MAYZENT is a sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator indicated for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), to include clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease, in adults.
Most common adverse reactions (incidence greater than 10%) are headache, hypertension, and transaminase increases.
• Vaccination: Avoid live attenuated vaccines during and for up to 4 weeks after treatment with MAYZENT.
• CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Increase in siponimod exposure; concomitant use of MAYZENT with moderate CYP2C9 and moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors is not recommended.
• CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 Inducers: Decrease in siponimod exposure; concomitant use of MAYZENT with moderate CYP2C9 and strong CYP3A4 inducers is not recommended.
• Infections: MAYZENT may increase the risk. Obtain a complete blood count (CBC) before initiating treatment. Monitor for infection during treatment. Do not start in patients with active infection.
• Macular Edema: An ophthalmic evaluation is recommended before starting treatment and if there is any change in vision while taking MAYZENT.Diabetes mellitus and uveitis increase the risk.
• Bradyarrhythmia and Atrioventricular Conduction Delays: MAYZENT may result in a transient decrease in heart rate; titration is required for treatment initiation. Consider resting heart rate with concomitant beta-blocker use; obtain cardiologist consultation before concomitant use with other drugs that decrease heart rate.
• Respiratory Effects: May cause a decline in pulmonary function. Assess pulmonary function (e.g., spirometry) if clinically indicated.
• Cutaneous Malignancies: Periodic skin examination is recommended.
• Increased Blood Pressure: Monitor blood pressure (BP) during treatment.
