For variation:

 

This VAN relates to the approval of CCDS 5 & 6 and SmPC alignment DDI Morphine- PRAC recommendation, details for which are outlined below:  

 

TII C.1.4. variation - CCDS V5 -impacts section 4.3 & 4.5  

 

The nature of the update concerns the revision of the following sections of the SPCs:

 

  • Section 4.3 Contra-indications & 4.5 Interactions with other Medicaments and other forms of Interaction -updated with the information on rifampicin interactions with hepatitis C therapy

 

  • Section 4.5 Interactions with other Medicaments and other forms of Interaction - is reorganized and updated to reflect a review which assessed rifampicin regarding its potential as a perpetrator of drug interactions, primarily via induction of drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters  

 

 

TII C.1.4. variation - CCDS V6 - section 4.4,4.5 & 4.8.

 

The nature of the update concerns the revision of the SPCs to include reference to the adverse biological effect of rifampicin and cefazolin when administered concurrently, which may lead to severe coagulation disorders including those with fatal outcome.

 

As a direct result the following sections of the SPCs have been updated as outlined below:

 

  • Section 4.4 Special Warnings and Special Precautions for Use

Updated to include reference to vitamin K dependent coagulopathy and severe bleeding.

  • Section 4.5 Interactions with other Medicaments and other forms of Interaction Updated to include reference to concomitant use of rifampicin and other antibiotics causing vitamin K dependent coagulopathy such as cefazolin should be avoided as it may lead to severe coagulation disorders, which may result in fatal outcome.
  • Section 4.8 Undesirable effects

Updated to include references to AEs Vitamin K dependent coagulation disorders, bleeding.  

 

DDI Morphine- alignment with PRAC recommendation: (submitted as part of CCDS 5)

 

Update to section 4.5 of the SmPCs to reference the analgesic effect of morphine.  The proposed update is aligned with CMD guidance for Rifampicin containing products which states the following:

 

For medicinal products containing rifampicin, whose product information does not already have information on the topic, the following text should be included in section 4.5 of the SPC:

 

“Plasma concentrations of morphine may be reduced by rifampicin. The analgesic effect of morphine should be monitored and doses of morphine adjusted during and after treatment with rifampicin.”
