1. What Fingolimod HEC Pharm is and what it is used for

What isFingolimod

The active substance of this medicine is fingolimod.

WhatFingolimodis used for

This medicine is used in adults and in children and adolescents (from 10 years of age and weighing over 40 kg) to treat relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) (a disease that causes attacks or flare-ups), particularly in:

• Patient who do not respond to treatment despite receiving treatment for MS.

or

• Patient who quickly develop severe MS.

This medicine does not cure MS, but it helps reduce the number of attacks and slows down the progression of physical disabilities caused by MS.

What is multiple sclerosis

MS is a chronic disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord. In MS, inflammation destroys the protective covering (called myelin) that surrounds the nerves in the CNS, preventing the nerves from functioning properly. This process is called demyelination.

Relapsing-remitting MS is characterized by repeated attacks (flare-ups) of neurological symptoms that reflect the inflammation occurring in the CNS. Symptoms vary from one patient to another, but they usually include difficulty walking, loss of sensation in some parts of the body (numbness), vision problems, or balance disorders. The symptoms of a flare-up may disappear completely when the flare-up is over, but some problems may persist.

HowFingolimodworks

This medicine helps combat the attacks of the immune system on the CNS by reducing the ability of certain white blood cells (lymphocytes) to move freely within the body and preventing them from reaching the brain and spinal cord. This limits the nerve damage attributed to multiple sclerosis. Fingolimod also reduces some of the immune responses of your body.

2. What you need to know before starting to take Fingolimod HEC Pharm

Do not take Fingolimod HEC Pharm

• Ifyou have a weakened immune system(due to an immunodeficiency syndrome, a disease, or medications that suppress the immune system).
• if you have a severe active infection or chronic active infectionsuch as hepatitis or tuberculosis.
• if you have active cancer.
• if you have severe liver problems.
• If, in the last 6 months, you have had a heart attack, chest pain, stroke, or stroke warning, or any type of heart failure.
• if you have any type of irregular or abnormal heartbeat(arrhythmia), including patients in whom the electrocardiogram (ECG) shows a prolonged QT interval before starting treatment with fingolimod.
• If you are taking or have recently taken medications for an irregular heartbeat(of the heart) such as quinidine, disopyramide, amiodarone, or sotalol.
• if you are pregnant or if you are a woman of childbearing age and do not use an effective contraceptive method.
• If you are allergicto fingolimod or to any of the other components of this medication (included in section 6).

If any of the above cases apply to you, tell your doctor without takingfingolimod.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor before starting to take fingolimod:

• If you have severe respiratory problems when you sleep (severe sleep apnea).

• If you have been told that you have an abnormal electrocardiogram.
• If you have symptoms of a slow heart rate (e.g., dizziness, nausea, or palpitations).
• If you are taking or have recently taken medications that slow your heart rate(such as beta-blockers, verapamil, diltiazem, or ivabradine, digoxin, anticholinesterase agents, or pilocarpine).
• If you have a history of sudden loss of consciousness or fainting (syncope).
• If you plan to get vaccinated.
• If you have never had chickenpox.
• If you have or have had disordersor other signs of inflammation in the central vision area (the macula) of the eye (a condition known as macular edema, see below) or an inflammation or infection of the eye (uveitis) or if you havediabetes (which can cause eye problems).
• If you have liver problems.
• if you have high blood pressure that cannot be controlled with medication.
• if you have severe lung problemsor "smoker's cough."

If any of the above cases apply to you, tell your doctor before takingfingolimod.

Slow heart rate (bradycardia) and irregular heartbeats

At the start of treatment or after taking the first dose of 0.5 mg, in the case that you have changed the previous dose of 0.25 mg once a day, fingolimod produces a decrease in heart rate. As a result, you may feel dizzy or tired, be aware of your heartbeat, or your blood pressure may drop. If these effects are pronounced, tellyour doctor as you may need immediate treatment.Fingolimod can also make your heartbeats become irregular, especially after the first dose. Irregular heartbeats usually normalize in less than a day. The slow heart rate usually normalizes within a month.

Your doctor will ask you to stay in the office or hospital for at least 6 hours, with pulse and blood pressure checks every hour, after taking the first dose of fingolimod or after taking the first dose of 0.5 mg, in the case that you have changed the previous dose of 0.25 mg once a day, so that appropriate measures can be taken in case of adverse effects that appear at the start of treatment. You will need to have an electrocardiogram before the first dose of fingolimod and after the 6-hour monitoring period. Your doctor may continuously monitor your electrocardiogram during this time. If after the 6-hour period you have a very slow or decreasing heart rate, or if your electrocardiogram shows anomalies, you will need to be monitored for a longer period (at least 2 hours more and possibly overnight, until this is resolved). The same may apply if you are resuming fingolimod after a pause in treatment, depending on both the duration of the pause and how long you were taking fingolimod before the pause.

If you have, or are at risk of having, irregular or abnormal heartbeats, if your electrocardiogram is abnormal, or if you have heart disease or heart failure, fingolimod may not be suitable for you.

If you have suffered from sudden fainting in the past or a decrease in heart rate, fingolimod may not be suitable for you. You will be evaluated by a cardiologist (heart specialist) who will advise you on how to start treatment with fingolimod, including nighttime monitoring.

If you are taking other medications that can slow your heart rate, fingolimod may not be suitable for you. You need to be evaluated by a cardiologist, who will assess whether you can switch to alternative medications that do not decrease heart rate to allow treatment with fingolimod. If the aforementioned change is impossible, the cardiologist will advise you on how to start treatment with fingolimod, including nighttime monitoring.

If you have never had chickenpox

If you have not had chickenpox, your doctor will check your immunity to the virus that causes it (varicella-zoster virus). If you are not protected against the virus, you will likely need to be vaccinated before starting treatment with fingolimod. If so, your doctor will delay the start of treatment with fingolimod for one month after completing the vaccination cycle.

Infections

Fingolimod reduces the number of white blood cells in your blood (especially the number of lymphocytes). White blood cells fight infections. During treatment with fingolimod (and up to two months after stopping treatment), you may be more likely to get infections. You may even have a worsening of an infection you already have. Infections can be serious and potentially life-threatening. If you think you have an infection, have a fever, have flu-like symptoms, have herpes (shingles), or have a headache accompanied by stiffness in the neck, sensitivity to light, nausea, rash, and/or confusion or seizures (which can be symptoms of meningitis and/or encephalitis caused by a fungal or herpes virus infection), contact your doctor immediately because it can be serious and life-threatening. If you think your MS is getting worse (e.g., weakness or vision changes) or if you notice any new symptoms, tell your doctor immediately, as they may be symptoms of a rare brain disorder caused by an infection called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). PML is a serious disease that can cause severe disability or death. Your doctor will assess the need for an MRI scan to evaluate your condition and decide if you need to stop taking fingolimod.

It has been reported that patients treated with fingolimod have developed human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, including papillomas, dysplasia, warts, and HPV-associated cancer. Your doctor will assess whether you need to be vaccinated against HPV before starting treatment. If you are a woman, your doctor will also recommend that you have HPV screenings.

Macular edema

Before starting treatment with fingolimod, your doctor may request an eye examination if you have or have had visual disorders or other signs of inflammation in the central vision area (the macula) of the eye, an inflammation or infection of the eye (uveitis), or diabetes.

After starting treatment with fingolimod, your doctor may request an eye examination after 3 or 4 months of treatment.

The macula is a small area of the retina located at the back of the eye that allows you to see shapes, colors, and details clearly and sharply. Fingolimod can cause inflammation of the macula, and this condition is known as macular edema. Inflammation usually occurs within the first four months of treatment with fingolimod.

If you have diabetesor have had an eye inflammation known as uveitis, you are more likely to develop macular edema. In these cases, your doctor will want you to have regular eye checks to detect macular edema.

If you have had macular edema, consult your doctor before continuing treatment with fingolimod.

Macular edema can cause the same visual symptoms as those produced in an MS attack (optic neuritis). At first, you may not have symptoms. You should tell your doctor about any changes you notice in your vision. Your doctor may want to perform an eye examination, especially if:

• The center of your field of vision becomes blurry or has shadows;
• A blind spot appears in the center of your field of vision;
• You have problems seeing colors or small details.

Liver function tests

If you have severe liver problems, you should not take fingolimod. Fingolimod can affect liver function. You may not notice any symptoms, but if you notice a yellowish tint to your skin or the white part of your eyes, unusually dark urine (brown color), pain in your right side of the stomach (abdomen), fatigue, loss of appetite, or nausea and vomiting without apparent cause, tell your doctor immediately.

If you have any of these symptoms after starting treatment with fingolimod, tellyour doctor immediately.

Before, during, and after treatment, your doctor will request blood tests to check your liver function. You may need to stop treatment if the results of your tests indicate a problem with your liver.

High blood pressure

Since fingolimod can cause a slight increase in blood pressure, your doctor will want you to have your blood pressure checked regularly.

Lung problems

Fingolimod has a mild effect on lung function. Patients with severe lung problems or "smoker's cough" are more likely to develop adverse effects.

Blood count

The expected effect of treatment with fingolimod is to reduce the number of white blood cells in your blood. This effect usually normalizes within two months after stopping treatment. If you need to have blood tests, tell your doctor that you are taking fingolimod, as they may not understand the results of the tests otherwise. For certain blood tests, your doctor may need more blood than usual.

Before starting treatment with fingolimod, your doctor will check if you have enough white blood cells in your blood and may want to repeat the checks regularly. If you do not have enough white blood cells, you may need to stop treatment with fingolimod.

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES)

A rare condition called posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) has been reported in patients with multiple sclerosis treated with fingolimod. Symptoms can include sudden and severe headache, confusion, seizures, and changes in vision. Tell your doctor immediately if you experience any of these symptoms during treatment with fingolimod because it can be serious.

Cancer

Cases of skin cancer have been reported in patients with MS who have been treated with fingolimod. Tell your doctor immediately if you notice any nodules on the skin (e.g., shiny nodules with a pearl-like appearance), spots, or open sores that do not heal within weeks. Symptoms of skin cancer can include abnormal growth or changes in skin tissue (e.g., unusual moles) that change color, shape, or size over time. Before starting treatment with fingolimod, a skin examination is required to check if you have any nodules on the skin. Your doctor will also perform regular skin checks during treatment with fingolimod. If any skin problems appear, your doctor may refer you to a dermatologist, who may decide if it is important to visit you regularly.

In patients with MS who have been treated with fingolimod, a type of cancer of the lymphatic system (lymphoma) has been reported.

Sun exposure and sun protection

Fingolimod weakens your immune system, which increases the risk of developing cancer, especially skin cancer. You should limit your exposure to the sun and UV rays by:

• using suitable protective clothing.
• regularly applying a sunscreen with a high UV protection index.

Unusual brain lesions associated with MS relapses

Rare cases of large and unusual brain lesions associated with MS relapses have been reported in patients treated with fingolimod. In the case of severe relapses, your doctor will assess the need for an MRI scan to evaluate your condition and decide if you need to stop taking fingolimod.

Switching from other treatments to fingolimod

Your doctor may switch you directly from interferon beta, glatiramer acetate, or dimethyl fumarate to fingolimod if there are no signs of treatment-related anomalies. Your doctor may need to perform a blood test to rule out such anomalies. After stopping natalizumab, you may need to wait for 2-3 months before starting treatment with fingolimod. To switch from teriflunomide, your doctor may advise you to wait for a period of time or undergo an accelerated elimination procedure. If you have been treated with alemtuzumab, a thorough evaluation is necessary, and you should discuss it with your doctor to decide if fingolimod is suitable for you.

Women of childbearing age

If fingolimod is used during pregnancy, it may harm the fetus. Before starting treatment with fingolimod, your doctor will explain the risks and ask you to take a pregnancy test to ensure you are not pregnant. Your doctor will give you a card that explains why you should not become pregnant while taking fingolimod and what you should do to avoid becoming pregnant while taking fingolimod. During treatment and for two months after stopping treatment, you must use an effective contraceptive method (see section "Pregnancy and breastfeeding").

MS worsening after stopping treatment with fingolimod

Do not stop taking fingolimod or change the dose your doctor has prescribed without discussing it with your doctor first.

Tell your doctor immediately if you think your MS is getting worse after stopping treatment with fingolimod, as it can be serious (see section 3 "If you stop treatment with fingolimod" and also section 4 "Possible side effects").

Elderly

Experience with fingolimod in elderly patients (over 65 years) is limited. If in doubt, consult your doctor.

Children and adolescents

Fingolimod should not be administered to children under 10 years of age, as it has not been studied in patients with MS in this age group.

The warnings and precautions mentioned above also apply to children and adolescents. The following information is especially important for children and adolescents and their caregivers:

• Before starting treatment with fingolimod, your doctor will check your vaccination status. If you have not received certain vaccinations, you may need to receive them before you can start treatment with fingolimod.
• The first time you take fingolimod, or when you switch from a daily dose of 0.25 mg to a daily dose of 0.5 mg, your doctor will monitor your heart rate and heartbeats (see the previous section "Slow heart rate (bradycardia) and irregular heartbeats").
• If you have seizures or attacks before taking or while taking fingolimod, tell your doctor.
• If you suffer from depression or anxiety or if you feel depressed or anxious during treatment with fingolimod, tell your doctor. You may need closer monitoring.

Other medications and Fingolimod HEC Pharm

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medication. Tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medications:

• Medications that suppress or modulate the immune system, including othermedications used to treat MS, such as interferon beta, glatiramer acetate, natalizumab, mitoxantrone, teriflunomide, dimethyl fumarate, or alemtuzumab. You should not use fingolimod with these medications because it could intensify the effect on the immune system (see also "Do not use fingolimod").
• Corticosteroidsdue to an added effect on the immune system.
• Vaccines. If you need a vaccine, tell your doctor first. During treatment with fingolimod and up to two months after stopping treatment, you should not receive certain types of vaccines (vaccines made with live attenuated viruses) because they can cause the infections they are intended to prevent. Other vaccines may not be effective if administered during this period.
• Medications that slow the heart rate(e.g., beta-blockers such as atenolol). Using fingolimod with these medications can intensify the effect on the heart rate during the first days after starting treatment with fingolimod.
• Medications to treat irregular heartbeats, such as quinine, disopyramide, amiodarone, or sotalol. If you take any of these medications, you should not use fingolimod, as it could intensify the effect on irregular heartbeats (see also the section "Do not take fingolimod").
• Other medications:
• • protease inhibitors, anti-infectives such as ketoconazole, antifungal azoles,

4. Possible side effects

Like all medications, this medication can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them.

Some side effects can be serious or potentially serious.

Common(may affect up to 1 in 10 people):

• Cough with expectoration (phlegm), chest discomfort, fever (signs of pulmonary disorders)
• Herpes virus infection (shingles or herpes zoster) with symptoms such as blisters, itching, burning, or pain on the skin, especially on the upper body or face. Other symptoms you may experience include fever and weakness in the early stage of the infection, followed by numbness, itching, or red spots with intense pain
• Slow heart rate (bradycardia), irregular heart rhythm
• A type of skin cancer known as basal cell carcinoma (BCC) that often appears as a pearl-like nodule, although it can also have other forms
• It is known that the population with multiple sclerosis has depression and anxiety more frequently, and these have also been reported in pediatric patients treated with fingolimod.
• Weight loss.

Uncommon(may affect up to 1 in 100 people):

• Pneumonia, with symptoms such as fever, cough, difficulty breathing
• Macular edema (inflammation in the central vision area of the retina at the back of the eye) with symptoms such as shadows or a blind spot or loss of vision in the visual field, blurred vision, problems seeing colors or details
• Decreased number of blood platelets, which increases the risk of bleeding or bruising
• Malignant melanoma (a type of skin cancer that usually develops from an unusual mole). Possible signs of melanoma include moles that change in size, shape, thickness, or color over time, or the formation of new moles. Moles can be itchy, bleed, or ulcerate
• Seizures, fits (more frequent in children and adolescents than in adults)

Rare(may affect up to 1 in 1,000 people):

• A disease called posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). Symptoms may include sudden and severe headache, confusion, seizures, and/or visual disturbances
• Lymphoma (a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system)
• Squamous cell carcinoma: a type of skin cancer that can appear as a firm red nodule, an ulcer with a crust, or a new ulcer on an existing scar

Very rare(may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people):

• Abnormality on the electrocardiogram (T-wave inversion)
• Tumor related to human herpesvirus 8 infection (Kaposi's sarcoma)

Frequency not known(cannot be estimated from available data):

• Allergic reactions, including symptoms of rash or hives with itching, swelling of lips, tongue, or face, which are more likely to occur on the day treatment with fingolimod starts
• Signs of liver disease (including liver failure), such as yellowing of the skin or the white part of the eyes (jaundice), nausea or vomiting, pain in the right side of the abdominal area, dark urine (brown color), decreased appetite, fatigue, and abnormal liver function test results.

• Risk of a rare brain infection called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Symptoms of PML may be similar to those of a multiple sclerosis relapse. You may also experience symptoms that you may not notice yourself, such as mood or behavior changes, memory loss, speech or communication difficulties, which your doctor may need to investigate further to rule out PML. Therefore, if you think your multiple sclerosis is getting worse or if you or those close to you notice any new or unusual symptoms, it is very important to inform your doctor as soon as possible. Cryptococcal infections (a type of fungal infection), including cryptococcal meningitis with symptoms such as headache accompanied by neck stiffness, sensitivity to light, nausea, and/or confusion
• Merkel cell carcinoma (a type of skin cancer). Possible signs of Merkel cell carcinoma include the formation of a painless nodule of flesh-colored or bluish-red color, usually on the face, head, or neck. Merkel cell carcinoma can also appear as a firm and painless nodule or mass. Long-term sun exposure and a weakened immune system can affect the risk of developing Merkel cell carcinoma.
• After stopping treatment with fingolimod, multiple sclerosis symptoms may recur and may be worse than they were before or during treatment.
