Dovprela contains the active substance pretomanid, a type of antibiotic. Antibiotics are medicines used to kill bacteria that cause diseases.

Dovprela is used in combination with two other medicines called linezolid and bedaquiline to treat tuberculosis that affects the lungs, when the disease has become resistant to many other antibiotics:

• extensively drug resistant tuberculosis or
• treatment-intolerant or multidrug-resistant tuberculosis It is used in adults 18 years and over.

Do not take Dovprela

• if you are allergic to pretomanid, antibiotics of the group called nitroimidazoles, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)

Since pretomanid must be used in combination with other medicines against tuberculosis linezolid and bedaquiline please make sure that you read the Do not take section of the package leaflets for these medicines as well. If you are unsure of any information in the package leaflets, please contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before taking Dovprela if you:

• have reduced liver function

• drink alcohol on a regular basis

• have reduced kidney function

• have or have had disturbances of the heart rhythm, or if someone in your family has a heart rhythm problem

• have heart failure

• have or have had an underactive thyroid

• have reduced blood levels of calcium, magnesium or potassium

Liver damage There is a risk of liver damage when you are treated with Dovprela, linezolid and bedaquiline. Your doctor will therefore monitor you for signs of liver damage and take blood samples before the start of treatment and regularly during treatment. Tell your doctor if you experience symptoms such as:

• fatigue
• lack or loss of appetite
• nausea
• yellowing of the skin and eyes
• dark urine
• abdominal pain The doctor will adjust your treatment if your liver is affected.

Reduced number of blood cells Treatment with Dovprela, linezolid and bedaquiline can severely reduce the number of blood cells, such as blood platelets, red blood cells and white blood cells called neutrophils. Contact your doctor immediately about any signs of bruising, bleeding or infections. Your doctor will monitor complete blood counts before the start of treatment and regularly during treatment. The doctor will adjust your treatment if your blood cell count is reduced.

Nerve disorders in hands, feet or eyes Nerve disorders in hands, feet or eyes may occur during treatment. Contact your doctor if you have visual problems, or numbness, tingling or burning in your hands or feet during treatment. Your doctor will adjust your treatment in these cases. If visual problems occur contact a doctor for a prompt eye examination.

Increased blood level of lactic acid A disorder of blood over-acidification called lactic acidosis may occur during treatment. Contact your doctor if you have recurrent nausea or vomiting. Your doctor may adjust your treatment in these cases.

Heart problems A certain heartbeat abnormality known as QT prolongation may occur during treatment. Your doctor will therefore perform an ECG before the start of treatment and regularly during treatment. Your treatment will be adjusted if heartbeat abnormalities occur. In addition, potassium, calcium and magnesium levels will be monitored and corrected if abnormal.

The safety and efficacy of Dovprela has not been studied in combination with medicines other than linezolid and bedaquiline and therefore it should not be used as part of any other treatment combination.

Children and adolescents

This medicine is not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years. This is because it has not been studied in this age group.

Other medicines and Dovprela

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines, including herbal therapies. These may affect the way Dovprela works or increase the risk of side effects.

Avoid treatment with Dovprela and any of the following medicines at the same time. These may lower the effect of Dovprela so your treatment may not work; therefore, inform your doctor immediately about these:

• rifampicin, rifamycin, rifapentine, rifabutin: other medicines to treat tuberculosis or certain other infections
• efavirenz, etravirine: medicines to treat HIV infection
• carbamazepine, phenytoin: medicines to treat epilepsy and certain pain conditions
• St John s wort: a herbal medicine to treat depression and anxiety

You should also avoid the use of medicines that may have a damaging effect on your liver (other than bedaquiline and linezolid). Talk to you doctor who will be able to tell you which medicines this applies to.

Inform your doctor if you are using:

• methotrexate: a medicine to treat severe joint inflammation, cancer and the skin disease psoriasis
• benzylpenicillin, ciprofloxacin: medicines to treat bacterial infections
• indomethacin: a medicine to treat pain and inflammation
• ritonavir: a medicine to treat HIV infection

Dovprela with alcohol

Avoid drinking alcohol while being treated with Dovprela since this increases the risk of serious liver damage.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.

• Pregnancy Very limited knowledge exists about the use of Dovprela during pregnancy. Therefore, Dovprela is used during pregnancy only if the benefit to the patient outweighs the potential risk to the foetus. Your doctor will decide whether you should be treated with Dovprela.
• Breast-feeding It is not known if pretomanid is passed into human milk. Your doctor has to decide if you should discontinue breast-feeding or avoid treatment with Dovprela.

Driving and using machines

You may feel dizzy after taking Dovprela or you may experience problems with your vision. Do not drive or operate machinery if this happens.

Dovprela contains lactose and sodium

If you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicine. This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per tablet, that is to say essentially sodium- free .

Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

Dovprela is used in combination with linezolid and bedaquiline. Please also read the package leaflets from these medicines. If you have any questions ask your doctor or pharmacist.

The recommended dose is

• Dovprela: 1 tablet once daily
• linezolid: 600 mg daily
• bedaquiline: 400 mg once daily for 2 weeks, followed by 200 mg 3 times per week (with at least 48 hours between doses). For example you may take bedaquiline on Monday, Wednesday and Friday every week from week 3 onwards.

Method of use Take Dovprela at the same time as linezolid and bedaquiline. Swallow the tablets with a glass of water and take them with food. The tablets are taken under direct observation of a healthcare professional or in accordance with local practice.

Duration of use The duration of treatment with the combination Dovprela, linezolid and bedaquiline is 26 weeks. Your doctor may decide to expand this period or to interrupt dosing to ensure that the treatment is safe and effective for you.

If you take more Dovprela than you should

Contact your doctor straight away and take the medicine pack with you.

If you forget to take Dovprela

Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.

Any missed dose of pretomanid and bedaquiline is recommended to be made up at the end of treatment. Doses of linezolid missed due to linezolid adverse reactions are not recommended to be made up. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have missed a dose and you are not sure what to do.

If you stop taking Dovprela

Do not stop taking Dovprela or its combination medicines linezolid or bedaquiline without your doctor s permission. Skipping doses or not completing the full course of therapy may make treatment ineffective and your tuberculosis could get worse. In addition, this would increase the chance that bacteria become resistant to these medicines.

If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.
