodynmiclly sensitive to olnzpine [see Wrnings nd Precutions (.), Drug Interctions (7), nd Clinicl Phrmcology (.)]. When indicted, dose escltion should be performed with cution in these ptients. Mintennce Tretment The effectiveness of orl olnzpine, mg/dy to mg/dy, in mintining tretment response in schizophrenic ptients who hd been stble on ZYPREXA for pproximtely 8 weeks nd were then followed for relpse hs been demonstrted in plcebo-controlled tril [see Clinicl Studies (.)]. The physicin who elects to use ZYPREXA for extended periods should periodiclly reevlute the long-term usefulness of the drug for the individul ptient. Adolescents Dose Selection Orl olnzpine should be dministered on once--dy schedule without regrd to mels with recommended strting dose of. or mg, with trget dose of mg/dy. Efficcy in dolescents with schizophreni ws demonstrted bsed on flexible dose rnge of. to mg/dy in clinicl trils, with men modl dose of. mg/dy (men dose of. mg/dy). When dosge djustments re necessry, dose increments/decrements of. or mg re recommended. The sfety nd effectiveness of doses bove mg/dy hve not been evluted in clinicl trils [see Clinicl Studies (.)]. Mintennce Tretment The efficcy of ZYPREXA for the mintennce tretment of schizophreni in the dolescent popultion hs not been systemticlly evluted; however, mintennce efficcy cn be extrpolted from dult dt long with comprisons of olnzpine phrmcokinetic prmeters in dult nd dolescent ptients. Thus, it is generlly recommended tht responding ptients be continued beyond the cute response, but t the lowest dose needed to mintin remission. Ptients should be periodiclly ressessed to determine the need for mintennce tretment.. Bipolr I Disorder (Mnic or Mixed Episodes) Adults Dose Selection for Monotherpy Orl olnzpine should be dministered on once--dy schedule without regrd to mels, generlly beginning with or mg. Dosge djustments, if indicted, should generlly occur t intervls of not less thn hours, reflecting the procedures in the plcebo-controlled trils. When dosge djustments re necessry, dose increments/decrements of mg QD re recommended. Short-term (- weeks) ntimnic efficcy ws demonstrted in dose rnge of mg to mg/dy in clinicl trils. The sfety of doses bove mg/dy hs not been evluted in clinicl trils [see Clinicl Studies (.)]. Mintennce Monotherpy The benefit of mintining bipolr I ptients on monotherpy with orl ZYPREXA t dose of to mg/dy, fter chieving responder sttus for n verge durtion of weeks, ws demonstrted in controlled tril [see Clinicl Studies (.)]. The physicin who elects to use ZYPREXA for extended periods should periodiclly reevlute the long-term usefulness of the drug for the individul ptient. Dose Selection for Adjunctive Tretment When dministered s djunctive tretment to lithium or vlprote, orl olnzpine dosing should generlly begin with mg once--dy without regrd to mels. Antimnic efficcy ws demonstrted in dose rnge of mg to mg/dy in clinicl trils [see Clinicl Studies (.)]. The sfety of doses bove mg/dy hs not been evluted in clinicl trils. Adolescents Dose Selection Orl olnzpine should be dministered on once--dy schedule without regrd to mels with recommended strting dose of. or mg, with trget dose of mg/dy. Efficcy in dolescents with bipolr I disorder (mnic or mixed episodes) ws demonstrted bsed on flexible dose rnge of. to mg/dy in clinicl trils, with men modl dose of.7 mg/dy (men dose of 8. mg/dy). When dosge djustments re necessry, dose increments/decrements of. or mg re recommended. The sfety nd effectiveness of doses bove mg/dy hve not been evluted in clinicl trils [see Clinicl Studies (.)]. Mintennce Tretment The efficcy of ZYPREXA for the mintennce tretment of bipolr I disorder in the dolescent popultion hs not been evluted; however, mintennce efficcy cn be extrpolted from dult dt long with comprisons of olnzpine phrmcokinetic prmeters in dult nd dolescent ptients. Thus, it is generlly recommended tht responding ptients be continued beyond the cute response, but t the lowest dose needed to mintin remission. Ptients should be periodiclly ressessed to determine the need for mintennce tretment.. Administrtion of ZYPREXA ZYDIS (olnzpine orlly disintegrting tblets) After opening schet, peel bck foil on blister. Do not push tblet through foil. Immeditely upon opening the blister, using dry hnds, remove tblet nd plce entire ZYPREXA ZYDIS in the mouth. Tblet disintegrtion occurs rpidly in sliv so it cn be esily swllowed with or without liquid.. ZYPREXA IntrMusculr: Agittion Associted with Schizophreni nd Bipolr I Mni Dose Selection for Agitted Adult Ptients with Schizophreni nd Bipolr I Mni The efficcy of intrmusculr olnzpine for injection in controlling gittion in these disorders ws demonstrted in dose rnge of. mg to mg. The recommended dose in these ptients is mg. A lower dose of or 7. mg my be considered when clinicl fctors
6 wrrnt [see Clinicl Studies (.)]. If gittion wrrnting dditionl intrmusculr doses persists following the initil dose, subsequent doses up to mg my be given. However, the efficcy of repeted doses of intrmusculr olnzpine for injection in gitted ptients hs not been systemticlly evluted in controlled clinicl trils. Also, the sfety of totl dily doses greter thn mg, or mg injections given more frequently thn hours fter the initil dose, nd hours fter the second dose hve not been evluted in clinicl trils. Mximl dosing of intrmusculr olnzpine (e.g., doses of mg dministered - hours prt) my be ssocited with substntil occurrence of significnt orthosttic hypotension [see Wrnings nd Precutions (.)]. Thus, it is recommended tht ptients requiring subsequent intrmusculr injections be ssessed for orthosttic hypotension prior to the dministrtion of ny subsequent doses of intrmusculr olnzpine for injection. The dministrtion of n dditionl dose to ptient with cliniclly significnt posturl chnge in systolic blood pressure is not recommended. If ongoing olnzpine therpy is cliniclly indicted, orl olnzpine my be initited in rnge of - mg/dy s soon s cliniclly pproprite [see Dosge nd Administrtion (.,.)]. Intrmusculr Dosing in Specil Popultions A dose of mg/injection should be considered for geritric ptients or when other clinicl fctors wrrnt. A lower dose of. mg/injection should be considered for ptients who otherwise might be debilitted, be predisposed to hypotensive rections, or be more phrmcodynmiclly sensitive to olnzpine [see Wrnings nd Precutions (.), Drug Interctions (7), nd Clinicl Phrmcology (.)]. Administrtion of ZYPREXA IntrMusculr ZYPREXA IntrMusculr is intended for intrmusculr use only. Do not dminister intrvenously or subcutneously. Inject slowly, deep into the muscle mss.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS When using ZYPREXA nd fluoxetine in combintion, lso refer to the Wrnings nd Precutions section of the pckge insert for Symbyx.. Elderly Ptients with Dementi-Relted Psychosis Incresed Mortlity Elderly ptients with dementi-relted psychosis treted with ntipsychotic drugs re t n incresed risk of deth. ZYPREXA is not pproved for the tretment of ptients with dementi-relted psychosis [see Boxed Wrning, Wrnings nd Precutions (.), nd Ptient Counseling Informtion (7.)]. In plcebo-controlled clinicl trils of elderly ptients with dementi-relted psychosis, the incidence of deth in olnzpine-treted ptients ws significntly greter thn plcebo-treted ptients (.% vs.%, respectively). Cerebrovsculr Adverse Events (CVAE), Including Stroke Cerebrovsculr dverse events (e.g., stroke, trnsient ischemic ttck), including ftlities, were reported in ptients in trils of olnzpine in elderly ptients with dementi-relted psychosis. In plcebo-controlled trils, there ws significntly higher incidence of cerebrovsculr dverse events in ptients treted with olnzpine compred to ptients treted with plcebo. is not pproved for the tretment of ptients with dementi-relted psychosis [see Boxed Wrning nd Ptient Counseling Informtion (7.)].. Suicide The possibility of suicide ttempt is inherent in schizophreni nd in bipolr I disorder, nd close supervision of high-risk ptients should ccompny drug therpy. Prescriptions for olnzpine should be written for the smllest quntity of tblets consistent with good ptient mngement, in order to reduce the risk of overdose.. Neuroleptic Mlignnt Syndrome (NMS) A potentilly ftl symptom complex sometimes referred to s Neuroleptic Mlignnt Syndrome (NMS) hs been reported in ssocition with dministrtion of ntipsychotic drugs, including olnzpine. Clinicl mnifesttions of NMS re hyperpyrexi, muscle rigidity, ltered mentl sttus nd evidence of utonomic instbility (irregulr pulse or blood pressure, tchycrdi, diphoresis nd crdic dysrhythmi). Additionl signs my include elevted cretinine phosphokinse, myoglobinuri (rhbdomyolysis), nd cute renl filure. The dignostic evlution of ptients with this syndrome is complicted. In rriving t dignosis, it is importnt to exclude cses where the clinicl presenttion includes both serious medicl illness (e.g., pneumoni, systemic infection, etc.) nd untreted or indequtely treted extrpyrmidl signs nd symptoms (EPS). Other importnt considertions in the differentil dignosis include centrl nticholinergic toxicity, het stroke, drug fever, nd primry centrl nervous system pthology. The mngement of NMS should include: ) immedite discontinution of ntipsychotic drugs nd other drugs not essentil to concurrent therpy; ) intensive symptomtic tretment nd medicl monitoring; nd ) tretment of ny concomitnt serious medicl problems for which specific tretments re vilble. There is no generl greement bout specific phrmcologicl tretment regimens for NMS. If ptient requires ntipsychotic drug tretment fter recovery from NMS, the potentil reintroduction of drug therpy should be crefully considered. The ptient should be crefully monitored, since recurrences of NMS hve been reported [see Ptient Counseling Informtion (7.)].. Metbolic Chnges Atypicl ntipsychotic drugs hve been ssocited with metbolic chnges including hyperglycemi, dyslipidemi, nd weight gin. Metbolic chnges my be ssocited with incresed crdiovsculr/cerebrovsculr risk. s specific metbolic profile is presented below. Hyperglycemi nd Dibetes Mellitus
9 Physicins should consider the risks nd benefits when prescribing olnzpine to ptients with n estblished dignosis of dibetes mellitus, or hving borderline incresed blood glucose level (fsting - mg/dl, nonfsting - mg/dl). Ptients tking olnzpine should be monitored regulrly for worsening of glucose control. Ptients strting tretment with olnzpine should undergo fsting blood glucose testing t the beginning of tretment nd periodiclly during tretment. Any ptient treted with typicl ntipsychotics should be monitored for symptoms of hyperglycemi including polydipsi, polyuri, polyphgi, nd wekness. Ptients who develop symptoms of hyperglycemi during tretment with typicl ntipsychotics should undergo fsting blood glucose testing. In some cses, hyperglycemi hs resolved when the typicl ntipsychotic ws discontinued; however, some ptients required continution of nti-dibetic tretment despite discontinution of the suspect drug [see Ptient Counseling Informtion (7.)]. Hyperglycemi, in some cses extreme nd ssocited with ketocidosis or hyperosmolr com or deth, hs been reported in ptients treted with typicl ntipsychotics including olnzpine. Assessment of the reltionship between typicl ntipsychotic use nd glucose bnormlities is complicted by the possibility of n incresed bckground risk of dibetes mellitus in ptients with schizophreni nd the incresing incidence of dibetes mellitus in the generl popultion. Epidemiologicl studies suggest n incresed risk of tretment-emergent hyperglycemi-relted dverse rections in ptients treted with the typicl ntipsychotics. While reltive risk estimtes re inconsistent, the ssocition between typicl ntipsychotics nd increses in glucose levels ppers to fll on continuum nd olnzpine ppers to hve greter ssocition thn some other typicl ntipsychotics. Men increses in blood glucose hve been observed in ptients treted (medin exposure of. months) with olnzpine in phse of the Clinicl Antipsychotic Trils of Intervention Effectiveness (CATIE). The men increse of serum glucose (fsting nd nonfsting smples) from bseline to the verge of the highest serum concentrtions ws. mg/dl.

13 Trdive Dyskinesi A syndrome of potentilly irreversible, involuntry, dyskinetic movements my develop in ptients treted with ntipsychotic drugs. Although the prevlence of the syndrome ppers to be highest mong the elderly, especilly elderly women, it is impossible to rely upon prevlence estimtes to predict, t the inception of ntipsychotic tretment, which ptients re likely to develop the syndrome. Whether ntipsychotic drug products differ in their potentil to cuse trdive dyskinesi is unknown. The risk of developing trdive dyskinesi nd the likelihood tht it will become irreversible re believed to increse s the durtion of tretment nd the totl cumultive dose of ntipsychotic drugs dministered to the ptient increse. However, the syndrome cn develop, lthough much less commonly, fter reltively brief tretment periods t low doses or my even rise fter discontinution of tretment. There is no known tretment for estblished cses of trdive dyskinesi, lthough the syndrome my remit, prtilly or completely, if ntipsychotic tretment is withdrwn. Antipsychotic tretment, itself, however, my suppress (or prtilly suppress) the signs nd symptoms of the syndrome nd thereby my possibly msk the underlying process. The effect tht symptomtic suppression hs upon the long-term course of the syndrome is unknown. Given these considertions, olnzpine should be prescribed in mnner tht is most likely to minimize the occurrence of trdive dyskinesi. Chronic ntipsychotic tretment should generlly be reserved for ptients () who suffer from chronic illness tht is known to respond to ntipsychotic drugs, nd () for whom lterntive, eqully effective, but potentilly less hrmful tretments re not vilble or pproprite. In ptients who do require chronic tretment, the smllest dose nd the shortest durtion of tretment producing stisfctory clinicl response should be sought. The need for continued tretment should be ressessed periodiclly. If signs nd symptoms of trdive dyskinesi pper in ptient on olnzpine, drug discontinution should be considered. However, some ptients my require tretment with olnzpine despite the presence of the syndrome. For specific informtion bout the wrnings of lithium or vlprote, refer to the Wrnings section of the pckge inserts for these other products.. Orthosttic Hypotension my induce orthosttic hypotension ssocited with dizziness, tchycrdi, brdycrdi nd, in some ptients, syncope, especilly during the initil dose-titrtion period, probbly reflecting its α-drenergic ntgonistic properties [see Ptient Counseling Informtion (7.7)]. From n nlysis of the vitl sign dt in n integrted dtbse of completed clinicl studies in dult ptients treted with orl olnzpine, orthosttic hypotension ws recorded in % (77/) of ptients. For orl olnzpine therpy, the risk of orthosttic hypotension nd syncope my be minimized by inititing therpy with mg QD [see Dosge nd Administrtion ()]. A more grdul titrtion to the trget dose should be considered if hypotension occurs. Hypotension, brdycrdi with or without hypotension, tchycrdi, nd syncope were lso reported during the clinicl trils with intrmusculr olnzpine for injection. In n open-lbel clinicl phrmcology study in nongitted ptients with schizophreni in which the sfety nd tolerbility of intrmusculr olnzpine were evluted under mximl dosing regimen (three mg doses dministered hours prt), pproximtely one-third of these ptients experienced significnt orthosttic decrese in systolic blood pressure (i.e., decrese mmhg) [see Dosge nd Administrtion (.)]. Syncope ws reported in.% (/) of olnzpine-treted ptients in phse - orl olnzpine studies nd in.% (/7) of olnzpine-treted ptients with gittion in the intrmusculr olnzpine for injection studies. Three norml volunteers in phse studies with intrmusculr olnzpine experienced hypotension, brdycrdi, nd sinus puses of up to seconds tht spontneously resolved (in cses the rections occurred on intrmusculr olnzpine, nd in cse, on orl olnzpine). The risk for this sequence of hypotension, brdycrdi, nd sinus puse my be greter in nonpsychitric ptients compred to psychitric ptients who re possibly more dpted to certin effects of psychotropic drugs. For intrmusculr olnzpine for injection therpy, ptients should remin recumbent if drowsy or dizzy fter injection until exmintion hs indicted tht they re not experiencing posturl hypotension, brdycrdi, nd/or hypoventiltion. should be used with prticulr cution in ptients with known crdiovsculr disese (history of myocrdil infrction or ischemi, hert filure, or conduction bnormlities), cerebrovsculr disese, nd conditions which would predispose ptients to hypotension (dehydrtion, hypovolemi, nd tretment with ntihypertensive medictions) where the occurrence of syncope, or hypotension nd/or brdycrdi might put the ptient t incresed medicl risk. Cution is necessry in ptients who receive tretment with other drugs hving effects tht cn induce hypotension, brdycrdi, respirtory or centrl nervous system depression [see Drug Interctions (7)]. Concomitnt dministrtion of intrmusculr olnzpine nd prenterl benzodizepine is not recommended due to the potentil for excessive sedtion nd crdiorespirtory depression..7 Leukopeni, Neutropeni, nd Agrnulocytosis Clss Effect In clinicl tril nd/or postmrketing experience, events of leukopeni/neutropeni hve been reported temporlly relted to ntipsychotic gents, including ZYPREXA. Agrnulocytosis hs lso been reported. Possible risk fctors for leukopeni/neutropeni include pre-existing low white blood cell count (WBC) nd history of drug induced leukopeni/neutropeni. Ptients with history of cliniclly significnt low WBC or drug induced.
14 leukopeni/neutropeni should hve their complete blood count (CBC) monitored frequently during the first few months of therpy nd discontinution of ZYPREXA should be considered t the first sign of cliniclly significnt decline in WBC in the bsence of other custive fctors. Ptients with cliniclly significnt neutropeni should be crefully monitored for fever or other symptoms or signs of infection nd treted promptly if such symptoms or signs occur. Ptients with severe neutropeni (bsolute neutrophil count </mm) should discontinue ZYPREXA nd hve their WBC followed until recovery..8 Dysphgi Esophgel dysmotility nd spirtion hve been ssocited with ntipsychotic drug use. Aspirtion pneumoni is common cuse of morbidity nd mortlity in ptients with dvnced Alzheimer s disese. is not pproved for the tretment of ptients with Alzheimer s disese.. Seizures During premrketing testing, seizures occurred in.% (/) of olnzpine-treted ptients. There were confounding fctors tht my hve contributed to the occurrence of seizures in mny of these cses. should be used cutiously in ptients with history of seizures or with conditions tht potentilly lower the seizure threshold, e.g., Alzheimer s dementi. is not pproved for the tretment of ptients with Alzheimer s disese. Conditions tht lower the seizure threshold my be more prevlent in popultion of yers or older.. Potentil for Cognitive nd Motor Impirment Somnolence ws commonly reported dverse rection ssocited with olnzpine tretment, occurring t n incidence of % in olnzpine ptients compred to % in plcebo ptients. This dverse rection ws lso dose relted. Somnolence led to discontinution in.% (/) of ptients in the premrketing dtbse. Since olnzpine hs the potentil to impir judgment, thinking, or motor skills, ptients should be cutioned bout operting hzrdous mchinery, including utomobiles, until they re resonbly certin tht olnzpine therpy does not ffect them dversely [see Ptient Counseling Informtion (7.8)].. Body Temperture Regultion Disruption of the body s bility to reduce core body temperture hs been ttributed to ntipsychotic gents. Approprite cre is dvised when prescribing olnzpine for ptients who will be experiencing conditions which my contribute to n elevtion in core body temperture, e.g., exercising strenuously, exposure to extreme het, receiving concomitnt mediction with nticholinergic ctivity, or being subject to dehydrtion [see Ptient Counseling Informtion (7.)].. Use in Ptients with Concomitnt Illness Clinicl experience with olnzpine in ptients with certin concomitnt systemic illnesses is limited [see Clinicl Phrmcology (.)]. exhibits in vitro muscrinic receptor ffinity. In premrketing clinicl trils with olnzpine, olnzpine ws ssocited with constiption, dry mouth, nd tchycrdi, ll dverse rections possibly relted to cholinergic ntgonism. Such dverse rections were not often the bsis for discontinutions from olnzpine, but olnzpine should be used with cution in ptients with cliniclly significnt prosttic hypertrophy, nrrow ngle glucom, or history of prlytic ileus or relted conditions. In plcebo-controlled studies of olnzpine in elderly ptients with dementi-relted psychosis (n=8), the following tretment-emergent dverse rections were reported in olnzpine-treted ptients t n incidence of t lest % nd significntly greter thn plcebo-treted ptients: flls, somnolence, peripherl edem, bnorml git, urinry incontinence, lethrgy, incresed weight, stheni, pyrexi, pneumoni, dry mouth nd visul hllucintions. The rte of discontinution due to dverse rections ws greter with olnzpine thn plcebo (% vs 7%). Elderly ptients with dementi-relted psychosis treted with olnzpine re t n incresed risk of deth compred to plcebo. is not pproved for the tretment of ptients with dementi-relted psychosis [see Boxed Wrning, Wrnings nd Precutions (.), nd Ptient Counseling Informtion (7.)]. hs not been evluted or used to ny pprecible extent in ptients with recent history of myocrdil infrction or unstble hert disese. Ptients with these dignoses were excluded from premrketing clinicl studies. Becuse of the risk of orthosttic hypotension with olnzpine, cution should be observed in crdic ptients [see Wrnings nd Precutions (.)].. Hyperprolctinemi As with other drugs tht ntgonize dopmine D receptors, olnzpine elevtes prolctin levels, nd the elevtion persists during chronic dministrtion. Hyperprolctinemi my suppress hypothlmic GnRH, resulting in reduced pituitry gondotropin secretion. This, in turn, my inhibit reproductive function by impiring gondl steroidogenesis in both femle nd mle ptients. Glctorrhe, menorrhe, gynecomsti, nd impotence hve been reported in ptients receiving prolctin-elevting compounds. Long-stnding hyperprolctinemi when ssocited with hypogondism my led to decresed bone density in both femle nd mle subjects. Tissue culture experiments indicte tht pproximtely one-third of humn brest cncers re prolctin dependent in vitro, fctor of potentil importnce if the prescription of these drugs is contemplted in ptient with previously detected brest cncer. As is common with compounds which increse prolctin relese, n increse in mmmry glnd neoplsi ws observed in the olnzpine crcinogenicity studies conducted in mice nd rts [see Nonclinicl Toxicology
15 (.)]. Neither clinicl studies nor epidemiologic studies conducted to dte hve shown n ssocition between chronic dministrtion of this clss of drugs nd tumorigenesis in humns; the vilble evidence is considered too limited to be conclusive t this time. In plcebo-controlled olnzpine clinicl studies (up to weeks), chnges from norml to high in prolctin concentrtions were observed in % of dults treted with olnzpine s compred to.% of dults treted with plcebo. In pooled nlysis from clinicl studies including 8 dults treted with olnzpine, potentilly ssocited clinicl mnifesttions included menstrul-relted events (% [/] of femles), sexul function-relted events (% [/8] of femles nd mles), nd brest-relted events (.7% [/] of femles,.% [/8] of mles). In plcebo-controlled olnzpine monotherpy studies in dolescent ptients (up to weeks) with schizophreni or bipolr I disorder (mnic or mixed episodes), chnges from norml to high in prolctin concentrtions were observed in 7% of olnzpine-treted ptients compred to 7% of plcebo-treted ptients. In pooled nlysis from clinicl trils including dolescents treted with olnzpine, potentilly ssocited clinicl mnifesttions included menstrul relted events (% [/8] of femles), sexul function-relted events (.7% [/] of femles nd mles), nd brest relted events (% [/8] of femles, % [7/8] of mles) [see Use in Specific Popultions (8.)].

Clinicl Trils Experience Becuse clinicl trils re conducted under widely vrying conditions, dverse rection rtes observed in the clinicl trils of drug cnnot be directly compred to rtes in the clinicl trils of nother drug nd my not reflect or predict the rtes observed in prctice. Clinicl Trils in Adults The informtion below for olnzpine is derived from clinicl tril dtbse for olnzpine consisting of, dult ptients with pproximtely 7 ptient-yers of exposure to olnzpine plus 7 ptients with exposure to intrmusculr olnzpine for injection. This dtbse includes: () ptients who prticipted in multiple-dose orl olnzpine premrketing trils in schizophreni nd Alzheimer s disese representing pproximtely ptient-yers of exposure s of Februry, ; () 8 ptients who prticipted in orl olnzpine premrketing bipolr I disorder (mnic or mixed episodes) trils representing pproximtely ptient-yers of exposure; () ptients who prticipted in n orl olnzpine tril of ptients hving vrious psychitric symptoms in ssocition with Alzheimer s disese representing pproximtely ptient-yers of exposure; () 788 dditionl ptients from 88 orl olnzpine clinicl trils s of December, ; () 8 dditionl ptients from olnzpine clinicl trils s of October, ; nd () 7 ptients who prticipted in intrmusculr olnzpine for injection premrketing trils in gitted ptients with schizophreni, bipolr I disorder (mnic or mixed episodes), or dementi. Also included below is informtion from the premrketing -week clinicl study dtbse for olnzpine in combintion with lithium or vlprote, consisting of ptients who prticipted in bipolr I disorder (mnic or mixed episodes) trils with pproximtely ptient-yers of exposure. The conditions nd durtion of tretment with olnzpine vried gretly nd included (in overlpping ctegories) open-lbel nd double-blind phses of studies, inptients nd outptients, fixed-dose nd dose-titrtion studies, nd short-term or longer-term exposure. Adverse rections were ssessed by collecting dverse rections, results of physicl exmintions, vitl signs, weights, lbortory nlytes, ECGs, chest x-rys, nd results of ophthlmologic exmintions.
16 Certin portions of the discussion below relting to objective or numeric sfety prmeters, nmely, dosedependent dverse rections, vitl sign chnges, weight gin, lbortory chnges, nd ECG chnges re derived from studies in ptients with schizophreni nd hve not been duplicted for bipolr I disorder (mnic or mixed episodes) or gittion. However, this informtion is lso generlly pplicble to bipolr I disorder (mnic or mixed episodes) nd gittion. Adverse rections during exposure were obtined by spontneous report nd recorded by clinicl investigtors using terminology of their own choosing. Consequently, it is not possible to provide meningful estimte of the proportion of individuls experiencing dverse rections without first grouping similr types of rections into smller number of stndrdized rection ctegories. In the tbles nd tbultions tht follow, MedDRA nd COSTART Dictionry terminology hs been used to clssify reported dverse rections. The stted frequencies of dverse rections represent the proportion of individuls who experienced, t lest once, tretment-emergent dverse rection of the type listed. A rection ws considered tretment emergent if it occurred for the first time or worsened while receiving therpy following bseline evlution. The reported rections do not include those rection terms tht were so generl s to be uninformtive. Rections listed elsewhere in lbeling my not be repeted below. It is importnt to emphsize tht, lthough the rections occurred during tretment with olnzpine, they were not necessrily cused by it. The entire lbel should be red to gin complete understnding of the sfety profile of olnzpine. The prescriber should be wre tht the figures in the tbles nd tbultions cnnot be used to predict the incidence of side effects in the course of usul medicl prctice where ptient chrcteristics nd other fctors differ from those tht previled in the clinicl trils. Similrly, the cited frequencies cnnot be compred with figures obtined from other clinicl investigtions involving different tretments, uses, nd investigtors. The cited figures, however, do provide the prescribing physicin with some bsis for estimting the reltive contribution of drug nd nondrug fctors to the dverse rections incidence in the popultion studied. Incidence of Adverse Rections in Short-Term, Plcebo-Controlled nd Combintion Trils The following findings re bsed on premrketing trils of () orl olnzpine for schizophreni, bipolr I disorder (mnic or mixed episodes), subsequent tril of ptients hving vrious psychitric symptoms in ssocition with Alzheimer s disese, nd premrketing combintion trils, nd () intrmusculr olnzpine for injection in gitted ptients with schizophreni or bipolr I mni. Adverse Rections Associted with Discontinution of Tretment in Short-Term, Plcebo-Controlled Trils Schizophreni Overll, there ws no difference in the incidence of discontinution due to dverse rections (% for orl olnzpine vs % for plcebo). However, discontinutions due to increses in ALT were considered to be drug relted (% for orl olnzpine vs % for plcebo). Bipolr I Disorder (Mnic or Mixed Episodes) Monotherpy Overll, there ws no difference in the incidence of discontinution due to dverse rections (% for orl olnzpine vs % for plcebo).

Vitl Signs nd Lbortory Studies Vitl Sign Chnges Orl olnzpine ws ssocited with orthosttic hypotension nd tchycrdi in clinicl trils. Intrmusculr olnzpine for injection ws ssocited with brdycrdi, hypotension, nd tchycrdi in clinicl trils [see Wrnings nd Precutions ()]. Lbortory Chnges Monotherpy in Adults: An ssessment of the premrketing experience for olnzpine reveled n ssocition with symptomtic increses in ALT, AST, nd GGT. Within the originl premrketing dtbse of bout dult ptients with bseline ALT IU/L, the incidence of ALT elevtions to > IU/L ws % (/8). None of these ptients experienced jundice or other symptoms ttributble to liver impirment nd most hd trnsient chnges tht tended to normlize while olnzpine tretment ws continued. In plcebo-controlled olnzpine monotherpy studies in dults, cliniclly significnt ALT elevtions (chnge from < times the upper limit of norml [ULN] t bseline to times ULN) were observed in % (77/) of ptients exposed to olnzpine compred to % (/87) of ptients exposed to plcebo. ALT elevtions times ULN were observed in % (/8) of olnzpine-treted ptients, compred to.% (/) of plcebo-treted ptients. ALT vlues returned to norml, or were decresing, t lst follow-up in the mjority of ptients who either continued tretment with olnzpine or discontinued olnzpine. No ptient with elevted ALT vlues experienced jundice, liver filure, or met the criteri for Hy s Rule. From n nlysis of the lbortory dt in n integrted dtbse of completed clinicl studies in dult ptients treted with orl olnzpine, high GGT levels were recorded in % (88/) of ptients. Cution should be exercised in ptients with signs nd symptoms of heptic impirment, in ptients with preexisting conditions ssocited with limited heptic functionl reserve, nd in ptients who re being treted with potentilly heptotoxic drugs. dministrtion ws lso ssocited with increses in serum prolctin [see Wrnings nd Precutions (.)], with n symptomtic elevtion of the eosinophil count in.% of ptients, nd with n increse in CPK. From n nlysis of the lbortory dt in n integrted dtbse of completed clinicl studies in dult ptients treted with orl olnzpine, elevted uric cid ws recorded in % (7/) of ptients. Monotherpy in Adolescents: In plcebo-controlled clinicl trils of dolescent ptients with schizophreni or bipolr I disorder (mnic or mixed episodes), greter frequencies for the following tretment-emergent findings, t nytime, were observed in lbortory nlytes compred to plcebo: elevted ALT ( X ULN in ptients with ALT t bseline <X ULN), (% vs %); elevted AST (8% vs %); low totl bilirubin (% vs 7%); elevted GGT (% vs %); nd elevted prolctin (7% vs 7%). In plcebo-controlled olnzpine monotherpy studies in dolescents, cliniclly significnt ALT elevtions (chnge from < times ULN t bseline to times ULN) were observed in % (/) of ptients exposed to olnzpine compred to % (/) of ptients exposed to plcebo.

No dolescent ptient with elevted ALT vlues experienced jundice, liver filure, or met the criteri for Hy s Rule. ECG Chnges In pooled studies of dults s well s pooled studies of dolescents, there were no significnt differences between olnzpine nd plcebo in the proportions of ptients experiencing potentilly importnt chnges in ECG prmeters, including QT, QTc (Friderici corrected), nd PR intervls. use ws ssocited with men increse in hert rte compred to plcebo (dults: +. bets per minute vs no chnge with plcebo; dolescents: +. bets per minute vs -. bets per minute with plcebo). This increse in hert rte my be relted to olnzpine s potentil for inducing orthosttic chnges [see Wrnings nd Precutions (.)].. Postmrketing Experience The following dverse rections hve been identified during post-pprovl use of ZYPREXA. Becuse these rections re reported voluntrily from popultion of uncertin size, it is difficult to relibly estimte their frequency or evlute cusl reltionship to drug exposure. Adverse rections reported since mrket introduction tht were temporlly (but not necessrily cuslly) relted to ZYPREXA therpy include the following: llergic rection (e.g., nphylctoid rection, ngioedem, pruritus or urticri), cholesttic or mixed liver injury, dibetic com, dibetic ketocidosis, discontinution rection (diphoresis, nuse or vomiting), heptitis, jundice, neutropeni, pncretitis, pripism, rsh, rhbdomyolysis, nd venous thromboembolic events (including pulmonry embolism nd deep venous thrombosis). Rndom cholesterol levels of mg/dl nd rndom triglyceride levels of mg/dl hve been reported. 7 DRUG INTERACTIONS
25 The risks of using olnzpine in combintion with other drugs hve not been extensively evluted in systemtic studies. 7. Potentil for Other Drugs to Affect Dizepm The co-dministrtion of dizepm with olnzpine potentited the orthosttic hypotension observed with olnzpine [see Drug Interctions (7.)]. Cimetidine nd Antcids Single doses of cimetidine (8 mg) or luminum- nd mgnesium-contining ntcids did not ffect the orl biovilbility of olnzpine. Inducers of CYPA Crbmzepine therpy ( mg bid) cuses n pproximtely % increse in the clernce of olnzpine. This increse is likely due to the fct tht crbmzepine is potent inducer of CYPA ctivity. Higher dily doses of crbmzepine my cuse n even greter increse in olnzpine clernce. Alcohol Ethnol ( mg/7 kg single dose) did not hve n effect on olnzpine phrmcokinetics. The codministrtion of lcohol (i.e., ethnol) with olnzpine potentited the orthosttic hypotension observed with olnzpine [see Drug Interctions (7.)]. Inhibitors of CYPA Fluvoxmine: Fluvoxmine, CYPA inhibitor, decreses the clernce of olnzpine. This results in men increse in olnzpine Cmx following fluvoxmine of % in femle nonsmokers nd 77% in mle smokers. The men increse in olnzpine AUC is % nd 8%, respectively. Lower doses of olnzpine should be considered in ptients receiving concomitnt tretment with fluvoxmine. Inhibitors of CYPD Fluoxetine: Fluoxetine ( mg single dose or mg dily dose for 8 dys) cuses smll (men %) increse in the mximum concentrtion of olnzpine nd smll (men %) decrese in olnzpine clernce. The mgnitude of the impct of this fctor is smll in comprison to the overll vribility between individuls, nd therefore dose modifiction is not routinely recommended. When using ZYPREXA nd fluoxetine in combintion, lso refer to the Drug Interctions section of the pckge insert for Symbyx. Wrfrin Wrfrin ( mg single dose) did not ffect olnzpine phrmcokinetics [see Drug Interctions (7.)]. Inducers of CYPA or Glucuronyl Trnsferse Omeprzole nd rifmpin my cuse n increse in olnzpine clernce. Chrcol The dministrtion of ctivted chrcol ( g) reduced the Cmx nd AUC of orl olnzpine by bout %. As pek olnzpine levels re not typiclly obtined until bout hours fter dosing, chrcol my be useful tretment for olnzpine overdose. 7. Potentil for to Affect Other Drugs CNS Acting Drugs Given the primry CNS effects of olnzpine, cution should be used when olnzpine is tken in combintion with other centrlly cting drugs nd lcohol. Antihypertensive Agents, becuse of its potentil for inducing hypotension, my enhnce the effects of certin ntihypertensive gents. Levodop nd Dopmine Agonists my ntgonize the effects of levodop nd dopmine gonists. Lorzepm (IM) Administrtion of intrmusculr lorzepm ( mg) hour fter intrmusculr olnzpine for injection ( mg) did not significntly ffect the phrmcokinetics of olnzpine, unconjugted lorzepm, or totl lorzepm. However, this co-dministrtion of intrmusculr lorzepm nd intrmusculr olnzpine for injection dded to the somnolence observed with either drug lone [see Wrnings nd Precutions (.)]. Lithium Multiple doses of olnzpine ( mg for 8 dys) did not influence the kinetics of lithium. Therefore, concomitnt olnzpine dministrtion does not require dosge djustment of lithium [see Wrnings nd Precutions (.)]. Vlprote ( mg dily for weeks) did not ffect the stedy stte plsm concentrtions of vlprote. Therefore, concomitnt olnzpine dministrtion does not require dosge djustment of vlprote [see Wrnings nd Precutions (.)]. Effect of on Drug Metbolizing Enzymes In vitro studies utilizing humn liver microsomes suggest tht olnzpine hs little potentil to inhibit CYPA, CYPC, CYPC, CYPD, nd CYPA. Thus, olnzpine is unlikely to cuse cliniclly importnt drug interctions medited by these enzymes. Imiprmine Single doses of olnzpine did not ffect the phrmcokinetics of imiprmine or its ctive metbolite desiprmine. Wrfrin Single doses of olnzpine did not ffect the phrmcokinetics of wrfrin [see Drug Interctions (7.)]. Dizepm did not influence the phrmcokinetics of dizepm or its ctive metbolite Ndesmethyldizepm. However, dizepm co-dministered with olnzpine incresed the orthosttic hypotension observed with either drug given lone [see Drug Interctions (7.)]. Alcohol Multiple doses of olnzpine did not influence the kinetics of ethnol [see Drug Interctions (7.)]. Biperiden Multiple doses of olnzpine did not influence the kinetics of biperiden. Theophylline Multiple doses of olnzpine did not ffect the phrmcokinetics of theophylline or its metbolites. 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
26 When using ZYPREXA nd fluoxetine in combintion, lso refer to the Use in Specific Popultions section of the pckge insert for Symbyx. 8. Pregnncy Tertogenic Effects, Pregnncy Ctegory C In orl reproduction studies in rts t doses up to 8 mg/kg/dy nd in rbbits t doses up to mg/kg/dy ( nd times the mximum recommended humn dily orl dose on mg/m bsis, respectively) no evidence of tertogenicity ws observed. In n orl rt tertology study, erly resorptions nd incresed numbers of nonvible fetuses were observed t dose of 8 mg/kg/dy ( times the mximum recommended humn dily orl dose on mg/m bsis). Gesttion ws prolonged t mg/kg/dy ( times the mximum recommended humn dily orl dose on mg/m bsis). In n orl rbbit tertology study, fetl toxicity (mnifested s incresed resorptions nd decresed fetl weight) occurred t mternlly toxic dose of mg/kg/dy ( times the mximum recommended humn dily orl dose on mg/m bsis). Becuse niml reproduction studies re not lwys predictive of humn response, this drug should be used during pregnncy only if the potentil benefit justifies the potentil risk to the fetus. Plcentl trnsfer of olnzpine occurs in rt pups. There re no dequte nd well-controlled trils with olnzpine in pregnnt femles. Seven pregnncies were observed during clinicl trils with olnzpine, including resulting in norml births, resulting in neontl deth due to crdiovsculr defect, therpeutic bortions, nd spontneous bortion. Nontertogenic Effects Neontes exposed to ntipsychotic drugs (including ZYPREXA), during the third trimester of pregnncy re t risk for extrpyrmidl nd/or withdrwl symptoms following delivery. There hve been reports of gittion, hypertoni, hypotoni, tremor, somnolence, respirtory distress nd feeding disorder in these neontes. These complictions hve vried in severity; while in some cses symptoms hve been self-limited, in other cses neontes hve required intensive cre unit support nd prolonged hospitliztion. ZYPREXA should be used during pregnncy only if the potentil benefit justifies the potentil risk to the fetus. 8. Lbor nd Delivery The effect of olnzpine on lbor nd delivery in humns is unknown. Prturition in rts ws not ffected by olnzpine. 8. Nursing Mothers In study in lctting, helthy women, olnzpine ws excreted in brest milk. Men infnt dose t stedy stte ws estimted to be.8% of the mternl olnzpine dose. It is recommended tht women receiving olnzpine should not brest-feed. 8. Peditric Use The sfety nd effectiveness of orl ZYPREXA in the tretment of schizophreni nd mnic or mixed episodes ssocited with bipolr I disorder were estblished in short-term studies in dolescents (ges to 7 yers). Use of ZYPREXA in dolescents is supported by evidence from dequte nd well-controlled studies of ZYPREXA in which 8 dolescents received ZYPREXA in rnge of. to mg/dy [see Clinicl Studies (.,.)]. Recommended strting dose for dolescents is lower thn tht for dults [see Dosge nd Administrtion (.,.)]. Compred to ptients from dult clinicl trils, dolescents were likely to gin more weight, experience incresed sedtion, nd hve greter increses in totl cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, prolctin nd heptic minotrnsferse levels [see Wrnings nd Precutions (.,.,.) nd Adverse Rections (.)]. When deciding mong the lterntive tretments vilble for dolescents, clinicins should consider the incresed potentil (in dolescents s compred with dults) for weight gin nd dyslipidemi. Clinicins should consider the potentil long-term risks when prescribing to dolescents, nd in mny cses this my led them to consider prescribing other drugs first in dolescents [see Indictions nd Usge (.,.)]. Sfety nd effectiveness of olnzpine in children < yers of ge hve not been estblished [see Ptient Counseling Informtion (7.)]. Sfety nd efficcy of ZYPREXA nd fluoxetine in combintion in children nd dolescents ( to 7 yers of ge) hve been estblished for the cute tretment of depressive episodes ssocited with bipolr I disorder. Sfety nd effectiveness of ZYPREXA nd fluoxetine in combintion in children < yers of ge hve not been estblished. 8. Geritric Use Of the ptients in premrketing clinicl studies with orl olnzpine, % () were yers of ge or over. In ptients with schizophreni, there ws no indiction of ny different tolerbility of olnzpine in the elderly compred to younger ptients. Studies in elderly ptients with dementi-relted psychosis hve suggested tht there my be different tolerbility profile in this popultion compred to younger ptients with schizophreni. Elderly ptients with dementirelted psychosis treted with olnzpine re t n incresed risk of deth compred to plcebo. In plcebo-controlled studies of olnzpine in elderly ptients with dementi-relted psychosis, there ws higher incidence of cerebrovsculr dverse events (e.g., stroke, trnsient ischemic ttck) in ptients treted with olnzpine compred to ptients treted with plcebo. is not pproved for the tretment of ptients with dementi-relted psychosis. Also, the presence of fctors tht might decrese phrmcokinetic clernce or increse the phrmcodynmic response to
27 7 olnzpine should led to considertion of lower strting dose for ny geritric ptient [see Boxed Wrning, Dosge nd Administrtion (.), nd Wrnings nd Precutions (.)]. Clinicl studies of ZYPREXA nd fluoxetine in combintion did not include sufficient numbers of ptients yers of ge to determine whether they respond differently from younger ptients.. DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE Dependence In studies prospectively designed to ssess buse nd dependence potentil, olnzpine ws shown to hve cute depressive CNS effects but little or no potentil of buse or physicl dependence in rts dministered orl doses up to times the mximum recommended humn dily orl dose ( mg) nd rhesus monkeys dministered orl doses up to 8 times the mximum recommended humn dily orl dose on mg/m bsis. hs not been systemticlly studied in humns for its potentil for buse, tolernce, or physicl dependence. While the clinicl trils did not revel ny tendency for ny drug-seeking behvior, these observtions were not systemtic, nd it is not possible to predict on the bsis of this limited experience the extent to which CNS-ctive drug will be misused, diverted, nd/or bused once mrketed. Consequently, ptients should be evluted crefully for history of drug buse, nd such ptients should be observed closely for signs of misuse or buse of olnzpine (e.g., development of tolernce, increses in dose, drug-seeking behvior).. OVERDOSAGE Humn Experience In premrketing trils involving more thn ptients nd/or norml subjects, ccidentl or intentionl cute overdosge of olnzpine ws identified in 7 ptients. In the ptient tking the lrgest identified mount, mg, the only symptoms reported were drowsiness nd slurred speech. In the limited number of ptients who were evluted in hospitls, including the ptient tking mg, there were no observtions indicting n dverse chnge in lbortory nlytes or ECG. Vitl signs were usully within norml limits following overdoses. In postmrketing reports of overdose with olnzpine lone, symptoms hve been reported in the mjority of cses. In symptomtic ptients, symptoms with % incidence included gittion/ggressiveness, dysrthri, tchycrdi, vrious extrpyrmidl symptoms, nd reduced level of consciousness rnging from sedtion to com. Among less commonly reported symptoms were the following potentilly mediclly serious rections: spirtion, crdiopulmonry rrest, crdic rrhythmis (such s suprventriculr tchycrdi nd ptient experiencing sinus puse with spontneous resumption of norml rhythm), delirium, possible neuroleptic mlignnt syndrome, respirtory depression/rrest, convulsion, hypertension, nd hypotension. Eli Lilly nd Compny hs received reports of ftlity in ssocition with overdose of olnzpine lone. In cse of deth, the mount of cutely ingested olnzpine ws reported to be possibly s low s mg of orl olnzpine; however, in nother cse, ptient ws reported to survive n cute olnzpine ingestion of pproximtely g of orl olnzpine.. Mngement of Overdose For current informtion on the mngement of ZYPREXA (olnzpine) overdose, contct certified poison control center (-8-- or The possibility of multiple drug involvement should be considered. In cse of cute overdosge, estblish nd mintin n irwy nd ensure dequte oxygention nd ventiltion, which my include intubtion. Gstric lvge (fter intubtion, if ptient is unconscious) nd dministrtion of ctivted chrcol together with lxtive should be considered. The dministrtion of ctivted chrcol ( g) reduced the Cmx nd AUC of orl olnzpine by bout %. As pek olnzpine levels re not typiclly obtined until bout hours fter dosing, chrcol my be useful tretment for olnzpine overdose. The possibility of obtundtion, seizures, or dystonic rection of the hed nd neck following overdose my crete risk of spirtion with induced emesis. Crdiovsculr monitoring should commence immeditely nd should include continuous electrocrdiogrphic monitoring to detect possible rrhythmis. There is no specific ntidote to olnzpine. Therefore, pproprite supportive mesures should be initited. Hypotension nd circultory collpse should be treted with pproprite mesures such s intrvenous fluids nd/or sympthomimetic gents. (Do not use epinephrine, dopmine, or other sympthomimetics with bet-gonist ctivity, since bet stimultion my worsen hypotension in the setting of olnzpine-induced lph blockde.) Close medicl supervision nd monitoring should continue until the ptient recovers.

It is eliminted extensively by first pss metbolism, with pproximtely % of the dose metbolized before reching the systemic circultion. Food does not ffect the rte or extent of olnzpine bsorption. Phrmcokinetic studies showed tht ZYPREXA tblets nd ZYPREXA ZYDIS (olnzpine orlly disintegrting tblets) dosge forms of olnzpine re bioequivlent. displys liner kinetics over the clinicl dosing rnge. Its hlf-life rnges from to hours (th to th percentile; men of hr), nd pprent plsm clernce rnges from to 7 L/hr (th to th percentile; men of L/hr). Administrtion of olnzpine once dily leds to stedy-stte concentrtions in bout week tht re pproximtely twice the concentrtions fter single doses. Plsm concentrtions, hlf-life, nd clernce of olnzpine my vry between individuls on the bsis of smoking sttus, gender, nd ge. is extensively distributed throughout the body, with volume of distribution of pproximtely L. It is % bound to plsm proteins over the concentrtion rnge of 7 to ng/ml, binding primrily to lbumin nd α -cid glycoprotein. Metbolism nd Elimintion Following single orl dose of C lbeled olnzpine, 7% of the dose of olnzpine ws recovered in the urine s unchnged drug, indicting tht olnzpine is highly metbolized. Approximtely
29 7% nd % of the dose ws recovered in the urine nd feces, respectively. In the plsm, olnzpine ccounted for only % of the AUC for totl rdioctivity, indicting significnt exposure to metbolites. After multiple dosing, the mjor circulting metbolites were the -N-glucuronide, present t stedy stte t % of the concentrtion of olnzpine, nd -N-desmethyl olnzpine, present t stedy stte t % of the concentrtion of olnzpine. Both metbolites lck phrmcologicl ctivity t the concentrtions observed. Direct glucuronidtion nd cytochrome P (CYP) medited oxidtion re the primry metbolic pthwys for olnzpine. In vitro studies suggest tht CYPs A nd D, nd the flvin-contining monooxygense system re involved in olnzpine oxidtion. CYPD medited oxidtion ppers to be minor metbolic pthwy in vivo, becuse the clernce of olnzpine is not reduced in subjects who re deficient in this enzyme. Intrmusculr Administrtion ZYPREXA IntrMusculr results in rpid bsorption with pek plsm concentrtions occurring within to minutes. Bsed upon phrmcokinetic study in helthy volunteers, mg dose of intrmusculr olnzpine for injection produces, on verge, mximum plsm concentrtion pproximtely times higher thn the mximum plsm concentrtion produced by mg dose of orl olnzpine. Are under the curve chieved fter n intrmusculr dose is similr to tht chieved fter orl dministrtion of the sme dose. The hlf-life observed fter intrmusculr dministrtion is similr to tht observed fter orl dosing. The phrmcokinetics re liner over the clinicl dosing rnge. Metbolic profiles fter intrmusculr dministrtion re qulittively similr to metbolic profiles fter orl dministrtion. Specific Popultions Renl Impirment Becuse olnzpine is highly metbolized before excretion nd only 7% of the drug is excreted unchnged, renl dysfunction lone is unlikely to hve mjor impct on the phrmcokinetics of olnzpine. The phrmcokinetic chrcteristics of olnzpine were similr in ptients with severe renl impirment nd norml subjects, indicting tht dosge djustment bsed upon the degree of renl impirment is not required. In ddition, olnzpine is not removed by dilysis. The effect of renl impirment on metbolite elimintion hs not been studied. Heptic Impirment Although the presence of heptic impirment my be expected to reduce the clernce of olnzpine, study of the effect of impired liver function in subjects (n=) with cliniclly significnt (Childs Pugh Clssifiction A nd B) cirrhosis reveled little effect on the phrmcokinetics of olnzpine. Geritric In study involving helthy subjects, the men elimintion hlf-life of olnzpine ws bout. times greter in elderly ( yers) thn in nonelderly subjects (< yers). Cution should be used in dosing the elderly, especilly if there re other fctors tht might dditively influence drug metbolism nd/or phrmcodynmic sensitivity [see Dosge nd Administrtion ()]. Gender Clernce of olnzpine is pproximtely % lower in women thn in men. There were, however, no pprent differences between men nd women in effectiveness or dverse effects. Dosge modifictions bsed on gender should not be needed. Smoking Sttus clernce is bout % higher in smokers thn in nonsmokers, lthough dosge modifictions re not routinely recommended. Rce In vivo studies hve shown tht exposures re similr mong Jpnese, Chinese nd Cucsins, especilly fter normliztion for body weight differences. Dosge modifictions for rce re, therefore, not recommended. Combined Effects The combined effects of ge, smoking, nd gender could led to substntil phrmcokinetic differences in popultions. The clernce in young smoking mles, for exmple, my be times higher thn tht in elderly nonsmoking femles. Dosing modifiction my be necessry in ptients who exhibit combintion of fctors tht my result in slower metbolism of olnzpine [see Dosge nd Administrtion ()]. Adolescents (ges to 7 yers) In clinicl studies, most dolescents were nonsmokers nd this popultion hd lower verge body weight, which resulted in higher verge olnzpine exposure compred to dults.. NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY Crcinogenesis, Mutgenesis, Impirment of Fertility Crcinogenesis Orl crcinogenicity studies were conducted in mice nd rts. ws dministered to mice in two 78-week studies t doses of,, / mg/kg/dy (equivlent to.8- times the mximum recommended humn dily orl dose on mg/m bsis) nd.,, 8 mg/kg/dy (equivlent to.- times the mximum recommended humn dily orl dose on mg/m bsis). Rts were dosed for yers t doses of.,,., mg/kg/dy (mles) nd.,,, 8 mg/kg/dy (femles) (equivlent to.- nd.- times the mximum recommended humn dily orl dose on mg/m bsis, respectively). The incidence of liver hemngioms nd hemngiosrcoms ws significntly incresed in mouse study in femle mice dosed t 8 mg/kg/dy ( times the mximum recommended humn dily orl dose on mg/m bsis). These tumors were not incresed in nother mouse study in femles dosed t or / mg/kg/dy (- times the mximum recommended humn dily orl dose on mg/m bsis); in this study, there ws high incidence of erly mortlities in mles of the / mg/kg/dy group. The incidence of mmmry glnd denoms nd denocrcinoms ws significntly incresed in femle mice dosed t mg/kg/dy nd in femle rts dosed t mg/kg/dy (. nd times the mximum recommended humn dily orl dose on mg/m bsis, respectively). Antipsychotic drugs hve been shown to chroniclly elevte prolctin levels in rodents. Serum prolctin levels were not mesured during the olnzpine crcinogenicity studies; however,
30 mesurements during subchronic toxicity studies showed tht olnzpine elevted serum prolctin levels up to -fold in rts t the sme doses used in the crcinogenicity study. An increse in mmmry glnd neoplsms hs been found in rodents fter chronic dministrtion of other ntipsychotic drugs nd is considered to be prolctin medited. The relevnce for humn risk of the finding of prolctin medited endocrine tumors in rodents is unknown [see Wrnings nd Precutions (.)]. Mutgenesis No evidence of genotoxic potentil for olnzpine ws found in the Ames reverse muttion test, in vivo micronucleus test in mice, the chromosoml berrtion test in Chinese hmster ovry cells, unscheduled D synthesis test in rt heptocytes, induction of forwrd muttion test in mouse lymphom cells, or in vivo sister chromtid exchnge test in bone mrrow of Chinese hmsters. Impirment of Fertility In n orl fertility nd reproductive performnce study in rts, mle mting performnce, but not fertility, ws impired t dose of. mg/kg/dy nd femle fertility ws decresed t dose of mg/kg/dy ( nd. times the mximum recommended humn dily orl dose on mg/m bsis, respectively). Discontinunce of olnzpine tretment reversed the effects on mle mting performnce. In femle rts, the precoitl period ws incresed nd the mting index reduced t mg/kg/dy (. times the mximum recommended humn dily orl dose on mg/m bsis). Diestrous ws prolonged nd estrous delyed t. mg/kg/dy (. times the mximum recommended humn dily orl dose on mg/m bsis); therefore olnzpine my produce dely in ovultion.. Animl Toxicology nd/or Phrmcology In niml studies with olnzpine, the principl hemtologic findings were reversible peripherl cytopenis in individul dogs dosed t mg/kg (7 times the mximum recommended humn dily orl dose on mg/m bsis), doserelted decreses in lymphocytes nd neutrophils in mice, nd lymphopeni in rts. A few dogs treted with mg/kg developed reversible neutropeni nd/or reversible hemolytic nemi between nd months of tretment. Doserelted decreses in lymphocytes nd neutrophils were seen in mice given doses of mg/kg (equl to times the mximum recommended humn dily orl dose on mg/m bsis) in studies of months durtion. Nonspecific lymphopeni, consistent with decresed body weight gin, occurred in rts receiving. mg/kg ( times the mximum recommended humn dily orl dose on mg/m bsis) for months or mg/kg (8 times the mximum recommended humn dily orl dose on mg/m bsis) for or months. No evidence of bone mrrow cytotoxicity ws found in ny of the species exmined. Bone mrrows were normocellulr or hypercellulr, indicting tht the reductions in circulting blood cells were probbly due to peripherl (non-mrrow) fctors. CLINICAL STUDIES When using ZYPREXA nd fluoxetine in combintion, lso refer to the Clinicl Studies section of the pckge insert for Symbyx.. Schizophreni Adults The efficcy of orl olnzpine in the tretment of schizophreni ws estblished in short-term (-week) controlled trils of dult inptients who met DSM III-R criteri for schizophreni. A single hloperidol rm ws included s comprtive tretment in of the trils, but this tril did not compre these drugs on the full rnge of cliniclly relevnt doses for both. Severl instruments were used for ssessing psychitric signs nd symptoms in these studies, mong them the Brief Psychitric Rting Scle (BPRS), multi-item inventory of generl psychopthology trditionlly used to evlute the effects of drug tretment in schizophreni. The BPRS psychosis cluster (conceptul disorgniztion, hllucintory behvior, suspiciousness, nd unusul thought content) is considered prticulrly useful subset for ssessing ctively psychotic schizophrenic ptients. A second trditionl ssessment, the Clinicl Globl Impression (CGI), reflects the impression of skilled observer, fully fmilir with the mnifesttions of schizophreni, bout the overll clinicl stte of the ptient. In ddition, more recently developed scles were employed; these included the -item Positive nd Negtive Symptoms Scle (PANSS), in which re embedded the 8 items of the BPRS, nd the Scle for Assessing Negtive Symptoms (SANS). The tril summries below focus on the following outcomes: PANSS totl nd/or BPRS totl; BPRS psychosis cluster; PANSS negtive subscle or SANS; nd CGI Severity. The results of the trils follow: () In -week, plcebo-controlled tril (n=) involving fixed olnzpine doses of nd mg/dy (once dily schedule), olnzpine, t mg/dy (but not t mg/dy), ws superior to plcebo on the PANSS totl score (lso on the extrcted BPRS totl), on the BPRS psychosis cluster, on the PANSS Negtive subscle, nd on CGI Severity. () In -week, plcebo-controlled tril (n=) involving fixed dose rnges of olnzpine ( ±. mg/dy, ±. mg/dy, nd ±. mg/dy) on once dily schedule, the highest olnzpine dose groups (ctul men doses of nd mg/dy, respectively) were superior to plcebo on BPRS totl score, BPRS psychosis cluster, nd CGI severity score; the highest olnzpine dose group ws superior to plcebo on the SANS. There ws no cler dvntge for the high-dose group over the medium-dose group. () In longer-term tril, dult outptients (n=) who predominntly met DSM-IV criteri for schizophreni nd who remined stble on olnzpine during open-lbel tretment for t lest 8 weeks were rndomized to continution on their current olnzpine doses (rnging from to mg/dy) or to plcebo. The follow-up period to observe ptients for relpse, defined in terms of increses in BPRS positive symptoms or hospitliztion, ws plnned for months, however, criteri were met for stopping the tril erly due to n excess of plcebo relpses compred to olnzpine
31 relpses, nd olnzpine ws superior to plcebo on time to relpse, the primry outcome for this study. Thus, olnzpine ws more effective thn plcebo t mintining efficcy in ptients stbilized for pproximtely 8 weeks nd followed for n observtion period of up to 8 months. Exmintion of popultion subsets (rce nd gender) did not revel ny differentil responsiveness on the bsis of these subgroupings. Adolescents The efficcy of orl olnzpine in the cute tretment of schizophreni in dolescents (ges to 7 yers) ws estblished in -week double-blind, plcebo-controlled, rndomized tril of inptients nd outptients with schizophreni (n=7) who met dignostic criteri ccording to DSM-IV-TR nd confirmed by the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders nd Schizophreni for School Aged Children-Present nd Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL). The primry rting instrument used for ssessing psychitric signs nd symptoms in this tril ws the Anchored Version of the Brief Psychitric Rting Scle for Children (BPRS-C) totl score. In this flexible-dose tril, olnzpine. to mg/dy (men modl dose. mg/dy, men dose of. mg/dy) ws more effective thn plcebo in the tretment of dolescents dignosed with schizophreni, s supported by the sttisticlly significntly greter men reduction in BPRS-C totl score for ptients in the olnzpine tretment group thn in the plcebo group. While there is no body of evidence vilble to nswer the question of how long the dolescent ptient treted with ZYPREXA should be mintined, mintennce efficcy cn be extrpolted from dult dt long with comprisons of olnzpine phrmcokinetic prmeters in dult nd dolescent ptients. It is generlly recommended tht responding ptients be continued beyond the cute response, but t the lowest dose needed to mintin remission. Ptients should be periodiclly ressessed to determine the need for mintennce tretment.. Bipolr I Disorder (Mnic or Mixed Episodes) Adults Monotherpy The efficcy of orl olnzpine in the tretment of mnic or mixed episodes ws estblished in short-term (one -week nd one -week) plcebo-controlled trils in dult ptients who met the DSM-IV criteri for bipolr I disorder with mnic or mixed episodes. These trils included ptients with or without psychotic fetures nd with or without rpid-cycling course. The primry rting instrument used for ssessing mnic symptoms in these trils ws the Young Mni Rting Scle (Y-MRS), n -item clinicin-rted scle trditionlly used to ssess the degree of mnic symptomtology (irritbility, disruptive/ggressive behvior, sleep, elevted mood, speech, incresed ctivity, sexul interest, lnguge/thought disorder, thought content, ppernce, nd insight) in rnge from (no mnic fetures) to (mximum score). The primry outcome in these trils ws chnge from bseline in the Y-MRS totl score. The results of the trils follow: () In one -week plcebo-controlled tril (n=7) which involved dose rnge of olnzpine (- mg/dy, once dily, strting t mg/dy), olnzpine ws superior to plcebo in the reduction of Y-MRS totl score. In n identiclly designed tril conducted simultneously with the first tril, olnzpine demonstrted similr tretment difference, but possibly due to smple size nd site vribility, ws not shown to be superior to plcebo on this outcome. () In -week plcebo-controlled tril (n=) which involved dose rnge of olnzpine (- mg/dy, once dily, strting t mg/dy), olnzpine ws superior to plcebo in the reduction of Y-MRS totl score. () In nother tril, ptients meeting DSM-IV criteri for mnic or mixed episode of bipolr I disorder who hd responded during n initil open-lbel tretment phse for bout weeks, on verge, to olnzpine to mg/dy were rndomized to either continution of olnzpine t their sme dose (n=) or to plcebo (n=), for observtion of relpse. Approximtely % of the ptients hd discontinued from the olnzpine group by dy nd % of the plcebo group hd discontinued by dy of double-blind tretment. Response during the open-lbel phse ws defined by hving decrese of the Y-MRS totl score to nd HAM-D to 8. Relpse during the double-blind phse ws defined s n increse of the Y-MRS or HAM-D totl score to, or being hospitlized for either mni or depression. In the rndomized phse, ptients receiving continued olnzpine experienced significntly longer time to relpse. Adjunct to Lithium or Vlprote The efficcy of orl olnzpine with concomitnt lithium or vlprote in the tretment of mnic or mixed episodes ws estblished in controlled trils in ptients who met the DSM-IV criteri for bipolr I disorder with mnic or mixed episodes. These trils included ptients with or without psychotic fetures nd with or without rpid-cycling course. The results of the trils follow: () In one -week plcebo-controlled combintion tril, 7 outptients on lithium or vlprote therpy with indequtely controlled mnic or mixed symptoms (Y-MRS ) were rndomized to receive either olnzpine or plcebo, in combintion with their originl therpy. (in dose rnge of - mg/dy, once dily, strting t mg/dy) combined with lithium or vlprote (in therpeutic rnge of. meq/l to. meq/l or µg/ml to µg/ml, respectively) ws superior to lithium or vlprote lone in the reduction of Y-MRS totl score. () In second -week plcebo-controlled combintion tril, outptients on lithium or vlprote therpy with indequtely controlled mnic or mixed symptoms (Y-MRS ) were rndomized to receive either olnzpine or plcebo, in combintion with their originl therpy. (in dose rnge of - mg/dy, once dily, strting t mg/dy)
32 combined with lithium or vlprote (in therpeutic rnge of. meq/l to. meq/l or µg/ml to µg/ml, respectively) ws superior to lithium or vlprote lone in the reduction of Y-MRS totl score. Adolescents Acute Monotherpy The efficcy of orl olnzpine in the tretment of cute mnic or mixed episodes in dolescents (ges to 7 yers) ws estblished in -week, double-blind, plcebo-controlled, rndomized tril of dolescent inptients nd outptients who met the dignostic criteri for mnic or mixed episodes ssocited with bipolr I disorder (with or without psychotic fetures) ccording to the DSM-IV-TR (n=). Dignosis ws confirmed by the K-SADS-PL. The primry rting instrument used for ssessing mnic symptoms in this tril ws the Adolescent Structured Young-Mni Rting Scle (Y-MRS) totl score. In this flexible-dose tril, olnzpine. to mg/dy (men modl dose.7 mg/dy, men dose of 8. mg/dy) ws more effective thn plcebo in the tretment of dolescents with mnic or mixed episodes ssocited with bipolr I disorder, s supported by the sttisticlly significntly greter men reduction in Y-MRS totl score for ptients in the olnzpine tretment group thn in the plcebo group. While there is no body of evidence vilble to nswer the question of how long the dolescent ptient treted with ZYPREXA should be mintined, mintennce efficcy cn be extrpolted from dult dt long with comprisons of olnzpine phrmcokinetic prmeters in dult nd dolescent ptients. It is generlly recommended tht responding ptients be continued beyond the cute response, but t the lowest dose needed to mintin remission. Ptients should be periodiclly ressessed to determine the need for mintennce tretment.. Agittion Associted with Schizophreni nd Bipolr I Mni The efficcy of intrmusculr olnzpine for injection for the tretment of gittion ws estblished in short-term ( hours of IM tretment) plcebo-controlled trils in gitted dult inptients from dignostic groups: schizophreni nd bipolr I disorder (mnic or mixed episodes). Ech of the trils included single ctive comprtor tretment rm of either hloperidol injection (schizophreni studies) or lorzepm injection (bipolr I mni study). Ptients enrolled in the trils needed to be: () judged by the clinicl investigtors s cliniclly gitted nd cliniclly pproprite cndidtes for tretment with intrmusculr mediction, nd () exhibiting level of gittion tht met or exceeded threshold score of on the items comprising the Positive nd Negtive Syndrome Scle (PANSS) Excited Component (i.e., poor impulse control, tension, hostility, uncoopertiveness nd excitement items) with t lest individul item score using -7 scoring system (=bsent, =moderte, 7=extreme). In the studies, the men bseline PANSS Excited Component score ws 8., with scores rnging from to (out of mximum score of ), thus suggesting predominntly moderte levels of gittion with some ptients experiencing mild or severe levels of gittion. The primry efficcy mesure used for ssessing gittion signs nd symptoms in these trils ws the chnge from bseline in the PANSS Excited Component t hours post-injection. Ptients could receive up to injections during the hour IM tretment periods; however, ptients could not receive the second injection until fter the initil hour period when the primry efficcy mesure ws ssessed. The results of the trils follow: () In plcebo-controlled tril in gitted inptients meeting DSM-IV criteri for schizophreni (n=7), fixed intrmusculr olnzpine for injection doses of. mg, mg, 7. mg nd mg were evluted. All doses were sttisticlly superior to plcebo on the PANSS Excited Component t hours post-injection. However, the effect ws lrger nd more consistent for the highest doses. There were no significnt pirwise differences for the 7. nd mg doses over the mg dose. () In second plcebo-controlled tril in gitted inptients meeting DSM-IV criteri for schizophreni (n=), fixed intrmusculr olnzpine for injection dose of mg ws evluted. for injection ws sttisticlly superior to plcebo on the PANSS Excited Component t hours post-injection. () In plcebo-controlled tril in gitted inptients meeting DSM-IV criteri for bipolr I disorder (nd currently displying n cute mnic or mixed episode with or without psychotic fetures) (n=), fixed intrmusculr olnzpine for injection dose of mg ws evluted. for injection ws sttisticlly superior to plcebo on the PANSS Excited Component t hours post-injection. Exmintion of popultion subsets (ge, rce, nd gender) did not revel ny differentil responsiveness on the bsis of these subgroupings. HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLING.
