Description
Serious and/or life-threatening peripheral ischemia has been associated with the coadministration of dihydroergotamine with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. Because CYP3A4 inhibition elevates the serum levels of dihydroergotamine, the risk for vasospasm leading to cerebral ischemia and/or ischemia of the extremities is increased. Hence, concomitant use of ATZUMI with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors is contraindicated [see Contraindications (4) , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , and Drug Interactions (7.1) ].
Indications and Usage
ATZUMI is indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults.
Dosage and Administration
ATZUMI is for nasal administration only. ( 2.1 ) The recommended dose of ATZUMI is 5.2 mg, the contents of one nasal device, administered into one nostril. ( 2.1 ) To administer a dose, the white air pump of the ATZUMI device must be squeezed three separate times into one nostril. ( 2.1 ) The dose may be repeated, if needed, a minimum of 1 hour after the first dose. The maximum dose in a 24-hour period is 10.4 mg (two doses of ATZUMI 5.2 mg). ( 2.1 ) The safety of taking more than 4 doses within a 7-day period or 12 doses within a 30-day period has not been established. ( 2.1 ) Prior to initiation, a cardiovascular evaluation is recommended. ( 2.2 )
Warnings and Precautions
Myocardial Ischemia and/or Infarction, Other Cardiac Adverse Reactions, and Fatalities: In patients with risk factors predictive of coronary artery disease, consider first dose administration under medical supervision with electrocardiogram. ( 5.2 ) Cerebrovascular Adverse Reactions and Fatalities: Cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and stroke have been reported; discontinue ATZUMI if suspected. ( 5.3 ) Other Vasospasm Related Adverse Reactions: ATZUMI may cause vasospasm or elevation in blood pressure. Discontinue if signs or symptoms of vasoconstriction develop. ( 5.4 , 5.5 ) Medication Overuse Headache: Detoxification may be necessary. ( 5.6 ) Preterm Labor: Advise pregnant women of the risk. ( 5.7 , 8.1 ) Fibrotic Complications: Pleural and retroperitoneal fibrosis have been reported following prolonged daily use of dihydroergotamine. Administration of ATZUMI should not exceed the dosing guidelines or be used for chronic daily administration. ( 5.8 ) Local Irritation: If severe local irritation occurs for no other attributable reason, suspend ATZUMI until resolution. ( 5.9 )
Contraindications
ATZUMI is contraindicated in patients: with concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Drug Interactions (7.1) ] with ischemic heart disease (e.g., angina pectoris, history of myocardial infarction, or documented silent ischemia) or patients who have clinical symptoms or findings consistent with coronary artery vasospasm, including Prinzmetal's variant angina [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] with uncontrolled hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] with peripheral arterial disease with sepsis following vascular surgery with severe hepatic impairment with severe renal impairment with known hypersensitivity to ergot alkaloids with recent use (i.e., within 24 hours) of other 5-HT 1 agonists or ergotamine-containing or ergot-type medications [see Drug Interactions (7.2) ] with concomitant use of peripheral and central vasoconstrictors because the combination may result in additive or synergistic elevation of blood pressure [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ]
Adverse Reactions
The potential for cardiac adverse reactions exists with ATZUMI treatment. Serious adverse cardiac events, including some that have been fatal, have occurred following use of dihydroergotamine. These events have included acute myocardial infarction, life-threatening disturbances of cardiac rhythm (e.g., ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation), coronary artery vasospasm, and transient myocardial ischemia. Prior to initiation of ATZUMI, a cardiovascular evaluation is recommended to determine if the patient is free of coronary artery and ischemic myocardial disease or other significant underlying cardiovascular disease. If, during the cardiovascular evaluation, the patient's medical history (including risk factors), or electrocardiographic investigation, findings are consistent with coronary artery vasospasm or myocardial ischemia, ATZUMI should not be administered [see Contraindications (4) ] . For patients with risk factors predictive of coronary artery disease (e.g., hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, smoker, obesity, diabetes, strong family history of coronary artery disease, females who are surgically or physiologically postmenopausal, or males who are over 40 years of age) who are determined to have a satisfactory cardiovascular evaluation, it is strongly recommended that administration of the first dose of ATZUMI take place in the setting of an equipped healthcare facility, unless the patient has previously received dihydroergotamine. During the interval immediately following the first use of ATZUMI, an electrocardiogram is recommended in those patients with risk factors because ischemia can occur in the absence of clinical symptoms.
Drug Interactions
Beta Blockers/Nicotine: May potentiate/provoke vasoconstriction. ( 7.3 , 7.5 ) Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors: Weakness, hyperreflexia, and incoordination may occur with coadministration. ( 7.6 )
Storage and Handling
Store ATZUMI at controlled room temperature, 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F), with excursions allowed between 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F). Store ATZUMI in its protective foil pouch until ready to use.
How Supplied
ATZUMI (dihydroergotamine) nasal powder is supplied in a single-dose nasal device with white powder containing 5.2 mg of dihydroergotamine. ATZUMI is available in a carton of 8 nasal devices each individually packaged in a protective foil pouch (NDC 76978-101-08).

9.2 Abuse
Abuse is the intentional, non-therapeutic use of a drug, even once, for its desirable psychological or physiological effects. Currently available data have not demonstrated drug abuse with dihydroergotamine. However, cases of drug abuse in patients on other forms of ergot therapy have been reported.
7.2 Triptans
Triptans (serotonin [5-HT] 1B/1D receptor agonists) have been reported to cause coronary artery vasospasm, and its effects could be additive with ATZUMI. Therefore, triptans and ATZUMI should not be taken within 24 hours of each other [see Contraindications (4)].
7.5 Nicotine
Nicotine may provoke vasoconstriction in some patients, predisposing to a greater ischemic response to ergot therapy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2, 5.4)].
10.1 Symptoms
Excessive doses of dihydroergotamine may result in peripheral signs and symptoms of ergotism. In general, the symptoms of an acute ATZUMI overdose may be similar to those of an ergotamine overdose, although there may be less pronounced nausea and vomiting with ATZUMI. The symptoms of an ergotamine overdose include the following: numbness, tingling, pain, and cyanosis of the extremities associated with diminished or absent peripheral pulses; respiratory depression; an increase and/or decrease in blood pressure, usually in that order; confusion, delirium, convulsions, and coma; and/or some degree of nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
In laboratory animals, dihydroergotamine mesylate was lethal when given at intravenous doses of 44 mg/kg in mice, 130 mg/kg in rats, and 37 mg/kg in rabbits.
10.2 Treatment
Treatment of an overdose of ATZUMI should consist of discontinuation of the drug, general supportive measures including monitoring of vital signs, and observation of the clinical status of the patient for at least 24 hours, or while symptoms or signs persist. Consider contacting the Poison Help line (1-800-222-1222) or a medical toxicologist for additional overdose management recommendations.
11 Description
ATZUMI contains dihydroergotamine, an ergotamine derivative, as the mesylate salt. Dihydroergotamine mesylate is a white or almost white crystalline powder. It is slightly soluble in water and chloroform and sparingly soluble in methanol. The chemical designation for dihydroergotamine mesylate is (6aR,9R,10aR)-N-[(2R,5S,10aS,10bS)-5-benzyl-10b-hydroxy-2-methyl-3,6-dioxo-octahydro-8H-oxazolo[3,2-α]pyrrolo[2,1-c]pyrazin-2-yl]-7-methyl- 4,6,6a,7,8,9,10,10a-octahydroindolo[4,3-fg]quinoline-9-carboxamide methanesulphonate. The empirical formula is C33H37N5O5 ∙ CH4O3S. The molecular weight is 679.80, and it has the following structure:
ATZUMI contains dihydroergotamine 5.2 mg (equivalent to 6.0 mg dihydroergotamine mesylate).
ATZUMI nasal powder is a drug-device combination product consisting of a powder prefilled in a single-dose delivery device for nasal administration into one nostril. ATZUMI does not need to be assembled or primed before use. Inactive ingredients are hypromellose, mannitol, and microcrystalline cellulose.
9.3 Dependence
Physical dependence is a state that develops as a result of physiological adaptation in response to repeated drug use, manifested by withdrawal signs and symptoms after abrupt discontinuation or a significant dose reduction of a drug. Currently available data have not demonstrated physical or psychological dependence with dihydroergotamine. However, cases of psychological dependence in patients on other forms of ergot therapy have been reported.
16.1 How Supplied
ATZUMI (dihydroergotamine) nasal powder is supplied in a single-dose nasal device with white powder containing 5.2 mg of dihydroergotamine. ATZUMI is available in a carton of 8 nasal devices each individually packaged in a protective foil pouch (NDC 76978-101-08).
5.7 Preterm Labor
Based on the mechanism of action of dihydroergotamine and findings from the published literature, ATZUMI may cause preterm labor. Avoid use of ATZUMI during pregnancy [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)].
7.3 Beta Blockers
There have been reports that propranolol may potentiate the vasoconstrictive action of ergotamine by blocking the vasodilating property of epinephrine.
8.4 Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of ATZUMI have not been established in pediatric patients.
8.5 Geriatric Use
Clinical studies of ATZUMI and other dihydroergotamine products did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.
14 Clinical Studies
The efficacy of ATZUMI for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults was based on the relative bioavailability of ATZUMI nasal powder compared to dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray.
The clinical trials described below were conducted using dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray.
The efficacy of dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray for the acute treatment of migraine headaches was evaluated in four randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled studies in the U.S. The patient population for the trials was predominantly female (87%) and Caucasian (95%) with a mean age of 39 years (range 18 to 65 years). Patients treated a single moderate to severe migraine headache with a single dose of study medication and assessed pain severity over the 24 hours following treatment. Headache response was determined 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours after dosing and was defined as a reduction in headache severity to mild or no pain. In studies 1 and 2, a four-point pain intensity scale was utilized; in studies 3 and 4, a five-point scale was used to record pain response. Although rescue medication was allowed in all four studies, patients were instructed not to use them during the four hour observation period. In studies 3 and 4, a total dose of 2 mg was compared to placebo. In studies 1 and 2, doses of 2 and 3 mg were evaluated, and showed no advantage of the higher dose for a single treatment. In all studies, patients received a regimen consisting of 0.5 mg in each nostril, repeated in 15 minutes (and again in another 15 minutes for the 3 mg dose in studies 1 and 2).
The percentage of patients achieving headache response 4 hours after treatment was significantly greater in patients receiving 2 mg doses of dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray compared to those receiving placebo in 3 of the 4 studies (see Table 2 and Table 3 and Figure 1 and Figure 2).
| N | 2 hours | 4 hours | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Study 1 | Dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray | 105 | 61% p value < 0.001

| Placebo | 98 | 23% | 28% | |
| Difference from Placebo | 37% | 42% | ||
| Study 2 | Dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray | 103 | 47% | 56% p value < 0.01
|
| Placebo | 102 | 33% | 35% | |
| Difference from Placebo | 14% | 21% |
| N | 2 hours | 4 hours | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Study 3 | Dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray | 50 | 32% | 48% p value < 0.01
|
| Placebo | 50 | 20% | 22% | |
| Difference from Placebo | 12% | 26% | ||
| Study 4 | Dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray | 47 | 30% | 47% |
| Placebo | 50 | 20% | 30% | |
| Difference from Placebo | 10% | 17% |
The Kaplan-Meier plots below (Figure 1 and Figure 2) provides an estimate of the probability that a patient will have responded to a single 2 mg dose of dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray as a function of the time elapsed since initiation of treatment.
For patients with migraine-associated nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia at baseline, there was a lower incidence of these symptoms at 2 and 4 hours following administration of dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray compared to placebo.
Patients were not allowed to use additional treatments for 8 hours prior to study medication dosing and during the 4-hour observation period following study treatment. Following the 4-hour observation period, patients were allowed to use additional treatments. For all studies, the estimated probability of patients using additional treatments for their migraines over the 24 hours following the single 2 mg dose of study treatment is summarized in Figure 3 below.
Neither age nor sex appear to affect the patient's response to dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray. The racial distribution of patients was insufficient to determine the effect of race on the efficacy of dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray.
4 Contraindications
ATZUMI is contraindicated in patients:
- with concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Drug Interactions (7.1)]

7 Drug Interactions
5.9 Local Irritation
Local irritative symptoms were reported in 29% of patients treated with at least one dose of ATZUMI in an open-labeled trial, which allowed repeated use of ATZUMI up to 12 months. The common local irritative symptoms (at least 1% of patients) were nasal discomfort (11%), altered taste (8%), nasal congestion (5%), nasopharyngitis (5%), rhinorrhea (4%), cough (3%), nasal pain (3%), epistaxis (2%), sneezing (2%), nasal pruritus (1%), and increased lacrimation (1%). If a severe local irritation event occurs for no other attributable reasons, avoid further use of ATZUMI until the event resolves. Monitor patients for severe recurrent local irritation.
Nasal tissue in animals treated with dihydroergotamine mesylate daily showed mild mucosal irritation characterized by mucous cell and transitional cell hyperplasia and squamous cell metaplasia. Changes in rat nasal mucosa at 64 weeks were less severe than at 13 weeks. Local effects on respiratory tissue after chronic intranasal dosing in animals have not been evaluated.
7.4 Vasoconstrictors
ATZUMI is contraindicated for use with peripheral and central vasoconstrictors because the combination may cause synergistic elevation of blood pressure [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)].

12.2 Pharmacodynamics
Significant elevation in blood pressure has been reported in patients treated with dihydroergotamine with and without a history of hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)].
Dihydroergotamine possesses oxytocic properties [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7)].
7.1 Cyp3a4 Inhibitors
There have been rare reports of serious adverse events in connection with the coadministration of intravenous administration of dihydroergotamine and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, resulting in vasospasm that led to cerebral ischemia and/or ischemia of the extremities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. The use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors with ATZUMI is contraindicated [see Contraindications (4)]. Administer moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors with caution.
2.1 Dosing Information
ATZUMI is for nasal administration only.
The recommended dose of ATZUMI is 5.2 mg (the contents of one nasal device) and is administered as a powdered medicine into one nostril [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].
The dose may be repeated, if needed, a minimum of 1 hour after the first dose. The maximum dose in a 24-hour period is 10.4 mg (two doses of ATZUMI 5.2 mg). The safety of taking more than 4 doses in a 7-day period or 12 doses within a 30-day period has not been established.
1 Indications and Usage
ATZUMI is indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults.
12.1 Mechanism of Action
Dihydroergotamine binds with high affinity to 5-HT1Dα and 5-HT1Dβ receptors.
The therapeutic activity of dihydroergotamine in migraine is generally attributed to the agonist effects at 5-HT1D receptors.
9.1 Controlled Substance
ATZUMI contains dihydroergotamine (as the mesylate salt), which is not a controlled substance.
16.2 Storage and Handling
Store ATZUMI at controlled room temperature, 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F), with excursions allowed between 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F).
Store ATZUMI in its protective foil pouch until ready to use.
5 Warnings and Precautions
- Myocardial Ischemia and/or Infarction, Other Cardiac Adverse Reactions, and Fatalities: In patients with risk factors predictive of coronary artery disease, consider first dose administration under medical supervision with electrocardiogram. (5.2)
- Cerebrovascular Adverse Reactions and Fatalities: Cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and stroke have been reported; discontinue ATZUMI if suspected. (5.3)
- Other Vasospasm Related Adverse Reactions: ATZUMI may cause vasospasm or elevation in blood pressure. Discontinue if signs or symptoms of vasoconstriction develop. (5.4, 5.5)
- Medication Overuse Headache: Detoxification may be necessary. (5.6)
- Preterm Labor: Advise pregnant women of the risk. (5.7, 8.1)
- Fibrotic Complications: Pleural and retroperitoneal fibrosis have been reported following prolonged daily use of dihydroergotamine. Administration of ATZUMI should not exceed the dosing guidelines or be used for chronic daily administration. (5.8)
- Local Irritation: If severe local irritation occurs for no other attributable reason, suspend ATZUMI until resolution. (5.9)
5.8 Fibrotic Complications
The potential for fibrotic complications exists with ATZUMI treatment. There have been reports of pleural and retroperitoneal fibrosis in patients following prolonged daily use of dihydroergotamine . Rarely, prolonged daily use of other ergot alkaloid drugs has been associated with cardiac valvular fibrosis. Rare cases have also been reported in association with the use of dihydroergotamine; however, in those cases, patients also received drugs known to be associated with cardiac valvular fibrosis.
Administration of ATZUMI should not exceed the dosing guidelines and should not be used for chronic daily administration [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)].
2 Dosage and Administration
- ATZUMI is for nasal administration only. (2.1)
- The recommended dose of ATZUMI is 5.2 mg, the contents of one nasal device, administered into one nostril. (2.1)
- To administer a dose, the white air pump of the ATZUMI device must be squeezed three separate times into one nostril. (2.1)
- The dose may be repeated, if needed, a minimum of 1 hour after the first dose. The maximum dose in a 24-hour period is 10.4 mg (two doses of ATZUMI 5.2 mg). (2.1)
- The safety of taking more than 4 doses within a 7-day period or 12 doses within a 30-day period has not been established. (2.1)
- Prior to initiation, a cardiovascular evaluation is recommended. (2.2)
3 Dosage Forms and Strengths
Nasal Powder: 5.2 mg dihydroergotamine as a white powder in a single-dose nasal device.
6.2 Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of dihydroergotamine. Because these reactions are 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:
-
Vasospasm, paresthesia, hypertension, dizziness, anxiety, dyspnea, headache, flushing, diarrhea, rash, increased sweating, and pleural and retroperitoneal fibrosis after long-term use of dihydroergotamine. Cases of myocardial infarction and stroke have been reported following the use of dihydroergotamine [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
8 Use in Specific Populations
5.5 Increase in Blood Pressure
Significant elevation in blood pressure has been reported on rare occasions in patients with and without a history of hypertension treated with dihydroergotamine. ATZUMI is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled hypertension [see Contraindications (4)].
An 18% increase in mean pulmonary artery pressure was seen following dosing with another 5-HT1 agonist in a study evaluating subjects undergoing cardiac catheterization.
6.1 Clinical Trials 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 studies described below were conducted with dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray; adverse reactions with ATZUMI nasal powder are expected to be similar to adverse reactions with dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray.
2.3 Administration Instructions
- Priming is not required.
- To administer a dose of ATZUMI, remove the round blue tab from the blue nozzle, and insert the blue nozzle into one nostril. Squeeze the white air pump 3 separate times into 1 nostril while inhaling. Allow the white air pump to expand back to its original shape between squeezes [see Instructions for Use].
- Fast, complete, pulse-like squeezes are needed to deliver the complete dose. Do not squeeze slowly, partially or with any hesitation.
5.6 Medication Overuse Headache
Overuse of acute migraine drugs (e.g., ergotamines, triptans, opioids, or a combination of these drugs for 10 or more days per month) may lead to exacerbation of headache (i.e., medication overuse headache). Medication overuse headache may present as migraine-like daily headaches or as a marked increase in frequency of migraine attacks. Detoxification of patients including withdrawal of the overused drugs and treatment of withdrawal symptoms (which often includes a transient worsening of headache) may be necessary.
17 Patient Counseling Information
Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Medication Guide and Instructions for Use).
2.2 Assessment Prior to First Dose
Prior to initiation of ATZUMI, a cardiovascular evaluation is recommended [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. For patients with risk factors predictive of coronary artery disease who are determined to have a satisfactory cardiovascular evaluation, it is strongly recommended that administration of the first dose of ATZUMI take place in the setting of an equipped healthcare facility.
7.6 Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors
Weakness, hyperreflexia, and incoordination have been reported rarely when 5-HT1 agonists have been co-administered with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (e.g., fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline).
5.4 Other Vasospasm Related Adverse Reactions
ATZUMI, like other ergot alkaloids, may cause vasospastic reactions other than coronary artery vasospasm. Myocardial, peripheral vascular, and colonic ischemia have been reported with dihydroergotamine.
Dihydroergotamine associated vasospastic phenomena may also cause muscle pains, numbness, coldness, pallor, and cyanosis of the digits. In patients with compromised circulation, persistent vasospasm may result in gangrene or death. ATZUMI should be discontinued immediately if signs or symptoms of vasoconstriction develop.
Patients who experience other symptoms or signs suggestive of decreased arterial flow, such as ischemic bowel syndrome or Raynaud's syndrome, following the use of any 5-HT1 agonist, including ATZUMI, should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.

5.3 Cerebrovascular Adverse Reactions and Fatalities
The potential for adverse cerebrovascular adverse reactions exists with ATZUMI treatment. Cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, stroke, and other cerebrovascular events have been reported in patients treated with dihydroergotamine; and some have resulted in fatalities. In a number of cases, it appears possible that the cerebrovascular events were primary, the dihydroergotamine having been administered in the incorrect belief that the symptoms experienced were a consequence of migraine, when they were not. It should be noted that patients with migraine may be at increased risk of certain cerebrovascular events (e.g., stroke, hemorrhage, transient ischemic attack).
Discontinue ATZUMI if a cerebrovascular event is suspected.
5.1 Peripheral Ischemia Following Coadministration With Strong Cyp3a4 Inhibitors
Serious and/or life-threatening peripheral ischemia has been associated with the coadministration of dihydroergotamine with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, including protease inhibitors, macrolide antibiotics, and antifungals. Because CYP3A4 inhibition elevates the serum levels of dihydroergotamine, the risk for vasospasm leading to cerebral ischemia and/or ischemia of the extremities is increased. Hence, concomitant use of ATZUMI with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors is contraindicated [see Contraindications (4) and Drug Interactions (7.1)].
Warning: Peripheral Ischemia Following Coadministration With Strong Cyp3a4 Inhibitors
Serious and/or life-threatening peripheral ischemia has been associated with the coadministration of dihydroergotamine with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. Because CYP3A4 inhibition elevates the serum levels of dihydroergotamine, the risk for vasospasm leading to cerebral ischemia and/or ischemia of the extremities is increased. Hence, concomitant use of ATZUMI with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors is contraindicated [see Contraindications (4), Warnings and Precautions (5.1), and Drug Interactions (7.1)].
5.2 Myocardial Ischemia And/or Infarction, Other Cardiac Adverse Reactions, and Fatalities
The potential for cardiac adverse reactions exists with ATZUMI treatment. Serious adverse cardiac events, including some that have been fatal, have occurred following use of dihydroergotamine. These events have included acute myocardial infarction, life-threatening disturbances of cardiac rhythm (e.g., ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation), coronary artery vasospasm, and transient myocardial ischemia.
Prior to initiation of ATZUMI, a cardiovascular evaluation is recommended to determine if the patient is free of coronary artery and ischemic myocardial disease or other significant underlying cardiovascular disease. If, during the cardiovascular evaluation, the patient's medical history (including risk factors), or electrocardiographic investigation, findings are consistent with coronary artery vasospasm or myocardial ischemia, ATZUMI should not be administered [see Contraindications (4)].
For patients with risk factors predictive of coronary artery disease (e.g., hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, smoker, obesity, diabetes, strong family history of coronary artery disease, females who are surgically or physiologically postmenopausal, or males who are over 40 years of age) who are determined to have a satisfactory cardiovascular evaluation, it is strongly recommended that administration of the first dose of ATZUMI take place in the setting of an equipped healthcare facility, unless the patient has previously received dihydroergotamine. During the interval immediately following the first use of ATZUMI, an electrocardiogram is recommended in those patients with risk factors because ischemia can occur in the absence of clinical symptoms.

9.2 Abuse
Abuse is the intentional, non-therapeutic use of a drug, even once, for its desirable psychological or physiological effects. Currently available data have not demonstrated drug abuse with dihydroergotamine. However, cases of drug abuse in patients on other forms of ergot therapy have been reported.
7.2 Triptans
Triptans (serotonin [5-HT] 1B/1D receptor agonists) have been reported to cause coronary artery vasospasm, and its effects could be additive with ATZUMI. Therefore, triptans and ATZUMI should not be taken within 24 hours of each other [see Contraindications (4)].
7.5 Nicotine
Nicotine may provoke vasoconstriction in some patients, predisposing to a greater ischemic response to ergot therapy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2, 5.4)].
10.1 Symptoms
Excessive doses of dihydroergotamine may result in peripheral signs and symptoms of ergotism. In general, the symptoms of an acute ATZUMI overdose may be similar to those of an ergotamine overdose, although there may be less pronounced nausea and vomiting with ATZUMI. The symptoms of an ergotamine overdose include the following: numbness, tingling, pain, and cyanosis of the extremities associated with diminished or absent peripheral pulses; respiratory depression; an increase and/or decrease in blood pressure, usually in that order; confusion, delirium, convulsions, and coma; and/or some degree of nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
In laboratory animals, dihydroergotamine mesylate was lethal when given at intravenous doses of 44 mg/kg in mice, 130 mg/kg in rats, and 37 mg/kg in rabbits.
10.2 Treatment
Treatment of an overdose of ATZUMI should consist of discontinuation of the drug, general supportive measures including monitoring of vital signs, and observation of the clinical status of the patient for at least 24 hours, or while symptoms or signs persist. Consider contacting the Poison Help line (1-800-222-1222) or a medical toxicologist for additional overdose management recommendations.
11 Description (11 DESCRIPTION)
ATZUMI contains dihydroergotamine, an ergotamine derivative, as the mesylate salt. Dihydroergotamine mesylate is a white or almost white crystalline powder. It is slightly soluble in water and chloroform and sparingly soluble in methanol. The chemical designation for dihydroergotamine mesylate is (6aR,9R,10aR)-N-[(2R,5S,10aS,10bS)-5-benzyl-10b-hydroxy-2-methyl-3,6-dioxo-octahydro-8H-oxazolo[3,2-α]pyrrolo[2,1-c]pyrazin-2-yl]-7-methyl- 4,6,6a,7,8,9,10,10a-octahydroindolo[4,3-fg]quinoline-9-carboxamide methanesulphonate. The empirical formula is C33H37N5O5 ∙ CH4O3S. The molecular weight is 679.80, and it has the following structure:
ATZUMI contains dihydroergotamine 5.2 mg (equivalent to 6.0 mg dihydroergotamine mesylate).
ATZUMI nasal powder is a drug-device combination product consisting of a powder prefilled in a single-dose delivery device for nasal administration into one nostril. ATZUMI does not need to be assembled or primed before use. Inactive ingredients are hypromellose, mannitol, and microcrystalline cellulose.
9.3 Dependence
Physical dependence is a state that develops as a result of physiological adaptation in response to repeated drug use, manifested by withdrawal signs and symptoms after abrupt discontinuation or a significant dose reduction of a drug. Currently available data have not demonstrated physical or psychological dependence with dihydroergotamine. However, cases of psychological dependence in patients on other forms of ergot therapy have been reported.
16.1 How Supplied
ATZUMI (dihydroergotamine) nasal powder is supplied in a single-dose nasal device with white powder containing 5.2 mg of dihydroergotamine. ATZUMI is available in a carton of 8 nasal devices each individually packaged in a protective foil pouch (NDC 76978-101-08).
5.7 Preterm Labor
Based on the mechanism of action of dihydroergotamine and findings from the published literature, ATZUMI may cause preterm labor. Avoid use of ATZUMI during pregnancy [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)].
7.3 Beta Blockers
There have been reports that propranolol may potentiate the vasoconstrictive action of ergotamine by blocking the vasodilating property of epinephrine.
8.4 Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of ATZUMI have not been established in pediatric patients.
8.5 Geriatric Use
Clinical studies of ATZUMI and other dihydroergotamine products did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.
14 Clinical Studies (14 CLINICAL STUDIES)
The efficacy of ATZUMI for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults was based on the relative bioavailability of ATZUMI nasal powder compared to dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray.
The clinical trials described below were conducted using dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray.
The efficacy of dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray for the acute treatment of migraine headaches was evaluated in four randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled studies in the U.S. The patient population for the trials was predominantly female (87%) and Caucasian (95%) with a mean age of 39 years (range 18 to 65 years). Patients treated a single moderate to severe migraine headache with a single dose of study medication and assessed pain severity over the 24 hours following treatment. Headache response was determined 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours after dosing and was defined as a reduction in headache severity to mild or no pain. In studies 1 and 2, a four-point pain intensity scale was utilized; in studies 3 and 4, a five-point scale was used to record pain response. Although rescue medication was allowed in all four studies, patients were instructed not to use them during the four hour observation period. In studies 3 and 4, a total dose of 2 mg was compared to placebo. In studies 1 and 2, doses of 2 and 3 mg were evaluated, and showed no advantage of the higher dose for a single treatment. In all studies, patients received a regimen consisting of 0.5 mg in each nostril, repeated in 15 minutes (and again in another 15 minutes for the 3 mg dose in studies 1 and 2).
The percentage of patients achieving headache response 4 hours after treatment was significantly greater in patients receiving 2 mg doses of dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray compared to those receiving placebo in 3 of the 4 studies (see Table 2 and Table 3 and Figure 1 and Figure 2).

|
| Placebo | 102 | 33% | 35% | |
| Difference from Placebo | 14% | 21% |
| N | 2 hours | 4 hours | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Study 3 | Dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray | 50 | 32% | 48% p value < 0.01
|
| Placebo | 50 | 20% | 22% | |
| Difference from Placebo | 12% | 26% | ||

| Placebo | 50 | 20% | 30% | |
| Difference from Placebo | 10% | 17% |
The Kaplan-Meier plots below (Figure 1 and Figure 2) provides an estimate of the probability that a patient will have responded to a single 2 mg dose of dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray as a function of the time elapsed since initiation of treatment.
For patients with migraine-associated nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia at baseline, there was a lower incidence of these symptoms at 2 and 4 hours following administration of dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray compared to placebo.
Patients were not allowed to use additional treatments for 8 hours prior to study medication dosing and during the 4-hour observation period following study treatment. Following the 4-hour observation period, patients were allowed to use additional treatments. For all studies, the estimated probability of patients using additional treatments for their migraines over the 24 hours following the single 2 mg dose of study treatment is summarized in Figure 3 below.
Neither age nor sex appear to affect the patient's response to dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray. The racial distribution of patients was insufficient to determine the effect of race on the efficacy of dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray.
4 Contraindications (4 CONTRAINDICATIONS)
ATZUMI is contraindicated in patients:
- with concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Drug Interactions (7.1)]
- with ischemic heart disease (e.g., angina pectoris, history of myocardial infarction, or documented silent ischemia) or patients who have clinical symptoms or findings consistent with coronary artery vasospasm, including Prinzmetal's variant angina [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]
- with uncontrolled hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]
- with peripheral arterial disease
- with sepsis
- following vascular surgery
- with severe hepatic impairment
- with severe renal impairment

- with recent use (i.e., within 24 hours) of other 5-HT1 agonists or ergotamine-containing or ergot-type medications [see Drug Interactions (7.2)]
- with concomitant use of peripheral and central vasoconstrictors because the combination may result in additive or synergistic elevation of blood pressure [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]
6 Adverse Reactions (6 ADVERSE REACTIONS)
The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:
- Peripheral Ischemia Following Coadministration with Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors [see Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]
- Myocardial Ischemia and/or Infarction, Other Adverse Cardiac Events, and Fatalities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
- Cerebrovascular Adverse Reactions and Fatalities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]
- Other Vasospasm Related Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]
- Increase in Blood Pressure [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]
- Medication Overuse Headache [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)]
- Preterm Labor [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7)]
- Fibrotic Complications [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8)]
- Local Irritation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9)]
7 Drug Interactions (7 DRUG INTERACTIONS)
5.9 Local Irritation
Local irritative symptoms were reported in 29% of patients treated with at least one dose of ATZUMI in an open-labeled trial, which allowed repeated use of ATZUMI up to 12 months. The common local irritative symptoms (at least 1% of patients) were nasal discomfort (11%), altered taste (8%), nasal congestion (5%), nasopharyngitis (5%), rhinorrhea (4%), cough (3%), nasal pain (3%), epistaxis (2%), sneezing (2%), nasal pruritus (1%), and increased lacrimation (1%). If a severe local irritation event occurs for no other attributable reasons, avoid further use of ATZUMI until the event resolves. Monitor patients for severe recurrent local irritation.
Nasal tissue in animals treated with dihydroergotamine mesylate daily showed mild mucosal irritation characterized by mucous cell and transitional cell hyperplasia and squamous cell metaplasia. Changes in rat nasal mucosa at 64 weeks were less severe than at 13 weeks. Local effects on respiratory tissue after chronic intranasal dosing in animals have not been evaluated.
7.4 Vasoconstrictors
ATZUMI is contraindicated for use with peripheral and central vasoconstrictors because the combination may cause synergistic elevation of blood pressure [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)].
Instructions for Use (INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE)
ATZUMI™ (at zoo' mee)
(dihydroergotamine)
nasal powder
For Nasal Use Only
This Instructions for Use contains information on how to use ATZUMI.
Read this Instructions for Use before using ATZUMI.
Important Information You Need to Know Before Using ATZUMI
- ATZUMI contains 1 complete dose of medicine and should be thrown away after each use.
- ATZUMI is for nasal (nose) use only.
- Deliver all the powdered medicine into only 1 nostril.
- Do not use ATZUMI if it is damaged or expired.
- Do not squeeze ATZUMI before inserting it into the nostril. Priming is not required.
- Powdered medicine is inside the blue nozzle. When you squeeze the white air pump, air is pushed into the blue nozzle and pushes the powdered medicine into your nose.
- Do not squeeze slowly, partially or with any hesitation. When dosing, you must fully squeeze the white air pump as fast as you can. A fast, pulse-like squeezing action is needed.
How often can you use ATZUMI?
- If needed, you may take a second dose 1 hour after your first dose. Wait at least 1 hour before taking the second dose.
- Do not take more than 2 doses within a 24-hour period.
- It is not known if it is safe to take more than 4 doses of ATZUMI in a 7-day period or 12 doses in a 30-day period.
Storing ATZUMI
- Store ATZUMI at room temperature between 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C).
- Store ATZUMI in its protective foil pouch until ready to use (Figure C).
- Keep ATZUMI and all medicines out of the reach of children.

Important: Do not squeeze the white air pump yet. Wait until Step 2.3. -
2.2 Insert Into Nostril Hold the white air pump as shown in Figure I and insert the blue nozzle into 1 nostril as far as it will comfortably go. The nozzle base should touch your nose (Figure I).
-
2.3 Deliver All of the Powdered Medicine into Only 1 Nostril
-
• Squeeze the white air pump 3 separate times into 1 nostril. Inhale through your nose each time you squeeze (Figure J).
-
• Fast, complete, pulse-like squeezes are needed to push the powdered medicine and deliver the complete dose.
-
• Do not squeeze slowly, partially or with any hesitation.
-
• Allow the white air pump to expand back to its original shape between squeezes (Figure J). Important:
Deliver all the powdered medicine into only 1 nostril.
Step 3. Inspecting ATZUMI
-
3.1 Check for Remaining Powdered Medicine
-
• Keep ATZUMI upright and look inside the blue nozzle to see if any loose powdered medicine remains at the bottom (Figure K).
-
• If loose powdered medicine remains, repeat Step 2.3 to dose into the same nostril, but squeeze the white air pump faster. Repeat Step 2.3 until no loose powdered medicine remains.
Note: -
• It is normal to see a light coating of powdered medicine in the blue nozzle after delivering the complete dose.
-
• If you are not sure whether you have delivered all of the loose powdered medicine, then repeat Step 2.3 with the same ATZUMI device in the same nostril.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics
Significant elevation in blood pressure has been reported in patients treated with dihydroergotamine with and without a history of hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)].
Dihydroergotamine possesses oxytocic properties [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7)].
7.1 Cyp3a4 Inhibitors (7.1 CYP3A4 Inhibitors)
There have been rare reports of serious adverse events in connection with the coadministration of intravenous administration of dihydroergotamine and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, resulting in vasospasm that led to cerebral ischemia and/or ischemia of the extremities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. The use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors with ATZUMI is contraindicated [see Contraindications (4)]. Administer moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors with caution.
2.1 Dosing Information
ATZUMI is for nasal administration only.
The recommended dose of ATZUMI is 5.2 mg (the contents of one nasal device) and is administered as a powdered medicine into one nostril [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].
The dose may be repeated, if needed, a minimum of 1 hour after the first dose. The maximum dose in a 24-hour period is 10.4 mg (two doses of ATZUMI 5.2 mg). The safety of taking more than 4 doses in a 7-day period or 12 doses within a 30-day period has not been established.
1 Indications and Usage (1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE)
ATZUMI is indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults.
12.1 Mechanism of Action
Dihydroergotamine binds with high affinity to 5-HT1Dα and 5-HT1Dβ receptors.
The therapeutic activity of dihydroergotamine in migraine is generally attributed to the agonist effects at 5-HT1D receptors.
9.1 Controlled Substance
ATZUMI contains dihydroergotamine (as the mesylate salt), which is not a controlled substance.
16.2 Storage and Handling
Store ATZUMI at controlled room temperature, 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F), with excursions allowed between 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F).
Store ATZUMI in its protective foil pouch until ready to use.
5 Warnings and Precautions (5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS)
- Myocardial Ischemia and/or Infarction, Other Cardiac Adverse Reactions, and Fatalities: In patients with risk factors predictive of coronary artery disease, consider first dose administration under medical supervision with electrocardiogram. (5.2)
- Cerebrovascular Adverse Reactions and Fatalities: Cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and stroke have been reported; discontinue ATZUMI if suspected. (5.3)
- Other Vasospasm Related Adverse Reactions: ATZUMI may cause vasospasm or elevation in blood pressure. Discontinue if signs or symptoms of vasoconstriction develop. (5.4, 5.5)
- Medication Overuse Headache: Detoxification may be necessary. (5.6)
- Preterm Labor: Advise pregnant women of the risk. (5.7, 8.1)
- Fibrotic Complications: Pleural and retroperitoneal fibrosis have been reported following prolonged daily use of dihydroergotamine. Administration of ATZUMI should not exceed the dosing guidelines or be used for chronic daily administration. (5.8)
- Local Irritation: If severe local irritation occurs for no other attributable reason, suspend ATZUMI until resolution. (5.9)
5.8 Fibrotic Complications
The potential for fibrotic complications exists with ATZUMI treatment. There have been reports of pleural and retroperitoneal fibrosis in patients following prolonged daily use of dihydroergotamine . Rarely, prolonged daily use of other ergot alkaloid drugs has been associated with cardiac valvular fibrosis. Rare cases have also been reported in association with the use of dihydroergotamine; however, in those cases, patients also received drugs known to be associated with cardiac valvular fibrosis.
Administration of ATZUMI should not exceed the dosing guidelines and should not be used for chronic daily administration [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)].
2 Dosage and Administration (2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION)
- ATZUMI is for nasal administration only. (2.1)
- The recommended dose of ATZUMI is 5.2 mg, the contents of one nasal device, administered into one nostril. (2.1)
- To administer a dose, the white air pump of the ATZUMI device must be squeezed three separate times into one nostril. (2.1)
- The dose may be repeated, if needed, a minimum of 1 hour after the first dose. The maximum dose in a 24-hour period is 10.4 mg (two doses of ATZUMI 5.2 mg). (2.1)
- The safety of taking more than 4 doses within a 7-day period or 12 doses within a 30-day period has not been established. (2.1)
- Prior to initiation, a cardiovascular evaluation is recommended. (2.2)
3 Dosage Forms and Strengths (3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS)
Nasal Powder: 5.2 mg dihydroergotamine as a white powder in a single-dose nasal device.
6.2 Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of dihydroergotamine. Because these reactions are 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:
-
Vasospasm, paresthesia, hypertension, dizziness, anxiety, dyspnea, headache, flushing, diarrhea, rash, increased sweating, and pleural and retroperitoneal fibrosis after long-term use of dihydroergotamine. Cases of myocardial infarction and stroke have been reported following the use of dihydroergotamine [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
8 Use in Specific Populations (8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS)
5.5 Increase in Blood Pressure
Significant elevation in blood pressure has been reported on rare occasions in patients with and without a history of hypertension treated with dihydroergotamine. ATZUMI is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled hypertension [see Contraindications (4)].
An 18% increase in mean pulmonary artery pressure was seen following dosing with another 5-HT1 agonist in a study evaluating subjects undergoing cardiac catheterization.
6.1 Clinical Trials 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 studies described below were conducted with dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray; adverse reactions with ATZUMI nasal powder are expected to be similar to adverse reactions with dihydroergotamine mesylate nasal spray.
2.3 Administration Instructions
- Priming is not required.
- To administer a dose of ATZUMI, remove the round blue tab from the blue nozzle, and insert the blue nozzle into one nostril. Squeeze the white air pump 3 separate times into 1 nostril while inhaling. Allow the white air pump to expand back to its original shape between squeezes [see Instructions for Use].
- Fast, complete, pulse-like squeezes are needed to deliver the complete dose. Do not squeeze slowly, partially or with any hesitation.
5.6 Medication Overuse Headache
Overuse of acute migraine drugs (e.g., ergotamines, triptans, opioids, or a combination of these drugs for 10 or more days per month) may lead to exacerbation of headache (i.e., medication overuse headache). Medication overuse headache may present as migraine-like daily headaches or as a marked increase in frequency of migraine attacks. Detoxification of patients including withdrawal of the overused drugs and treatment of withdrawal symptoms (which often includes a transient worsening of headache) may be necessary.
17 Patient Counseling Information (17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION)
Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Medication Guide and Instructions for Use).
2.2 Assessment Prior to First Dose
Prior to initiation of ATZUMI, a cardiovascular evaluation is recommended [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. For patients with risk factors predictive of coronary artery disease who are determined to have a satisfactory cardiovascular evaluation, it is strongly recommended that administration of the first dose of ATZUMI take place in the setting of an equipped healthcare facility.
7.6 Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors
Weakness, hyperreflexia, and incoordination have been reported rarely when 5-HT1 agonists have been co-administered with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (e.g., fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline).
5.4 Other Vasospasm Related Adverse Reactions
ATZUMI, like other ergot alkaloids, may cause vasospastic reactions other than coronary artery vasospasm. Myocardial, peripheral vascular, and colonic ischemia have been reported with dihydroergotamine.
Dihydroergotamine associated vasospastic phenomena may also cause muscle pains, numbness, coldness, pallor, and cyanosis of the digits. In patients with compromised circulation, persistent vasospasm may result in gangrene or death. ATZUMI should be discontinued immediately if signs or symptoms of vasoconstriction develop.
Patients who experience other symptoms or signs suggestive of decreased arterial flow, such as ischemic bowel syndrome or Raynaud's syndrome, following the use of any 5-HT1 agonist, including ATZUMI, should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.

5.3 Cerebrovascular Adverse Reactions and Fatalities
The potential for adverse cerebrovascular adverse reactions exists with ATZUMI treatment. Cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, stroke, and other cerebrovascular events have been reported in patients treated with dihydroergotamine; and some have resulted in fatalities. In a number of cases, it appears possible that the cerebrovascular events were primary, the dihydroergotamine having been administered in the incorrect belief that the symptoms experienced were a consequence of migraine, when they were not. It should be noted that patients with migraine may be at increased risk of certain cerebrovascular events (e.g., stroke, hemorrhage, transient ischemic attack).
Discontinue ATZUMI if a cerebrovascular event is suspected.
5.1 Peripheral Ischemia Following Coadministration With Strong Cyp3a4 Inhibitors (5.1 Peripheral Ischemia Following Coadministration with Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors)
Serious and/or life-threatening peripheral ischemia has been associated with the coadministration of dihydroergotamine with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, including protease inhibitors, macrolide antibiotics, and antifungals. Because CYP3A4 inhibition elevates the serum levels of dihydroergotamine, the risk for vasospasm leading to cerebral ischemia and/or ischemia of the extremities is increased. Hence, concomitant use of ATZUMI with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors is contraindicated [see Contraindications (4) and Drug Interactions (7.1)].
Warning: Peripheral Ischemia Following Coadministration With Strong Cyp3a4 Inhibitors (WARNING: PERIPHERAL ISCHEMIA FOLLOWING COADMINISTRATION WITH STRONG CYP3A4 INHIBITORS)
Serious and/or life-threatening peripheral ischemia has been associated with the coadministration of dihydroergotamine with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. Because CYP3A4 inhibition elevates the serum levels of dihydroergotamine, the risk for vasospasm leading to cerebral ischemia and/or ischemia of the extremities is increased. Hence, concomitant use of ATZUMI with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors is contraindicated [see Contraindications (4), Warnings and Precautions (5.1), and Drug Interactions (7.1)].
5.2 Myocardial Ischemia And/or Infarction, Other Cardiac Adverse Reactions, and Fatalities (5.2 Myocardial Ischemia and/or Infarction, Other Cardiac Adverse Reactions, and Fatalities)
The potential for cardiac adverse reactions exists with ATZUMI treatment. Serious adverse cardiac events, including some that have been fatal, have occurred following use of dihydroergotamine. These events have included acute myocardial infarction, life-threatening disturbances of cardiac rhythm (e.g., ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation), coronary artery vasospasm, and transient myocardial ischemia.
Prior to initiation of ATZUMI, a cardiovascular evaluation is recommended to determine if the patient is free of coronary artery and ischemic myocardial disease or other significant underlying cardiovascular disease. If, during the cardiovascular evaluation, the patient's medical history (including risk factors), or electrocardiographic investigation, findings are consistent with coronary artery vasospasm or myocardial ischemia, ATZUMI should not be administered [see Contraindications (4)].
For patients with risk factors predictive of coronary artery disease (e.g., hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, smoker, obesity, diabetes, strong family history of coronary artery disease, females who are surgically or physiologically postmenopausal, or males who are over 40 years of age) who are determined to have a satisfactory cardiovascular evaluation, it is strongly recommended that administration of the first dose of ATZUMI take place in the setting of an equipped healthcare facility, unless the patient has previously received dihydroergotamine. During the interval immediately following the first use of ATZUMI, an electrocardiogram is recommended in those patients with risk factors because ischemia can occur in the absence of clinical symptoms.
