🩺 Clinical
Amoxicillin is used to treat certain infections caused by bacteria, such as pneumonia, skin, and urinary tract infections eliminate H. pylori, a bacteria that causes ulcers in combination with other medications Amoxicillin is in a class of medications called penicillin-like antibiotics. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Antibiotics such as amoxicillin will not work for colds, flu, and other viral infections. Taking antibiotics when they are not needed increases your risk of getting an infection later that resists antibiotic treatment.

⏳ 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.

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. Adverse Reactions with VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK The safety of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK was evaluated in 675 adult patients (aged 20 to 82 years) in clinical trials in the United States, Europe and Japan and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK was evaluated in 348 adult patients (aged 20 to 80 years) in a clinical trial in the United States and Europe.
All the patients were screened and found to be positive for H. pylori infection. The safety of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK was evaluated in a randomized, controlled, double-blind triple therapy/open-label dual therapy study conducted in the United States and Europe in treatment-naïve H. pylori -positive adult patients. Patients were randomized 1:1:1 to vonoprazan 20 mg twice daily plus amoxicillin 1,000 mg twice daily plus clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily (VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK) or vonoprazan 20 mg twice daily plus amoxicillin 1,000 mg three times daily (VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK) or lansoprazole 30 mg twice daily plus amoxicillin 1,000 mg twice daily plus clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily (LAC) administered for 14 consecutive days.
A total of 346 patients received VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK in the study, 348 received VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK and 345 received LAC. These patients had a mean age of 51 years (range 20 to 87 years); 62.2% were female, 89.3% were White, 7.4% Black or African American, 1.5% were Asian and 1.8% were others with 72.5% non-Hispanic or Latino. Adverse Reactions Leading to Discontinuation Treatment discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 2.3% (8/346) of the VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK-treated patients, 0.9% (3/348) of the VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK-treated patients and 1.2% (4/345) of the LAC-treated patients.
The most common adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK were diarrhea (0.6%) and hypertension (0.6%) and the most common adverse reaction leading to discontinuation of VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK was rash (0.6%).

🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Collated drug interaction information for the individual components in VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK is summarized below. Drug interaction studies with VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK or VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK have not been conducted. These recommendations are based on either drug interaction trials or predicted interactions due to the expected magnitude of interaction and potential for serious adverse reactions or loss of efficacy [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .
Clarithromycin (a component of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK) is a strong CYP3A inhibitor. Concomitant use of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK with a drug(s) primarily metabolized by CYP3A may cause elevations in CYP3A substrate drug's concentrations that could increase or prolong both therapeutic and adverse effects of the concomitant drug. Table 4: Effects of Other Drugs on VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers Clinical Effect Vonoprazan and clarithromycin are CYP3A substrates.
Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers may decrease exposure of vonoprazan and clarithromycin [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may reduce the effectiveness of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK. Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use with VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK. Probenecid Clinical Effect Amoxicillin undergoes tubular secretion.
Probenecid may increase amoxicillin exposure by blocking its renal tubular secretion, which may increase the risk of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK adverse reactions. Prevention or Management Closely monitor for signs or symptoms of increased or prolonged adverse reactions associated with amoxicillin when used with VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK. Allopurinol Clinical Effect Increase in the incidence of rashes is reported in patients receiving both allopurinol and amoxicillin together compared to patients receiving amoxicillin alone.
It is not known whether this potentiation of amoxicillin rashes is due to allopurinol or the hyperuricemia present in these patients. Prevention or Management Discontinue allopurinol at the first appearance of skin rash when used concomitantly with VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK. Omeprazole Clinical Effect Clarithromycin concentrations in the gastric tissue and mucus were increased by concomitant administration of omeprazole [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .
Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK with omeprazole. Itraconazole Clinical Effect Both clarithromycin and itraconazole are substrates and inhibitors of CYP3A, potentially leading to a bi-directional drug interaction when administered concomitantly. VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK's use with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may lead to increases in clarithromycin exposure, which may increase the risk of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK adverse reactions.
Prevention or Management Patients taking itraconazole with VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK should be monitored closely for signs or symptoms of increased or prolonged adverse reactions associated with itraconazole and clarithromycin. Antivirals Clinical Effect Clarithromycin is a CYP3A4 substrate and inhibitor. Use of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK with antivirals that are CYP3A substrates, inducers, or CYP3A inhibitors may potentially lead to bi-directional drug interactions leading to alterations in exposure of clarithromycin and/or CYP3A substrates, which may increase the risk of adverse reactions or loss of effectiveness [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .
Prevention or Management Saquinavir (CYP3A substrate and inhibitor) Use VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK with caution. See saquinavir prescribing information for instructions when saquinavir (with or without ritonavir) is co-administered with clarithromycin. Ritonavir (CYP3A inhibitor) Use of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK with ritonavir is not recommended in patients with decreased renal function.
Etravirine (CYP3A inducer) Avoid concomitant use with VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK. Table 5: Effects of Other Drugs on VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers Clinical Effect Vonoprazan is a CYP3A substrate. Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers may…

( 8.5 ) Renal Impairment : Use is not recommended in severe renal impairment. ( 8.6 ) Hepatic Impairment : Use is not recommended in moderate and severe hepatic impairment. ( 8.7 )
8.1Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK or VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling 1-866-609-1612 or visiting https://voqueznapregnancyregistry.com/ . Risk Summary VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK Based on findings from animal studies and observational studies in pregnant women with use of clarithromycin, use of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK is not recommended in pregnant women except in clinical circumstances where no alternative therapy is appropriate.
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK in pregnant women to evaluate for drug-associated risks of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. If VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK is used during pregnancy, advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. No reproductive and developmental toxicity studies with the combination of vonoprazan, amoxicillin, and/or clarithromycin were conducted.
VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK in pregnant women to evaluate for drug-associated risks of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Individual Components of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK Clarithromycin: Published observational studies in pregnant women have demonstrated adverse effects on pregnancy outcomes, including an increased risk of miscarriage and in some studies an increased incidence of fetal malformations (see Data ) .
In animal reproduction studies, administration of oral clarithromycin to pregnant mice, rats, rabbits, and monkeys during the period of organogenesis produced malformations in rats (cardiovascular anomalies) and mice (cleft palate) at clinically relevant doses. Fetal effects in mice, rats, and monkeys (e.g., reduced fetal survival, body weight, body weight gain) and implantation losses in rabbits were generally considered to be secondary to maternal toxicity (see Data ) . Vonoprazan: Available data from pharmacovigilance reports with vonoprazan use in pregnant women are not sufficient to evaluate for a drug-associated risk for major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes.
In pregnant rats, no adverse effects were noted after oral administration of vonoprazan during organogenesis at approximately 27 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) based on AUC exposure comparisons. In a pre- and postnatal development (PPND) study, pups from dams orally administered vonoprazan during organogenesis and through lactation, exhibited liver discoloration, which in follow-up mechanistic animal studies was associated with necrosis, fibrosis, and hemorrhage at a dose approximately 22 times the MRHD based on AUC comparisons which were likely attributable to exposure during lactation [see Use in Specific Populations (8.2) ] .
These effects were not observed at the next lower dose in this study, which was approximately equal to the MRHD based on AUC comparison, however they were seen at clinically relevant exposures in dose range finding studies in rats (see Data ) . Amoxicillin: Available data from published epidemiologic studies and pharmacovigilance case reports over several decades with amoxicillin use have not established drug-associated risks of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Reproduction studies with amoxicillin have been performed in mice and rats (5 and 10 times the human dose 2 g human dose for mice and rats, respectively, 3 and 6 times the 3 g human dose for mice and…

8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK or VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK in pediatric patients have not been established.
🧓 Geriatric Use ▾
8.5Geriatric Use Geriatric Use for the Individual Components of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK Amoxicillin and Clarithromycin Amoxicillin and clarithromycin are known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of adverse reactions to these drugs may be greater in patients with impaired renal function and it may be useful to monitor renal function [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6) ]. Vonoprazan There were 218 patients aged 65 years and older in the clinical study of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK for the treatment of H. pylori infection [see Clinical Studies (14) ].
Of the total number of vonoprazan-treated subjects (N=694), there were 153 (22.0%) patients aged 65 years and older and 18 (2.6%) patients were aged 75 years and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger adult patients. Amoxicillin An analysis of clinical studies of amoxicillin was conducted to determine whether subjects aged 65 and over respond differently from younger subjects.
These analyses have not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but a greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. This drug is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, and it may be useful to monitor renal function.
Clarithromycin In a steady-state study in which healthy elderly subjects (65 years to 81 years of age) were given 500 mg of clarithromycin every 12 hours, the maximum serum concentrations and area under the curves of clarithromycin and 14-OH clarithromycin were increased compared to those achieved in healthy young adults. These changes in pharmacokinetics parallel known age-related decreases in renal function. In clinical trials, elderly patients did not have an increased incidence of adverse reactions when compared to younger patients.
Elderly patients may be more susceptible to development of torsades de pointes arrhythmias than younger patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. Most reports of acute kidney injury with calcium channel blockers metabolized by CYP3A4 (e.g., verapamil, amlodipine, diltiazem, nifedipine) involved elderly patients 65 years of age or older [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. Especially in elderly patients, there have been reports of colchicine toxicity with concomitant use of clarithromycin and colchicine, some of which occurred in patients with renal insufficiency.
Deaths have been reported in some patients [see Contraindications (4.2) and Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ].
🆘 Overdosage ▾
10 OVERDOSAGE No information is available on accidental overdosage of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK or VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK in humans. In case of an overdose, patients should contact a physician, poison control center, or emergency room. The available overdosage information for each of the individual components in VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK are summarized below: Vonoprazan There have been no reports of overdose with vonoprazan.
In clinical studies, a single dose of 120 mg resulted in no serious adverse reactions. Vonoprazan is not removed from the circulation by hemodialysis. If overdose occurs, treatment should be symptomatic and supportive.
Amoxicillin In case of amoxicillin overdosage, discontinue medication, treat symptomatically and institute supportive measures as needed. A prospective study of 51 pediatric patients at a poison-control center suggested that overdosages of less than 250 mg/kg of amoxicillin are not associated with significant clinical symptoms. Interstitial nephritis resulting in oliguric renal failure has been reported in a small number of patients after overdosage with amoxicillin.
Crystalluria, in some cases leading to renal failure, has also been reported after amoxicillin overdosage in adult and pediatric patients. In case of overdosage, adequate fluid intake and diuresis should be maintained to reduce the risk of amoxicillin crystalluria. Renal impairment appears to be reversible with cessation of drug administration.
High blood levels may occur more readily in patients with impaired renal function because of decreased renal clearance of amoxicillin. Amoxicillin can be removed from circulation by hemodialysis. Clarithromycin Overdosage of clarithromycin can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea.
Treat adverse reactions accompanying overdosage by the prompt elimination of unabsorbed drug and supportive measures. As with other macrolides, clarithromycin serum concentrations are not expected to be appreciably affected by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Vonoprazan suppresses basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion at the secretory surface of the gastric parietal cell through inhibition of the H + , K + -ATPase enzyme system in a potassium competitive manner. Because this enzyme is regarded as the acid (proton) pump within the parietal cell, vonoprazan has been characterized as a type of gastric proton-pump inhibitor, in that it blocks the final step of acid production. Vonoprazan does not require activation by acid.
Vonoprazan may selectively concentrate in the parietal cells in both the resting and stimulated states. Vonoprazan binds to the active proton pumps in a noncovalent and reversible manner. Amoxicillin is an antibacterial drug.
Clarithromycin is a macrolide antimicrobial drug [see Microbiology (12.4) ]. Acid suppression enhances the replication of H. pylori bacteria and the stability and effectiveness of antimicrobials in the treatment of H. pylori infection.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Vonoprazan Antisecretory Activity Following a single 20 mg dose of vonoprazan, the onset of the antisecretory effect as measured by intragastric pH occurs within 2 to 3 hours. The elevated intragastric pH compared to placebo is maintained for over 24-hours after dosing. The inhibitory effect of vonoprazan on acid secretion increases with repeated daily dosing and antisecretory effect reached steady state by Day 4 with a mean (SD) 24-hour intragastric pH of 6.0 (1.5) following 20 mg once daily dose (not an approved recommended dosage).
The antisecretory effect of vonoprazan decreases following drug discontinuation although intragastric pH remained elevated compared to placebo for 24 to 48 hours following the dose on Day 7. Cardiac Electrophysiology At a dose 6 times the maximum recommended dose, vonoprazan does not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent. Serum Gastrin Effects In clinical trials conducted in adult patients with erosive esophagitis, treatment with vonoprazan increased baseline serum gastrin concentrations.
Mean gastrin levels remained elevated with the recommended daily dose of vonoprazan for the treatment of erosive esophagitis and the mean serum gastrin levels returned to normal within 4 weeks of discontinuation of treatment. Increased gastrin causes enterochromaffin-like cell hyperplasia and increased serum CgA levels. The increased CgA levels may cause false positive results in diagnostic investigations for neuroendocrine tumors [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Drug Interactions (7) ].
12.3Pharmacokinetics Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters for vonoprazan 20 mg after a single dose (not an approved recommended dosage) and at steady state following twice daily administration are summarized in Table 8. Table 8: Mean (%CV) Pharmacokinetic Parameters for Vonoprazan Following a Single Dose or at Steady State Following Twice Daily Dosing PK Parameter Single Dose (N=10) Steady State (N=32) C max = Maximum plasma concentration; AUC 0-12h = Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to the end of the 12-hour dosing interval; T max = Time to reach C max ; t 1/2 = Elimination half-life, CL/F = Apparent oral clearance, V z /F = Apparent oral volume of distribution.
T max (h), median (range) 2.5 (1.0-4.0) 3.0 (1.0-6.0) C max (ng/mL) 25.2 (39.7) 37.8 (36.1) AUC 0-12h (ng*hr/mL) 154.8 (25.2) 272.5 (30.5) t 1/2 (h) 7.1 (10.1) 6.8 (22.7) CL/F (L/h) 97.3 (36.3) 81.3 (35.7) V z /F (L) 1001 (39.6) 782.7 (34.4) Vonoprazan Absorption Vonoprazan exhibits time independent pharmacokinetics and steady state concentrations are achieved by Day 3 to 4. After multiple doses of vonoprazan ranging from 10 mg (0.5 times the lowest approved recommended single dosage) to 40 mg (2 times the highest approved recommended single dosage) once daily for 7 days in healthy subjects, C max and AUC values for vonoprazan increased in an approximately dose-proportional manner.
