Missed Dose Instruct patients that if they miss a dose of PREVYMIS, they should take it as soon as they remember.

Continue PREVYMIS through 100 days post-HSCT. Prolonged PREVYMIS prophylaxis beyond 100 days post-HSCT may be of benefit in some patients at high risk for late CMV reactivation [see section 9 CLINICAL STUDIES – please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information]. The safety and efficacy of PREVYMIS use for more than 200 days has not been studied in clinical trials.

Route Of Administration: ORAL
Indication Info: 1. INDICATIONS AND USAGE PREVYMIS is indicated for the prophylaxis of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and disease in adult CMV-seropositive recipients [R+] of an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). PREVYMIS is indicated for prophylaxis of CMV disease in CMV-seronegative adults who have received a kidney transplant from a CMV-seropositive donor [D+/R-].
Contraindications: 3. CONTRAINDICATIONS PREVYMIS is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to letermovir or any of its inactive ingredients. Pimozide Concomitant administration of PREVYMIS may result in increased concentrations of pimozide due to inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP3A) by letermovir, leading to QT prolongation and torsades de pointes [see 4 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, 4.1 Risk of Adverse Reactions or Reduced Therapeutic Effect Due to Drug Interactions, and 5 DRUG INTERACTIONS AND OTHER FORMS OF INTERACTIONS, 5.2 Effects of PREVYMIS on Other Drugs – please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information]. Ergot alkaloids Concomitant administration of PREVYMIS may result in increased concentrations of ergot alkaloids (ergotamine and dihydroergotamine) due to inhibition of CYP3A by letermovir, which may lead to ergotism [see 4 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, 4.1 Risk of Adverse Reactions or Reduced Therapeutic Effect Due to Drug Interactions, and 5 DRUG INTERACTIONS AND OTHER FORMS OF INTERACTIONS, 5.2 Effects of PREVYMIS on Other Drugs – please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information]. Cyclosporine with pitavastatin or simvastatin Concomitant administration of PREVYMIS in combination with cyclosporine may result in significantly increased pitavastatin or simvastatin concentrations, which may lead to myopathy or rhabdomyolysis [see 4 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, 4.1, Risk of Adverse Reactions or Reduced Therapeutic Effect Due to Drug Interactions, and 5 DRUG INTERACTIONS AND OTHER FORMS OF INTERACTIONS, 5.2 Effects of PREVYMIS on Other Drugs – please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information].
