🩺 Clinical
Sulopenem etzadroxil and probenecid is used to treat certain types of urinary tract infections (UTIs; an infection that occurs when bacteria enters the urinary tract, usually through the urethra, and settles into the bladder) in patients who have few to no other treatment options they can take by mouth. Sulopenem etzadroxil is in a class of medications called penem antibiotics. It works by killing bacteria. Probenecid is in a class of medications called renal tubular inhibitors. It works by stopping sulopenem from being eliminated from the body too quickly.

⏳ Availability & generic status
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.
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.
🛈 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.

⛔ Contraindications ▾
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS ORLYNVAH is contraindicated in patients with: • A history of hypersensitivity to the components of ORLYNVAH (sulopenem etzadroxil and probenecid) or other beta-lactam antibacterial drugs [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] • Known uric acid kidney stones [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Concomitant use of ORLYNVAH and ketorolac tromethamine is contraindicated [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 )] Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to the components of ORLYNVAH (sulopenem etzadroxil and probenecid) or other beta- lactam antibacterial drugs.
( 4 ) Patients with known uric acid kidney stones. ( 4 ) Concomitant use of ORLYNVAH and ketorolac tromethamine is contraindicated. ( 4 )
⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Reactions : Hypersensitivity reactions have been reported in patients treated with ORLYNVAH. Serious and occasionally fatal hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported with beta-lactam antibacterial drugs. Severe allergic reactions and anaphylaxis have been reported with the use of probenecid (a component of ORLYNVAH).
If an allergic reaction to ORLYNVAH occurs, discontinue the drug and institute appropriate therapy. ( 5.1 ) Clostridioides difficile -Associated Diarrhea (CDAD) : This has been reported with nearly all systemic antibacterial agents. Evaluate if diarrhea occurs.
( 5.2 ) Exacerbation of Gout : When prescribing ORLYNVAH to patients with a known history of gout, ensure appropriate therapy of gout is instituted. ( 5.4 ) Uric Acid Nephropathy in Patients at Risk for Tumor Lysis Syndrome : When prescribing ORLYNVAH to patients with risk factors for tumor lysis syndrome, take appropriate measures to reduce the risk. ( 5.5 )
5.1Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions, specifically cases of angioedema, have been reported in patients treated with ORLYNVAH [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )]. Serious and occasionally fatal hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, and serious skin reactions have been reported in patients receiving beta-lactam antibacterial drugs [see Contraindications ( 4 )]. Before therapy with ORLYNVAH is instituted, carefully inquire about previous hypersensitivity reactions to other carbapenems, cephalosporins, penicillins, or other beta-lactams because cross- hypersensitivity among beta-lactam antibacterial drugs has been reported.
Severe allergic reactions and anaphylaxis have been reported with the use of probenecid (a component of ORLYNVAH). If an allergic reaction to ORLYNVAH occurs, discontinue the drug and institute appropriate supportive measures.
5.2Clostridioides difficile -Associated Diarrhea Clostridioides difficile -associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported in users of nearly all systemic antibacterial drugs with severity ranging from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. Treatment with antibacterial agents can alter 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 antibacterial 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 agents.
If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, ongoing antibacterial use not directed against C. difficile should be discontinued, if possible. Appropriate measures such as fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibacterial treatment of C. difficile , and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated.
5.3Risk of Uric Acid Kidney Stone Development When prescribing ORLYNVAH to patients with a history of gout, appropriate measures to reduce the risk of uric acid kidney stone development should be instituted, such as increased fluid intake and alkalization of the urine. ORLYNVAH is contraindicated in patients with known uric acid kidney stones [see Contraindications ( 4 )] .
5.4Exacerbation of Gout ORLYNVAH may cause exacerbation of gout. When prescribing ORLYNVAH to patients with a known history of gout, ensure appropriate therapy of gout is instituted.
5.5Uric Acid Nephropathy in Patients at Risk for Tumor Lysis Syndrome The probenecid component of ORLYNVAH may increase the risk of uric acid nephropathy in patients at risk for tumor lysis syndrome (TLS). When prescribing ORLYNVAH to patients with risk factors for TLS, take appropriate measures to reduce the risk.

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 rates observed in practice. ORLYNVAH was evaluated in two Phase 3 controlled, multinational, randomized, double blind, double dummy clinical trials (Trial 1 and Trial 2) in adult women with uUTI. Therapy with oral ORLYNVAH tablets was administered as one tablet twice daily for 5 days [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )].
The trials included 1932 patients treated with ORLYNVAH and 1929 patients treated with comparator antibacterial drugs (ciprofloxacin or amoxicillin/clavulanate). The median age of patients treated with ORLYNVAH was 50 years, ranging between 18 and 91 years old. Patients treated with ORLYNVAH were all female (100%), predominantly White (83%) and from the United States (83%).
Serious Adverse Reactions and Adverse Reactions Leading to Discontinuation Serious adverse reactions occurred in 6/1932 (0.3%) of uUTI patients treated with ORLYNVAH and in 2/822 (0.2%) and 5/1107 (0.5%) of patients treated with ciprofloxacin or amoxicillin/clavulanate, respectively. Treatment discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 21/1932 (1%) of patients treated with ORLYNVAH, 8/822 (1%) of patients treated with ciprofloxacin, and 4/1107 (0.4%) of patients treated with amoxicillin/clavulanate. The most commonly reported adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of ORLYNVAH were nausea (6/1932; 0.3%), diarrhea (5/1932; 0.3%), as well as abdominal pain, gastroesophageal reflux disease, vomiting, and dizziness, each 0.2% (3/1932).
Most Common Adverse Reactions Adverse reactions occurring at 2% or greater in patients receiving ORLYNVAH were diarrhea, nausea, vulvovaginal mycotic infection, headache, and vomiting. Table 1 lists adverse reactions reported in ≥1% of patients receiving ORLYNVAH in the phase 3 uUTI trials (Trial 1 and Trial 2). The most common adverse reactions in patients treated with ORLYNVAH were diarrhea (10%) and nausea (4%).

No clinically significant reduction in plasma valproic acid concentrations was observed following concomitant use with ORLYNVAH [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .
7.2Potential for Other Drugs to Affect ORLYNVAH Sulopenem is a substrate of OAT3; therefore, drugs that inhibit OAT3 may increase sulopenem plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. If concomitant use with ORLYNVAH is necessary, monitor more frequently for adverse reactions associated with ORLYNVAH (e.g., diarrhea and nausea) [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )].
7.3Drug/Laboratory Interactions Treatment with ORLYNVAH may interfere with copper sulfate urine glucose tests, resulting in false-positive readings for glycosuria. Suspected glycosuria should be confirmed by using a test specific for glucose. Falsely high readings for theophylline have been reported in an in vitro study, using the Schack and Waxler technique, when therapeutic concentrations of theophylline and probenecid (a component of ORLYNVAH) were added to human plasma.

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Sulopenem Etzadroxil There are no available data on sulopenem etzadroxil use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Sulopenem etzadroxil was orally administered during organogenesis in embryo-fetal studies in mice, rats, and rabbits. In pregnant mice, maternal toxicity and an increased litter incidence of a fetal malformation, cleft palate, was observed with an oral dose of sulopenem etzadroxil associated with plasma sulopenem exposure approximately 23 times the clinical sulopenem exposure for the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 1000 mg/day sulopenem etzadroxil.
In pregnant rats and rabbits, orally administered sulopenem etzadroxil was not associated with fetal malformations at any dose, but in rats, maternal toxicity and reduced fetal body weights occurred at sulopenem etzadroxil doses associated with sulopenem plasma exposures approximately 2 and 6 times, respectively, the clinical sulopenem exposure for the MRHD of sulopenem etzadroxil. In rabbits, maternal toxicity and reduced fetal body weights occurred at sulopenem etzadroxil doses associated with sulopenem plasma exposures approximately 0.1 and 0.2 times, respectively, the clinical sulopenem exposure for the MRHD of sulopenem etzadroxil.
Probenecid Available published data over several decades of probenecid use in pregnant woman have not identified a drug-associated risk of miscarriage, major birth defects, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Probenecid crosses the placental barrier and appears in cord blood. The estimated 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 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 Sulopenem etzadroxil: In an embryo-fetal development (EFD) study in mice, sulopenem etzadroxil was administered to pregnant females in oral doses of 100, 400, and 2000 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from GD 6 to GD 15.
Reduced fetal body weights and a fetal malformation, cleft palate, occurred with an increased fetal and litter incidence in the 2000 mg/kg/day group (approximately 23 times the clinical sulopenem exposure for the MRHD of sulopenem etzadroxil based on plasma AUC comparison). At the same dose, maternal clinical signs (rales, dyspnea, decreased motor activity) were observed, and maternal body weight gains were reduced. No maternal toxicity or fetal malformations occurred with doses ≤ 400 mg/kg/day (approximately 3 times the clinical sulopenem exposure for the MRHD of sulopenem etzadroxil based on plasma AUC comparison).
In an EFD study in rats, sulopenem etzadroxil was administered to pregnant females in oral doses of 100, 400, and 2000 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from GD 6 to GD 17. Maternal body weights and food consumption were reduced in the 400 and 2000 mg/kg/day groups. No fetal malformations were observed at any sulopenem etzadroxil dose, but fetal body weights were reduced in the 2000 mg/kg/day group (approximately equal to 11 times the clinical sulopenem exposure for the MRHD of sulopenem etzadroxil based on plasma AUC comparison).
The doses at which no maternal toxicity or fetal toxicity occurred were, respectively, 100 mg/kg/day and 400 mg/kg/day (less than or equal to and approximately 2 times respectively the clinical sulopenem exposure for the MRHD of sulopenem etzadroxil based on plasma AUC comparison). In an EFD study in rabbits, sulopenem etzadroxil was administered intravenously to pregnant females in doses of 5, 15, and 50 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from GD 7 to GD 19. Maternal body weight gain and food consumption were decreased in all th…

Probenecid Available published data over several decades of probenecid use in pregnant woman have not identified a drug-associated risk of miscarriage, major birth defects, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Probenecid crosses the placental barrier and appears in cord blood. The estimated 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 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 Sulopenem etzadroxil: In an embryo-fetal development (EFD) study in mice, sulopenem etzadroxil was administered to pregnant females in oral doses of 100, 400, and 2000 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from GD 6 to GD 15.
Reduced fetal body weights and a fetal malformation, cleft palate, occurred with an increased fetal and litter incidence in the 2000 mg/kg/day group (approximately 23 times the clinical sulopenem exposure for the MRHD of sulopenem etzadroxil based on plasma AUC comparison). At the same dose, maternal clinical signs (rales, dyspnea, decreased motor activity) were observed, and maternal body weight gains were reduced. No maternal toxicity or fetal malformations occurred with doses ≤ 400 mg/kg/day (approximately 3 times the clinical sulopenem exposure for the MRHD of sulopenem etzadroxil based on plasma AUC comparison).
In an EFD study in rats, sulopenem etzadroxil was administered to pregnant females in oral doses of 100, 400, and 2000 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from GD 6 to GD 17. Maternal body weights and food consumption were reduced in the 400 and 2000 mg/kg/day groups. No fetal malformations were observed at any sulopenem etzadroxil dose, but fetal body weights were reduced in the 2000 mg/kg/day group (approximately equal to 11 times the clinical sulopenem exposure for the MRHD of sulopenem etzadroxil based on plasma AUC comparison).
The doses at which no maternal toxicity or fetal toxicity occurred were, respectively, 100 mg/kg/day and 400 mg/kg/day (less than or equal to and approximately 2 times respectively the clinical sulopenem exposure for the MRHD of sulopenem etzadroxil based on plasma AUC comparison). In an EFD study in rabbits, sulopenem etzadroxil was administered intravenously to pregnant females in doses of 5, 15, and 50 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from GD 7 to GD 19. Maternal body weight gain and food consumption were decreased in all the sulopenem etzadroxil dose gr…
🧒 Pediatric Use ▾
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of ORLYNVAH in pediatric patients have not been established. Juvenile Animal Toxicity Data In a toxicology study with juvenile rats, sulopenem etzadroxil was orally administered from postnatal day (PND) 5 to PND 90 (85 days of dosing) in doses of 25, 75, and 225 mg/kg/day. Juvenile rats exhibited kidney toxicity including tubular epithelial degeneration and tubule concretions at doses ≥ 25 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.3 times the clinical sulopenem exposure for the MRHD of sulopenem etzadroxil based on plasma AUC comparison).
🧓 Geriatric Use ▾
8.5Geriatric Use In uUTI Trial 1, there were 436 patients 65 years of age and older [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )]. Of the total number of ORLYNVAH-treated patients in this study, 224 (20.2%) were 65 years of age and older, while 80 (7.2%) were 75 years of age and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of ORLYNVAH were observed between patients 65 years and older and younger adult patients.
In uUTI Trial 2, there were 452 patients 65 years of age and older [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )]. Of the total number of ORLYNVAH-treated patients in this study, 218 (26.2%) were 65 years of age and older, while 86 (10.3%) were 75 years of age and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of ORLYNVAH were observed between patients 65 years and older and younger adult patients.
No clinically meaningful differences in the pharmacokinetics of ORLYNVAH were observed in geriatric patients compared to younger adult patients [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. No dosage adjustment based on age is required. ORLYNVAH is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and geriatric patients are anticipated to have reduced renal function.
Recommendations for use in elderly patients should be based on renal function [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )].
🆘 Overdosage ▾
10 OVERDOSAGE There is no information on clinical signs and symptoms associated with an overdose of ORLYNVAH. No clinical information is available on the use of hemodialysis to treat ORLYNVAH overdosage.
🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action ORLYNVAH is a combination of sulopenem etzadroxil, a penem antibacterial drug [see Microbiology 12.4 ] and probenecid, a renal tubular transport inhibitor. Probenecid inhibits OAT3-mediated renal clearance of sulopenem, resulting in increased plasma concentrations of sulopenem .
12.2Pharmacodynamics Similar to other beta-lactam antimicrobial drugs, the percentage of time that unbound plasma concentrations of sulopenem exceed the sulopenem minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against the infecting organism has been shown to best correlate with efficacy in in vitro models of infection. Cardiac Electrophysiology At a concentration of 40 times or greater than that achieved after a single oral administration of ORLYNVAH, sulopenem does not prolong the QTc interval to a clinically relevant extent.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Sulopenem etzadroxil is a prodrug [see Microbiology 12.4 ]. The pharmacokinetics of sulopenem and probenecid were characterized in healthy subjects following single oral administration of ORLYNVAH (500 mg sulopenem etzadroxil and 500 mg probenecid). Pharmacokinetic parameters are presented in Table 3 as mean [coefficient of variation (%CV)] unless otherwise specified.

💬 Information for Patients ▾
17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Allergic Reactions Advise patients that allergic reactions, including serious allergic reactions, could occur, and that serious allergic reactions require immediate treatment. Patients should inform their healthcare provider about any previous hypersensitivity reactions to ORLYNVAH, other beta-lactam antibacterial drugs or probenecid [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. Diarrhea Advise patients that diarrhea is a common problem caused by antibacterial drugs, including ORLYNVAH, and usually resolves when the drug is discontinued.
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, patients should contact their healthcare provider [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ) and Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )]. Antibacterial Resistance Patients should be counseled that ORLYNVAH should only be used to treat proven or strongly suspected susceptible uUTI.
Antibacterial drugs do not treat viral infections (e.g., the common cold). When ORLYNVAH is prescribed to treat proven or strongly suspected susceptible uUTI, patients should be told that although it is common to feel better early in the course of therapy, ORLYNVAH 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 ORLYNVAH or other antibacterial drugs in the future [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )].
Ketoprofen Advise patients that concomitant use of ketoprofen with ORLYNVAH is not recommended [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 )].
