Dosing in kidney impairment
Renal Impairment Monitor for potential adverse reactions when ICOTYDE is used in patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min [see Clinical Pharmacology ] .
Preparation and administration
Recommended Dosage and Administration Instructions The recommended dosage of ICOTYDE is 200 mg administered orally once daily. Administer ICOTYDE upon waking on an empty stomach with water. Wait at least 30 minutes after taking ICOTYDE before eating food. Swallow ICOTYDE whole. Do not crush, split, or chew tablets [see Clinical Pharmacology ] .
If a patient misses a dose, instruct patients to take the missed dose as soon as possible with a return to normal dosing schedule the following day.
Alternative Preparation and Administration Instructions for Patients Who Have Difficulty Swallowing Tablets ICOTYDE 200 mg tablet can also be dispersed in water using the following instructions: Place one ICOTYDE tablet in a cup containing at least 120 mL (4 ounces) of water. It may take a few minutes for the tablet to disperse.
The tablet may not completely disperse. The mixture may look yellow, milky, or cloudy, and small pieces may be seen in the water which are safe to swallow. Gently swirl the cup before drinking and swallowing the full mixture. Add at least 120 mL (4 ounces) of additional water to the cup and completely swallow the contents to make sure the whole dose is taken.
Complete administration of ICOTYDE within 15 minutes of dispersion in water.

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary The available data on the use of ICOTYDE during pregnancy are insufficient to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In an animal reproduction study in rabbits, oral administration of icotrokinra to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis at a dose 157 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) based on AUC comparison resulted in maternal body weight loss, low food consumption, late pregnancy loss, and an increased fetal incidence of fused ribs (see Data ) . The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown.
All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defects, loss, and other adverse outcomes. 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. There is a pregnancy safety study for ICOTYDE. If a patient becomes pregnant while receiving ICOTYDE, healthcare providers can report ICOTYDE exposure by calling 1-800-526-7736 or visiting www.ICOTYDE.com. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study, icotrokinra was administered to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis at oral doses of 70, 200, and 1000 mg/kg/day.
No maternal or embryo-fetal toxicity was observed at doses up to 1000 mg/kg/day (297 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). In another embryo-fetal development study, icotrokinra was administered to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis at oral doses of 50, 200, and 500 mg/kg/day. Maternal body weight loss, low food consumption, late pregnancy loss, and an increased fetal incidence of fused ribs were observed at 500 mg/kg/day (157 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). No maternal or embryo-fetal toxicity was noted at doses up to 200 mg/kg/day in rabbits (27 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison).
In a pre- and post-natal development study in rats, icotrokinra was administered to pregnant rats during pregnancy and lactation periods at oral doses of 20, 70, and 200 mg/kg/day. No maternal or developmental toxicity was noted in doses up to 200 mg/kg/day (127 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison).

Not the price at the counterThese are not what a patient pays at the pharmacy counter. They are what pharmacies, health plans, and government buyers pay, before manufacturer rebates. A patient's cost depends on their insurance (copay, coinsurance, or deductible) or the pharmacy's cash price.
