ERAXIS Indication and Important Safety Information
 

Please scroll to see the Indication below.

Important Safety Information

Abnormalities in LFTs have been observed with ERAXIS. Clinically significant hepatic abnormalities have occurred in some patients with serious underlying medical conditions who were receiving multiple medications concomitantly with ERAXIS. Isolated cases of significant hepatic dysfunction, hepatitis, or worsening hepatic failure have been reported, but a causal relationship with ERAXIS has not been established. Patients who develop abnormal LFTs during ERAXIS therapy should be monitored for evidence of worsening hepatic function and evaluated for risk/benefit of continuing ERAXIS therapy.

Possible histamine-mediated symptoms have been reported with ERAXIS, including rash, urticaria, flushing, pruritus, dyspnea, and hypotension. These events are infrequent when the rate of infusion does not exceed 1.1 mg/min.

In the treatment of candidemia, the most common treatment-related AEs included diarrhea (3.1%), hypokalemia (3.1%), and elevated ALT (2.3%).

Indication

ERAXIS is indicated for candidemia and other forms of Candida infection (intra-abdominal abscess and peritonitis). ERAXIS has not been studied in endocarditis, osteomyelitis, and meningitis due to Candida, and has not been studied in sufficient numbers of neutropenic patients to determine efficacy in this group.
