ORLYNVAH, a combination of sulopenem etzadroxil, a penem antibacterial, and probenecid, a renal tubular transport inhibitor, is indicated for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTI) caused by the designated microorganisms Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or Proteus mirabilis in adult women who have limited or no alternative oral antibacterial treatment options. ( 1.1 ) Limitations of Use ORLYNVAH is not indicated for the treatment of: Complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) or as step-down treatment after intravenous antibacterial treatment of cUTI. ( 1.1 , 14.2 ) Complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) or as step-down treatment after intravenous antibacterial treatment of cIAI. ( 1.1 , 14.3 ) Usage to Reduce Development of Drug-Resistant Bacteria To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of ORLYNVAH and other antibacterial drugs, ORLYNVAH should be used only to treat uUTI that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. Culture and susceptibility information should be utilized in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. ( 1.2 , 5.5 ) 1.1 Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections ORLYNVAH is indicated for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTI) caused by the designated microorganisms Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or Proteus mirabilis in adult women who have limited or no alternative oral antibacterial treatment options. Limitations of Use ORLYNVAH is not indicated for the treatment of: Complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) or as step-down treatment after intravenous antibacterial treatment of cUTI [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )]. Complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI)) or as step-down treatment after intravenous antibacterial treatment of cIAI [see Clinical Studies ( 14.3 )]. 1.2 Usage to Reduce Development of Drug-Resistant Bacteria To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of ORLYNVAH and other antibacterial drugs, ORLYNVAH should be used only to treat uUTI that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. Culture and susceptibility information should be utilized in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )].
5 days. ( 2.1 ) Administration of ORLYNVAH with food is recommended. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of ORLYNVAH is one tablet (sulopenem etzadroxil 500 mg and probenecid 500 mg) orally twice daily for 5 days. Administration of ORLYNVAH with food is recommended [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. 2.2 Recommended Dosage in Patients with Renal Impairment Administration of ORLYNVAH is not recommended in patients with creatinine clearance (CrCL) less than 15 mL/min or patients on hemodialysis. No dosage adjustment is required for ORLYNVAH in patients with CrCL greater than or equal to15 mL/min [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. 2.3 Recommendations Regarding Missed Dose(s) If a dose of ORLYNVAH is missed, instruct patients to take the dose as soon as possible. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed dose.

Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Clostridioides difficile -Associated Diarrhea [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Risk of Uric Acid Kidney Stone Development [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Exacerbation of Gout [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] The most common adverse reactions (≥2%) in patients treated with ORLYNVAH were diarrhea, nausea, vulvovaginal mycotic infection, headache, and vomiting.

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%). Table 1.

Other Adverse Reactions of ORLYNVAH The following selected adverse reactions were reported in the ORLYNVAH-treated patients at a rate of <1% in the uUTI Trial 1 and Trial 2: Cardiac disorders: tachycardia Ear and labyrinth disorders: vertigo Gastrointestinal disorders: abdominal distension, abnormal feces, constipation, dry mouth, dyspepsia, eructation, feces discolored, feces soft, flatulence, gastroesophageal reflux disease General disorders: asthenia , fatigue, malaise, peripheral edema, pain, pyrexia Hepatobiliary disorders: elevated transaminases, hepatomegaly Infections and infestations: bacterial vaginosis, Candida infection, candiduria Metabolism and nutrition disorders: polydipsia Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders: arthralgia, back pain, myositis Nervous system disorders: ageusia, dizziness, dysgeusia, dystonia, migraine, paresthesia, presyncope, somnolence, syncope Psychiatric disorders: confusion Renal and urinary disorders: urine odor abnormal Reproductive system and breast disorders: perineal pain, vaginal discharge, vulvovaginal pruritus Respiratory disorders: cough, dyspnea Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: angioedema, pruritus, rash Vascular disorders: flushing, hypertension Adverse Reactions Occurring with Probenecid (a component of ORLYNVAH) The following adverse reactions associated with the use of probenecid (a component of ORLYNVAH) were identified in clinical studies or postmarketing reports. Because some of these reactions were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Adverse reactions not observed in clinical studies of ORLYNVAH that have been observed with probenecid (a component of ORLYNVAH) include: Gastrointestinal disorders : hepatic necrosis, anorexia, sore gums Hematologic : aplastic anemia, leukopenia, and hemolytic anemia which in some patients could be related to genetic deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in red blood cells, anemia Immune system disorders: anaphylaxis, urticaria Metabolism and nutrition disorders: precipitation of acute gouty arthritis Renal and urinary disorders: nephrotic syndrome, uric acid stones with or without hematuria, renal colic, costovertebral pain, urinary frequency Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: alopecia
