Label name FOSAMPRENAVIR 700 MG TABLET Ingredient Fosamprenavir Calcium
📖 What it is MedlinePlus · NLM

Fosamprenavir is used to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Fosamprenavir is in a class of medications called protease inhibitors. It works by decreasing the amount of HIV in the blood. Although fosamprenavir does not cure HIV, it may decrease your chance of developing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and HIV-related illnesses. Taking these medications and making other life-style changes may decrease the risk of giving the HIV virus to other people.

13 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 eachPer 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.

ℹ️
No price is published for this exact package yet. CMS surveys NADAC per package size, so a different pack of the same drug often has one.

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.

📊 Medicare Part D spend CMS · PART D · 2026 (Q1)

Medicare Part D (outpatient prescription) spending for Fosamprenavir Calcium — the program that covers self-administered drugs. 2 manufacturers.
⚠️ 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 Fosamprenavir Calcium. 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.

💵 About the dollar figures: spending is what Part D plans paid before confidential manufacturer rebates, so the program’s real net cost is lower. A blank patient count means fewer than 11 people — CMS hides counts that small to protect privacy. Source: CMS Medicare Quarterly Part D Spending by Drug (data.cms.gov), updated quarterly.

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 63304-583-01, 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: 63304-0583-01, written without dashes as 63304058301. 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 63304-0583-01, the first segment (63304) is the labeler code FDA assigned to Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc.; the middle segment (0583) identifies this specific product — its ingredient, strength, and dosage form; and the last segment (01) 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 Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc.. 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 2 other package presentations of this same product, including 30 tablets (63304-0583-30), 60 tablets (63304-0583-60). 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?
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, 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.
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?

2.1General Dosing Information Fosamprenavir calcium tablets may be taken with or without food. Adults should take fosamprenavir calcium oral suspension without food. Pediatric patients should take fosamprenavir calcium oral suspension with food [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] .

If emesis occurs within 30 minutes after dosing, re-dosing of fosamprenavir calcium oral suspension should occur. Higher-than-approved dose combinations of fosamprenavir calcium tablets plus ritonavir are not recommended due to an increased risk of transaminase elevations [see Overdosage (10)] . When fosamprenavir calcium tablets are used in combination with ritonavir, prescribers should consult the full prescribing information for ritonavir.

2.2Adults Therapy-Naive Adults Fosamprenavir calcium tablets 1,400 mg twice daily (without ritonavir). Fosamprenavir calcium tablets 1,400 mg once daily plus ritonavir 200 mg once daily. Fosamprenavir calcium tablets 1,400 mg once daily plus ritonavir 100 mg once daily.

Fosamprenavir calcium tablets 700 mg twice daily plus ritonavir 100 mg twice daily.

Initiation of medications that inhibit or induce CYP3A may increase or decrease concentrations of fosamprenavir calcium/ritonavir, respectively. These interactions may lead to: clinically significant adverse reactions, potentially leading to severe, life-threatening, or fatal events from greater exposures of concomitant medications. clinically significant adverse reactions from greater exposures of fosamprenavir calcium/ritonavir. loss of therapeutic effect of fosamprenavir calcium/ritonavir and possible development of resistance.

See Table 6 for steps to prevent or manage these possible and known significant drug interactions, including dosing recommendations [see Drug Interactions (7)] . Consider the potential for drug interactions prior to and during therapy with fosamprenavir calcium/ritonavir; review concomitant medications during therapy with fosamprenavir calcium/ritonavir, and monitor for the adverse reactions associated with the concomitant medications [see Contraindications (4), Drug Interactions (7)] .

5.2Skin Reactions Severe and life-threatening skin reactions, including 1 case of Stevens-Johnson syndrome among 700 subjects treated with fosamprenavir calcium in clinical trials. Treatment with fosamprenavir calcium should be discontinued for severe or life-threatening rashes and for moderate rashes accompanied by systemic symptoms [see Adverse Reactions (6)] .

5.3Sulfa Allergy Fosamprenavir calcium should be used with caution in patients with a known sulfonamide allergy. Fosamprenavir contains a sulfonamide moiety. The potential for cross-sensitivity between drugs in the sulfonamide class and fosamprenavir is unknown.

In a clinical trial of fosamprenavir calcium used as the sole protease inhibitor, rash occurred in 2 of 10 subjects (20%) with a history of sulfonamide allergy compared with 42 of 126 subjects (33%) with no history of sulfonamide allergy. In 2 clinical trials of fosamprenavir calcium plus low-dose ritonavir, rash occurred in 8 of 50 subjects (16%) with a history of sulfonamide allergy compared with 50 of 412 subjects (12%) with no history of sulfonamide allergy.

🤒 Adverse Reactions ~3 min read ▾

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Severe or life-threatening skin reactions have been reported with the use of fosamprenavir calcium [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. The most common moderate to severe adverse reactions in clinical trials of fosamprenavir calcium were diarrhea, rash, nausea, vomiting, and headache. Treatment discontinuation due to adverse events occurred in 6.4% of subjects receiving fosamprenavir calcium and in 5.9% of subjects receiving comparator treatments.

The most common adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of fosamprenavir calcium (incidence less than or equal to 1% of subjects) included diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, AST increased, ALT increased, and rash. In adults the most common adverse reactions (incidence greater than or equal to 4%) are diarrhea, rash, nausea, vomiting, and headache. (6.1) Vomiting and neutropenia were more frequent in pediatrics than in adults.

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 with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. Adult Trials The data for the 3 active-controlled clinical trials described below reflect exposure of 700 HIV-1-infected subjects to fosamprenavir calcium tablets, including 599 subjects exposed to fosamprenavir calcium for greater than 24 weeks, and 409 subjects exposed for greater than 48 weeks.

The population age ranged from 17 to 72 years. Of these subjects, 26% were female, 51% white, 31% black, 16% American Hispanic, and 70% were antiretroviral-naive. Sixty-one percent received fosamprenavir calcium 1,400 mg once daily plus ritonavir 200 mg once daily; 24% received fosamprenavir calcium 1,400 mg twice daily; and 15% received fosamprenavir calcium 700 mg twice daily plus ritonavir 100 mg twice daily.

Selected adverse reactions reported during the clinical efficacy trials of fosamprenavir calcium are shown in Tables 2 and 3. Each table presents adverse reactions of moderate or severe intensity in subjects treated with combination therapy for up to 48 weeks. Table 2.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Coadministration of fosamprenavir calcium with drugs that induce CYP3A4 may decrease amprenavir (active metabolite) concentrations leading to potential loss of virologic activity. (7, 12.3) Coadministration with drugs that inhibit CYP3A4 may increase amprenavir concentrations. (7, 12.3) Coadministration of fosamprenavir calcium or fosamprenavir calcium and ritonavir may result in clinically significant interactions with drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.

(7) Coadministration of fosamprenavir calcium and ritonavir may result in clinically significant interactions with drugs metabolized by CYP2D6. (7)

7.1Cytochrome P450 Inhibitors and Inducers Amprenavir, the active metabolite of fosamprenavir, is an inhibitor of CYP3A4 metabolism and therefore should not be administered concurrently with medications with narrow therapeutic windows that are substrates of CYP3A4. Data also suggest that amprenavir induces CYP3A4. Amprenavir is metabolized by CYP3A4.

Coadministration of fosamprenavir calcium and drugs that induce CYP3A4, such as rifampin, may decrease amprenavir concentrations and reduce its therapeutic effect. Coadministration of fosamprenavir calcium and drugs that inhibit CYP3A4 may increase amprenavir concentrations and increase the incidence of adverse effects. The potential for drug interactions with fosamprenavir calcium changes when fosamprenavir calcium is coadministered with the potent CYP3A4 inhibitor ritonavir.

The magnitude of CYP3A4-mediated drug interactions (effect on amprenavir or effect on coadministered drug) may change when fosamprenavir calcium is coadministered with ritonavir. Because ritonavir is a CYP2D6 inhibitor, clinically significant interactions with drugs metabolized by CYP2D6 are possible when coadministered with fosamprenavir calcium plus ritonavir. Ritonavir also appears to induce CYP3A, CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2B6, as well as other enzymes, including glucuronosyl transferase.

There are other agents that may result in serious and/or life-threatening drug interactions [see Contraindications (4)] .

7.2Established and Other Potentially Significant Drug Interactions If fosamprenavir calcium is used in combination with ritonavir, see full prescribing information for ritonavir for additional information on drug interactions [see Contraindications (4), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] . Table 6 provides a listing of established or potentially clinically significant drug interactions. Information in the table applies to fosamprenavir calcium with or without ritonavir, unless otherwise indicated.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: Breastfeeding is not recommended due to potential for HIV transmission. (8.2)

8.1Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to fosamprenavir calcium during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (APR) at 1-800-258-4263. Risk Summary Limited data are available for use of fosamprenavir calcium in pregnancy. fosamprenavir calcium 700 mg twice daily taken with ritonavir 100 mg twice daily should only be considered in pregnant patients who are already on a stable twice-daily regimen of fosamprenavir calcium/ritonavir 700 mg/100 mg prior to pregnancy, and who are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL) (see Clinical Considerations and Data).

There are insufficient human data on the use of fosamprenavir during pregnancy to adequately assess a drug-associated risk for birth defects and miscarriage. Given the limited number of pregnancies exposed to fosamprenavir-based regimens, no conclusions can be drawn on the safety of fosamprenavir in pregnancy. The background risk for major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown.

The background rate for major birth defects in a U.S. reference population of the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP) is 2.7% (see Data) . The estimated background rate of miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies in the U.S. general population is 15% to 20%. In animal reproduction studies, no evidence of major adverse developmental outcomes was observed following oral administration of fosamprenavir.

Systemic exposure to amprenavir (the active ingredient) was less than (rabbits) or up to 2 times (rats) those in humans at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) with or without ritonavir. In contrast, oral administration of amprenavir was associated with abortions in pregnant rabbits at doses that produced approximately one-twentieth the human exposure at the MRHD. In the rat pre- and postnatal development study, toxicities to the offspring, including reduced survival and reproductive performance, were observed at maternal systemic exposures (AUC) to amprenavir that were approximately 2 times the exposure in humans at the MRHD of fosamprenavir alone or approximately the same as those seen in humans following administration of the MRHD of fosamprenavir in combination with ritonavir (see Data).

Clinical Considerations Virologic Monitoring During Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period: Based on limited data on the use of fosamprenavir calcium during pregnancy, no dosage adjustments are required for pregnant patients who are already on a stable twice-daily regimen of fosamprenavir calcium 700 mg taken with ritonavir 100 mg prior to pregnancy, and who are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL) [see Dosage and Administration (2.3), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] . In a clinical trial of 10 HIV-1–infected pregnant women treated with fosamprenavir calcium 700 mg taken with ritonavir 100 mg twice daily through postpartum, total amprenavir exposures were lower during pregnancy compared with the postpartum period.

Therefore, viral load should be monitored closely to ensure viral suppression is maintained [see Data, Dosage and Administration (2.2), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] . Pregnancy data with other dosage regimens of fosamprenavir calcium (with or without ritonavir) are not available. Data Human Data: fosamprenavir calcium 700 mg taken with ritonavir 100 mg twice daily in combination with a background regimen was evaluated in a clinical trial of 10 HIV-1–infected pregnant women during the second and third trimesters and postpartum.

🧒 Pediatric Use 154 words ▾

8.4Pediatric Use The safety, pharmacokinetic profile, and virologic and immunologic responses of fosamprenavir calcium with and without ritonavir were evaluated in protease inhibitor-naive and -experienced HIV-1–infected pediatric subjects aged at least 4 weeks to younger than 18 years and weighing at least 3 kg in 3 open-label trials [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), Clinical Studies (14.3)] . Treatment with fosamprenavir calcium is not recommended in protease inhibitor-experienced pediatric patients younger than 6 months.

The pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability, and efficacy of fosamprenavir calcium in pediatric patients younger than 4 weeks have not been established [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] . Available pharmacokinetic and clinical data do not support once-daily dosing of fosamprenavir calcium alone or in combination with ritonavir for any pediatrics or twice-daily dosing without ritonavir in pediatric patients younger than 2 years [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), Clinical Studies (14.3)] . See Dosage and Administration (2.3) for dosing recommendations for pediatric patients.

🧓 Geriatric Use 58 words ▾

8.5Geriatric Use Clinical studies of fosamprenavir calcium did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger adults. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.

🆘 Overdosage 127 words ▾

10 OVERDOSAGE In a healthy volunteer repeat-dose pharmacokinetic trial evaluating high-dose combinations of fosamprenavir calcium plus ritonavir, an increased frequency of Grade 2/3 ALT elevations (greater than 2.5 x ULN) was observed with fosamprenavir calcium 1,400 mg twice daily plus ritonavir 200 mg twice daily (4 of 25 subjects). Concurrent Grade 1/2 elevations in AST (greater than 1.25 x ULN) were noted in 3 of these 4 subjects. These transaminase elevations resolved following discontinuation of dosing.

There is no known antidote for fosamprenavir calcium. It is not known whether amprenavir can be removed by peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis, although it is unlikely as amprenavir is highly protein bound. If overdosage occurs, the patient should be monitored for evidence of toxicity and standard supportive treatment applied as necessary.

The mean plasma amprenavir concentrations of the dosing regimens over the dosing intervals are displayed in Figure 1. Figure 1. Mean (±SD) Steady-State Plasma Amprenavir Concentrations and Mean EC 50 Values against HIV from Protease Inhibitor-Naive Subjects (in the Absence of Human Serum) Absorption After administration of a single dose of fosamprenavir calcium to HIV-1-infected subjects, the time to peak amprenavir concentration (T max ) occurred between 1.5 and 4 hours (median 2.5 hours).

The absolute oral bioavailability of amprenavir after administration of fosamprenavir calcium in humans has not been established. After administration of a single 1,400-mg dose in the fasted state, fosamprenavir calcium oral suspension (50 mg per mL) and fosamprenavir calcium tablets (700 mg) provided similar amprenavir exposures (AUC); however, the C max of amprenavir after administration of the suspension formulation was 14.5% higher compared with the tablet. Amprenavir is both a substrate for and inducer of P-glycoprotein.

Effects of Food on Oral Absorption Administration of a single 1,400 mg dose of fosamprenavir calcium tablets in the fed state (standardized high-fat meal: 967 kcal, 67 grams fat, 33 grams protein, 58 grams carbohydrate) compared with the fasted state was associated with no significant changes in amprenavir C max , T max , or AUC 0-∞ [see Dosage and Administration (2)] . Administration of a single 1,400 mg dose of fosamprenavir calcium oral suspension in the fed state (standardized high-fat meal: 967 kcal, 67 grams fat, 33 grams protein, 58 grams carbohydrate) compared with the fasted state was associated with a 46% reduction in C max , a 0.72-hour delay in T max , and a 28% reduction in amprenavir AUC 0-∞.

Distribution In vitro , amprenavir is approximately 90% bound to plasma proteins, primarily to alpha 1 -acid glycoprotein. In vitro , concentration-dependent binding was observed over the concentration range of 1 to 10 mcg per mL, with decreased binding at higher concentrations. The partitioning of amprenavir into erythrocytes is low, but increases as amprenavir concentrations increase, reflecting the higher amount of unbound drug at higher concentrations.

Metabolism After oral administration, fosamprenavir is rapidly and almost completely hydrolyzed to amprenavir and inorganic phosphate prior to reaching the systemic circulation. This occurs in the gut epit…
