Section 4.1 Therapeutic indications

 

·        The individual populations that Neoclarityn is indicated for has been added to the text

- allergic rhinitis (see section 5.1)

- urticaria (see section 5.1)

 

Section 4.2 Posology and method of administration

 

·        The following text has been added to the beginning of section 4.2:

Posology

Neoclarityn may be taken without regard to mealtime for the relief of symptoms associated with

allergic rhinitis (including intermittent and persistent allergic rhinitis) and urticaria (see section 5.1).

Adults and adolescents 12 years of age and over

The recommended dose of Neoclarityn is 10 ml (5mg) oral solution once a day.

 

Paediatric population

 

·        A small section  of text has been deleted and the information changed to clarify the efficacy of use in children below the age of 1

The safety and efficacy of Neoclarityn 0.5 mg/ml oral solution in children below the age of 1 year have not been established. No data are available.

Adults and adolescents (12 years of age and over)

In adults and adolescents (12 years of age and over): The recommended dose of Neoclarityn is 10 ml

(5 mg) Neoclarityn oral solution once a day.

 

·        The age of children from 1 through to 11 years of age has also been added subjects that there are limited clinical trial experience with.;

 

 

·        The title Method of administrationhas been added at the end of the section with the following information underneath

 

Oral use.

The dose can be taken with or without food.

 

Section 4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use

 

·        The following sentence has been removed from the beginning of this section of text as it has been moved to section 4.2

Efficacy and safety of Neoclarityn oral solution in children under 1 year of age have not been established.

 

Section 4.6 Fertility, Pregnancy and Lactation

·        This section has been updated to include more information regarding the use of Neoclarityn with women who are pregnant, breast-feeding or during fertility.

 

Pregnancy

There are no or limited amount of data (less than 300 pregnancy outcomes) from the use of desloratadine in pregnant women. Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to reproductive toxicity (see section 5.3). As a precautionary measure, it is preferable to

avoid the use of Neoclarityn during pregnancy.

Desloratadine was not teratogenic in animal studies. The safe use of the medicinal product during pregnancy has not been established. The use of Neoclarityn during pregnancy is therefore not recommended.

 

Breast-feeding

Desloratadine is excreted into breast milk, therefore the use of Neoclarityn is not recommended in breastfeeding women. Desloratadine has been identified in breastfed newborns/infants of treated women. The effect of desloratadine on newborns/infants is unknown. A decision must be made

whether to discontinue breast-feeding or to discontinue/abstain from Neoclarityn therapy taking into account the benefit of breast feeding for the child and the benefit of therapy for the woman.

 

Fertility

There are no data available on male and female fertility.

 

Section 4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines

 

·        This section has been updated to include more information on the effects of Neoclarityn on the ability to drive and use machines.

 

Neoclarityn has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines based on clinical trials. In clinical trials that assessed the driving ability, no impairment occurred in patients receiving desloratadine. However, p Patients should be informed that very rarely some most people do not

experience drowsiness, which may affect their ability to drive or use machines . Nevertheless, as there is individual variation in response to all medicinal products, it is recommended that patients are advised not to engage in activities requiring mental alertness, such as driving a car or using machines,

until they have established their own response to the medicinal product.

 

Section 4.8 Undesirable Effects

 

·        “Summary of the safety profile” has been added as a title for the starting paragraph.

 

·        The details for national reporting details for adverse events has been added to the end of the undesirable effects section

 

Reporting of suspected adverse reactions

Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the Pharmacovigilance Section, Irish Medicines Board, Kevin O’Malley House, Earlsfort Centre, Earlsfort Terrace IRL - Dublin 2
