Each 200 mg vial must be reconstituted with Sterile Water for Injection and subsequently diluted with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or 5% Dextrose Injection, USP. SIVEXTRO vials contain no antimicrobial preservatives and are intended for single dose only. Discard any unused portion. Preparation of SIVEXTRO for Injection Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. The contents of the vial should be reconstituted using aseptic technique as follows: Note: To minimize foaming, AVOID vigorous agitation or shaking of the vial during or after reconstitution. For Adults and Pediatric Patients Weighing at Least 35 kg: Reconstitute the SIVEXTRO vial with 4 mL of Sterile Water for Injection to provide a concentration of 50 mg/mL in each vial. Gently swirl the contents and let the vial stand until the cake has completely dissolved and any foam disperses. Inspect the vial to ensure the solution contains no particulate matter and no cake or powder remains attached to the sides of the vial. If necessary, invert the vial to dissolve any remaining powder and swirl gently to prevent foaming. The reconstituted solution is clear and colorless to pale-yellow in color; the total time from reconstitution to the end of administration should not exceed 24 hours at either room temperature or under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Tilt the upright vial and insert a syringe with appropriately sized needle into the bottom corner of the vial and remove 4 mL of the reconstituted solution for the 200 mg dose. Do not invert the vial during extraction. The reconstituted solution must be further diluted in 250 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or 5% Dextrose Injection, USP. Slowly inject the required volume of reconstituted solution as determined in Step 2 into a 250 mL bag of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or 5% Dextrose Injection, USP. Invert the bag gently to mix. Do NOT shake the bag as this may cause foaming. For Pediatric Patients Weighing Less than 35 kg: Reconstitute the SIVEXTRO vial with 4 mL of Sterile Water for Injection to provide a concentration of 50 mg/mL in each vial. Gently swirl the contents and let the vial stand until the cake has completely dissolved and any foam disperses. Inspect the vial to ensure the solution contains no particulate matter and no cake or powder remains attached to the sides of the vial. If necessary, invert the vial to dissolve any remaining powder and swirl gently to prevent foaming. The reconstituted solution is clear and colorless to pale-yellow in color; the total time from reconstitution to the end of administration should not exceed 24 hours at either room temperature or under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Prepare a stock solution (100 mL of 0.8 mg/mL tedizolid phosphate): Tilt the upright vial and insert a syringe with appropriately sized needle into the bottom corner of the vial and remove 1.6 mL of the reconstituted solution and add it to an infusion bag containing 98.4 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or 5% Dextrose Injection, USP. Do not invert the vial during extraction. Prepare the required volume of stock solution for infusion: Refer to Table 4 to convert the dose in mg to the appropriate volume of stock solution to be administered. Transfer this volume of stock solution to an adequately sized infusion bag or infusion syringe. It may be necessary to round to the nearest graduation mark of an appropriately sized syringe for smaller volumes. The total time from reconstitution to the end of administration should not exceed 24 hours at either room temperature or under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F).

Do not administer as an intravenous push or bolus. Do not mix SIVEXTRO for Injection with other drugs when administering. It is not intended for intra-arterial, intramuscular, intrathecal, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous administration. The intravenous bag containing the reconstituted and diluted intravenous solution should be inspected visually for particulate matter prior to administration. Discard if visible particles are observed. The resulting solution is clear and colorless to pale-yellow in color. After reconstitution and dilution, SIVEXTRO for Injection is to be administered via intravenous infusion using a total time of 1 hour. The total time from reconstitution to the end of administration of SIVEXTRO for Injection should not exceed 24 hours at either room temperature or under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Discard unused portion. 2.6 Compatible Intravenous Solutions SIVEXTRO is compatible with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP and 5% Dextrose Injection, USP. Limited data are available on the compatibility of SIVEXTRO for Injection with other intravenous substances, additives or other medications and they should not be added to SIVEXTRO single-dose vials or infused simultaneously. If the same intravenous line is used for sequential infusion of several different drugs, the line should be flushed before and after infusion of SIVEXTRO with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP. 2.7 Incompatibilities SIVEXTRO for Injection is incompatible with any solution containing divalent cations (e.g., Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ ), including Lactated Ringer’s Injection and Hartmann’s Solution.

Warnings & Precautions
Patients with neutropenia: The safety and efficacy of SIVEXTRO in patients with neutropenia (neutrophil counts <1000 cells/mm 3 ) have not been adequately evaluated. In an animal model of infection, the antibacterial activity of SIVEXTRO was reduced in the absence of granulocytes. Consider alternative therapies in neutropenic patients. ( 5.1 ) Clostridioides difficile -associated diarrhea: Evaluate if diarrhea occurs. ( 5.2 ) 5.1 Patients with Neutropenia The safety and efficacy of SIVEXTRO in patients with neutropenia (neutrophil counts <1000 cells/mm 3 ) have not been adequately evaluated. In an animal model of infection, the antibacterial activity of SIVEXTRO was reduced in the absence of granulocytes [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . Alternative therapies should be considered when treating patients with neutropenia and ABSSSI. 5.2 Clostridioides difficile -Associated Diarrhea Clostridioides difficile -associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported for nearly all systemic antibacterial agents including SIVEXTRO, with severity ranging from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. Treatment with antibacterial agents can alter the normal flora of the colon and may permit overgrowth of C. difficile . C. difficile produces toxins A and B which contribute to the development of CDAD. Hypertoxin producing strains of C. difficile cause increased morbidity and mortality, as these infections can be refractory to antibacterial therapy and may require colectomy. CDAD must be considered in all patients who present with diarrhea following antibacterial drug use. Careful medical history is necessary because CDAD has been reported to occur more than two months after the administration of antibacterial agents. If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, antibacterial use not directed against C. difficile should be discontinued, if possible. Appropriate measures such as fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibacterial treatment of C. difficile , and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated. 5.3 Development of Drug-Resistant Bacteria Prescribing SIVEXTRO in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or prophylactic indication is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increases the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria.

Clinical Trials Experience in Adult Patients Adverse reactions were evaluated for 1425 adult patients treated with SIVEXTRO in two Phase 2 and four Phase 3 clinical trials (three Phase 3 trials for 6 days of therapy and one Phase 3 trial for 7-21 days of therapy). The median age of adult patients treated with SIVEXTRO in the Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials was 44 years, ranging between 17 and 94 years old. The majority of adult patients treated with SIVEXTRO were male (66%) and White (67%). Serious Adverse Reactions and Adverse Reactions Leading to Discontinuation in Adults Serious adverse reactions occurred in 37/1425 (2.6%) of adult patients treated with SIVEXTRO and in 25/1000 (2.5%) of adult patients treated with the comparator. SIVEXTRO was discontinued due to an adverse reaction in 14/1425 (1%) of adult patients and the comparator was discontinued due to an adverse reaction in 13/1000 (1.3%) of adult patients. Most Common Adverse Reactions in Adults The most common adverse reactions in adult patients treated with SIVEXTRO were nausea (7.1%), headache (4.5%), diarrhea (3.6%), vomiting (2.7%), and dizziness (1.6%). The median time of onset of adverse reactions was 5 days for both SIVEXTRO and linezolid with 12% occurring on the second day of treatment in both treatment groups. Table 5 lists selected adverse reactions occurring in at least 2% of adult patients treated with SIVEXTRO in clinical trials.

In the Phase 3 trials, clinically significant changes in these parameters were generally similar for both treatment arms (see Table 6 ). In postmarketing experience, thrombocytopenia has been reported in patients treated with SIVEXTRO. In one postmarketing report, patients who experienced thrombocytopenia were treated with tedizolid for a median duration of 26.5 days. A duration of treatment beyond 6 days is not approved . Peripheral and Optic Neuropathy Peripheral and optic neuropathy have been described in patients treated with another member of the oxazolidinone class for longer than 28 days. In Phase 3 trials in adults, reported adverse reactions for peripheral neuropathy and optic nerve disorders were similar between both treatment arms (peripheral neuropathy 1.2% vs. 0.7% for tedizolid phosphate and linezolid, respectively; optic nerve disorders 0.3% vs. 0.1%, respectively). Clinical Trials Experience in Pediatric Patients SIVEXTRO was evaluated in 166 pediatric patients with ABSSSI in two randomized, active-controlled clinical trials, including one in patients aged 12 years to less than 18 years and one in patients aged 4 months to less than 12 years (Pediatric Trial 1 and Pediatric Trial 2, respectively). Additionally, SIVEXTRO was evaluated in 47 pediatric patients less than 2 years of age with a suspected or confirmed gram-positive bacterial infection in an open-label clinical trial (pediatric Trial 3). Pediatric Trial 1 Adverse Reactions Pediatric Trial 1 was a randomized, active-controlled, single-blind clinical trial that enrolled pediatric patients aged 12 to less than 18 years with ABSSSI. A total of 91 pediatric patients were treated with IV and/or oral SIVEXTRO 200 mg for 6 days and 29 patients were treated with a comparator agent for 10 days. The majority of pediatric patients treated with SIVEXTRO were male (64%) and white (88%). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 1/91 (1%) of pediatric patients treated with SIVEXTRO and in none of the 29 patients treated with the comparator. Adverse reactions leading to discontinuation occurred in 1 (1%) pediatric patient in the SIVEXTRO arm and in none in the comparator arm. The most common adverse reactions occurring in those receiving SIVEXTRO in Pediatric Trial 1 were phlebitis (3%), increased hepatic transaminases (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase) (3%), anemia (1%), and vomiting (1%).

The oral suspension formulation (currently not an approved formulation) was used in the clinical trial for those receiving oral therapy [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ]. The majority of patients treated with SIVEXTRO were male (53%) and white (77%), with a median age of 7 years and range of 0.3 to 11 years. The most common adverse reactions occurring in >2% of patients receiving SIVEXTRO in Pediatric Trial 2 were infusion- or injection-related adverse reactions (including catheter site pain, catheter occlusion, infusion site extravasation, phlebitis; 5%), and vomiting (4%). Potentially clinically significant laboratory abnormalities in Pediatric Trial 2 included one patient treated with SIVEXTRO who developed thrombocytopenia with platelet count less than 100 × 10 3 /mm 3 . Pediatric Trial 3 Pediatric Trial 3 was an open-label, pharmacokinetic and safety trial enrolling 47 pediatric patients less than 2 years of age as follows: ages 28 days to less than 2 years (N=14), term neonates from birth to less than 28 days (N=16), and pre-term neonates (gestational age ≥ 26 weeks) from birth to less than 28 days (N=17). In this single-arm trial, 39 patients aged less than 2 years with a suspected or confirmed gram-positive bacterial infection received a single-dose of IV or oral SIVEXTRO and 8 patients aged less than 28 days with a suspected or confirmed gram-positive bacterial infection received multiple doses of IV SIVEXTRO for 3 days. The majority of patients were male (62%) and white (55%), with a median age of 16 days (range 1 day to 608 days). The safety profile observed in this pediatric population was similar to that observed in Pediatric Trials 1 and 2. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of SIVEXTRO. 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. Blood and Lymphatic System Disorders : thrombocytopenia

Drug Interactions

Orally administered SIVEXTRO inhibits Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) in the intestine, which can increase the plasma concentrations of orally administered BCRP substrates, and the potential for adverse reactions. If possible, an interruption in the treatment of the co-administered BCRP substrate medicinal product should be considered during treatment with SIVEXTRO, especially for BCRP substrates with a narrow therapeutic index (e.g., methotrexate or topotecan). If coadministration cannot be avoided, monitor for adverse reactions related to the concomitantly administered BCRP substrates, including rosuvastatin. [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) .] SIVEXTRO (when administered orally) can increase the plasma concentrations of orally administered Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) substrates. Monitor for adverse reactions related to the concomitant BCRP substrates if coadministration cannot be avoided. ( 7 , 12.3 )
