IDkit HP ONE

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Reactions: Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported in patients using IDkit Hp. Institute appropriate supportive measures if an allergic reaction occurs. ( 5.1 ) Phenylketonuria: Citrica (citric acid) for oral solution, a component in the IDkit Hp, contains phenylalanine which can be harmful to patients with phenylketonuria. ( 5.2 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported in patients who have used the IDkit Hp One and IDkit Hp Two for H. pylori diagnostic testing [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )] . The IDkit Hp One and IDkit Hp Two are contraindicated in patients with known history of hypersensitivity to 13 C-urea, Citrica (citric acid) or the excipients [see Contraindications ( 4 )] . Before administering the IDkit Hp One or IDkit Hp Two, carefully inquire about previous hypersensitivity reactions. 5.2 Risks in Patients with Phenylketonuria Phenylalanine can be harmful to patients with phenylketonuria (PKU). In IDkit Hp One and IDkit Hp Two, the Citrica (citric acid) for oral solution contains phenylalanine, a component of aspartame. Each 4 g packet of Citrica (citric acid) for oral solution contains 84 mg of phenylalanine. Before prescribing IDkit Hp One or IDkit Hp Two to a patient with PKU, consider the combined daily amount of phenylalanine from all sources, including IDkit Hp One or IDkit Hp Two.

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in the Warning and Precautions section of the labeling: Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warning and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Adult Patients: The most common adverse reactions (incidence >0.3%) using the IDkit Hp included nausea, throat burning, and lightheadedness. ( 6.1 ) Pediatric Patients: The most common adverse reactions (incidence >1.5%) using the IDkit Hp included vomiting.

Clinical Trials Experience and Adverse Reactions in Adult Patients The safety of the IDkit Hp was evaluated in 465 adult patients who participated in two clinical trials (Trial 1 and Trial 2). All patients used the IDkit Hp Two kit for initial diagnosis and post-treatment monitoring of H. pylori infection. The most commonly observed adverse reactions associated with the use of the IDkit Hp were nausea (0.6%), throat burning (0.4%), and lightheadedness (0.4%). Clinical Trials Experience and Adverse Reactions in Pediatric Patients The safety of the IDkit Hp was evaluated in one multi-center, non-randomized, open-label study (Trial 3). A total of 53 pediatric patients, 3 to less than 18 years of age, were enrolled in the study and used the IDkit Hp Two. The only adverse reaction reported was vomiting (2%). 6.2 Post-marketing Experience In addition to adverse reactions reported from clinical trials, the following adverse reactions have been identified during post-marketing use of the IDkit Hp One and IDkit Hp Two based on patient and test administrator reports. 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. Gastrointestinal: Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea General: Sweating, throat pain, malaise Immune: Anaphylactic reaction Neurologic: Dizziness, headache
