Label name SEYSARA 150 MG TABLET Ingredient Sarecycline Hcl
📖 What it is MedlinePlus · NLM

Sarecycline is used to treat certain types of acne. Sarecycline is in a class of medications called tetracycline antibiotics. It works to treat acne by killing the bacteria that infects pores and by lowering the amount of oil on your skin that causes acne. Antibiotics such as sarecycline will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections. Using antibiotics when they are not needed increases your risk of getting an infection later that resists antibiotic treatment.

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.

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ~3 min read ▾

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS The use of SEYSARA during tooth development (second and third trimesters of pregnancy, infancy, and childhood up to the age of 8 years) may cause permanent discoloration of the teeth (yellow-gray-brown). ( 5.1 ) If Clostridium difficile Associated Diarrhea (antibiotic associated colitis) occurs, discontinue SEYSARA. ( 5.2 ) Central nervous system side effects, including light-headedness, dizziness or vertigo, have been reported with tetracycline use.

Patients who experience these symptoms should be cautioned about driving vehicles or using hazardous machinery. These symptoms may disappear during therapy and may disappear when the drug is discontinued. ( 5.3 ) SEYSARA may cause intracranial hypertension.

Discontinue SEYSARA if symptoms occur. ( 5.4 ) Photosensitivity can occur with SEYSARA. Patients should minimize or avoid exposure to natural or artificial sunlight.

( 5.5 )

5.1Teratogenic Effects SEYSARA, like other tetracyclines, can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. If SEYSARA is used during pregnancy or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking SEYSARA, the patient should be informed of the potential hazard to the fetus and treatment should be stopped immediately. The use of drugs of the tetracycline-class during tooth development (second and third trimesters of pregnancy, infancy, and childhood up to the age of 8 years) may cause permanent discoloration of the teeth (yellow-gray-brown).

This adverse reaction is more common during long-term use of these drugs, but has been observed following repeated short-term courses. Enamel hypoplasia has also been reported. All tetracyclines form a stable calcium complex in any bone-forming tissue.

A decrease in fibula growth rate has been observed in premature human infants given oral tetracycline in doses of 25 mg/kg every 6 hours. This reaction was shown to be reversible when the drug was discontinued. Results of animal studies indicate that tetracyclines cross the placenta, are found in fetal tissues, and can cause retardation of skeletal development on the developing fetus.

Evidence of embryotoxicity has been noted in animals treated with SEYSARA during pregnancy in association with maternal toxicity [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] .

5.2Clostridium difficile Associated Diarrhea (Antibiotic Associated Colitis) Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with nearly all antibacterial agents, and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon leading to potential 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 antibiotic use. Careful medical history is necessary since CDAD has been reported to occur over two months after the administration of antibacterial agents.

If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, ongoing antibiotic use not directed against C. difficile should be discontinued. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibiotic treatment of C. difficile , and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated.

5.3Central Nervous System Effects Central nervous system side effects including light-headedness, dizziness or vertigo have been reported with tetracycline use. Patients who experience these symptoms should be cautioned about driving vehicles or using hazardous machinery. These symptoms may disappear during therapy and may disappear when the drug is discontinued.

5.4Intracranial Hypertension Intracranial hypertension in adults and adolescents has been associated with the use of tetracyclines. Clinical manifestations include headache, blurred vision and pap… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

🤒 Adverse Reactions 150 words ▾

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Most common adverse reaction (incidence ≥ 1%) is nausea. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Almirall at 1-866-665-2782 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch .

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. A total of 1064 subjects and 1069 subjects with moderate to severe acne vulgaris were treated with SEYSARA and placebo, respectively, for 12 weeks in 3 controlled clinical trials. The only adverse drug reaction that was reported in at least 1% of subjects was nausea, SEYSARA (3.1%) versus placebo (2.0%).

The following additional adverse drug reactions occurred in less than 1% of female SEYSARA subjects: vulvovaginal mycotic infection (0.8%) and vulvovaginal candidiasis (0.6%).

🔄 Drug Interactions ~1 min read ▾

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Oral retinoids: avoid coadministration. ( 5.4 , 7.1 ) Antacids and iron preparations: separate dosing of SEYSARA. ( 7.1 ) Penicillin: avoid coadministration. ( 7.2 ) Anticoagulants: decrease anticoagulant dosage as appropriate. ( 7.2 ) P-glycoprotein substrates: monitor for toxicities of drugs that may require dosage reduction. ( 7.2 )

7.1Effect of Other Drugs on SEYSARA Oral Retinoids Tetracyclines may cause increased intracranial pressure as do oral retinoids, including isotretinoin and acitretin [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] . Avoid coadministration of SEYSARA with oral retinoids. Antacids and Iron Preparations Coadministration with antacids containing aluminum, calcium or magnesium, bismuth subsalicylate, and iron-containing preparations may impair absorption of SEYSARA, similar to other tetracyclines, which may decrease its efficacy.

Separate dosing of SEYSARA from antacids containing aluminum, calcium or magnesium, bismuth subsalicylate, and iron-containing preparations.

7.2Effect of SEYSARA on Other Drugs Penicillin Similar to other tetracyclines, SEYSARA may interfere with the bactericidal action of penicillin. Avoid coadministration of SEYSARA with penicillin. Anticoagulants Similar to other tetracyclines, SEYSARA may depress plasma prothrombin activity, which may increase the risk of bleeding in patients who are on anticoagulant therapy.

Decrease anticoagulant dosage when coadministered with SEYSARA as appropriate. P-Glycoprotein (P-gp) Substrates Concomitant use of SEYSARA may increase concentrations of concomitantly administered P-gp substrates (e.g. digoxin). Monitor for toxicities of drugs that are P-gp substrates and may require dosage reduction when given concurrently with SEYSARA [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

Oral Hormonal Contraceptives There is no clinically significant effect of SEYSARA on the efficacy of oral contraceptives containing ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone acetate [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

👥 Use in Specific Populations ~3 min read ▾

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Sarecycline, like other tetracycline-class drugs, can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. ( 5.1 , 8.1 ) The use of drugs of the tetracycline class during tooth development may cause permanent discoloration of teeth. ( 5.1 , 8.4 ) Lactation: Breastfeeding is not recommended. ( 8.2 )

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary SEYSARA, like tetracycline class drugs, may cause fetal harm, permanent discoloration of teeth, and reversible inhibition of bone growth when administered during pregnancy [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) and Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )] . The limited available human data are not sufficient to inform a drug-associated risk for birth defects or miscarriage. Tetracyclines are known to cross the placental barrier; therefore, SEYSARA may be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus.

In animal reproduction studies, sarecycline induced skeletal malformations in fetuses when orally administered to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis at a dose 1.4 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 150 mg/day (based on AUC comparison). When dosing with sarecycline continued through the period of lactation, decreases in offspring survival, offspring body weight, and implantation sites and viable embryos in offspring females occurred at a dose 3 times the MRHD (based on AUC comparison) [see Data ] .

The potential risk to the fetus outweighs the potential benefit to the mother from SEYSARA use during pregnancy; therefore, pregnant patients should discontinue SEYSARA as soon as pregnancy is recognized. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown.

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. Data Animal Data In an embryofetal developmental study in rats, sarecycline was administered to pregnant rats at oral doses up to 500 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis. Decreases in maternal body weight, fetal body weight and litter size and increases in the number of resorption and postimplantation loss occurred at 500 mg/kg/day (7 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison).

Skeletal malformations (bent forelimb, hindlimb, and scapula) occurred at all dose levels (≥ 50 mg/kg/day, 1.4 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). In an embryofetal developmental study in rabbits, sarecycline was administered to pregnant rabbits at oral doses up to 150 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis. Excessive maternal toxicity (mortality/moribundity/abortion) occurred at 150 mg/kg/day (5 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison) and this dose group was terminated early.

Maternal moribundity also occurred at 100 mg/kg/day (0.6 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). No significant embryofetal toxicity or malformations were observed at doses up to 100 mg/kg/day (0.6 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). In a pre- and post-natal developmental study in rats, sarecycline was administered to maternal rats at oral doses up to 400 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis through lactation.

Excessive litter toxicity (litter loss and stillbirth) occurred at 400 mg/kg/day (8 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison), which led to early termination of dams at parturition. Decreases in body weight and food consumption of dams during the lactation period occurred at 150 mg/kg/day (3 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). Decreases in offspring survival and offspring body weight during the preweaning and growth period, and decreases in implantation sites and viable embryos in female offspring occurred at 150 mg/kg/day (3 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison).

No significant maternal or developmental toxicity was observed at 50 mg/kg/day (1.4 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison).

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ~3 min read ▾

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action Sarecycline is an aminomethylcycline within the tetracycline class of drugs. [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY ( 12.4 )] . The mechanism of action of SEYSARA in treating the inflammatory lesions of non-nodular acne vulgaris is not known.

12.2Pharmacodynamics The pharmacodynamics of SEYSARA for the treatment of acne vulgaris are unknown. Cardiac Electrophysiology At approximately 3 times the maximum recommended dose, SEYSARA did not prolong the QT interval to a clinically relevant extent.

12.3Pharmacokinetics Increasing the SEYSARA dose from 60 to 150 mg once daily in healthy subjects resulted in a slightly less than proportional increase in sarcyeline steady-state C max and AUC tau . A mean accumulation ratio of sarecycline ranges from 1.5 to 1.6 fold with repeated dosing. Steady-state of sarecycline was reached by Day 7.

Absorption The median time to peak plasma concentration (T max ) of sarecycline is 1.5 to 2.0 hours. Effect of Food Coadministration with a high-fat (approximately 50% of total caloric content of the meal), high-calorie (800 to 1000 Kcal) meal that included milk delayed T max by approximately 0.53 hour and decreased sarecycline C max by 31% and AUC by 27%. Distribution Protein binding of sarecycline is 62.5% to 74.7% in vitro.

The mean apparent volume of distribution of sarecycline at steady-state ranges from

91.4 L to

97.0L. Elimination The mean apparent oral clearance (CL/F) of sarecycline at steady state is approximately 3 L/h. The mean elimination half-life of sarecycline is 21 to 22 hours.

Metabolism Metabolism of sarecycline by enzymes in human liver microsomes is minimal (< 15%) in vitro. Minor metabolites resulting from non-enzymic epimerization, O-/N-demethylation, hydroxylation, and desaturation have been found. Excretion After a single 100 mg oral dose of radiolabeled sarecycline, 42.6% of the dose was recovered in feces (14.9% as unchanged) and 44.1% in urine (24.7% as unchanged).

Specific Populations No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of sarecycline were observed based on age (11 to 73 years), weight (42 to 133 kg), sex, renal impairment, or mild to moderate hepatic impairment (Child Pugh A to B). The effect of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) on sarecycline pharmacokinetics has not been assessed. Drug Interaction Studies Clinical Studies Coadministration of SEYSARA with a combination oral contraceptive, ethinyl estradiol (EE) 20 mcg plus norethindrone (NE) acetate 1 mg, increased EE C max by 14% and AUC tau by 11%, and increased NE C max by 18% and AUC tau by 23%.

Coadministration of a single dose of SEYSARA 150 mg resulted in a 26% increase in C max of digoxin, a P-gp substrate. In Vitro Studies Sarecycline is not a substrate for P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1, or OATP1B3. Sarecycline is a P-gp inhibitor.

Sarecycline does not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, or CYP3A4/5 isozymes, and does not inhibit OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT2, OAT1, OAT3, or BCRP. Sarecycline does not induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, or CYP3A4/5 isozymes.

12.4Microbiology Mechanism of Action In P. acnes , sarecycline binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit and interacts with 16S ribosomal RNA. Furthermore, it protrudes its C7 moiety into the mRNA binding channel to interact with mRNA. Sarecycline blocks P. acnes protein synthesis and inhibits bacterial growth however, the clinical significance is unknown.

Resistance P. acnes strains displayed a low propensity for the development of resistance to sarecycline, with spontaneous mutation frequencies being 10 -10 at 4 – 8 × MIC. Antimicrobial Activity Sarecycline is active in vitro against most isolates of Propionibacterium acnes .

💬 Information for Patients ~2 min read ▾

17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling ( Patient Information ). Patients taking SEYSARA should receive the following information and instructions: SEYSARA should not be used by pregnant women or women attempting to conceive a child [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] . Advise a woman that breastfeeding is not recommended during SEYSARA therapy.

Advise patients that C. difficile colitis can occur with antibiotic therapy. If patients develop watery or bloody stools, they should seek medical attention. Advise patients that intracranial hypertension can occur with tetracycline therapy.

If patients experience headache or blurred vision, they should seek medical attention. Patients who experience central nervous system symptoms should be cautioned about driving vehicles or using hazardous machinery while on SEYSARA therapy. Patients should seek medical help for persistent central nervous system symptoms.

Photosensitivity manifested by an exaggerated sunburn reaction has been observed in some individuals taking tetracyclines. Advise patients to minimize or avoid exposure to natural or artificial sunlight (tanning beds or UVA/B treatment) while using SEYSARA. If patients need to be outdoors while using SEYSARA, they should wear loose-fitting clothes that protect skin from sun exposure and discuss other sun protection measures with their physician.

Treatment should be discontinued at the first evidence of skin erythema. Advise patients that because of the potential for drug-resistant bacteria to develop during the use of SEYSARA, take SEYSARA as directed. Skipping doses or not completing the full course of therapy may decrease the effectiveness of the current treatment course and increase the likelihood that bacteria will develop resistance and will not be treatable by other antibacterial drugs in the future.

Advise patients to drink fluids liberally along with SEYSARA to reduce the risk of esophageal irritation and ulceration [see Dosage and Administration ( 2 )] . © 2019 Almirall, LLC. All rights reserved. SEYSARA ® is a registered trademark of Almirall, LLC.

🧬 Pharmacokinetics ~2 min read ▾

12.3Pharmacokinetics Increasing the SEYSARA dose from 60 to 150 mg once daily in healthy subjects resulted in a slightly less than proportional increase in sarcyeline steady-state C max and AUC tau . A mean accumulation ratio of sarecycline ranges from 1.5 to 1.6 fold with repeated dosing. Steady-state of sarecycline was reached by Day 7.

Absorption The median time to peak plasma concentration (T max ) of sarecycline is 1.5 to 2.0 hours. Effect of Food Coadministration with a high-fat (approximately 50% of total caloric content of the meal), high-calorie (800 to 1000 Kcal) meal that included milk delayed T max by approximately 0.53 hour and decreased sarecycline C max by 31% and AUC by 27%.

🔬 Clinical Studies 205 words ▾

14 CLINICAL STUDIES The safety and efficacy of once daily SEYSARA was assessed in two 12-week multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies (Study 1 [NCT02320149] and Study 2 [NCT02322866]). Efficacy was assessed in a total of 2002 subjects 9 years of age and older. Overall, 57% were female, 78% were Caucasian, 15% were Black or African American and 51% were adults (18 to 45 years of age).

Subjects were randomized to receive either SEYSARA or placebo once daily. The two co-primary efficacy endpoints were: Percentage of subjects with Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA) success: a score of clear (0) or almost clear (1) and 2-point decrease from baseline on IGA score at Week 12. Absolute reduction from baseline in inflammatory lesion counts at Week 12.

The results at Week 12 are presented in the following table. Table 2: Clinical Efficacy of SEYSARA at Week 12 Study 1 Study 2 SEYSARA (N=483) Placebo (N=485) SEYSARA (N=519) Placebo (N=515) Investigator’s Global Assessment IGA Success 21.9% 10.5% 22.6% 15.3% Inflammatory Lesions Mean absolute reduction 15.3 10.2 15.5

11.1Mean percent reduction 52.2% 35.2% 50.8% 36.4% Mean absolute and percent reduction in inflammatory lesions was also greater with SEYSARA compared to placebo at Weeks 3, 6, and 9 for both studies.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility In a 2-year oral mouse carcinogenicity study and a 2-year oral rat carcinogenicity study, no drug-related neoplasms were observed in male mice at oral doses of sarecycline up to 100 mg/kg/day (approximately equal to the MRHD based on AUC comparison) or in female mice at doses up to 60 mg/kg/day (approximately equal to the MRHD based on AUC comparison), or in rats at doses up to 200/100 mg/kg/day (dose reduced from 200 to 100 mg/kg/day due to increased mortality; 8 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison).

Sarecycline was not mutagenic or clastogenic in a series of in vitro and in vivo genotoxicity studies, including a bacteria reverse mutation (Ames) assay, an in vitro chromosomal aberration assay in CHO cells, the L5178Y/TK +/- Mouse Lymphoma Assay, and an in vivo micronucleus assay in rats. In a fertility and early embryonic development study in rats, sarecycline was administered to both male and female rats at oral doses up to 400 mg/kg/day prior to pairing and through the mating and postmating period. Female fertility was not affected at doses up to 400 mg/kg/day (8 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison).

In sperm evaluation, decreased sperm motility, decreased sperm count and concentration, and an increase in percent abnormal sperm occurred at 400 mg/kg/day (8 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison). Male fertility was not affected at doses up to 150 mg/kg/day (4 times the MRHD based on AUC comparison).

Questions about this listing

Is this NDC FDA-approved?
An NDC listing does not by itself establish FDA approval — the NDC Directory records that a product is listed with FDA, not that it was reviewed and approved. This listing's marketing category is "Drug For Further Processing". Products approved under an application carry an NDA, ANDA, or BLA number.
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 form printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed is the one the FDA registered. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero and the dashes are dropped. The Identity section at the top of this page lists each form of this code.
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 Almirall, LLC. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Does this product come in other package sizes?
Yes — the FDA directory lists 1 other package presentation of this same product, including 192000 tablets (16110-0247-00). Each has its own NDC and its own page — see the package list near the top of this page.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
Almirall, LLC 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.
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.
Where does this data come from?
Listing facts (marketing category, packager status, marketing dates) from the FDA openFDA NDC Directory; label availability from DailyMed; pricing coverage from CMS NADAC; equivalence scope from the FDA Orange Book.
For educational and professional reference only — not medical advice. Pricing reflects published NADAC and CMS ASP (free public data) and may differ from your acquisition cost; always verify before billing or dispensing.
