Step-by-step instructions

Kynmobi is a medication that is placed under the tongue (sublingual film), which contains the active ingredient apomorphine hydrochloride. It is used, as needed, with other oral medications for Parkinson's disease taken through the mouth, to reduce the time in "OFF": a period during the day when symptoms of the disease worsen significantly. Parkinson's disease is a progressive nervous system disorder, which causes tremors and affects movement.

Do not take Kynmobi

• if you are allergic to apomorphine hydrochloride or any of the other ingredients of this medication (listed in section 6).
• if you are taking certain medications to treat nausea called 5HT3 antagonists, including granisetron, dolasetron, palonosetron, and alosetron.
• if you are taking ondansetron (a medication to treat nausea and vomiting).
• if you have a psychotic disorder, a medical term that describes many mental illnesses that cause abnormal thoughts and perceptions; people with psychosis lose contact with reality.
• if you have dementia.
• if you have aphthous ulcers: small flat lesions that appear in the soft tissues of the mouth and can cause discomfort when eating and speaking.
• if you have liver problems.
• if you have difficulty breathing.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Kynmobi:

• if you have lung problems.
• if you have heart problems.
• if you have liver problems.
• if you have frequent nausea (feeling of dizziness) or vomiting.
• if you have low blood pressure or feel like you are going to faint or get dizzy when you stand up.After taking Kynmobi, you should stand up slowly if you are sitting or lying down.
• if you are taking any medication to treat high blood pressure.
• if you or a family member have an abnormality in the electrocardiogram (ECG) called "long QT syndrome".
• if you have a mental illness with symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thoughts, and loss of contact with reality.

Oral irritation is a very common side effect of Kynmobi. Inform your doctor if you develop any of the following signs or symptoms:

• redness,
• mouth sores (ulceration),
• dryness in the mouth, lips, or tongue,
• swelling,
• pain in the mouth or difficulty swallowing.

These signs and symptoms disappear when you stop taking Kynmobi.

Inform your doctor if you or your family/caregiver notice that you are developing impulses or desires to behave in an unusual way and cannot resist the impulse, push, or temptation to carry out certain activities that could harm you or others. These behaviors are called "impulse control disorders" and may include: addiction to gaming, excessive eating or spending, abnormally elevated sexual desire or increased sexual thoughts or feelings. This type of behavior has been reported in patients taking other medications for Parkinson's disease. Your doctor may need to review your treatments.

Some patients develop symptoms similar to addiction, which lead to a compulsive desire to take high doses of Kynmobi and other medications used to treat Parkinson's disease.

Kynmobi can cause neuroleptic malignant syndrome (a nervous system disorder usually caused by antipsychotics). This is a disorder that causes high fever, confusion, changes in breathing and heart rate, and muscle rigidity.

When you reduce your dose of Kynmobi or stop treatment, you may experience withdrawal symptoms such as: lack of interest, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sweating, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, and pain.

This medication can cause penile erections. If these evolve into prolonged painful erections, consult your doctor.
