(see data). the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. in the u.s. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. clinical considerations disease-associated maternal and/or embryo/fetal risk appropriate weight gain based on pre-pregnancy weight is currently recommended for all pregnant patients, including those who are already overweight or obese, due to the obligatory weight gain that occurs in maternal tissues during pregnancy. data human data in clinical studies, 21 (0.7%) of 3,024 women became pregnant while taking contrave: 11 carried to term and gave birth to a healthy infant, three had elective abortions, four had spontaneous abortions, and the outcome of three pregnancies were unknown. data from the international bupropion pregnancy registry (675 first trimester exposures) and a retrospective cohort study using the united healthcare database (1,213 first trimester exposures) did not show an increased risk for malformations overall. no increased risk for cardiovascular malformations overall has been observed after bupropion exposure during the first trimester. the prospectively observed rate of cardiovascular malformations in pregnancies with exposure to bupropion in the first trimester from the international pregnancy registry was 1.3% (9 cardiovascular malformations out of 675 first-trimester maternal bupropion exposures), which is similar to the background rate of cardiovascular malformations (approximately 1%). data from the united healthcare database and a case-control study (6,853 infants with cardiovascular malformations and 5,763 with non-cardiovascular malformations) from the national birth defects prevention study (nbdps) did not show an increased risk for cardiovascular malformations overall after bupropion exposure during the first trimester. study findings on bupropion exposure during the first trimester and risk for left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (lvoto) are inconsistent and do not allow conclusions regarding a possible association. the united healthcare database lacked sufficient power to evaluate this association; the nbdps found increased risk for lvoto (n = 10; adjusted odds ratio [or] = 2.6; 95% ci: 1.2, 5.7), and the slone epidemiology case control study did not find increased risk for lvoto. study findings on bupropion exposure during the first trimester and risk for ventricular septal defect (vsd) are inconsistent and do not allow conclusions regarding a possible association. the slone epidemiology study found an increased risk for vsd following first trimester maternal bupropion exposure (n = 17; adjusted or = 2.5; 95% ci: 1.3, 5.0) but did not find increased risk for any other cardiovascular malformations studied (including lvoto as above). the nbdps and united healthcare database study did not find an association between first trimester maternal bupropion exposure and vsd. for the findings of lvoto and vsd, the studies were limited by the small number of exposed cases, inconsistent findings among studies, and the potential for chance findings from multiple comparisons in case control studies. animal data reproduction and developmental studies have not been conducted for the combined products naltrexone and bupropion in contrave. separate studies with bupropion and naltrexone have been conducted in pregnant rats and rabbits. safety margins were estimated using body surface area exposure (mg/m2 ) based on a body weight of 100 kg. daily oral administration of naltrexone has been shown to increase the incidence of early fetal loss when given to rats at doses ≥30 mg/kg/day (15 times the mhrd on a mg/m2 basis) and to rabbits at oral doses ≥60 mg/kg/day (60 times the mhrd on a mg/m2 basis). daily oral administration of naltrexone to rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis did not induce malformations at doses up to 200 mg/kg/day (approximately 100 and 200 times the mhrd, respectively, on a mg/m2 basis). rats do not form appreciable quantities of the major human metabolite, 6-beta-naltrexol; therefore, the potential reproductive toxicity of the metabolite in rats is not known. in studies conducted in pregnant rats and rabbits, bupropion was administered orally during the period of organogenesis at doses of up to 450 and 150 mg/kg/day, respectively (approximately 20 and 14 times the mrhd, respectively, on a mg/m2 basis). there was no evidence of fetal malformations in rats. when given to pregnant rabbits during organogenesis, non-dose-related increases in incidence of fetal malformations and skeletal variations were observed at the lowest dose tested (25 mg/kg/day, approximately 2 times the mrhd on a mg/m2 basis) and greater. decreased fetal weights were observed at doses of 50 mg/kg/day (approximately 5 times the mrhd on a mg/m2 basis) and greater. no maternal toxicity was evident at doses of 50 mg/kg/day or less. in a pre- and postnatal development study, bupropion administered orally to pregnant rats at doses of up to 150 mg/kg/day (approximately 7 times the mrhd on a mg/m2 basis) from embryonic implantation through lactation had no effect on pup growth or development. risk summary data from published literature report the presence of bupropion and its metabolites in human milk. limited data from postmarketing reports with bupropion use during lactation have not identified a clear association of adverse effects on a breastfed infant (see data). naltrexone and its major metabolite, 6β-naltrexol, are present in human milk. there are no data on bupropion, naltrexone, or their metabolites on milk production. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for contrave and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from contrave or from the mother's underlying condition. data in a lactation study of ten women, levels of orally dosed bupropion and its active metabolites were measured in expressed milk. the average daily infant exposure (assuming 150 ml/kg daily consumption) to bupropion and its active metabolites was 2% of the maternal weight-adjusted dose. postmarketing reports have described seizures in breastfed infants. the relationship of bupropion exposure and these seizures is unclear. the safety and effectiveness of contrave in pediatric patients below the age of 18 have not been established and the use of contrave is not recommended in pediatric patients. of the 3,239 subjects who participated in clinical trials with contrave, 62 (2%) were 65 years and older and none were 75 years and older. clinical studies of contrave did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. older individuals may be more sensitive to the central nervous system adverse effects of contrave. naltrexone and bupropion are known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of adverse reactions to contrave may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function. contrave should be used with caution in patients over 65 years of age. in a pharmacokinetic study conducted for contrave in subjects with renal impairment (mild, moderate and severe), exposure to naltrexone metabolite, 6-beta naltrexol, and bupropion metabolites, threohydrobupropion, and erythrohydrobupropion was increased. therefore, the maximum recommended daily maintenance dose for contrave is two tablets (one tablet each morning and evening) in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment. contrave is not recommended for use in patients with end-stage renal disease [see dosage and administration (2.2) and clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . in a pharmacokinetic study conducted for contrave in subjects with hepatic impairment (mild, moderate, and severe), exposure to naltrexone, bupropion, and their metabolites were increased. therefore, the maximum recommended daily maintenance dose of contrave is two tablets (one tablet each morning and evening) in patients with moderate hepatic impairment. contrave is not recommended for use in patients with severe hepatic impairment [see dosage and administration (2.3) and clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . humans contrave has not been systematically studied in humans for its potential for abuse, tolerance, or physical dependence. however, in outpatient clinical studies of up to 56 weeks in duration, there was no evidence of euphoric drug intoxication, physical dependence, diversion, or abuse. there was no evidence of an abstinence syndrome following abrupt or tapered drug discontinuation after 56 weeks of double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized treatment. naltrexone is a pure opioid antagonist. it does not lead to physical or psychological dependence. tolerance to the opioid antagonistic effect is not known to occur. controlled clinical trials of bupropion (immediate-release formulation) conducted in normal volunteers, in subjects with a history of multiple drug abuse, and in depressed subjects showed some increase in motor activity and agitation/excitement. in a population of individuals experienced with drugs of abuse, a single dose of 400 mg of bupropion produced mild amphetamine-like activity as compared with placebo on the morphine-benzedrine subscale of the addiction research center inventories (arci) and a score intermediate between placebo and amphetamine on the liking scale of the arci. these scales measure general feelings of euphoria and drug desirability. findings in clinical trials, however, are not known to reliably predict the abuse potential of drugs. nonetheless, evidence from single-dose studies does suggest that the recommended daily dosage of bupropion when administered in divided doses is not likely to be significantly reinforcing to amphetamine or cns stimulant abusers. the inhalation of crushed tablets or injection of dissolved bupropion has been reported. seizures and/or cases of death have been reported when bupropion has been administered intranasally or by parenteral injection. contrave (naltrexone hcl and bupropion hcl) extended-release tablets are intended for oral use only. animals studies in rodents and primates have shown that bupropion exhibits some pharmacologic actions common to psychostimulants. in rodents, it has been shown to increase locomotor activity, elicit a mild stereotyped behavioral response, and increased rates of responding in several schedule-controlled behavior paradigms. in primate models assessing the positive reinforcing effects of psychoactive drugs, bupropion was self-administered intravenously. in rats, bupropion produced amphetamine-like and cocaine-like discriminative stimulus effects in drug discrimination paradigms used to characterize the subjective effects of psychoactive drugs.
