Pregnancy and lactation
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data with RYZUMVI administration in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. In animal toxicology studies, when phentolamine was administered orally to pregnant mice and rats during the period of organogenesis, skeletal immaturity and decreased growth was observed in the offspring at doses at least 24-times the recommended clinical dose. Additionally, a lower rate of implantation was seen in pregnant rats treated with phentolamine administered at least 60-times the recommended clinical dose.
No malformations or embryofetal deaths were observed in the offspring of pregnant mice, rats, and rabbits administered phentolamine during the period of organogenesis at doses of at least 24-, 60-, and 20-times, respectively, the recommended clinical dose (see Data ) . RYZUMVI should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Data Animal Data Oral administration of phentolamine to pregnant rats and mice at doses at least 24-times the recommended clinical dose (based on a body weight per surface area (mg/m 2 ) comparison with a 60-kg human) resulted in slightly decreased growth and slight skeletal immaturity of the fetuses.
Immaturity was manifested by increased incidence of incomplete or unossified calcanei and phalangeal nuclei of the hind limb and of incompletely ossified sternebrae. At oral phentolamine doses at least 60-times the recommended clinical dose (based on a mg/m 2 comparison with a 60-kg human), a slightly lower rate of implantation was found in rats. Phentolamine did not affect embryonic or fetal development in rabbits at oral doses at least 20-times the recommended dose (based on a mg/m 2 comparison with a 60-kg human). No malformations or embryofetal deaths were observed in the rat, mouse or rabbit studies.

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.
