Boxed warning
WARNING: SERIOUS AND LIFE-THREATENING RISKS FROM USE OF OLINVYK Addiction, Abuse, and Misuse Because the use of OLINVYK exposes patients and other users to the risks of opioid addiction, abuse, and misuse, which can lead to overdose and death, assess each patient’s risk prior to prescribing and reassess all patients regularly for the development of these behaviors and conditions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Life-Threatening Respiratory Depression Serious, life-threatening, or fatal respiratory depression may occur with use of OLINVYK, especially during initiation or following a dosage increase.
To reduce the risk of respiratory depression, proper dosing and titration of OLINVYK are essential [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )]. Risks From Concomitant Use With Benzodiazepines Or Other CNS Depressants Concomitant use of opioids with benzodiazepines or other central nervous system (CNS) depressants, including alcohol, may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death. Reserve concomitant prescribing of OLINVYK and benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options are inadequate [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 ), Drug Interactions ( 7 )].
Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome Advise pregnant women using opioids for an extended period of time of the risk of Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome, which may be life-threatening if not recognized and treated. Ensure that management by neonatology experts will be available at delivery [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )].

Dosing in kidney impairment
Renal Impairment In patients with end-stage renal disease, there was no clinically significant change in oliceridine clearance. Therefore, dosage adjustment of OLINVYK in patients with renal impairment is not required [see Clinical Pharmacology] .
Dosing in liver impairment
Hepatic Impairment In patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment, no adjustment of the initial dose is needed; however, these patients may require less frequent dosing. When using OLINVYK in patients with severe hepatic impairment, consider reducing the initial dose, and administer subsequent doses only after a careful review of the patient’s severity of pain and overall clinical status [see Clinical Pharmacology].

Important Dosage and Administration Instructions For intravenous administration only. OLINVYK should be prescribed only by healthcare professionals who are knowledgeable about the use of opioids and how to mitigate the associated risks. Individual single doses greater than 3 mg have not been evaluated. The cumulative daily dose should not exceed 27 mg.
OLINVYK 30 mg/30 mL (1mg/mL) vial is intended for patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) use only. Draw OLINVYK directly from the vial into the PCA syringe or IV bag without diluting. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration consistent with individual patient treatment goals [see Warnings and Precautions] . Because the risk of overdose increases as opioid doses increase, reserve titration to higher doses of OLINVYK for patients in whom lower doses are insufficiently effective and in whom the expected benefits of using a higher dose opioid clearly outweigh the substantial risks.
Use of OLINVYK beyond 48 hours has not been studied in controlled clinical trials. There is variability in opioid analgesic dose and duration needed to adequately manage pain due both to the cause of pain and to individual patient factors. Initiate the dosing regimen for each patient individually, taking into account the patient's underlying cause and severity of pain, prior analgesic treatment and response, and risk factors for addiction, abuse, and misuse] .
Respiratory depression can occur at any time during opioid therapy, especially when initiating and following dosage increases with OLINVYK. Consider this risk when selecting an initial dose and when making dose adjustments [see Warnings and Precautions ] . Inspect OLINVYK for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration.
The solution is a clear, colorless, preservative free solution for intravenous use. If visibly opaque particles, discoloration, or other foreign particles are observed, do not use.
Drug interactions
Check oliceridine against a medication listLabel text (13 paragraphs)
Table 6 includes clinically significant drug interactions with OLINVYK. Table 6: Clinically Significant Drug Interactions with OLINVYK Moderate to Strong Inhibitors of CYP2D6 Clinical Impact: Concomitant administration of a moderate to strong CYP2D6 inhibitor can increase the plasma concentration of oliceridine [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , resulting in increased or prolonged opioid effects. Intervention: If concomitant use is necessary, patients taking a moderate to strong CYP2D6 inhibitor may require less frequent dosing of OLINVYK.
Monitor closely for respiratory depression and sedation at frequent intervals and base subsequent doses on the patient’s severity of pain and response to treatment. If a CYP2D6 inhibitor is discontinued, increase of the OLINVYK dosage may be considered until stable drug effects are achieved. Monitor for signs of opioid withdrawal. Examples: Paroxetine, fluoxetine, quinidine, bupropion Moderate to Strong Inhibitors of CYP3A4 Clinical Impact: The concomitant administration of moderate to strong CYP3A4 inhibitors can increase the plasma concentration of oliceridine, resulting in increased or prolonged opioid adverse reactions.
After stopping a CYP3A4 inhibitor, as the effects of the inhibitor decline, the oliceridine concentration may decrease, resulting in decreased opioid efficacy or a withdrawal syndrome in patients who had developed physical dependence to oliceridine [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.14 )] . Intervention: Caution should be used when administering OLINVYK to patients taking inhibitors of the CYP3A4 enzyme. If concomitant use is necessary, patients taking a CYP3A4 inhibitor may require less frequent dosing. Monitor patients for respiratory depression and sedation at frequent intervals.
If a CYP3A4 inhibitor is discontinued, increase of the OLINVYK dosage may be considered until stable drug effects are achieved. Monitor for signs of opioid withdrawal. Examples: Macrolide antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin), azole-antifungal agents (e.g. ketoconazole), protease inhibitors (e.g., ritonavir). Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors and CYP2D6 Inhibitors Clinical Impact: OLINVYK is primarily metabolized by both CYP3A4 and CYP2D6. Compared to inhibition of either metabolic pathway, inhibition of both pathways can result in a greater increase of the plasma concentrations of oliceridine and prolong opioid adverse reactions [See Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )].
Intervention: Patients who are CYP2D6 normal metabolizers taking a CYP2D6 inhibitor, and a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor (or discontinuation of CYP3A4 inducers) may require less frequent dosing. Patients who are known CYP2D6 poor metabolizers and taking a CYP3A4 inhibitor (or discontinuation of CYP3A4 inducers) may require less frequent dosing. These patients should be closely monitored for respiratory depression and sedation at frequent intervals, and subsequent doses should be based on the patient’s severity of pain and response to treatment.
Examples: Inhibitors of CYP3A4: Macrolide antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin), azole-antifungal agents (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole), anti-retroviral agents, selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs), protease inhibitors (e.g., ritonavir), NS3/4A inhibitors. Inhibitors of CYP2D6: Paroxetine, fluoxetine, quinidine, bupropion Inducers of CYP3A4 Clinical Impact: The concomitant use of OLINVYK and CYP3A4 inducers can decrease the plasma concentration of oliceridine [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , resulting in decreased efficacy or onset of a withdrawal syndrome in patients who have developed physical dependence to oliceridine. [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.14 )] .
After stopping a CYP3A4 inducer, as the effects of the inducer decline, the oliceridine plasma concentration may increase [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which could increase or prolong both the therapeutic effects and adverse reactions, and may cause serious respiratory depression. Intervention: If concomitant use with CYP3A4 inducer is necessary, increase of the OLINVYK dosage may be considered until stable drug effects are achieved. Monitor for signs of opioid withdrawal. If a CYP3A4 inducer is discontinued, consider OLINVYK dosage reduction and monitor for signs of respiratory depression.
Examples: Rifampin, carbamazepine, phenytoin Benzodiazepines and Other Central Nervous System (CNS) Depressants Clinical Impact: Due to additive pharmacologic effect, the concomitant use of benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants, including alcohol, increases the risk of hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, and death [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )]. Intervention: Reserve concomitant prescribing of these drugs for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options are inadequate. Limit dosages and durations to the minimum required. Monitor closely for signs of respiratory depression and sedation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )].
Examples: Benzodiazepines and other sedatives/hypnotics, anxiolytics, tranquilizers, muscle relaxants, general anesthetics, antipsychotics, gabapentinoids (gabapentin or pregabalin), other opioids, alcohol Serotonergic Drugs Clinical Impact: The concomitant use of opioids with other drugs that affect the serotonergic neurotransmitter system has resulted in serotonin syndrome. Intervention: If concomitant use is warranted, carefully observe the patient, particularly during treatment initiation and dose adjustment. Discontinue OLINVYK if serotonin syndrome is suspected.
Examples: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs,) serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), triptans, 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, drugs that effect the serotonin neurotransmitter system (e.g., mirtazapine, trazodone, tramadol), certain muscle relaxants (i.e., cyclobenzaprine, metaxalone), monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors (those intended to treat psychiatric disorders and also others, such as linezolid and intravenous methylene blue). Mixed Agonist/Antagonist and Partial Agonist Opioid Analgesics Clinical Impact: May reduce the analgesic effect of OLINVYK and/or precipitate withdrawal symptoms. Intervention: Avoid concomitant use.
Examples: butorphanol, nalbuphine, pentazocine, buprenorphine Muscle Relaxants Clinical Impact: OLINVYK may enhance the neuromuscular blocking action of skeletal muscle relaxants and produce an increased degree of respiratory depression. Intervention: Monitor patients for signs of respiratory depression that may be greater than otherwise expected and decrease the dosage of OLINVYK and/or the muscle relaxant as necessary. Examples: cyclobenzaprine, metaxalone Diuretics Clinical Impact: Opioids can reduce the efficacy of diuretics by inducing the release of antidiuretic hormone.
Intervention: Monitor patients for signs of diminished diuresis and/or effects on blood pressure and increase the dosage of the diuretic as needed. Anticholinergic Drugs Clinical Impact: The concomitant use of anticholinergic drugs may increase risk of urinary retention and/or severe constipation, which may lead to paralytic ileus. Intervention: Monitor patients for signs of urinary retention or reduced gastric motility when OLINVYK is used concomitantly with anticholinergic drugs. Moderate and Strong CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 Inhibitors : Patients may require less frequent dosing. Monitor closely and administer subsequent doses based on severity of pain and patient response.
( 5.6 , 7 ) Serotonergic Drugs : Concomitant use may result in serotonin syndrome. Discontinue OLINVYK if serotonin syndrome is suspected. ( 7 ) Mixed Agonist/Antagonist and Partial Agonist Opioid Analgesics : Avoid use with OLINVYK because they may reduce analgesic effect of OLINVYK or precipitate withdrawal symptoms. ( 7 )

Pregnancy and lactation
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Use of opioid analgesics for an extended period of time during pregnancy may result in neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] . There are no available data on OLINVYK use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects and miscarriage or adverse maternal outcomes. There are adverse outcomes reported within detal exposure to opioid analgesics (see Clinical Considerations) .
In animal reproductive studies, oliceridine reduced live litter size at birth and increased postnatal pup mortality between birth and Postnatal Day 4 when administered intravenously to rats from organogenesis through weaning at doses producing clinically relevant plasma exposure. Oliceridine had no effect on embryo-fetal development in rats and rabbits when administered intravenously during organogenesis at doses producing plasma exposures 7 and 8 times the estimated plasma exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) on an AUC basis, respectively (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 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. Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Use of opioid analgesics for an extended period of time during pregnancy for medical or nonmedical purposes can result in physical dependence in the neonate and neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome shortly after birth.
Neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome presents as irritability, hyperactivity and abnormal sleep pattern, high-pitched cry, tremor, vomiting, diarrhea, and failure to gain weight. The onset, duration, and severity of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome vary based on the specific opioid used, duration of use, timing and amount of last maternal use, and rate of elimination of the drug by the newborn. Observe newborns for symptoms of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and manage accordingly [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] . Labor or Delivery Opioids cross the placenta and may produce respiratory depression and psycho-physiologic effects in neonates.
An opioid overdose reversal agent, such as naloxone or nalmefene, should be available for reversal of opioid induced respiratory depression in the neonate. OLINVYK is not recommended for use in pregnant women during and immediately prior to labor,…
