Uses

Simulect20 Mg Poudre Et Solvant Pour Solution Injectable Ou Pourperfusion is an immunosuppressant agent used to prevent immediate transplant rejection in people who are receiving kidney transplants, in combination with other agents. It has been reported that some cases of lichen planus have been successfully treated with basiliximab as an alternative therapy to ciclosporin. No short-term side effects have been reported

Simulect20 Mg Poudre Et Solvant Pour Solution Injectable Ou Pourperfusion is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Kidney Transplant Rejection

How Simulect20 Mg Poudre Et Solvant Pour Solution Injectable Ou Pourperfusion works

Simulect20 Mg Poudre Et Solvant Pour Solution Injectable Ou Pourperfusion binds with high-affinity to the alpha-subunit (CD25) of the high-affinity IL-2 receptor. This inhibits IL-2 binding, which inhibits T-cell activation and prevents the body from mounting an immune response against the foreign kidney.

Dosage

Simulect20 Mg Poudre Et Solvant Pour Solution Injectable Ou Pourperfusion dosage

Adults: In adult patients, the recommended regimen is two doses of 20 mg each. The first 20 mg dose should be given within 2 hours prior to transplantation surgery. The recommended second 20 mg dose should be given 4 days after transplantation. The second dose should be withheld if complications such as severe hypersensitivity reactions to Simulect20 Mg Poudre Et Solvant Pour Solution Injectable Ou Pourperfusion or graft loss occur.

Pediatric: In pediatric patients weighing less than 35 kg, the recommended regimen is two doses of 10 mg each. In pediatric patients weighing 35 kg or more, the recommended regimen is two doses of 20 mg each. The first dose should be given within 2 hours prior to transplantation surgery. The recommended second dose should be given 4 days after transplantation. The second dose should be withheld if complications such as severe hypersensitivity reactions to Simulect20 Mg Poudre Et Solvant Pour Solution Injectable Ou Pourperfusion or graft loss occur.

36 days ± 14 days.

Simulect20 Mg Poudre Et Solvant Pour Solution Injectable Ou Pourperfusion should only be re-exposed to a subsequent course of therapy with extreme caution due to the potential risk of hypersensitivity.

Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration before administration. After reconstitution, Simulect20 Mg Poudre Et Solvant Pour Solution Injectable Ou Pourperfusion should be a clear-to-opalescent, colorless solution. If particulate matter is present or the solution is colored, do not use.

Care must be taken to assure sterility of the prepared solution because the drug product does not contain any antimicrobial preservatives or bacteriostatic agents.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

Pregnancy Category B. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. No maternal toxicity, embryotoxicity, or teratogenicity was observed in cynomolgus monkeys 100 days post coitum following dosing with basiliximab during the organogenesis period; blood levels in pregnant monkeys were 13-fold higher than those seen in human patients. Immunotoxicology studies have not been performed in the offspring. Because IgG molecules are known to cross the placental barrier, because the IL-2 receptor may play an important role in development of the immunesystem, and because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, Simulect20 Mg Poudre Et Solvant Pour Solution Injectable Ou Pourperfusion should only be used in pregnant women when the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Women of childbearing potential should use effective contraception before beginning Simulect20 Mg Poudre Et Solvant Pour Solution Injectable Ou Pourperfusion therapy, during therapy, and for 4 months after completion of Simulect20 Mg Poudre Et Solvant Pour Solution Injectable Ou Pourperfusion therapy.

Nursing Mothers: It is not known whether Simulect20 Mg Poudre Et Solvant Pour Solution Injectable Ou Pourperfusion is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs including human antibodies are excreted in human milk, and because of the potential for adverse reactions, a decision should be made to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.

Contraindication

Known hypersensitivity to basiliximab or any component of the formulation

Acute Overdose

A maximum tolerated dose of Simulect20 Mg Poudre Et Solvant Pour Solution Injectable Ou Pourperfusion has not been determined in patients. During the course of clinical studies, Simulect20 Mg Poudre Et Solvant Pour Solution Injectable Ou Pourperfusion has been administered to adult renal transplantation patients in single doses of up to 60 mg, or in divided doses over 3-5 days of up to 120 mg, without any associated serious adverse events. There has been one spontaneous report of a pediatric renal transplantation patient who received a single 20-mg dose (2.3 mg/kg) without adverse events.

Storage Condition

Store between 2-8°C. It is recommended that after reconstitution, the solution should be used immediately. If not used immediately, it can be stored at 2º C to 8º C for 24 hours or at room temperature for 4 hours. Discard the reconstituted solution if not used within 24 hours.
