Why two NDCs? The FDA registers this code as 49502-806-87 — a 5-3-2 layout, and that's what's printed on the package and shown on DailyMed. For insurance claims, every NDC is standardized to a uniform 11-digit 5-4-2 format by adding a zero to the product segment → 49502-0806-87. Same drug, same package — only the format differs.

🩺 Clinical

Label name YUPELRI 175 MCG/3 ML SOLUTION Ingredient Revefenacin
📖 What it is MedlinePlus · NLM

Revefenacin oral inhalation is used to control wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD; a group of diseases that affect the lungs and airways, that includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema). Revefenacin is in a class of medications called anticholinergics. It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways in your lungs which makes it easier to breathe.

6 inactive ingredients listed in the exact product block matched to this NDC.

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 systemPer mLPer package
Retail pharmacies payNADAC · weekly Not in the retail survey — common for institutional, discontinued, or low-volume packs.

Medicare drug plans payPart D · Q2 2026 $17.86 $374.96 / 21 ml
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.

We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.

🛡️ Latest patent/protection date listed: FDA patent/protection data lists protections through Oct 2039. This may affect when a full generic version becomes widely available, but it is not a guaranteed launch date.
📅 FDA approved Nov 9, 2018 RLD RS ⏳ ~13.1 yr to latest listed protection

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.

LOE
Substance patent Formulation patent Method-of-use patent Exclusivity Pediatric +6mo
🏛️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 YUPELRI 175 MCG/3 ML SOLUTION?
No FDA-approved generic equivalent is currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for YUPELRI 175 MCG/3 ML SOLUTION. Based on the patents and exclusivity currently listed, the Orange Book estimate is that full-label generic entry may be delayed until Oct 2039 — 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.

💊 Medicaid utilization by pack size

Medicaid (SDUD) totals over the four most recent reported quarters for every package size of this drug — handy when a specific package (e.g. a starter/titration pack) carries little or no Medicaid volume on its own.

⚠️ 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 Yupelri. 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 49502-806-87, 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: 49502-0806-87, written without dashes as 49502080687. 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 49502-0806-87, the first segment (49502) is the labeler code FDA assigned to Viatris Specialty LLC; the middle segment (0806) identifies this specific product — its ingredient, strength, and dosage form; and the last segment (87) 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 Viatris Specialty 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 30 pouches (49502-0806-93). 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?
Viatris Specialty 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.
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.
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?

5.1Deterioration of Disease and Acute Episodes YUPELRI should not be initiated in patients during acutely deteriorating or potentially life-threatening episodes of COPD. YUPELRI has not been studied in subjects with acutely deteriorating COPD. The initiation of YUPELRI in this setting is not appropriate.

YUPELRI is intended as a once-daily maintenance treatment for COPD and should not be used for relief of acute symptoms, i.e. as rescue therapy for the treatment of acute episodes of bronchospasm, and extra doses should not be used for that purpose. Acute symptoms should be treated with an inhaled, short-acting beta 2 -agonist. COPD may deteriorate acutely over a period of hours or chronically over several days or longer.

If YUPELRI no longer controls symptoms of bronchoconstriction, the patient's inhaled, short-acting beta 2 -agonist becomes less effective, or the patient needs more inhalations of a short-acting beta 2 -agonist than usual, these may be markers of deterioration of disease. In this setting, a re-evaluation of the patient and the COPD treatment regimen should be undertaken at once. Increasing the daily dose of YUPELRI beyond the recommended dose is not appropriate in this situation.

5.2Paradoxical Bronchospasm As with other inhaled medicines, YUPELRI can produce paradoxical bronchospasm that may be life-threatening. If paradoxical bronchospasm occurs following dosing with YUPELRI, it should be treated immediately with an inhaled, short-acting bronchodilator; YUPELRI should be discontinued immediately and alternative therapy should be instituted.

5.3Worsening of Narrow-Angle Glaucoma YUPELRI should be used with caution in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma. Prescribers and patients should be alert for signs and symptoms of acute narrow-angle glaucoma (e.g. eye pain or discomfort, blurred vision, visual halos or colored images in association with red eyes from conjunctival congestion and corneal edema). Instruct patients to consult a physician immediately if any of these signs or symptoms develops.

5.4Worsening of Urinary Retention YUPELRI should be used with caution in patients with urinary retention. Prescribers and patients should be alert for signs and symptoms of urinary retention (e.g. difficulty passing urine, painful urination), especially in patients with prostatic hyperplasia or bladder-neck obstruction. Instruct patients to consult a healthcare provider immediately if any of these signs or symptoms develops.

5.5Immediate Hypersensitivity Reactions Immediate hypersensitivity reactions may occur after administration of YUPELRI. If such a reaction occurs, therapy with YUPELRI should be stopped at once and alternative treatments should be considered.

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in labeling: • Paradoxical bronchospasm [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] • Worsening of narrow-angle glaucoma [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] • Worsening of urinary retention [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] • Immediate hypersensitivity reactions [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Most common adverse reactions (incidence greater than or equal to 2% and more common than placebo) include cough, nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infection, headache, and back pain.

( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Mylan at 1-877-446-3679 (1-877-4-INFO-RX) or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

6.1Clinical Trial 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. The YUPELRI safety database included 2,285 subjects with COPD in two 12-week efficacy studies and one 52-week long-term safety study. A total of 730 subjects received treatment with YUPELRI 175 mcg once daily.

The safety data described below are based on the two 12-week trials and the one 52-week trial. 12-Week Trials YUPELRI was studied in two 12-week replicate placebo-controlled trials in patients with moderate to very severe COPD (Trials 1 and 2). In these trials, 395 patients were treated with YUPELRI at the recommended dose of 175 mcg once daily.

The population had a mean age of 64 years (range from 41 to 88 years), with 50% males, 90% Caucasian, and had COPD with a mean post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1 ) percent predicted of 55%. Of subjects enrolled in the two 12-week trials, 37% were taking concurrent LABA or ICS/LABA therapy. Patients with unstable cardiac disease, narrow-angle glaucoma, or symptomatic prostatic hypertrophy or bladder outlet obstruction were excluded from these trials.

Table 1 shows the most common adverse reactions that occurred with a frequency of greater than or equal to 2% in the YUPELRI group and higher than placebo in the two 12‑week placebo-controlled trials. The proportion of subjects who discontinued treatment due to adverse reactions was 13% for the YUPELRI-treated subjects and 19% for placebo-treated subjects. Table 1: Adverse Reactions with YUPELRI ≥2% Incidence and Higher than Placebo Adverse Reaction Placebo (N = 418) YUPELRI 175 mcg (N = 395) Respiratory, Thoracic and Mediastinal Disorders Cough 17 (4%) 17 (4%) Infections and Infestations Nasopharyngitis 9 (2%) 15 (4%) Upper respiratory tract infection 9 (2%) 11 (3%) Nervous System Disorders Headache 11 (3%) 16 (4%) Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders Back pain 3 (1%) 9 (2%) Other adverse reactions defined as events with an incidence of ≥1.0%, less than 2.0%, and more common than with placebo included the following: hypertension, dizziness, oropharyngeal pain, and bronchitis.

52-Week Trial YUPELRI was studied in one 52-week, open-label, active-control (tiotropium 18 mcg once daily) trial in 1,055 patients with COPD. In this trial, 335 patients were treated with YUPELRI 175 mcg once daily and 356 patients with tiotropium. The demographic and baseline characteristics of the long-term safety trial were similar to those of the placebo-controlled 12-week studies described, with the exception that concurrent LABA or LABA/ICS therapy was used in 50% of patients.

The adverse reactions reported in the long-term safety trial for YUPELRI were consistent with those observed in the placebo-controlled studies of 12-weeks.

6.2Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reaction has been reported during post-approval use of YUPELRI. Because this reaction was reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate the frequency or establish a c…

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Anticholinergics: May interact additively with concomitantly used anticholinergic medications. Avoid administration of YUPELRI with other anticholinergic-containing drugs. ( 7.1 ) • Transporter-related drug interactions: Coadministration of YUPELRI with OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 inhibitors (e.g. rifampicin, cyclosporine, etc.) may lead to an increase in exposure of the active metabolite.

Therefore, coadministration with YUPELRI is not recommended. ( 7.2 , 12.3 )

7.1Anticholinergics There is potential for an additive interaction with concomitantly used anticholinergic medicines. Therefore, avoid coadministration of YUPELRI with other anticholinergic-containing drugs as this may lead to an increase in anticholinergic adverse effects [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3 , 5.4 )] .

7.2Transporter-Related Drug Interactions OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 inhibitors (e.g. rifampicin, cyclosporine, etc.) could lead to an increase in systemic exposure of the active metabolite. Therefore, coadministration with YUPELRI is not recommended [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

Drug Interaction Studies Revefenacin and Cytochrome P450 Neither revefenacin nor its active metabolite inhibits the following cytochrome P450 isoforms: CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4/5. Neither revefenacin nor its active metabolite induces CYP1A2, CYP2B6, and CYP3A4/5. Revefenacin and Efflux Transporters Revefenacin is a substrate of P-gp and BCRP.

Neither revefenacin nor its active metabolite is an inhibitor of these efflux transporters. Revefenacin and Uptake Transporters The active metabolite of revefenacin is a substrate of OATP1B1 and OATP1B3. Neither revefenacin nor its active metabolite is an inhibitor of the uptake transporters OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, OAT3, or OCT2.

👥 Use in Specific Populations ~3 min read ▾

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Hepatic impairment: Avoid use of YUPELRI in patients with hepatic impairment. ( 8.6 , 12.3 )

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no adequate and well-controlled studies with YUPELRI in pregnant women. Women should be advised to contact their physician if they become pregnant while taking YUPELRI. In animal reproduction studies, subcutaneous administration of revefenacin to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis produced no evidence of fetal harm at respective exposures approximately 209 times the exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) (on an area under the curve [AUC] basis) (see Data ) .

The estimated 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 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In an embryo‑fetal development study in pregnant rats dosed during the period of organogenesis from gestation days 6 to 17, revefenacin was not teratogenic and did not affect fetal survival at exposures up to 209 times the MRHD (based upon summed AUCs for revefenacin and its active metabolite at maternal subcutaneous doses up to 500 mcg/kg/day).

In an embryo‑fetal development study in pregnant rabbits dosed during the period of organogenesis from gestation days 7 to 19, revefenacin was not teratogenic and did not affect fetal survival at exposures up to 694 times the MRHD (based upon summed AUCs for revefenacin and its active metabolite at maternal subcutaneous doses up to 500 mcg/kg/day). Placental transfer of revefenacin and its active metabolite was observed in pregnant rabbits. In a pre- and postnatal development (PPND) study in pregnant rats dosed during the periods of organogenesis and lactation from gestation day 6 to lactation day 20, revefenacin had no adverse developmental effects on pups at exposures up to 196 times the MRHD (based upon summed AUCs for revefenacin and its active metabolite at maternal subcutaneous doses up to 500 mcg/kg/day).

8.2Lactation Risk Summary There is no information regarding the presence of revefenacin in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. However, revefenacin was present in the milk of lactating rats following dosing during pregnancy and lactation (see Data ) . The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for YUPELRI and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from YUPELRI or from the underlying maternal condition.

Data Animal Data In a PPND study [see Pregnancy (8.1) ], revefenacin and its active metabolite were present in milk of lactating rats on lactation day 22. Milk-to-plasma concentration ratios were up to 10 for revefenacin and its active metabolite.

8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of YUPELRI have not been established in pediatric patients. YUPELRI is not indicated for use in children.

8.5Geriatric Use Based on available data, no adjustment of the dosage of YUPELRI in geriatric patients is necessary. Clinical trials of YUPELRI included 441 subjects aged 65 years and older, and of those, 101 subjects were aged 75 years and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.

8.6Hepatic Impairment The systemic exposure of revefenacin is unchanged while that of its active metabolite is increased in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment. The safety of YUPELRI has not been evaluated in COPD patients with mild-to-severe hepatic impairment. YUPELRI is not recommended in patients with any degree of hepatic impairment.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action Revefenacin is a long-acting muscarinic antagonist, which is often referred to as an anticholinergic. It has similar affinity to the subtypes of muscarinic receptors M1 to M5. In the airways, it exhibits pharmacological effects through inhibition of M3 receptor at the smooth muscle leading to bronchodilation.

The competitive and reversible nature of antagonism was shown with human and animal origin receptors and isolated organ preparations. In preclinical in vitro as well as in vivo models, prevention of methacholine- and acetylcholine-induced bronchoconstrictive effects was dose-dependent and lasted longer than 24 hours. The clinical relevance of these findings is unknown.

The bronchodilation following inhalation of revefenacin is predominantly a site-specific effect.

12.2Pharmacodynamics Cardiac Electrophysiology QTc interval prolongation was studied in a randomized, double-blind, placebo- and positive‑controlled, single dose, crossover trial in 48 healthy subjects. Following a single dose of revefenacin 700 mcg (4 times the recommended dosage), no effects on prolongation of QTc interval were observed.

12.3Pharmacokinetics Revefenacin pharmacokinetic parameters are presented as the mean [standard deviation (SD)] unless otherwise specified. Following repeat dosing of inhaled YUPELRI, steady-state was achieved within 7 days with <1.6‑fold accumulation. Revefenacin exposure (C max and AUC) in COPD patients is approximately 60% lower as compared to healthy subjects.

Exposure (C max and AUC) of the active metabolite in COPD patients is approximately 2-fold higher as compared to healthy subjects. Revefenacin C max was 0.16 ng/mL (0.11) and AUC was 0.22 ng·hr/mL (0.20) at steady-state after inhaled YUPELRI 175 mcg dose in COPD patients. C max of the active metabolite was 0.20 ng/mL (0.13) and AUC was 0.69 ng·hr/mL (0.53) at steady-state after inhaled YUPELRI 175 mcg dose in COPD patients.

Revefenacin and its active metabolite exposure increased in a slightly greater than dose proportional manner with increasing revefenacin dose. After single or multiple once-daily dosing of YUPELRI, both AUC and C max of revefenacin and its active metabolite increased by approximately 11-fold over the 88 to 700 mcg (8‑fold) dose range. Absorption Following inhaled administration of YUPELRI in healthy subjects or COPD patients, C max of revefenacin and its active metabolite occurred at the first postdose sampling time which ranged from 14 to 41 minutes after start of nebulization.

The absolute bioavailability following an oral dose of revefenacin is low (<3%). Distribution Following intravenous administration to healthy subjects, the mean steady-state volume of distribution of revefenacin was 218 L suggesting extensive distribution to tissues. In vitro protein binding of revefenacin and its active metabolite in human plasma was on average 71% and 42%, respectively.

Elimination The terminal half-life of revefenacin and its active metabolite after once-daily dosing of YUPELRI in COPD patients is 22 to 70 hours. Metabolism In vitro and in vivo data showed that revefenacin is primarily metabolized via hydrolysis of the primary amide to a carboxylic acid forming its major active metabolite. Following inhaled administration of YUPELRI in COPD patients, conversion to its active metabolite occurred rapidly, and plasma exposures of the active metabolite exceeded those of revefenacin by approximately 4- to 6-fold (based on AUC).

The active metabolite is formed by hepatic metabolism and possesses activity at target muscarinic receptors that is lower (approximately one-third to one-tenth) than that of revefenacin. It could potentially contribute to systemic antimuscarinic effects at therapeutic doses. Excretion Following administration of a single intravenous dose of radiolabeled revefenacin to healthy male subjects, approximately 54% of total radioactivity was recovered in the feces and 27% was excreted in th…

📋 Description ~1 min read ▾

11 DESCRIPTION YUPELRI is a sterile, clear, colorless, aqueous solution of revefenacin. Revefenacin, the active component of YUPELRI, is an anticholinergic. The chemical name for revefenacin is 1-(2-{4-[(4-carbamoylpiperidin-1-yl)methyl]- N -methylbenzamido}ethyl)piperidin-4-yl N -({1,1’-biphenyl}-2-yl)carbamate; its structural formula is: Revefenacin has a molecular weight of 597.76 and its empirical formula is C 35 H 43 N 5 O 4 .

Revefenacin is a white to off-white crystalline powder and is slightly soluble in water. YUPELRI is supplied as 3 mL of revefenacin solution packaged in a unit-dose low-density polyethylene vial overwrapped in a foil pouch. Each vial contains 175 mcg of revefenacin in 3 mL of an isotonic, sterile aqueous solution containing citric acid, sodium chloride, sodium citrate, and water for injection at pH 5.0.

Hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide may be used to adjust the pH. YUPELRI does not require dilution prior to administration by nebulization. Like all other nebulized treatments, the amount delivered to the lungs will depend on patient factors, the nebulization system used, and compressor performance.

Using the PARI LC ® Sprint nebulizer connected to a PARI Trek ® S compressor under in vitro conditions, the mean delivered dose from the mouthpiece was approximately 62 mcg (35% of label claim), at a mean flow rate of 4 LPM. The mean nebulization time was 8 minutes. YUPELRI should only be administered via a standard jet nebulizer connected to an air compressor with an adequate airflow, and equipped with a mouthpiece.

💬 Information for Patients ~2 min read ▾

17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Patient Information and Instructions for Use). Not for Acute Symptoms Inform patients that YUPELRI is not meant to relieve acute symptoms of COPD and extra doses should not be used for that purpose. Advise patients to treat acute symptoms with an inhaled, short-acting beta 2 -agonist such as albuterol [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] .

Provide patients with such medicine and instruct them in how it should be used. Instruct patients to seek medical attention immediately if they experience any of the following: • Decreasing effectiveness of inhaled, short-acting beta 2 -agonists • Need for more inhalations than usual of inhaled, short-acting beta 2 -agonists • Significant decrease in lung function as outlined by the physician Tell patients they should not stop therapy with YUPELRI without healthcare provider guidance since symptoms may recur after discontinuation.

Paradoxical Bronchospasm As with other inhaled medicines, YUPELRI can cause paradoxical bronchospasm. If paradoxical bronchospasm occurs, instruct patients to discontinue YUPELRI [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . Worsening of Narrow-Angle Glaucoma Instruct patients to be alert for signs and symptoms of acute narrow-angle glaucoma (e.g. eye pain or discomfort, blurred vision, visual halos, or colored images in association with red eyes from conjunctival congestion and corneal edema).

Instruct patients to consult a healthcare provider immediately if any of these signs or symptoms develops [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . Worsening of Urinary Retention Instruct patients to be alert for signs and symptoms of urinary retention (e.g. difficulty passing urine, painful urination). Instruct patients to consult a healthcare provider immediately if any of these signs or symptoms develops [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] .

Instructions for Administering YUPELRI It is important for patients to understand how to correctly administer YUPELRI using a standard jet nebulizer [see Instructions for Use] . Instruct patients that YUPELRI should only be administered via a standard jet nebulizer. Patients should be instructed not to inject or swallow the YUPELRI solution.

Patients should be instructed not to mix other medications with YUPELRI. Patients should not inhale more than one dose at any one time. The daily dosage of YUPELRI should not exceed one unit-dose vial.

Inform patients to use the contents of one vial of YUPELRI orally inhaled daily at the same time every day. Patients should throw the plastic dispensing vials away immediately after use. Due to their small size, the vials pose a danger of choking to young children.
