Dosing in kidney impairment
Renal Impairment No dose adjustment is recommended in patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m 2 [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . RIVFLOZA has not been studied in PH1 patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ).
Dosing in liver impairment
Hepatic Impairment No dose adjustment of RIVFLOZA is recommended for patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal [ULN] and aspartate aminotransferase [AST] > ULN or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 times ULN and any AST). RIVFLOZA has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >
Preparation and administration

Enter a dose to see draw volume, final concentration, and rates.
Administration Instructions Pre-filled syringe: A healthcare provider, caregiver, or patient 12 years of age and older may inject RIVFLOZA using the pre-filled syringe. In pediatric patients 2 to less than 12 years of age who weigh ≥39 kg, a healthcare provider or caregiver may inject RIVFLOZA using the pre-filled syringe.
Vials: RIVFLOZA vials are intended for use under the guidance and supervision of a healthcare provider. Adult patients or caregivers may administer RIVFLOZA after proper training in preparing RIVFLOZA vials for administration, if a healthcare provider determines that it is appropriate, and with medical follow-up as necessary.
Administer RIVFLOZA by subcutaneous injection to the abdomen (at least 2 inches from the navel) or the upper thigh. Do not inject into a vein or into scarred or bruised skin. Inspect visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to injection. RIVFLOZA should be colorless-to-yellow and particle free. If the solution is cloudy or contains particulate matter, do not use.
Instructions for delivering the dosage are provided in the Instructions for Use leaflets enclosed with the RIVFLOZA Pre-filled Syringe and single-dose vial. Discard the unused portion of the drug.

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Available data from reports of pregnancy in clinical trials with RIVFLOZA are insufficient to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, no adverse developmental effects were observed when nedosiran was administered to pregnant mice at doses up to approximately 58 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 160 mg nedosiran (equivalent to 170 mg nedosiran sodium) per dose, based on body surface area (BSA) or upon administration of a mouse-specific (pharmacologically active) analog.
Subcutaneous administration of nedosiran to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis at doses approximating the MRHD resulted in increased fetal loss in the presence of maternal toxicity. Adverse developmental outcomes (fetal cardiovascular and skeletal malformations) were observed at a dose approximately 2 times the MRHD (see Data). Nedosiran is not pharmacologically active in rabbits or mice. The cause for the embryo-fetal toxicities observed in rabbits remains unclear. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or 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. Data Animal Data In mice, subcutaneous administration of nedosiran at doses up to 2000 mg/kg/dose (approximately 58 times the MRHD based on BSA) or a mouse-specific (pharmacologically active) analog (10 mg/kg/dose) during organogenesis (dosing on gestation days 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 for nedosiran; gestation days 3 and 10 for the analog) did not have adverse effects on embryo-fetal development.
Subcutaneous administration of nedosiran (0, 2, 6 or 20 mg/kg/dose) to pregnant rabbits during organogenesis (dosing on gestation days 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, and 19) resulted in maternal toxicity on the basis of body weight loss of up to 6.5% following the first dose in the 6 and 20 mg/kg/dose groups. Higher post-implantation loss and lower numbers of live fetuses occurred at ≥6 mg/kg/dose (exposures equivalent to the MRHD based on BSA), and fetal cardiovascular and skeletal malformations occurred at the 20 mg/kg/dose (2 times the MRHD based on BSA). At the 2 mg/kg/dose, which is below the MRHD, no adverse findings were seen.

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.
