2.1 General Dosing Recommendations Ropinirole extended-release tablets are taken once daily, with or without food [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Tablets must be swallowed whole and must not be chewed, crushed, or divided. If a significant interruption in therapy with ropinirole extended-release tablets has occurred, retitration of therapy may be warranted. 2.2 Dosing for Parkinson’s DiseaseThe starting dose is 2 mg taken once daily for 1 to 2 weeks, followed by increases of 2 mg/day at 1-week or longer intervals as appropriate, based on therapeutic response and tolerability. The maximum recommended dose of ropinirole extended-release tablets is 24 mg/day.
In clinical trials, dosage was initiated at 2 mg/day and gradually titrated based on individual patient therapeutic response and tolerability. Doses greater than 24 mg/day have not been studied in clinical trials. Patients should be assessed for therapeutic response and tolerability at a minimal interval of 1 week or longer after each dose increment. Monitor patients during dose titration because too rapid a rate of titration may lead to dose selection that may not provide additional benefit, but that may increase the risk of adverse reactions [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. Due to the flexible dosing design used in clinical trials, specific dose-response information could not be determined.
Ropinirole extended-release tablets should be discontinued gradually over a 7-day period.
Renal Impairment
2.3 Switching from Immediate-Release Ropinirole Tablets to Ropinirole Extended-Release Tablets
No dose adjustment is necessary in patients with moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance of 30 to 50 mL/min). The recommended initial dose of ropinirole extended-release tablets for patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis is 2 mg once daily. Further dose escalations should be based on tolerability and need for efficacy. The recommended maximum total daily dose is 18 mg/day in patients receiving regular dialysis. Supplemental doses after dialysis are not required. The use of ropinirole extended-release tablets in patients with severe renal impairment without regular dialysis has not been studied.Patients may be switched directly from immediate-release ropinirole tablets to ropinirole extended-release tablets. The initial dose of ropinirole extended-release tablets should most closely match the total daily dose of the immediate-release formulation of ropinirole tablets, as shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Conversion from Immediate-Release Ropinirole Tablets to Ropinirole Extended-Release Tablets Immediate-Release Ropinirole Tablets Ropinirole Extended-Release Tablets Total Daily Dose (mg) Total Daily Dose (mg) 0.75 to 2.25 2 3 to 4.5 4 6 6 7.5 to 9 8 12 12 15 16 18 18 21 20 24 24Following conversion to ropinirole extended-release tablets, the dose may be adjusted depending on therapeutic response and tolerability [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
2.4 Effect of Gastrointestinal Transit Time on Medication ReleaseRopinirole extended-release tablets are designed to release medication over a 24-hour period. If rapid gastrointestinal transit occurs, there may be risk of incomplete release of medication and medication residue being passed in the stool.

ULTIVA is for IV use only. Continuous infusions of ULTIVA should be administered only by an infusion device. The injection site should be close to the venous cannula and all IV tubing should be cleared at the time of discontinuation of infusion.
During General AnesthesiaULTIVA is not recommended as the sole agent in general anesthesia because loss of consciousness cannot be assured and because of a high incidence of apnea, muscle rigidity, and tachycardia. ULTIVA is synergistic with other anesthetics; therefore, clinicians may need to reduce doses of thiopental, propofol, isoflurane, and midazolam by up to 75% with the coadministration of ULTIVA. The administration of ULTIVA must be individualized based on the patient's response.
Table 10 summarizes the recommended doses in adult patients, predominately ASA physical status I, II, or III.

Table 11 summarizes the recommended doses in pediatric patients, predominantly ASA physical status I, II, or III. In pediatric patients, remifentanil was administered with nitrous oxide or nitrous oxide in combination with halothane, sevoflurane, or isoflurane.

Bolus Dose of
ULTIVA(mcg/kg) * An initial dose of 1 mcg/kg may be administered over 30 to 60 seconds. † The initial maintenance infusion regimen of Ultiva evaluated in full term pediatric patients from birth to 2 months of age undergoing pyloromyotomy was 0.4 mcg/kg/min, the approved adult regimen for use with N 2O. The clearance rate observed in neonates was highly variable and on average was two times higher than in the young healthy adult population. Therefore, while a starting infusion of 0.4 mcg/kg/min may be appropriate for some neonates, an increased infusion rate may be necessary to maintain adequate surgical anesthesia, and additional bolus doses may be required. The individual dose for each patient should be carefully titrated. The use of atropine may blunt the potential for bradycardia that can occur upon administration of Ultiva. (See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Special Populations: Pediatric Patients, and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, During Maintenance of Anesthesia). ‡ Boluses of 1 mcg/kg were studied in ASA 1 and 2, full-term patients weighing at least 2500 gm, undergoing pyloromyotomy who received pretreatment with atropine. Some neonates, particularly those receiving supplementation with potent inhalation agents or neuraxial anesthesia, those with significant co-morbidities or undergoing significant fluid shifts, or those who have not been pretreated with atropine, may require smaller bolus doses to avoid hypotension and/or bradycardia.*Maintenance of anesthesia in patients aged 1 to 12 years old with:

During Induction of AnesthesiaULTIVA should be administered at an infusion rate of 0.5 to 1 mcg/kg/min with a hypnotic or volatile agent for the induction of anesthesia. If endotracheal intubation is to occur less than 8 minutes after the start of the infusion of ULTIVA, then an initial dose of 1 mcg/kg may be administered over 30 to 60 seconds.
During Maintenance of AnesthesiaAfter endotracheal intubation, the infusion rate of ULTIVA should be decreased in accordance with the dosing guidelines in Tables 10 (adults) and 11 (pediatric patients). Due to the fast onset and short duration of action of ULTIVA, the rate of administration during anesthesia can be titrated upward in 25% to 100% increments in adult patients or up to 50% increments in pediatric patients, or downward in 25% to 50% decrements every 2 to 5 minutes to attain the desired level of µ-opioid effect. In response to light anesthesia or transient episodes of intense surgical stress, supplemental bolus doses of 1 mcg/kg may be administered every 2 to 5 minutes. At infusion rates >1 mcg/kg/min, increases in the concomitant anesthetic agents should be considered to increase the depth of anesthesia. See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Special Populations: Pediatric Patients, and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, Table 11 for additional information.
Continuation as an Analgesic into the Immediate Postoperative Period Under the Direct Supervision of an Anesthesia PractitionerInfusions of ULTIVA may be continued into the immediate postoperative period for select patients for whom later transition to longer acting analgesics may be desired. The use of bolus injections of ULTIVA to treat pain during the postoperative period is not recommended. When used as an IV analgesic in the immediate postoperative period, ULTIVA should be initially administered by continuous infusion at a rate of 0.1 mcg/kg/min. The infusion rate may be adjusted every 5 minutes in 0.025-mcg/kg/min increments to balance the patient's level of analgesia and respiratory rate. Infusion rates greater than 0.2 mcg/kg/min are associated with respiratory depression (respiratory rate less than 8 breaths/min).
Guidelines for DiscontinuationUpon discontinuation of ULTIVA, the IV tubing should be cleared to prevent the inadvertent administration of ULTIVA at a later time.
Due to the rapid offset of action of ULTIVA, no residual analgesic activity will be present within 5 to 10 minutes after discontinuation. For patients undergoing surgical procedures where postoperative pain is generally anticipated, alternative analgesics should be administered prior to discontinuation of ULTIVA. The choice of analgesic should be appropriate for the patient's surgical procedure and the level of follow-up care (see CLINICAL TRIALS).
Analgesic Component of Monitored Anesthesia CareIt is strongly recommended that supplemental oxygen be supplied to the patient whenever ULTIVA is administered.
Table 12 summarizes the recommended doses for monitored anesthesia care in adult patients, predominately ASA physical status I, II, or III. ULTIVA has not been studied for use in children in monitored anesthesia care.

0.2 mcg/kg/min)A single IV dose of 0.5 to 1 mcg/kg over 30 to 60 seconds of ULTIVA may be given 90 seconds before the placement of the local or regional anesthetic block (see PRECAUTIONS).
Continuous InfusionWhen used alone as an IV analgesic component of monitored anesthesia care, ULTIVA should be initially administered by continuous infusion at a rate of 0.1 mcg/kg/min beginning 5 minutes before placement of the local or regional anesthetic block. Because of the risk for hypoventilation, the infusion rate of ULTIVA should be decreased to 0.05 mcg/kg/min following placement of the block. Thereafter, rate adjustments of 0.025 mcg/kg/min at 5-minute intervals may be used to balance the patient's level of analgesia and respiratory rate. Rates greater than 0.2 mcg/kg/min are generally associated with respiratory depression (respiratory rates less than 8 breaths/min). Bolus doses of ULTIVA administered simultaneously with a continuous infusion of ULTIVA to spontaneously breathing patients are not recommended.
Individualization of Dosage Use in Geriatric PatientsThe starting doses of ULTIVA should be decreased by 50% in elderly patients (>65 years). ULTIVA should then be cautiously titrated to effect.
Use in Pediatric PatientsSee Table 11 for dosing recommendations for use of ULTIVA in pediatric patients from birth to 12 years of age for maintenance of anesthesia. See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Special Populations: Pediatric Patients, and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, Table 11 and During Maintenance of Anesthesia for additional information.
ULTIVA has not been studied in pediatric patients for use in the immediate postoperative period or for use as a component of monitored anesthesia care.
Use in Coronary Artery Bypass SurgeryTable 13 summarizes the recommended doses for induction, maintenance, and continuation as an analgesic into the ICU in adult patients, predominantly ASA physical status III or IV. To avoid hypotension during the induction phase, it is important to consider the concomitant medication regimens described in the CLINICAL TRIALS: Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery subsection.

Use in Obese PatientsThe starting doses of ULTIVA should be based on ideal body weight (IBW) in obese patients (greater than 30% over their IBW).
Preanesthetic MedicationThe need for premedication and the choice of anesthetic agents must be individualized. In clinical studies, patients who received ULTIVA frequently received a benzodiazepine premedication.
Preparation for AdministrationTo reconstitute solution, add 1 mL of diluent per mg of remifentanil. Shake well to dissolve. When reconstituted as directed, the solution contains approximately 1 mg of remifentanil activity per 1 mL. ULTIVA should be diluted to a recommended final concentration of 20, 25, 50, or 250 mcg/mL prior to administration (see Table 14). ULTIVA should not be administered without dilution.

2.1 Recommended Dose in Adults and Pediatric Patients 12 Years of Age and Older (35 kg or more)For the treatment of HIV-1 or chronic hepatitis B: The dose is one 300 mg VIREAD tablet once daily taken orally, without regard to food.
In the treatment of chronic hepatitis B, the optimal duration of treatment is unknown. Safety and efficacy in pediatric patients less than 12 years of age or weighing less than 35 kg have not been established.In the treatment of chronic hepatitis B, the optimal duration of treatment is unknown. Safety and efficacy in pediatric patients less than 12 years of age or weighing less than 35 kg have not been established.
2.2 Dose Adjustment for Renal Impairment in AdultsSignificantly increased drug exposures occurred when VIREAD was administered to subjects with moderate to severe renal impairment [See Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] . Therefore, the dosing interval of VIREAD should be adjusted in patients with baseline creatinine clearance below 50 mL/min using the recommendations in Table 1. These dosing interval recommendations are based on modeling of single-dose pharmacokinetic data in non-HIV and non-HBV infected subjects with varying degrees of renal impairment, including end-stage renal disease requiring hemodialysis. The safety and effectiveness of these dosing interval adjustment recommendations have not been clinically evaluated in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment; therefore clinical response to treatment and renal function should be closely monitored in these patients [See Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] .
No dose adjustment is necessary for patients with mild renal impairment (creatinine clearance 50–80 mL/min). Routine monitoring of estimated creatinine clearance, serum phosphorus, urine glucose, and urine protein should be performed in patients with mild renal impairment . No dose adjustment is necessary for patients with mild renal impairment (creatinine clearance 50–80 mL/min). Routine monitoring of estimated creatinine clearance, serum phosphorus, urine glucose, and urine protein should be performed in patients with mild renal impairment [See Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] .

2.1 General ConsiderationsPatients should be placed on an appropriate lipid-lowering diet before receiving Fenofibrate tablets for oral use, and should continue this diet during treatment with Fenofibrate tablets for oral use. Fenofibrate tablets for oral use can be given without regard to meals.
The initial treatment for dyslipidemia is dietary therapy specific for the type of lipoprotein abnormality. Excess body weight and excess alcoholic intake may be important factors in hypertriglyceridemia and should be addressed prior to any drug therapy. Physical exercise can be an important ancillary measure. Diseases contributory to hyperlipidemia, such as hypothyroidism or diabetes mellitus should be looked for and adequately treated. Estrogen therapy, thiazide diuretics and beta-blockers, are sometimes associated with massive rises in plasma triglycerides, especially in subjects with familial hypertriglyceridemia. In such cases, discontinuation of the specific etiologic agent may obviate the need for specific drug therapy of hypertriglyceridemia.
Lipid levels should be monitored periodically and consideration should be given to reducing the dosage of Fenofibrate tablets for oral use if lipid levels fall significantly below the targeted range.
Therapy should be withdrawn in patients who do not have an adequate response after two months of treatment with the maximum recommended dose of 145 mg once daily.
2.2 Primary Hypercholesterolemia or Mixed DyslipidemiaThe initial dose of Fenofibrate tablets for oral use is 145 mg once daily.
2.3 Severe HypertriglyceridemiaThe initial dose is 48 to 145 mg per day. Dosage should be individualized according to patient response, and should be adjusted if necessary following repeat lipid determinations at 4 to 8 week intervals. The maximum dose is 145 mg once daily.
2.4 Impaired Renal FunctionTreatment with Fenofibrate tablets for oral use should be initiated at a dose of 48 mg per day in patients having mild to moderately impaired renal function, and increased only after evaluation of the effects on renal function and lipid levels at this dose. The use of Fenofibrate tablets for oral use should be avoided in patients with severe renal impairment . [see Use in Specific Populations and Clinical Pharmacology ] (8.6)(12.3)
2.5 Geriatric PatientsDose selection for the elderly should be made on the basis of renal function . [see Use in Specific Populations ] (8.5)
