About Fesoterodine Fumarate

What is this medication? Fesoterodine fumarate is a prescription drug specifically formulated to manage the symptoms of an overactive bladder. It belongs to a class of medicines called antimuscarinics, which work by relaxing the muscles in the bladder wall. This relaxation helps to reduce the sudden, strong urges to urinate and decreases the overall frequency of urination. It is also effective at preventing episodes of urge incontinence, which is the accidental leaking of urine when a person feels a sudden need to go.

This medication is generally taken once a day and is designed to provide extended relief throughout the day and night. By improving bladder control, it allows individuals to participate more comfortably in daily activities without the constant worry of needing to find a restroom. While it is highly effective at managing symptoms, patients should consult with their healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dosage and to discuss any potential side effects or interactions with other medications they may be taking.

Warnings and precautions
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Angioedema: Promptly discontinue fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets and provide appropriate therapy. ( 5.1 ) Urinary Retention: Fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets are not recommended in patients with clinically significant bladder outlet obstruction because of the risk of urinary retention. ( 5.2 ) Decreased Gastrointestinal Motility: Fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets are not recommended for use in patients with decreased gastrointestinal motility, such as those with severe constipation. ( 5.3 ) Worsening of Narrow Angle Glaucoma: Use fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets with caution in patients being treated for narrow-angle glaucoma. ( 5.4 ) Central Nervous System Effects: Somnolence has been reported with fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets. Advise patients not to drive or operate heavy machinery until they know how fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets affects them. ( 5.5 ) Worsening of Myasthenia Gravis Symptoms: Use fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets with caution in patients with myasthenia gravis. ( 5.6 ) 5.1 Angioedema Angioedema of the face, lips, tongue, and/or larynx has been reported with fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets. In some cases, angioedema occurred after the first dose; however, cases have been reported to occur hours after the first dose or after multiple doses. Angioedema associated with upper airway swelling may be life-threatening. Fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets are contraindicated in patients with a known or suspected hypersensitivity to fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets or any of its ingredients [see Contraindications ( 4 )]. If involvement of the tongue, hypopharynx, or larynx occurs, fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets should be promptly discontinued and appropriate therapy and/or measures to ensure a patent airway should be promptly provided. 5.2 Urinary Retention in Adult Patients with Bladder Outlet Obstruction The use of fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets, like other antimuscarinic drugs, in patients with clinically significant bladder outlet obstruction, including patients with urinary retention, may result in further urinary retention and kidney injury. The use of fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets is not recommended in patients with clinically significant bladder outlet obstruction, and is contraindicated in patients with urinary retention [see Contraindications ( 4 ) and Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )]. 5.3 Decreased Gastrointestinal Motility Fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets are associated with decreased gastric motility. Fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets are contraindicated in patients with gastric retention [see Contraindications ( 4 )]. The use of fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets are not recommended in patients with decreased gastrointestinal motility, such as those with severe constipation. 5.4 Worsening of Narrow-Angle Glaucoma Fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets can worsen controlled narrow-angle glaucoma. Fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets are contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma [see Contraindications ( 4 )]. Fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets should be used with caution in patients being treated for narrow-angle glaucoma. 5.5 Central Nervous System Effects Fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets are associated with anticholinergic central nervous system (CNS) adverse reactions [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )]. A variety of CNS anticholinergic effects have been reported, including headache, dizziness, and somnolence. Patients should be monitored for signs of anticholinergic CNS effects, particularly after beginning treatment or increasing the dose. Advise patients not to drive or operate heavy machinery until they know how fesoterodine fumarate affects them. If a patient experiences anticholinergic CNS effects, fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets dose reduction or discontinuation should be considered. 5.6 Worsening of Myasthenia Gravis Symptoms Fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets should be used with caution in patients with myasthenia gravis due to the risk of worsening of symptoms of the disease.
Drug interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 Antimuscarinic Drugs Coadministration of fesoterodine fumarate with other antimuscarinic agents that produce dry mouth, constipation, urinary retention, and other anticholinergic pharmacological effects may increase the frequency and/or severity of such effects. Anticholinergic agents may potentially alter the absorption of some concomitantly administered drugs due to anticholinergic effects on gastrointestinal motility. 7.2 CYP3A4 Inhibitors Doses of fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets greater than 4 mg are not recommended in adult patients taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, and clarithromycin [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 )]. The fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets dose in pediatric patients taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors is recommended to be reduced to 4 mg once daily in patients >35 kg and is not recommended in patients weighing greater than 25 kg and up to 35 kg [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 )]. In a study in adults, coadministration of the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole with fesoterodine led to approximately a doubling of the maximum concentration (C max ) and area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) of 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine (5-HMT), the active metabolite of fesoterodine. Compared with CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers not taking ketoconazole, further increases in the exposure to 5-HMT were observed in subjects who were CYP2D6 poor metabolizers taking ketoconazole [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. There is no clinically relevant effect of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine. Following blockade of CYP3A4 by coadministration of the moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor fluconazole 200 mg twice a day for 2 days, the average (90% confidence interval) increase in C max and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine was approximately 19% (11% to 28%) and 27% (18% to 36%) respectively. No dosing adjustments are recommended in the presence of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., erythromycin, fluconazole, diltiazem, verapamil and grapefruit juice). The effect of weak CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., cimetidine) was not examined; it is not expected to be in excess of the effect of moderate inhibitors [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . 7.3 CYP3A4 Inducers No dosing adjustments are recommended in the presence of CYP3A4 inducers, such as rifampin and carbamazepine. Following induction of CYP3A4 by coadministration of rifampin 600 mg once a day, C max and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine decreased by approximately 70% and 75%, respectively, after oral administration of fesoterodine fumarate 8 mg. The terminal half-life of the active metabolite was not changed. 7.4 CYP2D6 Inhibitors The interaction with CYP2D6 inhibitors was not tested clinically. In poor metabolizers for CYP2D6, representing a maximum CYP2D6 inhibition, C max and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.7- and 2-fold, respectively. No dosing adjustments are recommended in the presence of CYP2D6 inhibitors. 7.5 Drugs Metabolized by Cytochrome P450 In vitro data indicate that at therapeutic concentrations, the active metabolite of fesoterodine does not have the potential to inhibit or induce Cytochrome P450 enzyme systems [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . 7.6 Oral Contraceptives In the presence of fesoterodine, there are no clinically significant changes in the plasma concentrations of combined oral contraceptives containing ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . 7.7 Warfarin A clinical study has shown that fesoterodine 8 mg once daily has no significant effect on the pharmacokinetics or the anticoagulant activity (PT/INR) of warfarin 25 mg. Standard therapeutic monitoring for warfarin should be continued [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . 7.8 Drug-Laboratory Test Interactions Interactions between fesoterodine fumarate and laboratory tests have not been studied.
Adverse reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in labeling: Angioedema [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Urinary Retention [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Decreased Gastrointestinal Motility [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Most frequently reported adverse events with fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets in adult patients with OAB (≥4%) were: dry mouth (placebo, 7%; fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets, 4 mg, 19%; fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets, 8 mg, 35%) and constipation (placebo, 2%; fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets, 4 mg, 4%; fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets, 8 mg, 6%). ( 6.1 ) Most frequently reported adverse reactions with fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets in pediatric patients (≥2%) with NDO were: diarrhea, urinary tract infection (UTI), dry mouth, constipation, abdominal pain, nausea, weight increased, and headache.

Adult Overactive Bladder (OAB) The safety of fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets was evaluated in Phase 2 and 3 controlled trials in a total of 2,859 patients with overactive bladder, of which 2,288 were treated with fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets. Of this total, 782 received fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 4 mg/day, and 785 received fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 8 mg/day with treatment periods of 8 weeks or 12 weeks. Approximately 80% of these patients had greater than 10 weeks of exposure to fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets in these trials. A total of 1,964 patients participated in two 12 week, Phase 3 efficacy and safety studies and subsequent open-label extension studies. In these two studies combined, 554 patients received fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 4 mg/day and 566 patients received fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 8 mg/day. In Phase 2 and 3 placebo-controlled trials combined, the incidences of serious adverse events in patients receiving placebo, fesoterodine fumarate 4 mg, and fesoterodine fumarate 8 mg were 1.9%, 3.5%, and 2.9%, respectively. All serious adverse events were judged to be not related or unlikely to be related to study medication by the investigator, except for four patients receiving fesoterodine fumarate who reported one serious adverse reaction each: angina, chest pain, gastroenteritis, and QT prolongation on ECG. The most commonly reported adverse event in patients treated with fesoterodine fumarate was dry mouth. The incidence of dry mouth was higher in those taking 8 mg/day (35%) and in those taking 4 mg/day (19%), as compared to placebo (7%). Dry mouth led to discontinuation in 0.4%, 0.4%, and 0.8% of patients receiving placebo, fesoterodine fumarate 4 mg, and fesoterodine fumarate 8 mg, respectively. For those patients who reported dry mouth, most had their first occurrence of the event within the first month of treatment. The second most commonly reported adverse event was constipation. The incidence of constipation was 2% in those taking placebo, 4% in those taking 4 mg/day, and 6% in those taking 8 mg/day. Table 4 lists adverse events, regardless of causality, that were reported in the combined Phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled trials at an incidence greater than placebo and in 1% or more of patients treated with fesoterodine fumarate 4 mg or 8 mg once daily for up to 12 weeks.

In all open-label trials combined, 857, 701, 529, and 105 patients received fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets for at least 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years, respectively. The adverse events observed during long-term, open-label studies were similar to those observed in the 12 week, placebo-controlled studies, and included dry mouth, constipation, dry eyes, dyspepsia, and abdominal pain. Similar to the controlled studies, most adverse events of dry mouth and constipation were mild to moderate in intensity. Serious adverse events, judged to be at least possibly related to study medication by the investigator and reported more than once during the open-label treatment period of up to 3 years, included urinary retention (3 cases), diverticulitis (3 cases), constipation (2 cases), irritable bowel syndrome (2 cases), and electrocardiogram QT corrected interval prolongation (2 cases). Pediatric Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity (NDO) The safety of fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets was evaluated in a total of 131 pediatric patients with NDO. Patients received fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 4 mg or fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 8 mg orally once daily in two clinical trials (Studies 3 and 4). Study 3 was a Phase 3 study in pediatric patients with NDO from 6 years to 17 years of age and weighing greater than 25 kg. This study consisted of a 12 week efficacy phase, in which 84 patients received fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets, followed by a 12 week safety extension phase, in which 103 patients received fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets. Of the 103 patients who received fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets in the safety extension phase, 67 continued fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets from the efficacy phase and 36 switched from an active comparator in the efficacy phase to fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets in the safety extension phase. Study 4 (N=11) was an 8 week, Phase 2 pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety study in pediatric patients with NDO from 8 years to 17 years of age. The most commonly reported adverse reactions in pediatric patients with NDO who received fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 4 mg or 8 mg in Study 3 (≥2%) were diarrhea, UTI, dry mouth, constipation, abdominal pain, nausea, weight increased and headache. Table 5 lists the adverse reactions reported at an incidence greater than or equal to 2% in either treatment group in the Study 3 efficacy phase.

The ophthalmological adverse reactions did not result in discontinuation of fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets in any patient. Increases in Heart Rate Increases in heart rate were reported in pediatric patients with NDO who received fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 4 mg and fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 8 mg in Study 3. The mean heart data are described in Table 6. Table 6 Mean Baseline and Mean Changes From Baseline in Heart Rate in Pediatric Patients Weighing Greater Than 25 kg in Study 3 1 Heart rate expressed as the mean of the baseline measurement and the mean at each study visit and mean changes from baseline at each study visit by original treatment group in patients with complete follow-up at all study visits.

Increases in heart rate in patients who received fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 4 mg and fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets 8 mg in Study 3 were not associated with clinical symptoms and did not result in discontinuation of therapy with fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Cardiac disorders: Palpitations Central nervous system disorders: Dizziness, headache, somnolence Eye disorders: Blurred vision Gastrointestinal disorders: Hypoaesthesia oral General disorders and administrative site conditions: Hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema with airway obstruction, face edema Psychiatric disorders: Confusional state Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: Urticaria, pruritus
Use in pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data with the use of fesoterodine fumarate in pregnant women and adolescents to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of fesoterodine to pregnant mice and rabbits during organogenesis resulted in fetotoxicity at maternal exposures that were 6 and 3 times respectively the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 8 mg/day, based on AUC (see Data) . The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population are unknown. However, in the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data No dose-related teratogenicity was observed in reproduction studies performed in mice and rabbits. In mice at 6 to 27 times the expected exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 8 mg based on AUC (75 mg/kg/day, oral), increased resorptions and decreased live fetuses were observed. One fetus with cleft palate was observed at each dose (15, 45, and 75 mg/kg/day), at an incidence within the background historical range. In rabbits treated at 3 to 11 times the MRHD (27 mg/kg/day, oral), incompletely ossified sternebrae (retardation of bone development) and reduced survival were observed in fetuses. In rabbits at 9 to 11 times the MRHD (4.5 mg/kg/day, subcutaneous), maternal toxicity and incompletely ossified sternebrae were observed in fetuses (at an incidence within the background historical range). In rabbits at 3 times the MRHD (1.5 mg/kg/day, subcutaneous), decreased maternal food consumption in the absence of any fetal effects was observed. Oral administration of 30 mg/kg/day fesoterodine to mice in a pre-and post-natal development study resulted in decreased body weight of the dams and delayed ear opening of the pups. No effects were noted on mating and reproduction of the F 1 dams or on the F 2 offspring.

How to read this:plans on the same formulary share tier + PA rules. Your specific plan's copay depends on (a) the tier above, (b) your plan's cost-share for that tier, (c) whether you're in the initial coverage phase or past the 2026 $2,000 out-of-pocket cap. For your exact plan, check its Summary of Benefits or log in to your Medicare.gov account. Copay cards don't apply to Medicare (federal law).
