1. What is Daptomicina Fosun Pharma and what is it used for

The active substance of this medicine is daptomycin. Daptomycin is an antibacterial agent capable of stopping the growth of certain bacteria.

This medicine is used in adults and in children and adolescents (ages 1 to 17 years) to treat skin and soft tissue infections. It is also used to treat blood infections when associated with a skin infection.

This medicine is also used in adults to treat infections of the tissues that line the inside of the heart (including heart valves), caused by a type of bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus. It is also used to treat blood infections caused by the same type of bacteria when associated with a heart infection.

Depending on the type of infection(s) you have, your doctor may also prescribe other antibacterial agents while you are receiving treatment with this medicine.

2. What you need to know before you are given Daptomicina Fosun Pharma

• If you are allergic to daptomycin or sodium hydroxide or any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6).

If this is the case, inform your doctor or nurse. If you think you may be allergic, consult your doctor or nurse.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or nurse before you start receiving Daptomicina Fosun Pharma:

• If you have or have had kidney problems in the past. Your doctor may need to change the dose of this medicine (see section 3 of this leaflet).
• Occasionally, patients receiving this medicine may develop increased sensitivity, muscle pain, or weakness (see section 4 of this leaflet for more information). Inform your doctor if this happens. Your doctor will ensure that you have a blood test and advise whether it is recommended to continue using this medicine. The symptoms usually disappear within a few days after stopping treatment with this medicine.
• If you have ever had a severe skin rash or skin peeling, blisters, and/or sores in the mouth after taking daptomycin, or severe kidney problems.
• If you are significantly overweight, there is a possibility that your blood levels of this medicine may be higher than those found in people of average weight, and you may need stricter control in case of side effects.
• If you develop a superinfection during treatment, as the use of antibacterial agents may promote the overgrowth of non-susceptible microorganisms. In this case, appropriate measures should be taken.

If any of the above cases apply to you, inform your doctor or nurse before receiving this medicine.

Tell your doctor or nurse immediately if you develop any of the following symptoms:

• Severe and serious allergic reactions have been observed in patients treated with almost all antibacterial agents, including daptomycin. Inform your doctor or nurse of any symptoms that suggest an allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, neck, and throat, skin rash, and hives, or fever (see section 4 of this leaflet for more information).
• Severe skin diseases have been reported with the use of daptomycin. The symptoms that occur with these skin diseases may include:
• 1. - onset of fever or worsening of fever,

• red spots on the skin, raised or filled with fluid, which can start in the armpits or areas of the chest or groin and can spread over a large area of the body,
• blisters or sores in the mouth or genitals.
  • Severe kidney problems have been reported with the use of daptomycin. The symptoms may include fever and rash.
  • Any type of tingling or numbness in the hands or feet, loss of sensitivity, or unusual movement difficulties. If this occurs, inform your doctor, who will decide whether to continue treatment.
  • Diarrhea, mainly if you notice the presence of blood or mucus in stool or if diarrhea becomes severe or prolonged.
  • Onset of fever or worsening of fever, cough, or difficulty breathing. These may be signs of a rare but serious lung condition called eosinophilic pneumonia. Your doctor will check the condition of your lungs and decide whether to continue treatment with daptomycin.

Daptomycin may interfere with laboratory tests that measure the blood's ability to clot. The results may appear to suggest poor clotting, even if there is no problem. Therefore, it is essential that your doctor is aware that you are receiving daptomycin. Inform your doctor that you are being treated with daptomycin.

Your doctor will perform blood tests to monitor the health of your muscles before you start treatment and frequently during treatment with daptomycin.

Children and adolescents

Daptomycin should not be administered to children under one year of age, as animal studies have shown that this age group may experience severe side effects.

Use in elderly patients

Patients over 65 years of age may receive the same dose as other adults, provided their kidneys are functioning correctly.

Other medicines and Daptomicina Fosun Pharma

Tell your doctor or nurse if you aretaking,haverecentlytakenor might take any other medicines.It is particularly important that you mention the following:

• Medicines called statins or fibrates (to lower cholesterol) or cyclosporin (a medicine used in transplants to prevent organ rejection or for other conditions, e.g., rheumatoid arthritis or atopic dermatitis). It is possible that the risk of muscle side effects may increase if you take any of these medicines (and others that may affect muscles) during treatment with daptomycin. Your doctor may decide not to administer daptomycin or temporarily interrupt treatment with the other medicine.
• Pain-relieving medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or COX-2 inhibitors (e.g., celecoxib). These may interfere with the elimination of daptomycin by the kidneys.

Important: Please consult the Summary of Product Characteristics or Package Leaflet before prescribing.

Instructions for Use and Handling for the 350 mg Presentation:

In adults, daptomycin can be administered intravenously as an infusion over 30 minutes or as an injection over 2 minutes. Unlike adults, daptomycin should not be administered to pediatric patients as an injection over 2 minutes. Pediatric patients from 7 to 17 years of age should receive daptomycin by infusion over 30 minutes. Pediatric patients under 7 years of age who receive doses of 9-12 mg/kg should be administered daptomycin by infusion over 60 minutes. Preparation of the infusion solution requires an additional dilution phase, as described below.

Daptomycin Fosun Pharma Administered as Intravenous Infusion over 30 or 60 Minutes

The concentration of 50 mg/ml of Daptomycin Fosun Pharma 350 mg Powder for Infusion is obtained by reconstituting the lyophilized product with 7 ml of a 9 mg/ml (0.9%) sodium chloride injection solution.

The lyophilized product takes approximately 15 minutes to dissolve. The completely reconstituted product has a transparent appearance and may present some small bubbles or foam around the edge of the vial.

To Prepare Daptomycin Fosun Pharma for Intravenous Infusion, Follow these Instructions:

To Reconstitute or Dilute Daptomycin Fosun Pharma Lyophilized Product, a Sterile Technique should be Used Throughout the Process.

For Reconstitution:

1. The polypropylene "flip-off" closure cap should be removed to expose the central part of the rubber stopper. Clean the top of the rubber stopper with a cotton swab moistened with alcohol or another antiseptic solution and let it dry. After cleaning, do not touch the rubber stopper or allow it to come into contact with any other surface. Withdraw 7 ml of a 9 mg/ml (0.9%) sodium chloride injection solution into a syringe using a sterile transfer needle with a diameter of 21 gauge or less, or a needleless device, and slowly inject it through the center of the rubber stopper into the vial, aiming the needle towards the vial wall.
2. The vial should be gently rotated to ensure that the product is completely moistened, and then left to stand for 10 minutes.
3. Finally, the vial should be gently rotated/agitated for a few minutes until a transparent reconstituted solution is obtained. Avoid vigorous agitation to prevent foam formation.
4. The reconstituted solution should be carefully inspected before use to ensure that the substance is dissolved and to verify the absence of suspended particles. The color of the reconstituted solution of Daptomycin Fosun Pharma may vary from pale yellow to light brown.
5. The reconstituted solution should then be diluted with 9 mg/ml (0.9%) sodium chloride (typical volume of 50 ml).

For Dilution:

1. Slowly withdraw the appropriate reconstituted liquid (50 mg daptomycin/ml) from the vial using a new sterile needle with a diameter of 21 gauge or less, inverting the vial so that the solution falls towards the stopper. Using a syringe, insert the needle into the inverted vial. Keeping the vial inverted, place the tip of the needle at the lowest point of the liquid while withdrawing the solution into the syringe. Before removing the needle from the vial, pull the plunger back to the end of the syringe cylinder to withdraw the required solution from the inverted vial.
2. Expel air, large bubbles, and any excess solution to obtain the required dose.
3. Transfer the required reconstituted dose to 50 ml of 9 mg/ml (0.9%) sodium chloride.
4. The reconstituted and diluted solution should be infused intravenously over 30 or 60 minutes as described in Section 4.2 of the Summary of Product Characteristics.

The following medicinal products have been shown to be compatible when added to infusion solutions containing Daptomycin Fosun Pharma: aztreonam, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, gentamicin, fluconazole, levofloxacin, dopamine, heparin, and lidocaine.

After Reconstitution: The chemical and physical stability during use of the reconstituted solution has been demonstrated for 12 hours at 25°C and up to a maximum of 48 hours at 2°C – 8°C.

The stability of the diluted solution in infusion bags has been established for 12 hours at 25°C or 24 hours if refrigerated at 2°C – 8°C.
