FDA boxed warningSerious or fatal respiratory failure

TERLIVAZ may cause serious or fatal respiratory failure. Patients with volume overload or with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) Grade 3 are at increased risk. Assess oxygenation saturation (e.g., SpO 2 ) before initiating TERLIVAZ.

Do not initiate TERLIVAZ in patients experiencing hypoxia (e.g., SpO 2 <90%) until oxygenation levels improve. Monitor patients for hypoxia using continuous pulse oximetry during treatment and discontinue TERLIVAZ if SpO 2 decreases below 90%.

About Terlivaz

Overview

Terlivaz contains terlipressin, a vasopressin receptor agonist. It is used to improve kidney function in adults with hepatorenal syndrome whose kidney function is rapidly worsening. It is thought to improve blood flow to the kidneys by reducing pressure and circulation in the portal blood vessels and increasing blood pressure in the arteries. Patients with a serum creatinine level above 5 mg/dL are unlikely to benefit.

What it treats

Hepatorenal syndrome with a rapid decline in kidney function in adults, to improve kidney function. Patients with serum creatinine above 5 mg/dL are unlikely to benefit.

Safety information

Side effects

Common side effects include abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, shortness of breath and respiratory failure. Respiratory failure is common but serious and can be fatal. Seek immediate medical attention for breathing problems. Terlivaz can also narrow blood vessels and reduce blood flow to the heart, limbs or intestines. These serious effects require prompt medical assessment and may require treatment to be interrupted or stopped. Terlivaz-related adverse reactions may make someone on a liver transplant waiting list ineligible for transplantation. Terlivaz may also harm an unborn baby; contact your doctor if you are pregnant or become pregnant during treatment.

When to call your doctor

• Seek medical attention immediately if you develop trouble breathing or your breathing gets worse.

If symptoms are severe or getting worse quickly, seek emergency care rather than waiting.

Before taking this medicine

Terlivaz must not be used in people with low blood oxygen, worsening breathing symptoms, or an ongoing lack of blood flow to the heart, limbs or intestines. Terlivaz can cause serious or fatal respiratory failure. Blood oxygen levels and breathing must be monitored during treatment. Excess fluid in the bloodstream requires active management, and treatment may need adjustment. Terlivaz narrows blood vessels and can reduce blood flow to the heart, limbs or intestines, which may require treatment to be paused or stopped. Side effects may also make someone on a liver transplant waiting list ineligible for transplantation. Terlivaz may harm an unborn baby if used during pregnancy. People who could become pregnant should be informed of this risk.
