Patient Counseling Information

Hypertension

  • Advise patients that treatment with recommended doses of XADAGO may be associated with elevations of blood pressure or onset of hypertension. Tell patients who experience elevation of blood pressure while taking XADAGO to contact their healthcare provider.
  • Explain the risk of using higher than recommended daily doses of XADAGO, and provide a brief description of the tyramine associated hypertensive reaction.
  • Advise patients to avoid certain foods (e.g., aged cheese) containing a very large amount of tyramine while taking recommended doses of XADAGO because of the potential for large increases in blood pressure. If patients eat foods very rich in tyramine and do not feel well soon after eating, they should contact their healthcare provider.

Serotonin Syndrome

  • Tell patients to inform their physician if they are taking, or planning to take, any prescription or over-thecounter drugs, especially antidepressants and over-the-counter cold medications, because there is a potential for interaction with XADAGO. Because patients should not use meperidine or certain other analgesics with XADAGO, they should contact their healthcare provider before taking new medications including antidepressants, analgesics, and prescription or nonprescription decongestants.

Falling Asleep During Activities of Daily Living and Somnolence

  • Inform patients about the potential for sedating effects associated with XADAGO and other dopaminergic medications, including somnolence and particularly to the possibility of falling asleep while engaged in activities of daily living. Because somnolence can be a frequent adverse reaction with potentially serious consequences, patients should not operate a motor vehicle or engage in other potentially dangerous activities until they have gained sufficient experience with XADAGO.
  • Advise patients that if increased somnolence or new episodes of falling asleep during activities of daily living (e.g., watching television, passenger in a car, etc.) are experienced at any time during treatment, they should not drive or participate in potentially dangerous activities until they have contacted their physician. Patients should not drive, operate machinery, or work at heights during treatment if they have previously experienced somnolence and/or have fallen asleep without warning prior to use of XADAGO.
  • Because of possible additive effects, advise patients about the potential for increased somnolence when patients are taking other sedating medications, alcohol, or other central nervous system depressants (e.g., benzodiazepines, antipsychotics, antidepressants) in combination with XADAGO.

Dyskinesia

  • Advise patients taking XADAGO as adjunct to levodopa that there is a possibility of dyskinesia or increased dyskinesia.

Hallucinations / Psychotic Behavior

Inform patients that hallucinations or other manifestations of psychotic behavior can occur when taking XADAGO. Advise patients that, if they have a major psychotic disorder, that XADAGO should not ordinarily be used because of the risk of exacerbating the psychosis. Patients with a major psychotic disorder should also be aware that many treatments for psychosis may decrease the effectiveness of XADAGO.

Impulse Control/Compulsive Behaviors

  • Advise patients that they may experience intense urges to gamble, increased sexual urges, other intense urges, and the inability to control these urges while taking XADAGO. Although it is not proven that the medications caused these events, these urges were reported to have stopped in some cases when the dose was reduced or the medication was stopped. Prescribers should ask patients about the development of new or increased gambling urges, sexual urges, or other urges while being treated with XADAGO. Patients should inform their physician if they experience these urges while taking XADAGO.

Withdrawal-Emergent Hyperpyrexia and Confusion

  • Tell patients to contact their healthcare provider if they wish to discontinue XADAGO and seek guidance for tapering XADAGO instead of abruptly discontinuing XADAGO.

Missing Dose

  • Instruct patients to take XADAGO as prescribed. If a dose is missed, instruct patients to take the next dose at the usual time on the following day.

Concomitant Medications

  • Advise patients to inform their physicians if they are taking, or plan to take, any prescription or over-the-counter medications because of a potential for interactions.
