3. Announcing SELZENTRY TM
(maraviroc) tablets
The first approved CCR5 antagonist and only oral entry inhibitor
A new approach to the
treatment of HIV...
Important safety considerations: SELZENTRY, in combination with other
antiretroviral agents, is indicated for treatment-experienced adult patients
infected with only CCR5-tropic HIV-1 detectable, who have evidence of viral
replication and HIV-1 strains resistant to multiple antiretroviral agents.
WARNING: Hepatotoxicity has been reported with SELZENTRY use. Evidence of a
systemic allergic reaction (e.g., pruritic rash, eosinophilia or elevated IgE) prior to the
development of hepatotoxicity may occur. Patients with signs or symptoms of hepatitis or
allergic reaction following use of SELZENTRY should be evaluated immediately.
There is limited experience in patients with reduced hepatic function; therefore, SELZENTRY
should be used with caution in this population. Discontinuation of SELZENTRY should be considered
in any patient with signs or symptoms of hepatitis, or with increased liver transaminases combined with
rash or other systemic symptoms.
The safety and efficacy of SELZENTRY have not been specifically studied in patients with significant underlying
liver disorders such as patients co-infected with viral hepatitis B or C. Caution should be used when administering
SELZENTRY to patients with pre-existing liver dysfunction or who are co-infected with viral hepatitis B or C.
Use with caution in patients at increased risk of cardiovascular events. More cardiovascular events including myocardial
ischemia and/or infarction were observed in patients who received SELZENTRY.
Caution should be used when administering SELZENTRY in patients with a history of postural hypotension or who receive
concomitant medication known to lower blood pressure. Patients should be advised that if they experience dizziness while
receiving SELZENTRY, they should avoid driving or operating machinery.
Immune reconstitution syndrome has been reported in patients treated with combination antiretroviral therapy,
including SELZENTRY.
There are no data available in pediatric patients; therefore, SELZENTRY should not be used in patients <16 years old.
Please see brief summary of full prescribing information, including boxed warning, on adjacent pages.
