About VUSION

What is this medication?

Vusion is a prescription topical ointment used to treat diaper dermatitis, commonly known as diaper rash, in infants and children who are at least four weeks of age. It is specifically formulated for cases where the rash is complicated by a documented fungal infection caused by Candida albicans, which is a type of yeast. The medication works through a combination of three active ingredients: miconazole nitrate, which targets and kills the fungal organisms; zinc oxide, which creates a protective barrier on the skin; and white petrolatum, which helps to soothe and moisturize the irritated area.

This medication is intended only for the treatment of active infections and should not be used as a preventive measure for general diaper rash. It is typically applied in a thin layer at each diaper change for a specific period directed by a healthcare provider, usually lasting about seven days. Because it contains an antifungal agent, it is important to use it only when a yeast infection has been confirmed by a medical professional. If the condition does not show signs of improvement within the prescribed treatment window, parents should contact a doctor for further assessment.

Prescribing information

From the FDA-approved label for VUSION. Official source: DailyMed (NLM) · Label effective Aug 15, 2018

Indications and usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE • VUSION Ointment is indicated for adjunctive treatment of diaper dermatitis when complicated by documented candidiasis (microscopic evidence of pseudohyphae and /or budding yeast) in immunocompetent pediatric patients 4 weeks and older. ( 1.1 ) • VUSION Ointment should not be used as a substitute for frequent diaper changes. ( 1.1 ) • VUSION Ointment should not be used to prevent the occurrence of diaper dermatitis, since preventative use may result in the development of drug resistance. ( 1.2 ) 1.1 Indication VUSION Ointment is indicated for the adjunctive treatment of diaper dermatitis only when complicated by documented candidiasis (microscopic evidence of pseudohyphae and/or budding yeast), in immunocompetent pediatric patients 4 weeks and older. A positive fungal culture for Candida albicans is not adequate evidence of candidal infection since colonization with C. albicans can result in a positive culture. The presence of candidal infection should be established by microscopic evaluation prior to initiating treatment. VUSION should be used as part of a treatment regimen that includes measures directed at the underlying diaper dermatitis, including gentle cleansing of the diaper area and frequent diaper changes. VUSION should not be used as a substitute for frequent diaper changes. 1.2 Limitations of Use The safety and efficacy of VUSION have not been demonstrated in immunocompromised patients, or in infants less than 4 weeks of age (premature or term). The safety and efficacy of VUSION have not been evaluated in incontinent adult patients. VUSION should not be used to prevent the occurrence of diaper dermatitis, such as in an adult institutional setting, since preventative use may result in the development of drug resistance.
Dosage and administration
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION VUSION is not for oral, ophthalmic, or intravaginal use. Before applying VUSION, gently cleanse the skin with lukewarm water and pat dry with a soft towel. Avoid using any scented soaps, shampoos, or lotions on the diaper area. Gently apply a thin layer of VUSION to the diaper area with each diaper change for 7 days. Do not rub VUSION into the skin as this may cause additional irritation. Thoroughly wash hands after applying VUSION. Continue treatment for the full 7 days, even if there is improvement. Do not use VUSION for longer than 7 days. The safety of VUSION when used for longer than 7 days is not known. If symptoms have not improved by day 7, see your health care provider. • VUSION Ointment is for topical use only. VUSION Ointment is not for oral, ophthalmic, or intravaginal use. ( 2 ) • VUSION Ointment should be applied as a thin layer to the affected area at each diaper change for 7 days. ( 2 ) • VUSION Ointment should be used as part of a treatment regimen that includes gentle cleansing of the diaper area and frequent diaper changes. ( 2 )

Warnings and precautions
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • If irritation occurs or if the disease worsens, discontinue use of the medication, and contact the health care provider. ( 5.1 ) 5.1 Skin Irritation If irritation occurs or if the disease worsens, discontinue use of the medication, and contact the health care provider.
Drug interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Drug-drug interaction studies were not conducted. Women who take a warfarin anticoagulant and use a miconazole intravaginal cream or suppository may be at risk for developing an increased prothrombin time, international normalized ratio (INR), and bleeding. The potential for this interaction between warfarin and VUSION is unknown.
Adverse reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Mylan at 1-877-446-3679 (1-877-4-INFO-RX) or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rate observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. A total of 835 infants and young children were evaluated in the clinical development program. Of 418 subjects in the VUSION group, 58 (14%) reported one or more adverse events. Of 417 subjects in the zinc oxide/white petrolatum control group, 85 (20%) reported one or more adverse events. Adverse events that occurred at a rate of ≥ 1% for subjects who were treated with VUSION were approximately the same in type and frequency as for subjects who were treated with zinc oxide/white petrolatum ointment. 6.2 Post-marketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of VUSION. 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. Gastrointestinal Disorders: vomiting General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions: burning sensation, condition aggravated, inflammation, pain Injury, Poisoning and Procedural Complications: accidental exposure Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: blister, dermatitis contact, diaper dermatitis, dry skin, erythema, pruritus, rash, skin exfoliation
Use in pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on VUSION Ointment use in pregnant women to inform a drug‑associated risk for adverse developmental outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, prolonged gestation, increased number of resorptions, and decreased numbers of live young were observed after oral administration of miconazole nitrate during organogenesis to pregnant rats and rabbits. No comparisons of animal exposure with human exposure may be calculated due to minimal systemic exposure in humans after topical administration of VUSION [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. 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 Miconazole nitrate administration has been shown to result in prolonged gestation and decreased numbers of live young in rats and in increased number of resorptions and decreased number of live young in rabbits at oral doses of 100 mg/kg/day and 80 mg/kg/day.
