( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc. at 1-866-403-7592 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 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 safety of Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets was evaluated in two randomized, investigator-blinded, active controlled trials in 931 adult patients undergoing elective colonoscopy. The mean age of the study population was 60 years (range 20 to 89 years), 88% of patients were Caucasian and 55% were female [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Table 1 shows the most common adverse reactions reported in greater than 3% of patients by treatment group in Study 1 [see Clinical Studies (14) ]. Since diarrhea was considered as a part of the efficacy of Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets, diarrhea was not defined as an adverse event in this clinical trial. 1 Reported in more than 3% of patients in at least one treatment group 2 Another oral formulation of monobasic sodium phosphate and dibasic sodium phosphate Table 1: Common Adverse Reactions 1 in Patients Undergoing Colonoscopy in Study 1 Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets 32 tabs (48 g) N=272 Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets 40 tabs (60 g) N=265 Sodium Phosphate2 40 tabs (60 g) N=268 Bloating 31% 39% 41% Nausea 26% 37% 30% Abdominal Pain 23% 24% 25% Vomiting 4% 10% 9% Electrolyte Abnormalities in Study 1 Hyperphosphatemia A total of, 96%, 96%, and 93% of patients who took 60 grams of oral sodium phosphate, 60 grams of Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets, and 48 grams of Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets, respectively, developed hyperphosphatemia (defined as phosphate level > 5.1 mg/dL) on the day of the colonoscopy. In this study, patients who took 60 grams of oral sodium phosphate, 60 grams of Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets, and 48 grams of Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets had baseline mean phosphate levels of 3.5, 3.5, and 3.6 mg/dL and subsequently developed mean phosphate levels of 7.6, 7.9, and 7.1 mg/dL, respectively, on the day of the colonoscopy. Hyperkalemia A total of 20%, 22%, and 18% of patients who took 60 grams of oral sodium phosphate, 60 grams of Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets, and 48 grams of Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets, respectively, developed hypokalemia (defined as a potassium level < 3.4 mEq/L) on the day of the colonoscopy. In this study, patients who took 60 grams of oral sodium phosphate, 60 grams of Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets, and 48 grams of Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets all had baseline potassium levels of about 4.3 mEq/L and then developed a mean potassium level of 3.7 mEq/L on the day of the colonoscopy. Several patients on all three sodium phosphate regimens developed hypocalcemia and hypernatremia that did not require treatment. The Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets 60-gram dosage regimen was associated with an increased risk of adverse reactions compared to the 48- gram dosage regimen and a similar overall response rate [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Therefore, the Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets 60-gram dosage is not a recommended regimen [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ]. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of unknown size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Hypersensitivity reactions : anaphylaxis, angioedema (swelling of the lips, tongue and face), rash, pruritus, urticaria, throat tightness, bronchospasm, dyspnea, pharyngeal edema, dysphagia, and paresthesia. Cardiovascular: Arrhythmias Nervous system: Seizures Renal: Renal impairment, increased blood urea nitrogen (BUN), increased creatinine, acute renal failure, acute phosphate nephropathy, nephrocalcinosis, and renal tubular necrosis.

Clinical Pharmacology

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action The primary mode of action is the osmotic effect of sodium, which induces a laxative effect. The physiological consequence is increased water retention in the lumen of the colon, resulting in loose stools. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Administration of the recommended Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets dosage regimen has a purgative effect for approximately 1 to 3 hours. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Pharmacokinetic studies with Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets have not been conducted. However, the following pharmacokinetic study was conducted with another oral tablet formulation of sodium phosphate which contain the same active ingredients as Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets at a dose that is 25% greater than the Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets dose. Absorption An open-label pharmacokinetic study of oral sodium phosphate in healthy subjects was performed to determine the concentration-time profile of serum inorganic phosphorus levels after oral sodium phosphate administration. All subjects received the approved dosing regimen for colon cleansing of 60 grams of sodium phosphate with a total liquid volume of 3.6 quarts. A 30-gram dose (20 tablets given as 3 tablets every 15 minutes with 8 ounces of clear liquids) was given beginning at 6 PM in the evening. The 30-gram dose (20 tablets given as 3 tablets every 15 minutes with 8 ounces of clear liquids) was repeated the following morning beginning at 6 AM. Twenty-three healthy subjects (mean age 57 years old; 57% male and 43% female; and 65% Hispanic, 30% Caucasian, and 4% African-American) participated in this pharmacokinetic study. The serum phosphorus level rose from a mean (± standard deviation) baseline of 4.0 (± 0.7) mg/dL to 7.7 (± 1.6 mg/dL), at a median of 3 hours after the administration of the first 30-gram dose of sodium phosphate tablets (see Figure 1 ). The serum phosphorus level rose to a mean of 8.4 (± 1.9) mg/dL, at a median of 4 hours after the administration of the second 30-gram dose of sodium phosphate tablets. The serum phosphorus level remained above baseline for a median of 24 hours after the administration of the initial dose of sodium phosphate tablets (range 16 to 48 hours). Figure 1. Mean (±Standard Deviation) Serum Phosphorus Concentrations The upper (4.5 mg/dL) and lower (2.6 mg/dL) reference limits for serum phosphate are represented by solid bars. Specific Populations Male and Female Patients : No difference in serum phosphate AUC values were observed in the single pharmacokinetic study conducted with sodium phosphate tablets in 13 male and 10 female healthy subjects. Elderly Patients : In a single pharmacokinetic study of sodium phosphate tablets, which included 6 elderly subjects, plasma half-life increased two-fold in subjects > 70 years of age compared to subjects < 50 years of age (3 subjects and 5 subjects, respectively) [see Use in Specific Populations (8.5) ] . Patients with Renal Impairment : The effect of renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets has not been studied. The inorganic form of phosphate in the circulating plasma is excreted almost entirely by the kidneys [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , Use in Specific Populations (8.6) ]. graph

Clinical Studies

14 CLINICAL STUDIES The colon cleansing efficacy and safety of Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets was evaluated in a randomized, investigator-blinded, actively controlled, multicenter, U.S. trial in patients scheduled to have an elective colonoscopy (Study 1). In Study 1, patients were randomized into one of the following three sodium phosphate treatment groups: An oral tablet formulation of sodium phosphate containing 60 grams of sodium phosphate given in split doses (30 grams in the evening before the colonoscopy and 30 grams on the next day) with at least 3.6 quarts of clear liquids; Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets containing 60 grams of sodium phosphate given in split doses (30 grams in the evening before the colonoscopy and 30 grams on the next day) with 2.5 quarts of clear liquids; and Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets containing 48 grams of sodium phosphate (30 grams in the evening before the colonoscopy and 18 grams on the next day) with 2 quarts of clear liquids. Patients were instructed to eat a light breakfast before noon on the day prior to the colonoscopy and then were told to drink only clear liquids after noon on the day prior to the colonoscopy. The primary efficacy endpoint was the overall colon cleansing response rate in the 4-point Colonic Contents Scale. Response was defined as a rating of "excellent" or "good" on the 4-point scale as determined by the blinded colonoscopist. This trial was designed to assess the non-inferiority of the two Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets groups compared to the active control group. The efficacy analysis included 704 adult patients who had an elective colonoscopy. Patients ranged in age from 21 to 89 years old (mean age 56 years old) with 55% female and 45% male patients. Race was distributed as follows: 87% Caucasian, 10% African American, and 3% other race. The Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets 60-gram and 48-gram treatment groups demonstrated non-inferiority compared to the active control. See Table 2 for the results. 1Colon cleansing efficacy was based on response rate to treatment. A patient was considered to be a responder if overall colon cleansing was rated as "excellent" or "good" on a 4-point scale based on the amount of retained "colonic contents". Excellent was defined as >90% of mucosa seen, mostly liquid stool, minimal suctioning needed for adequate visualization. Good was defined as >90% of mucosa seen, mostly liquid stool, significant suctioning needed for adequate visualization. Fair was defined as >90% of mucosa seen, mixture of liquid and semisolid stool, could be suctioned and/or washed. Inadequate was defined as <90% of mucosa seen, mixture of semisolid and solid stool which could not be suctioned or washed. 2On the day of the colonoscopy, study medication was taken 3 to 5 hours before the start of the colonoscopy.

Therefore, the Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets 60-gram dosage is not a recommended regimen [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ].

Geriatric Use

8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 599 patients in clinical trials receiving at least 48 grams of Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets, 134 (22%) were 65 years of age or older, while 27 (5%) were 75 years of age or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between geriatric patients and younger patients. However, the mean phosphate levels in geriatric patients were greater than the phosphate levels in younger patients after Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets administration. The mean colonoscopy-day phosphate levels in patients 18-64, 65-74, and ≥ 75 years old who received the recommended Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets dosage regimen in Study 1were 7.0, 7.3, and 8.0 mg/dL, respectively. After Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets administration, the mean phosphate levels in patients 18-64, 65-74, and ≥ 75 years old were 7.4, 7.9, and 8.0 mg/dL, respectively. Greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out; therefore, use Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets with caution in geriatric patients. Advise geriatric patients to adequately hydrate before, during, and after the use of Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets. Sodium phosphate is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of adverse reactions with sodium phosphate may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Since geriatric patients are more likely to have impaired renal function, consider performing baseline and post-colonoscopy labs (phosphate, calcium, potassium, sodium, creatinine, and BUN) in these patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ].

Pediatric Use

8.4 Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on sodium phosphate use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk for adverse developmental outcomes. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with sodium phosphate. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.

Use In Specific Populations

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on sodium phosphate use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk for adverse developmental outcomes. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with sodium phosphate. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data available to assess the presence of sodium phosphate in human milk, the effects of the drug on the breastfed infant, or the effects of the drug on milk production. The lack of clinical data during lactation precludes a clear determination of the risk of Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets to a child during lactation; therefore, the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets or from the underlying maternal condition. 8.4 Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established. 8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 599 patients in clinical trials receiving at least 48 grams of Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets, 134 (22%) were 65 years of age or older, while 27 (5%) were 75 years of age or older.

Advise geriatric patients to adequately hydrate before, during, and after the use of Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets. Sodium phosphate is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of adverse reactions with sodium phosphate may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Since geriatric patients are more likely to have impaired renal function, consider performing baseline and post-colonoscopy labs (phosphate, calcium, potassium, sodium, creatinine, and BUN) in these patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. 8.6 Renal Impairment Sodium phosphate is substantially excreted by the kidney. Use Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets with caution in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/min) or patients taking concomitant medications that may affect renal function. These patients may be at risk for renal injury. Advise these patients of the importance of adequate hydration before, during and after the use of Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets, and consider performing baseline and post-colonoscopy labs (phosphate, calcium, potassium, sodium, creatinine, and BUN) in these patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , Drug Interactions (7.1) ] .

Boxed Warning

BOXED WARNING WARNING: ACUTE PHOSPHATE NEPHROPATHY There have been rare, but serious reports of acute phosphate nephropathy in patients who received oral sodium phosphate products, including Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets, for colon cleansing prior to colonoscopy. Some cases have resulted in permanent impairment of renal function and some patients required long-term dialysis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . While some cases have occurred in patients without identifiable risk factors, patients at increased risk of acute phosphate nephropathy may include those with increased age, hypovolemia, increased bowel transit time (such as bowel obstruction), active colitis, or baseline kidney disease, and those using medicines that affect renal perfusion or function (such as diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme [ACE] inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers [ARBs], and possibly nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs]) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. Advise patients of the importance of following the recommended split dosage regimen and the importance of adequate hydration before, during and after the use of Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Tablets.
