Contents of the pack and other information

1. What is Icatibant Stada and what is it used for

Icatibant Stada contains the active substance icatibant.

This medicine is used to treat the symptoms of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in adults, adolescents and children over 2 years of age.

In HAE, the levels of a substance in the blood called bradykinin increase, producing symptoms such as swelling, pain, nausea and diarrhea.

Icatibant blocks the action of bradykinin and thus slows down the progression of the symptoms of an HAE attack.

2. What you need to know before you use Icatibant Stada

Do not use Icatibant Stada

if you are allergic to icatibant or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor before starting to use icatibant:

If you have angina pectoris (reduced blood flow to the heart).
If you have recently had a stroke.

The side effects related to icatibant are similar to the symptoms of your own disease. Consult your doctor immediately if you notice that the symptoms of the attack worsen after icatibant is administered.

In addition:

You or your caregiver should learn the technique for subcutaneous injections (under the skin) before self-administering or having your caregiver administer this medicine.
Immediately after self-administering icatibant or having your caregiver administer it while experiencing a laryngeal attack (upper airway obstruction), you should seek medical attention at a medical institution.
If your symptoms do not resolve after a self-administered injection of icatibant or an injection administered by your caregiver, you should consult your doctor about the administration of additional injections of this medicine. In adult patients, up to 2 additional injections can be administered within 24 hours.

Children and adolescents

This medicine is not recommended for children under 2 years of age or weighing less than 12 kg because it has not been studied in these patients.

Other medicines and Icatibant Stada

Tell your doctor if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.

No interactions of icatibant with other medicines are known. If you are taking any medicine that is an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) (e.g. captopril, enalapril, ramipril, quinapril, lisinopril) to lower blood pressure or for any other reason, inform your doctor before using this medicine.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

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

If you are breastfeeding, you should not breastfeed your child during the 12 hours following the last administration of icatibant.

Driving and using machines

Do not drive or use machines if you feel tired or dizzy as a result of the HAE attack or after using icatibant.

Icatibant Stada contains sodium

This medicine contains less than 23 mg of sodium (1 mmol) per dose; it is essentially “sodium-free”.

3. How to use Icatibant Stada

Follow the instructions for administration of this medicine exactly as indicated by your doctor. In case of doubt, consult your doctor again.

If you have never been administered icatibant before, the first dose should always be injected by medical or nursing staff. The doctor will discharge you when he considers it safe for you to go home.

After discussing it with your doctor or nurse and learning the technique for subcutaneous injections (under the skin), you or your caregiver can administer this medicine if you have an HAE attack.

It is essential to inject icatibant subcutaneously (under the skin) as soon as you notice an angioedema attack. The healthcare staff will teach you and your caregiver how to inject this medicine safely, following the instructions in the package leaflet.

When and how often should you use Icatibant Stada?

Your doctor has determined the exact dose of this medicine and will tell you how often to use it.

Adults

The recommended dose of icatibant is one injection (3 ml, 30 mg) administered subcutaneously (under the skin) as soon as you notice the angioedema attack (e.g. with increased skin swelling, especially on the face and neck, or increased abdominal pain).

If you do not notice an improvement in symptoms after six hours, ask your doctor about the administration of additional injections of icatibant. In adults, up to 2 additional injections can be administered within 24 hours.

You should not receive more than 3 injections in a 24-hour period and if you need more than 8 injections in a month, ask your doctor.

Children and adolescents from 2 to 17 years

The recommended dose of icatibant is an injection of 1 ml up to a maximum of 3 ml based on body weight, administered subcutaneously (under the skin) as soon as symptoms of an angioedema attack appear (e.g. increased skin swelling, especially on the face and neck, or increased abdominal pain).

See the instructions for use section to see the dose you should inject.

If you are unsure about the dose to inject, consult your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.

If your symptoms worsen or do not improve, consult your doctor immediately.

Method of administration

Icatibant is administered by subcutaneous injection (under the skin). Use each syringe only once.

This medicine is injected with a short needle into the fatty tissue under the skin of the abdomen (belly).

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

Important information for healthcare professionals and caregivers:

When the dose is less than 30 mg (3 ml), the following equipment is needed to extract the correct dose (see information below):

Icatibant pre-filled syringe (with icatibant solution)

Connector (adapter)

3 ml graduated syringe

Pre-filled syringe with medication showing graduated plunger and removable needle protector with its components

26 kg to 40 kg	1.5 ml

If you are unsure about the volume of solution to extract, consult your doctor, pharmacist or nurse

Remove the caps from each end of the connector.

Avoid touching the ends of the connector and the tips of the syringes to prevent contamination

Screw the connector onto the pre-filled syringe.

Attach the graduated syringe to the other end of the connector, making sure that both connections fit securely.

2b) Preparation of the syringe and needle for injection: All patients (adults, adolescents and children)

Hypodermic needle in transparent syringe held by a hand outlined in black and white

Remove the needle cap from the blister pack

Pull the syringe to remove the needle from the cap. Do not pull the plunger.

The syringe is now ready to administer the injection

Preparation of the injection site

Hand pinching the skin with thumb and index finger forming a fold for injection

Choose the injection site. The injection site should be a fold of the abdomen, at a distance of approximately 5-10 cm (2-4 inches) below the navel, to one side or the other. The area should be at least 5 cm (2 inches) away from any scar. Do not choose an area with bruises, inflammation or pain.

Holding the skin fold, bring the syringe close and quickly insert the needle into the fold

Slowly press the plunger with a firm pulse, until all the fluid has been injected into the skin and no liquid remains in the syringe

Press slowly, so that the process takes approximately 30 seconds

Release the skin fold and gently remove the needle
