Where does this data come from?

Data sourced from official FDA Structured Product Labeling (SPL) via DailyMed — ingredient classCode="IACT" elements from the exact product block matched by this NDC. Label-section narrative from DailyMed / the openFDA label index is shown separately when available.

Inactive ingredient FAQ

Are inactive ingredients the same for every manufacturer?

No. Inactive ingredients can differ by manufacturer, dosage form, strength, and package / product version.

Why might an inactive ingredient be missing?

Some SPLs do not provide a complete structured inactive-ingredient list, and older or unusual labels may only include the information in narrative text.

Can inactive ingredients matter?

Yes. They can matter for allergies, intolerances, dyes, gluten / lactose concerns, preservatives, and formulation differences — but confirm with a pharmacist or the manufacturer when it’s clinically important.

💲 Pricing

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

Price system	Per mL	Per package
Retail pharmacies payNADAC · weekly	Not in the retail survey — common for institutional, discontinued, or low-volume packs.
Medicaid paysCMS SDUD · 12 mo	No recent Medicaid claims on file for this NDC — rare and low-volume NDCs are suppressed in the public data.
Medicare drug plans payPart D · quarterly	No Part D plan price is available for this NDC in our data.
Medicare Part B allowsASP · J0458	$1.773 / J0458 unit	—

Where does this data come from?

NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.

🏛️FDA exclusivity

FDA-granted marketing protection. It’s separate from patents and may be shorter than patent protection.

🧪Product / substance patents

Patents covering the active ingredient, product, formulation, or related drug features.

🎯Method-of-use patents

Patents covering specific approved uses. These can sometimes be carved out with a “skinny label,” but not always.

🛈 What do these terms mean?

Patent: Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
Substance patent: Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
Formulation (product) patent: Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
Method-of-use patent: A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
Skinny label: A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
Exclusivity: FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
Paragraph IV: A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
RLD / RS: Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
TE / AB rating: FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
LOE (loss of exclusivity): The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.

Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

Common questions

Is there a generic version of EMBLAVEO 2 GM VIAL?

No FDA-approved generic equivalent is currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for EMBLAVEO 2 GM VIAL. Based on the patents and exclusivity currently listed, the Orange Book estimate is that full-label generic entry may be delayed until Feb 2033 — an estimate, not a guaranteed launch date.

The FDA approved a generic — why can’t I get it at my pharmacy yet?

FDA approval and pharmacy availability are two different things. The FDA can approve a generic years before it actually reaches pharmacies, because the brand company may still hold patents or have a settlement that delays the launch. A manufacturer also has to choose to make and sell it, and have supply ready. So a drug can be “FDA-approved generic exists” and still be brand-only at the counter today.

Why do different websites show different generic release dates?

Generic availability is not based on one single date. Some sources use the first exclusivity expiration, some use the last product patent, and others use the latest method-of-use patent. Patent challenges, settlements, licenses, and label carve-outs can also change the real-world launch date. This page shows the underlying Orange Book dates so you can see why estimates may differ.

What does “FDA listed” mean?

It means the product appears in the FDA’s official NDC directory. That’s a good sign a product exists and is intended for the U.S. market, but on its own it does not confirm a pharmacy can fill it today. Where we have recent retail pricing data (NADAC) for a product, we label it “Availability likely” instead.

What does a patent or protection date mean here?

It’s the latest date currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for a patent or exclusivity on the brand product. It can affect when a full generic version becomes widely available — but it is not a guaranteed generic launch date. Generics sometimes arrive earlier (through a settlement or patent challenge) or later (a manufacturer still has to make and sell one).

What does “current Orange Book estimate” mean?

It means we are using the latest patent and exclusivity dates currently listed in the FDA Orange Book. It is not a guaranteed launch date.

Can a generic come out before the last patent expires?

Sometimes. A generic company may challenge a patent, settle with the brand manufacturer, receive a license, or obtain approval with a narrower label that avoids a patented use. In other cases, the last listed protection may delay full-label generic competition.

Can a generic come out after the listed dates?

Yes. Even after patents or exclusivity expire, a generic still needs FDA approval and a manufacturer must choose to market it. Supply, litigation, business decisions, or regulatory issues can delay actual availability.

What is the difference between patents and exclusivity?

Patents are legal protections usually issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. FDA exclusivity is marketing protection granted by the FDA. They are separate, and either one can affect generic timing.

Why are there multiple patent dates?

One drug can have several patents covering different things: the active ingredient, a formulation, a manufacturing process, or a specific approved use. That is why a page may show several expiration dates instead of one simple generic date.

Built from FDA Orange Book patent and exclusivity data. Dates are refreshed from public FDA data when available; the marker is max(latest patent expiry, latest exclusivity expiry). Paragraph-IV settlements and first-filer 180-day exclusivity can shift the real date; a method-of-use patent may allow an earlier skinny-label generic for non-protected indications. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.

Where does this data come from?

Patents and exclusivity from the FDA Orange Book (small-molecule drugs), refreshed from public FDA data. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.

📊 Medicare Part D spend CMS · PART D · 2025 (Q1-Q4)

Medicare Part D (outpatient prescription) spending for Emblaveo — the program that covers self-administered drugs. 1 manufacturer.

⚠️ Drug-level data: CMS publishes Part D spending by drug, not by NDC — these figures combine every manufacturer, strength and package size sold under the name Emblaveo. That’s a different level of aggregation than the Medicaid card above, which is specific to this exact 11-digit NDC (pack size included), so the two aren’t directly comparable.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?

The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.

Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?

Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The FDA registers it as 0074-3878-10, which is what is printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero: 00074-3878-10, written without dashes as 00074387810. The Identity section at the top of this page lists every form of this code.

What do the three segments of this NDC mean?

In 00074-3878-10, the first segment (00074) is the labeler code FDA assigned to AbbVie Inc.; the middle segment (3878) identifies this specific product — its ingredient, strength, and dosage form; and the last segment (10) identifies this exact package size and type. Together they name one specific package of one specific product.

Is this package still being marketed?

Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by AbbVie Inc.. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.

Who lists this product with the FDA?

AbbVie Inc. is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.

Do I need a prescription for this product?

This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.

Does this product have a billing J-code?

Yes — this NDC cross-references HCPCS code J0458 for medical-claim billing (typically used when a product is administered in a clinical setting rather than dispensed at a retail pharmacy). See the Billing section on this page.

This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.

🎯 Indications and Usage ~1 min read ▾

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE EMBLAVEO is a combination of aztreonam, a monobactam antibacterial, and avibactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, that when used in combination with metronidazole, is indicated in patients 18 years and older who have limited or no alternative options for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) including those caused by the following susceptible gram-negative microorganisms: Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Enterobacter cloacae complex, Citrobacter freundii complex, and Serratia marcescens .

Approval of this indication is based on limited clinical safety and efficacy data for EMBLAVEO. ( 1.1 ) Usage to Reduce Development of Drug-Resistant Bacteria To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of EMBLAVEO and other antibacterial drugs, EMBLAVEO should be used only to treat infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria. ( 1.2 )

1.1Complicated Intra-abdominal Infections EMBLAVEO, in combination with metronidazole, is indicated in patients 18 years and older who have limited or no alternative options for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) including those caused by the following susceptible gram-negative microorganisms: Escherichia coli , Klebsiella pneumoniae , Klebsiella oxytoca , Enterobacter cloacae complex , Citrobacter freundii complex , and Serratia marcescens. Approval of this indication is based on limited clinical safety and efficacy data for EMBLAVEO [ see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] .

1.2Usage to Reduce Development of Drug-Resistant Bacteria To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of EMBLAVEO and other antibacterial drugs, EMBLAVEO should be used only to treat infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Reactions : Hypersensitivity reactions were noted in patients treated with EMBLAVEO including rash, flushing, and bronchospasm. In case of hypersensitivity reactions, immediately discontinue EMBLAVEO and initiate appropriate medications and/or supportive care. ( 5.1 ) Serious Skin Disorders: Cases of toxic epidermal necrolysis have been reported in association with aztreonam (a component of EMBLAVEO) in patients undergoing bone marrow transplant with multiple risk factors.

Discontinue EMBLAVEO if serious skin reaction occurs. ( 5.2 ) Hepatic Adverse Reactions: Elevations in hepatic transaminases have been observed during treatment with EMBLAVEO. If transaminase elevations are noted, consider discontinuation of EMBLAVEO, if clinically indicated, and monitor the patient for resolution of any pertinent clinical and laboratory findings.

( 5.3 ) Clostridioides Difficile -Associated Diarrhea (CDAD): CDAD has been reported with nearly all systemic antibacterial agents, including EMBLAVEO. Evaluate if diarrhea occurs. ( 5.4 ) 5.

1 Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions were noted in patients treated with EMBLAVEO, including rash, flushing, and bronchospasm [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )]. Prior to treatment, it should be established if the patient has a history of hypersensitivity reactions to components of EMBLAVEO (aztreonam and avibactam). In case of hypersensitivity reactions, immediately discontinue EMBLAVEO and initiate appropriate medications and/or supportive care.

5. 2 Serious Skin Disorders Cases of toxic epidermal necrolysis have been reported in association with aztreonam (a component of EMBLAVEO) in patients undergoing bone marrow transplant with multiple risk factors including sepsis, radiation therapy, and other concomitantly administered drugs associated with toxic epidermal necrolysis. Discontinue EMBLAVEO if a serious skin reaction occurs.

5. 3 Hepatic Adverse Reactions Elevations in hepatic transaminases have been observed during treatment with EMBLAVEO [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )]. Monitoring of liver-related laboratory tests is recommended while on treatment, particularly in patients with baseline liver comorbidities or on concomitant hepatotoxic medications.

If transaminase elevations are noted, consider discontinuing EMBLAVEO, if clinically indicated, and monitor the patient for resolution of any pertinent clinical and laboratory findings. 5. 4 Clostridioides Difficile -Associated Diarrhea Clostridioides difficile - associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported for nearly all systemic antibacterial drugs, including EMBLAVEO, and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis.

Treatment with antibacterial drugs alters the normal flora of the colon and may permit overgrowth of C. difficile . C. difficile produces toxins A and B which contribute to the development of CDAD. Hypertoxin producing strains of C. difficile cause increased morbidity and mortality, as these infections can be refractory to antimicrobial therapy and may require colectomy.

CDAD must be considered in all patients who present with diarrhea following antibacterial use. Careful medical history is necessary because CDAD has been reported to occur more than 2 months after the administration of antibacterial drugs. If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, antibacterial drugs not directed against C. difficile may need to be discontinued.

Manage fluid and electrolyte levels as appropriate, supplement protein intake, monitor antibacterial treatment of C. difficile , and institute surgical evaluation as clinically indicated.

5.5Development of Drug-Resistant Bacteria Prescribing EMBLAVEO in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increases the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria [see Indications and Usage ( 1.2 )].

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Clinical Trials Experience in Adult Patients Three clinical trials, Trial 1, Trial 2, and Trial 3, underly the EMBLAVEO clinical development program. Trial 1 was a randomized, comparative trial conducted in patients with cIAI and hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia/ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HABP/VABP) (not an approved indication for EMBLAVEO), while Trials 2 and 3 were smaller, noncomparative trials conducted in patients with cIAI as well as other serious infections caused by gram negative pathogens expressing metallo-beta-lactamases.

The safety data from Trial 1 are summarized below. In Trial 1, EMBLAVEO was evaluated in a comparative clinical trial in patients with cIAI or HABP/VABP; note that EMBLAVEO is not approved for the treatment of HABP/VABP. Trial 1 evaluated 275 patients treated with EMBLAVEO and 137 patients treated with comparator (meropenem +/- colistin); 203 EMBLAVEO-treated patients had a diagnosis of cIAI while 72 EMBLAVEO-treated patients had a diagnosis of HABP/VABP (not an approved indication for EMBLAVEO).

Patients received treatment with EMBLAVEO 2 grams (aztreonam 1.5 grams and avibactam 0.5 grams) or comparator for 5 to 14 days. Patients randomized to EMBLAVEO received a loading dose of aztreonam and avibactam administered by intravenous infusion over 30 minutes immediately followed by an extended loading dose infused over 3 hours, followed by maintenance doses infused over 3 hours every 6 hours based on the participant’s creatinine clearance. Patients with cIAI randomized to EMBLAVEO also received metronidazole 500 mg administered by intravenous infusion over 60 minutes every 8 hours.

The median age of patients in Trial 1 treated with EMBLAVEO was 58 years, ranging between 18 and 87 years old. Patients treated with EMBLAVEO were predominantly male (66%) and White (59%). Approximately 40% (22% of cIAI and 89% of HABP/VABP; not an approved indication) of patients treated with EMBLAVEO had an APACHE II score greater than 10 at baseline.

Death occurred in 6.9% (19/275) of patients who received EMBLAVEO and in 8% (11/137) of patients who received comparator. In patients with cIAI, death occurred in 3.0% (6/203) of patients treated with EMBLAVEO and 2.9% (3/103) in patients treated with comparator. Overall, 3.6% (10/275) of the patients who received EMBLAVEO discontinued treatment due to an adverse reaction, compared with 3.6% (5/137) of patients treated with comparator.

Common adverse reactions occurring in greater than 5% of patients are noted in the table below.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no data on the effects of EMBLAVEO use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Available data from case reports over several decades with aztreonam and over approximately a decade with avibactam have not identified a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other maternal or fetal outcomes. Aztreonam Developmental toxicity studies in pregnant rats and rabbits with daily doses of aztreonam revealed no evidence of embryotoxicity, fetotoxicity, or fetal malformations at doses 2.7- and 3.6-fold greater, respectively, than the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) for adults of 6.5 g per day.

In a peri/postnatal development (PPND) study in rats, no aztreonam-induced changes in any maternal, fetal, or neonatal parameters were observed at a dose 2.7-fold greater than the MRHD. Avibactam Avibactam administered to pregnant rats was not associated with fetal malformations at doses 6 times the MRHD of 2.17 g per day. In pregnant rabbits, avibactam administered in doses greater than or equal to 5 times the MRHD was associated with increased post-implantation loss, lower mean fetal weights, delayed ossification of several bones and other anomalies.

In a rat PPND study, there were no effects on pup growth and viability at doses up to 8 times the avibactam MRHD. A dose-related increase in the incidence of renal pelvic and ureter dilatation was observed in female weaning pups with renal pelvic dilatation persisting into adulthood (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 US 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 Aztreonam Developmental toxicity studies in pregnant rats and rabbits with daily doses of aztreonam up to 1800 and 1200 mg/kg, respectively, revealed no evidence of embryotoxicity or fetotoxicity or fetal malformations.

These doses, based on body surface area, are 2.7- and 3.6-fold greater than the MRHD for adults of 6.5 g per day. A peri/postnatal study in rats revealed no drug-induced changes in any maternal, fetal, or neonatal parameters. The highest dose used in this study, 1800 mg/kg/day, is 2.7 times the MRHD based on body surface area comparison.

Avibactam Avibactam did not produce fetal malformations in pregnant rats or rabbits. In the rat, intravenous studies with 0, 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg/day of avibactam during gestation days 6-17 showed no embryo-fetal toxicity at doses up to 1000 mg/kg/day, approximately 6 times the MRHD (2.17 g/day) based on exposure (AUC). Pregnant rabbits administered intravenous avibactam on gestation days 6-19 at 0, 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day showed no effects on embryo-fetal development at a dose of 100 mg/kg, twice the MRHD based on AUC comparison.

At doses greater than or equal to 300 mg/kg/day (5 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison), increased post-implantation loss, lower mean fetal weights, delayed ossification of several bones and other anomalies were observed. In a rat pre-and post-natal study at up to 825 mg/kg/day intravenously (8 times the MRHD based on AUC), there were no effects on pup growth and viability. A dose-related increase in the incidence of renal pelvic and ureter dilatation was observed in female weaning pups that was not associated with pathological changes to renal parenchyma or renal function, with renal pelvic dilatation persisting after female weaning pups became adults.

🧒 Pediatric Use 22 words ▾

8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of EMBLAVEO in pediatric patients less than 18 years of age have not been established.

🧓 Geriatric Use 201 words ▾

8.5Geriatric Use In Trials 1, 2, and 3, there were 103 patients in the EMBLAVEO treatment arm 65 years of age and older. Of these patients, 60 (58%) were between 65-74 years of age and 43 (42%) patients were 75 years of age and older. In comparison, there were 202 patients in the EMBLAVEO treatment arm less than 65 years of age.

Clinical studies of EMBLAVEO did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 years and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. Aztreonam and avibactam (components of EMBLAVEO) are known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of adverse reactions to aztreonam and avibactam (components of EMBLAVEO) may be greater in patients with impaired renal function.

Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function. No dosage adjustment is required in elderly patients based on age; the dose should be selected based on renal function [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )].

🆘 Overdosage 48 words ▾

10 OVERDOSAGE There is no information on the clinical signs and symptoms associated with an overdose of EMBLAVEO.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action EMBLAVEO is an antibacterial drug [see Microbiology ( 12.4 )] .

12.2Pharmacodynamics As with other beta-lactam antimicrobial drugs, the time that unbound plasma concentrations of aztreonam exceed the EMBLAVEO minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against the infecting organism has been shown to best correlate with efficacy in a neutropenic murine thigh infection model with Enterobacterales. The time above a threshold concentration has been determined to be the parameter that best predicts the efficacy of avibactam in combination with aztreonam in in vitro and in vivo nonclinical models.

Cardiac Electrophysiology Avibactam does not prolong the QTc interval to any clinically significant extent at a dose 3 times the maximum approved EMBLAVEO recommended avibactam loading dose. Aztreonam QT prolongation evaluations have not been conducted or reported in literature.

12.3Pharmacokinetics Following single or multiple dosing, the C max and AUC of both aztreonam and avibactam (components of EMBLAVEO) increase in an approximate dose-proportional manner over a dose range of 500 mg to 2000 mg aztreonam (0.25 to 1 times the approved maximum recommended loading dose) and of 50 mg to 2000 mg avibactam (0.07 to 3 times the approved maximum recommended loading dose). Aztreonam and avibactam (components of EMBLAVEO) pharmacokinetic properties are summarized in Table 6. There is minimal accumulation of aztreonam and avibactam following multiple intravenous 3-hour infusions of EMBLAVEO every 6 hours in patients with normal renal function.

💬 Information for Patients ~1 min read ▾

17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Serious Allergic Reactions Advise patients, their families, or caregivers that allergic reactions, including serious allergic reactions, could occur that require immediate treatment. Ask them about any previous hypersensitivity reactions to EMBLAVEO, other beta-lactams, or other allergens [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Serious Skin Reactions Advise patients about the signs and symptoms of serious skin manifestations such as sudden onset of a severe rash or blistering or peeling skin, possibly accompanied by a high fever or joint pain (these may be signs of more serious medical conditions such as toxic epidermal necrolysis) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] .

Potentially Serious Diarrhea Advise patients, their families, or caregivers that diarrhea is a common problem caused by antibacterial drugs. Sometimes, frequent watery or bloody diarrhea may occur and may be a sign of a more serious intestinal infection. If severe watery or bloody diarrhea develops, tell them to contact his or her healthcare provider [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] .

Antibacterial Resistance Patients should be counseled that antibacterial drugs including EMBLAVEO should only be used to treat bacterial infections. They do not treat viral infections (e.g., the common cold). When EMBLAVEO is prescribed to treat a bacterial infection, patients should be told that although it is common to feel better early in the course of therapy, the medication should be taken exactly as directed.

Skipping doses or not completing the full course of therapy may (1) decrease the effectiveness of the immediate treatment and (2) increase the likelihood that bacteria will develop resistance and will not be treatable by EMBLAVEO or other antibacterial drugs in the future [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 ) ] .

QT prolongation: A longer-than-normal electrical recovery time between heartbeats, seen on a heart tracing (ECG), which can raise the chance of a dangerous heart rhythm.

QTc: A number from a heart tracing (ECG) that measures the heart's electrical recovery time, adjusted for the heart rate.
