How to take it

These directions are for this exact strength and form. Another one is different.

• Injectable testosterone products may have different doses, strengths, or administration instructions and they are not substitutable on a milligram-per-milligram basis. Administer AZMIRO by deep gluteal intramuscular injection only ( 2.1 ).
• Prior to initiating AZMIRO, confirm the diagnosis of hypogonadism by ensuring that serum testosterone concentrations have been measured in the morning on at least two separate days and that these serum concentrations are below the normal range ( 2.2 ).
• Recommended dosage is 50 mg to 400 mg administered every two to four weeks as a deep intramuscular injection in the gluteal muscle. Individualize the dose and schedule based on the patient’s age, diagnosis, response to treatment, and the appearance of adverse reactions ( 2.3 ).
• The prefilled syringe should be administered as an intramuscular injection by a healthcare professional only. 2.1 Important Dosage Information
• Injectable testosterone products may have different doses, strengths, or administration instructions and they are not substitutable on a milligram-per-milligram basis.
• Administer AZMIRO by deep gluteal intramuscular injection only. 2.2 Confirmation of Hypogonadism before Initiation of AZMIRO Prior to initiating AZMIRO, confirm the diagnosis of hypogonadism by ensuring that serum testosterone concentrations have been measured in the morning on at least two separate days and that these serum testosterone concentrations are below the normal range. 2.3 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of AZMIRO is 50 mg to 400 mg administered every two to four weeks as a deep intramuscular injection in the gluteal muscle. Individualize the dose and schedule of AZMIRO based on the patient’s age, diagnosis, response to treatment, and the appearance of adverse reactions. 2.4 Administration Instructions for AZMIRO Single-dose Vial
• Visually inspect parenteral drug products for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.
• Discard any unused portions of drug remaining in the single-dose vial. 2.5 Important Administration Information and Administration Instructions for AZMIRO Prefilled Syringe Important Administration Information
• The prefilled syringe should be administered as an intramuscular injection by a healthcare professional only.
• The prefilled syringe should only be used to administer doses of 200 mg. For administration of doses other than 200 mg, use the AZMIRO single-dose vial.
• AZMIRO 200 mg/mL is supplied as single-dose prefilled syringe with luer lock connector.
• The prefilled syringe carton does not contain a needle. Obtain suitable needle separately.
• Do not use if the packaging appears to be damaged.
• Do not use the prefilled syringe if it appears to be damaged or the syringe cap is detached from the Luer lock. Administration Instructions Hold the syringe upright while gripping the ribbed part of the luer lock. Then with the other hand unscrew the syringe cap in a counter-clockwise direction (Figure A). Once the syringe cap is removed,
• avoid any hand contact with the tip of the glass syringe, to maintain the sterility.
• Screw the needle onto the luer lock end of the syringe in a clockwise direction until it is firmly attached (Figure B).

Use in children

• Improper use may result in acceleration of bone age and premature closure of epiphyses.
• The effect on bone maturation should be monitored by assessing bone age of the wrist and hand every 6 months.
• In children, androgen treatment may accelerate bone maturation without producing compensatory gain in linear growth.
• This adverse effect may result in compromised adult stature.
• The younger the child the greater the risk of compromising final mature height.
• Precocious puberty has also been reported with use of testosterone.
• The safety and effectiveness of AZMIRO have not been established in pediatric patients young than 12 years of age.

To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Azurity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1-800-461-7449 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trial 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. The safety of AZMIRO was evaluated, in Study 1, a randomized, single-dose, open-label study conducted in 27 adult males with hypogonadism. Patients were 18 to 65 years of age with a body mass index of 18 to 35 kg/m 2 . Patients received a single intramuscular dose AZMIRO 200 mg or comparator intramuscular testosterone replacement therapy product and were observed for adverse reactions and injection site reactions over 31 days. The most common adverse reactions in patients who received AZMIRO were injection site erythema (26%) and injection site reaction (4%). All cases of injection site erythema and injection site reaction were categorized as mild based on a pre-defined injection site assessment scale that defined injection site reactions as mild if they were slight or barely perceptible. Cardiovascular Outcomes TRAVERSE was a randomized, double-blind, cardiovascular outcomes study to assess the cardiovascular (CV) safety of topical testosterone gel compared to placebo in 5198 hypogonadal men aged 45 to 80 years with a history of CV disease or with multiple CV risk factors. The primary outcome was the incidence of the composite endpoint of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), consisting of CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), and non-fatal stroke The mean duration of therapy was approximately 22 months. The mean duration of follow-up was 33 months. Approximately 61% of all patients discontinued topical testosterone gel or placebo therapy. The mean patient age (±SD) was 63.3 (7.9) years, with 2452 patients aged 65 years or more (47%); 2847 (about 55%) patients had pre-existing cardiovascular disease, whereas 2357 patients (about 45%) had an elevated cardiovascular risk at baseline, and mean BMI was 35 kg/m 2 . Approximately 80% of patients were White, 17% were Black, and 3% were of other races or ethnic groups. Approximately 69%, 84%, and 93% had diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension, respectively. The mean serum testosterone concentration at baseline in patients receiving topical testosterone gel was 220.4 ng/dL (n=2596). The mean serum testosterone concentrations at 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, and 48 months in patients receiving topical testosterone gel were 440.5 ng/dL (n=1683), 420.9 ng/dl (n=1125), 428.7 ng/dL (n=731), and 365.2 ng/dL (n=220), respectively. For patients treated with topical testosterone gel, the incidence of MACE was 7.0% (n=182 events) and for those receiving placebo, the incidence of MACE was 7.3% (n=190 events). The study demonstrated non-inferiority of topical testosterone gel versus placebo because the upper bound of 95% CI was less than the pre-specified risk margin, of 1.5 for MACE (Hazard Ratio 0.96 [95% CI:
• 0.78, 1.17]). Additional Adverse Reactions Reported in TRAVERSE Additional adverse reactions reported in TRAVERSE at an incidence rate >2% in either treatment group and greater in topical testosterone gel versus placebo included:
• nonfatal arrythmias warranting intervention (5.2% vs 3.3%), atrial fibrillation (3.5% vs 2.4%), acute kidney injury (2.3% vs 1.5%) and bone fracture (3.5% vs 2.5%). For the adverse reaction of bone fracture, each event was adjudicated by clinical review. 6.2 Other Adverse Reactions The following adverse reactions associated with the use of testosterone 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. Administration site reactions :
• Inflammation and pain at the site of intramuscular injection. Allergic :
• Hypersensitivity, including skin manifestations and anaphylactoid reactions. Cardiovascular disorders :
• myocardial infarction, stroke. Endocrine and urogenital :
• Gynecomastia, premature closure of bony epiphyses with termination of growth, precocious puberty. Fluid and electrolyte disturbances :
• Retention of sodium, chloride, water, potassium, calcium, and inorganic phosphates. Gastrointestinal:
• Nausea, cholestatic jaundice, alterations in liver function tests, rarely hepatocellular neoplasms and peliosis hepatis. Hematologic :
• Suppression of clotting factors II, V, VII, and X, bleeding in patients on concomitant anticoagulant therapy, and polycythemia. Nervous system :
• Increased or decreased libido, headache, anxiety, depression, and generalized paresthesia. Reproductive system :
• Excessive frequency and duration of penile erections, oligospermia, and priapism Vascular disorders :
• Venous thromboembolism. Skin and appendages :
• Male pattern baldness, seborrhea, and acne. Special senses :
• Rare cases of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR).

What to discuss with your doctor

• Polycythemia Advise patients that AZMIRO can cause an increase in hematocrit levels that may increase the risk of thromboembolic events.
• Advise patients about the importance of completing laboratory testing as instructed by their health care provider while on AZMIRO [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) ].
• Venous Thromboembolism Advise patients that AZMIRO can cause venous thromboembolism.
• Advise patients of the signs and symptoms of venous thromboembolism, which may include the following:
• lower limb pain, edema, or erythema; and dyspnea or chest pain.
• Advise patients to promptly report the signs and symptoms of venous thromboembolism, discontinue use of AZMIRO, and seek urgent medical care.
• Increase in Blood Pressure Advise patients that AZMIRO can increase BP which can increase cardiovascular risk over time.
• Instruct patients about the importance of monitoring BP periodically while on AZMIRO.
• If BP increases while on AZMIRO, antihypertensive medications may need to be started, added, or adjusted to control BP, or AZMIRO may need to be discontinued.
• Worsening of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and Potential Risk of Prostate Cancer Advise patients that AZMIRO can cause increased symptoms of BPH and can increase the risk for prostate cancer.
• Advise patients to contact their health care provider if they have any prostate-related symptoms [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 ) ].
• Edema Advise patients with preexisting cardiac, renal, or hepatic disease that AZMIRO can cause edema.
• Advise patients to notify their health care provider if edema develops or worsens [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.9 ) ].
• Sleep Apnea Advise patients that AZMIRO can worsen sleep apnea especially in patients with risk factors such as obesity or chronic lung diseases [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.10 ) ].
• Gynecomastia Advise patients that AZMIRO can cause gynecomastia [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.11 ) ].
