MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.
12.1 Mechanism of Action. Fesoterodine is competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist. After oral administration, fesoterodine is rapidly and extensively hydrolyzed by nonspecific esterases to its active metabolite, 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine, which is responsible for the antimuscarinic activity of fesoterodine and is also one of the active moieties of tolterodine tartrate tablets and tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules.Muscarinic receptors play role in contractions of urinary bladder smooth muscle and stimulation of salivary secretion. Inhibition of these receptors in the bladder is presumed to be the mechanism by which fesoterodine produces its effects.

ADVERSE REACTIONS SECTION.
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS. The most frequently reported adverse events (>=4%) for Toviaz were: dry mouth (placebo, 7%; Toviaz mg, 19%; Toviaz mg, 35%) and constipation (placebo, 2%; Toviaz mg, 4%; Toviaz mg, 6%). (6)To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Pfizer Inc at 1-800-438-1985 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience. The safety of Toviaz was evaluated in Phase and controlled trials in total of 2859 patients with overactive bladder, of which 2288 were treated with fesoterodine. Of this total, 782 received Toviaz mg/day, and 785 received Toviaz mg/day in Phase or studies with treatment periods of or 12 weeks. Approximately 80% of these patients had >10 weeks exposure to Toviaz in these trials.A total of 1964 patients participated in two 12-week, Phase efficacy and safety studies and subsequent open-label extension studies. In these two studies combined, 554 patients received Toviaz mg/day and 566 patients received Toviaz mg/day.In Phase and placebo-controlled trials combined, the incidences of serious adverse events in patients receiving placebo, Toviaz mg, and Toviaz mg were 1.9%, 3.5%, and 2.9%, respectively. All serious adverse events were judged to be not related or unlikely to be related to study medication by the investigator, except for four patients receiving Toviaz who reported one serious adverse event each: angina, chest pain, gastroenteritis, and QT prolongation on ECG.The most commonly reported adverse event in patients treated with Toviaz was dry mouth. The incidence of dry mouth was higher in those taking mg/day (35%) and in those taking mg/day (19%), as compared to placebo (7%). Dry mouth led to discontinuation in 0.4%, 0.4%, and 0.8% of patients receiving placebo, Toviaz mg, and Toviaz mg, respectively. For those patients who reported dry mouth, most had their first occurrence of the event within the first month of treatment.The second most commonly reported adverse event was constipation. The incidence of constipation was 2% in those taking placebo, 4% in those taking mg/day, and 6% in those taking mg/day.Table lists adverse events, regardless of causality, that were reported in the combined Phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled trials at an incidence greater than placebo and in 1% or more of patients treated with Toviaz or mg once daily for up to 12 weeks.Table 1: Adverse events with an incidence exceeding the placebo rate and reported by >=1% of patients from double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase trials of 12 weeks treatment durationSystem organ class/Preferred termPlaceboN=554%Toviaz4 mg/dayN=554%Toviaz8 mg/dayN=566%ALT alanine aminotransferase; GGT gamma glutamyltransferaseGastrointestinal disorders Dry mouth7.018.834.6 Constipation2.04.26.0 Dyspepsia0.51.62.3 Nausea1.30.71.9 Abdominal pain upper0.51.10.5Infections Urinary tract infection3.13.24.2 Upper respiratory tract infection2.22.51.8Eye disorders Dry eyes01.43.7Renal and urinary disorders Dysuria0.71.31.6 Urinary retention0.21.11.4Respiratory disorders Cough0.51.60.9 Dry throat0.40.92.3General disorders Edema peripheral0.70.71.2Musculoskeletal disorders Back pain0.42.00.9Psychiatric disorders Insomnia0.51.30.4Investigations ALT increased0.90.51.2 GGT increased0.40.41.2Skin disorders Rash0.50.71.1Patients also received Toviaz for up to three years in open-label extension phases of one Phase and two Phase controlled trials. In all open-label trials combined, 857, 701, 529, and 105 patients received Toviaz for at least months, year, years, and years, respectively. The adverse events observed during long-term, open-label studies were similar to those observed in the 12-week, placebo-controlled studies, and included dry mouth, constipation, dry eyes, dyspepsia, and abdominal pain. Similar to the controlled studies, most adverse events of dry mouth and constipation were mild to moderate in intensity. Serious adverse events, judged to be at least possibly related to study medication by the investigator and reported more than once during the open-label treatment period of up to years, included urinary retention (3 cases), diverticulitis (3 cases), constipation (2 cases), irritable bowel syndrome (2 cases), and electrocardiogram QT corrected interval prolongation (2 cases).. 6.2 Post-marketing Experience. The following events have been reported in association with fesoterodine use in worldwide post-marketing experience: Eye disorders: Blurred vision; Cardiac disorders: Palpitations; General disorders and administrative site conditions: Hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema with airway obstruction, face edema; Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders Urticaria, pruritus.Because these spontaneously reported events are from the worldwide post-marketing experience, the frequency of events and the role of fesoterodine in their causation cannot be reliably determined.

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.
13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. No evidence of drug-related carcinogenicity was found in 24-month studies with oral administration to mice and rats. The highest tolerated doses in mice (females 45 to 60 mg/kg/day, males 30 to 45 mg/kg/day) correspond to 11 to 19 times (females) and to times (males) the estimated human AUC values reached with fesoterodine mg, which is the Maximum Recommended Human Dose (MRHD). In rats, the highest tolerated dose (45 to 60 mg/kg/day) corresponds to to times (females) and to 14 times (males) the estimated human AUC at the MRHD.Fesoterodine was not mutagenic or genotoxic in vitro (Ames tests, chromosome aberration tests) or in vivo (mouse micronucleus test).Fesoterodine had no effect on reproductive function, fertility, or early embryonic development of the fetus at non-maternally toxic doses in mice. The maternal No-Observed-Effect Level (NOEL) and the NOEL for effects on reproduction and early embryonic development were both 15 mg/kg/day. Based on AUC, the systemic exposure was 0.6 to 1.5 times higher in mice than in humans at the MRHD, whereas based on peak plasma concentrations, the exposure in mice was to times higher. The Lowest-Observed-Effect Level (LOEL) for maternal toxicity was 45 mg/kg/day.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. Fesoterodine is competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist. After oral administration, fesoterodine is rapidly and extensively hydrolyzed by nonspecific esterases to its active metabolite, 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine, which is responsible for the antimuscarinic activity of fesoterodine and is also one of the active moieties of tolterodine tartrate tablets and tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules.Muscarinic receptors play role in contractions of urinary bladder smooth muscle and stimulation of salivary secretion. Inhibition of these receptors in the bladder is presumed to be the mechanism by which fesoterodine produces its effects.. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics. In urodynamic study involving patients with involuntary detrusor contractions, the effects after the administration of fesoterodine on the volume at first detrusor contraction and bladder capacity were assessed. Administration of fesoterodine increased the volume at first detrusor contraction and bladder capacity in dose-dependent manner. These findings are consistent with an antimuscarinic effect on the bladder.. Cardiac Electrophysiology: The effect of fesoterodine mg and 28 mg on the QT interval was evaluated in double-blind, randomized, placebo- and positive-controlled (moxifloxacin 400 mg once day) parallel trial with once-daily treatment over period of days in 261 male and female subjects aged 44 to 65 years. Electrocardiographic parameters were measured over 24-hour period at pre-dose, after the first administration, and after the third administration of study medication. Fesoterodine 28 mg was chosen because this dose, when administered to CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers, results in an exposure to the active metabolite that is similar to the exposure in CYP2D6 poor metabolizer receiving fesoterodine mg together with CYP3A4 blockade. Corrected QT intervals (QTc) were calculated using Fridericias correction and linear individual correction method. Analyses of 24-hour average QTc, time-matched baseline-corrected QTc, and time-matched placebo-subtracted QTc intervals indicate that fesoterodine at doses of and 28 mg/day did not prolong the QT interval. The sensitivity of the study was confirmed by positive QTc prolongation by moxifloxacin.Toviaz is associated with an increase in heart rate that correlates with increasing dose. In the study described above, when compared to placebo, the mean increase in heart rate associated with dose of mg/day and 28 mg/day of fesoterodine was beats/minute and 11 beats/minute, respectively.In the two, phase 3, placebo-controlled studies in patients with overactive bladder, the mean increase in heart rate compared to placebo was approximately 3-4 beats/minute in the mg/day group and 3-5 beats/minute in the mg/day group.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. Absorption: After oral administration, fesoterodine is well absorbed. Due to rapid and extensive hydrolysis by nonspecific esterases to its active metabolite 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine, fesoterodine cannot be detected in plasma. Bioavailability of the active metabolite is 52%. After single or multiple-dose oral administration of fesoterodine in doses from mg to 28 mg, plasma concentrations of the active metabolite are proportional to the dose. Maximum plasma levels are reached after approximately hours. No accumulation occurs after multiple-dose administration.A summary of pharmacokinetic parameters for the active metabolite after single dose of Toviaz mg and mg in extensive and poor metabolizers of CYP2D6 is provided in Table 2.Table 2: Summary of geometric mean [CV] pharmacokinetic parameters for the active metabolite after single dose of Toviaz mg and mg in extensive and poor CYP2D6 metabolizersToviaz mgToviaz mgParameterEM (n=16)PM (n=8)EM (n=16)PM (n=8)EM extensive CYP2D6 metabolizer, PM poor CYP2D6 metabolizer, CV coefficient of variationCmax maximum plasma concentration, AUC0-tz area under the concentration time curve from zero up to the last measurable plasma concentration, tmax time to reach Cmax, 1/2 terminal half-lifeCmax (ng/mL)1.89 [43%]3.45 [54%]3.98 [28%]6.90 [39%]AUC0-tz (ngh/mL)21.2 [38%]40.5 [31%]45.3 [32%]88.7 [36%]tmax (h)Data presented as median (range) [2-6]5 [5-6]5 [3-6]5 [5-6]t 1/2 (h)7.31 [27%]7.31 [30%]8.59 [41%]7.66 [21%]. Effect of Food: There is no clinically relevant effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine. In study of the effects of food on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine in 16 healthy male volunteers, concomitant food intake increased the active metabolite of fesoterodine AUC by approximately 19% and Cmax by 18% [see Dosage and Administration (2)]. Distribution: Plasma protein binding of the active metabolite is low (approximately 50%) and is primarily bound to albumin and alpha-1-acid glycoprotein. The mean steady-state volume of distribution following intravenous infusion of the active metabolite is 169 L.. Metabolism: After oral administration, fesoterodine is rapidly and extensively hydrolyzed to its active metabolite. The active metabolite is further metabolized in the liver to its carboxy, carboxy-N-desisopropyl, and N-desisopropyl metabolites via two major pathways involving CYP2D6 and CYP3A4. None of these metabolites contribute significantly to the antimuscarinic activity of fesoterodine.. Variability in CYP2D6 Metabolism: subset of individuals (approximately 7% of Caucasians and approximately 2% of African Americans) are poor metabolizers for CYP2D6. Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.7- and 2-fold, respectively, in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers, as compared to extensive metabolizers.. Excretion: Hepatic metabolism and renal excretion contribute significantly to the elimination of the active metabolite. After oral administration of fesoterodine, approximately 70% of the administered dose was recovered in urine as the active metabolite (16%), carboxy metabolite (34%), carboxy-N-desisopropyl metabolite (18%), or N-desisopropyl metabolite (1%), and smaller amount (7%) was recovered in feces.The terminal half-life of the active metabolite is approximately hours following an intravenous administration. The apparent terminal half-life following oral administration is approximately hours.. Pharmacokinetics in Specific Populations:. Geriatric Patients: Following single mg oral dose of fesoterodine, the mean (+-SD) AUC and Cmax for the active metabolite 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine in 12 elderly men (mean age 67 years) were 51.8 +- 26.1 hng/mL and 3.8 +- 1.7 ng/mL, respectively. In the same study, the mean (+-SD) AUC and Cmax in 12 young men (mean age 30 years) were 52.0 +- 31.5 hng/mL and 4.1 +- 2.1 ng/mL, respectively. The pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine were not significantly influenced by age [see Use in Specific Populations (8.5) ].. Pediatric Patients: The pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine have not been evaluated in pediatric patients [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ].. Gender: Following single mg oral dose of fesoterodine, the mean (+-SD) AUC and Cmax for the active metabolite 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine in 12 elderly men (mean age 67 years) were 51.8 +- 26.1 hng/mL and 3.8 +- 1.7 ng/mL, respectively. In the same study, the mean (+-SD) AUC and Cmax in 12 elderly women (mean age 68 years) were 56.0 +- 28.8 hng/mL and 4.6 +- 2.3 ng/mL, respectively. The pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine were not significantly influenced by gender [see Use in Specific Populations (8.8) ].. Race: The effects of Caucasian or Black race on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine were examined in study of 12 Caucasian and 12 Black African young male volunteers. Each subject received single oral dose of mg fesoterodine. The mean (+-SD) AUC and Cmax for the active metabolite 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine in Caucasian males were 73.0 +- 27.8 hng/mL and 6.1 +- 2.7 ng/mL, respectively. The mean (+-SD) AUC and Cmax in Black males were 65.8 +- 23.2 hng/mL and 5.5 +- 1.9 ng/mL, respectively. The pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine were not significantly influenced by race [see Use in Specific Populations (8.9) ].. Renal Impairment: In patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (CLCR ranging from 30-80 mL/min), Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite are increased up to 1.5- and 1.8-fold, respectively, as compared to healthy subjects. In patients with severe renal impairment (CLCR 30 mL/min), Cmax and AUC are increased 2.0- and 2.3-fold, respectively. [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6), Warnings and Precautions (5.6), and Dosage and Administration (2) ].. Hepatic Impairment: In patients with moderate (Child-Pugh B) hepatic impairment, Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.4- and 2.1-fold, respectively, as compared to healthy subjects.Subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) have not been studied [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7), Warnings and Precautions (5.5), and Dosage and Administration (2) ].. Drug-Drug Interactions:. Drugs Metabolized by Cytochrome P450: At therapeutic concentrations, the active metabolite of fesoterodine does not inhibit CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, or 3A4, or induce CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C9, 2C19, or 3A4 in vitro [see Drug Interactions (7.5) ].. CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Following blockade of CYP3A4 by coadministration of the potent CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole 200 mg twice day for days, Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine increased 2.0- and 2.3-fold, respectively, after oral administration of Toviaz mg to CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers. In CYP2D6 poor metabolizers, Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine increased 2.1- and 2.5-fold, respectively, during coadministration of ketoconazole 200 mg twice day for days. Cmax and AUC were 4.5- and 5.7-fold higher, respectively, in subjects who were CYP2D6 poor metabolizers and taking ketoconazole compared to subjects who were CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers and not taking ketoconazole. In separate study coadministering fesoterodine with ketoconazole 200 mg once day for days, the Cmax and AUC values of the active metabolite of fesoterodine were increased 2.2-fold in CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers and 1.5- and 1.9-fold, respectively, in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers. Cmax and AUC were 3.4- and 4.2-fold higher, respectively, in subjects who were CYP2D6 poor metabolizers and taking ketoconazole compared to subjects who were CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers and not taking ketoconazole.There is no clinically relevant effect of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine. In drug-drug interaction study evaluating the coadministration of the moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor fluconazole 200 mg twice day for days, single mg dose of fesoterodine was administered hour following the first dose of fluconazole on day of the study. The average (90% confidence interval) for the increase in Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine was approximately 19% (11% 28%) and 27% (18% 36%) respectively.The effect of weak CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. cimetidine) was not examined; it is not expected to be in excess of the effect of moderate inhibitors [see Drug Interactions (7.2) ], Warnings and Precautions (5.7), and Dosage and Administration (2)].. CYP3A4 Inducers: Following induction of CYP3A4 by coadministration of rifampicin 600 mg once day, Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine decreased by approximately 70% and 75%, respectively, after oral administration of Toviaz mg. The terminal half-life of the active metabolite was not changed.. Induction of CYP3A4 may lead to reduced plasma levels. No dosing adjustments are recommended in the presence of CYP3A4 inducers [see Drug Interactions (7.3) ].. CYP2D6 Inhibitors: The interaction with CYP2D6 inhibitors was not studied. In poor metabolizers for CYP2D6, representing maximum CYP2D6 inhibition, Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.7- and 2-fold, respectively. [see Drug Interactions (7.4) ].. Oral Contraceptives: Thirty healthy female subjects taking an oral contraceptive containing 0.03 mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.15 mg levonorgestrel were evaluated in 2-period crossover study. Each subject was randomized to receive concomitant administration of either placebo or fesoterodine mg once daily on days - 14 of hormone cycle for consecutive cycles. Pharmacokinetics of ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel were assessed on day 13 of each cycle. Fesoterodine increased the AUC and Cmax of ethinyl estradiol by - 3% and decreased the AUC and Cmax of levonorgestrel by 11 13% [see Drug Interactions (7.6) ].. Warfarin: In cross-over study in 14 healthy male volunteers (18-55 years), single oral dose of warfarin 25 mg was given either alone or on day of once daily dosing for days with fesoterodine mg. Compared to warfarin alone dosing, the Cmax and AUC of S-warfarin were lower by 4 %, while the Cmax and AUC of R-warfarin were lower by approximately % and 6% for the co-administration, suggesting absence of significant pharmacokinetic interaction.There were no statistically significant changes in the measured pharmacodynamic parameters for anti-coagulant activity of warfarin (INRmax, AUCINR), with only small decrease noted in INRmax of 3 with the co-administration relative to warfarin alone. INR versus time profiles across individual subjects in the study suggested some differences following co-administration with fesoterodine, although there was no definite trend with regard to the changes noted [see Drug Interactions (7.7) ].

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.
14 CLINICAL STUDIES. Toviaz extended-release tablets were evaluated in two, Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 12-week studies for the treatment of overactive bladder with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency. Entry criteria required that patients have symptoms of overactive bladder for >= 6-months duration, at least micturitions per day, and at least urinary urgency episodes or urge incontinence episodes per 3-day diary period. Patients were randomized to fixed dose of Toviaz or mg/day or placebo. In one of these studies, 290 patients were randomized to an active control arm (an oral antimuscarinic agent). For the combined studies, total of 554 patients received placebo, 554 patients received Toviaz mg/day, and 566 patients received Toviaz mg/day. The majority of patients were Caucasian (91%) and female (79%) with mean age of 58 years (range 19-91 years).The primary efficacy endpoints were the mean change in the number of urge urinary incontinence episodes per 24 hours and the mean change in the number of micturitions (frequency) per 24 hours. An important secondary endpoint was the mean change in the voided volume per micturition.Results for the primary endpoints and for mean change in voided volume per micturition from the two 12-week clinical studies of Toviaz are reported in Table 3.Table 3: Mean baseline and change from baseline to Week 12 for urge urinary incontinence episodes, number of micturitions, and volume voided per micturitionStudy 1Study 2ParameterPlaceboN=279Toviaz 4mg/dayN=265Toviaz8mg/dayN=276PlaceboN=266Toviaz4mg/dayN=267Toviaz8mg/dayN=267vs. versusNumber of urge incontinence episodes per 24 hoursOnly those patients who were urge incontinent at baseline were included for the analysis of number of urge incontinence episodes per 24 hours: In Study 1, the number of these patients was 211, 199, and 223 in the placebo, Toviaz mg/day and Toviaz mg/day groups, respectively.

DRUG INTERACTIONS SECTION.
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS. 7.1 Antimuscarinic Drugs. Coadministration of Toviaz with other antimuscarinic agents that produce dry mouth, constipation, urinary retention, and other anticholinergic pharmacological effects may increase the frequency and/or severity of such effects. Anticholinergic agents may potentially alter the absorption of some concomitantly administered drugs due to anticholinergic effects on gastrointestinal motility.. 7.2 CYP3A4 Inhibitors. Doses of Toviaz greater than mg are not recommended in patients taking potent CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, and clarithromycin. Coadministration of the potent CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole with fesoterodine led to approximately doubling of the maximum concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) of 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine (5-HMT), the active metabolite of fesoterodine. Compared with CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers not taking ketoconazole, further increases in the exposure to 5-HMT were observed in subjects who were CYP2D6 poor metabolizers taking ketoconazole [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), Warnings and Precautions (5.7), and Dosage and Administration (2) ].There is no clinically relevant effect of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine. Following blockade of CYP3A4 by coadministration of the moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor fluconazole 200 mg twice day for days, the average (90% confidence interval) increase in Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine was approximately 19% (11% 28%) and 27% (18% 36%) respectively. No dosing adjustments are recommended in the presence of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., erythromycin, fluconazole, diltiazem, verapamil and grapefruit juice).The effect of weak CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. cimetidine) was not examined; it is not expected to be in excess of the effect of moderate inhibitors [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), Warnings and Precautions (5.7), and Dosage and Administration (2) ].. 7.3 CYP3A4 Inducers. No dosing adjustments are recommended in the presence of CYP3A4 inducers, such as rifampin and carbamazepine. Following induction of CYP3A4 by coadministration of rifampin 600 mg once day, Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine decreased by approximately 70% and 75%, respectively, after oral administration of Toviaz mg. The terminal half-life of the active metabolite was not changed.. 7.4 CYP2D6 Inhibitors. The interaction with CYP2D6 inhibitors was not tested clinically. In poor metabolizers for CYP2D6, representing maximum CYP2D6 inhibition, Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.7- and 2-fold, respectively.No dosing adjustments are recommended in the presence of CYP2D6 inhibitors.. 7.5 Drugs Metabolized by Cytochrome P450. In vitro data indicate that at therapeutic concentrations, the active metabolite of fesoterodine does not have the potential to inhibit or induce Cytochrome P450 enzyme systems [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].. 7.6 Oral Contraceptives. In the presence of fesoterodine, there are no clinically significant changes in the plasma concentrations of combined oral contraceptives containing ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].. 7.7 Warfarin. clinical study has shown that fesoterodine mg once daily has no significant effect on the pharmacokinetics or the anticoagulant activity (PT/INR) of warfarin 25 mg. Standard therapeutic monitoring for warfarin should be continued [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].. 7.8 Drug-Laboratory Test Interactions. Interactions between Toviaz and laboratory tests have not been studied.

GERIATRIC USE SECTION.
8.5 Geriatric Use. No dose adjustment is recommended for the elderly. The pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine are not significantly influenced by age.Of 1567 patients who received Toviaz mg/day or mg/day in the Phase and 3, placebo-controlled, efficacy and safety studies, 515 (33%) were 65 years of age or older, and 140 (9%) were 75 years of age or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between patients younger than 65 years of age and those 65 years of age or older in these studies; however, the incidence of antimuscarinic adverse events, including dry mouth, constipation, dyspepsia, increase in residual urine, dizziness (at mg only) and urinary tract infection, was higher in patients 75 years of age and older as compared to younger patients [see Clinical Studies (14) and Adverse Reactions (6) ].

INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS SECTION.
17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION. See FDA-Approved Patient Labeling (17.2) 17.1 Information for Patients. Patients should be informed that fesoterodine may produce angioedema, which could result in life-threatening airway obstruction. Patients should be advised to promptly discontinue fesoterodine therapy and seek immediate medical attention if they experience edema of the tongue or laryngopharynx, or difficult breathing.Patients should be informed that Toviaz, like other antimuscarinic agents, may produce clinically significant adverse effects related to antimuscarinic pharmacological activity including constipation and urinary retention. Toviaz, like other antimuscarinics, may be associated with blurred vision, therefore, patients should be advised to exercise caution until the drugs effects on the patient have been determined. Heat prostration (due to decreased sweating) can occur when Toviaz, like other antimuscarinic drugs, is used in hot environment.Patients should also be informed that alcohol may enhance the drowsiness caused by Toviaz, like other anticholinergic agents. Patients should read the patient leaflet entextd Patient Information TOVIAZ before starting therapy with Toviaz.. 17.2 FDA Approved Patient Labeling.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.
13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY. 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. No evidence of drug-related carcinogenicity was found in 24-month studies with oral administration to mice and rats. The highest tolerated doses in mice (females 45 to 60 mg/kg/day, males 30 to 45 mg/kg/day) correspond to 11 to 19 times (females) and to times (males) the estimated human AUC values reached with fesoterodine mg, which is the Maximum Recommended Human Dose (MRHD). In rats, the highest tolerated dose (45 to 60 mg/kg/day) corresponds to to times (females) and to 14 times (males) the estimated human AUC at the MRHD.Fesoterodine was not mutagenic or genotoxic in vitro (Ames tests, chromosome aberration tests) or in vivo (mouse micronucleus test).Fesoterodine had no effect on reproductive function, fertility, or early embryonic development of the fetus at non-maternally toxic doses in mice. The maternal No-Observed-Effect Level (NOEL) and the NOEL for effects on reproduction and early embryonic development were both 15 mg/kg/day. Based on AUC, the systemic exposure was 0.6 to 1.5 times higher in mice than in humans at the MRHD, whereas based on peak plasma concentrations, the exposure in mice was to times higher. The Lowest-Observed-Effect Level (LOEL) for maternal toxicity was 45 mg/kg/day.

PHARMACODYNAMICS SECTION.
12.2 Pharmacodynamics. In urodynamic study involving patients with involuntary detrusor contractions, the effects after the administration of fesoterodine on the volume at first detrusor contraction and bladder capacity were assessed. Administration of fesoterodine increased the volume at first detrusor contraction and bladder capacity in dose-dependent manner. These findings are consistent with an antimuscarinic effect on the bladder.. Cardiac Electrophysiology: The effect of fesoterodine mg and 28 mg on the QT interval was evaluated in double-blind, randomized, placebo- and positive-controlled (moxifloxacin 400 mg once day) parallel trial with once-daily treatment over period of days in 261 male and female subjects aged 44 to 65 years. Electrocardiographic parameters were measured over 24-hour period at pre-dose, after the first administration, and after the third administration of study medication. Fesoterodine 28 mg was chosen because this dose, when administered to CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers, results in an exposure to the active metabolite that is similar to the exposure in CYP2D6 poor metabolizer receiving fesoterodine mg together with CYP3A4 blockade. Corrected QT intervals (QTc) were calculated using Fridericias correction and linear individual correction method. Analyses of 24-hour average QTc, time-matched baseline-corrected QTc, and time-matched placebo-subtracted QTc intervals indicate that fesoterodine at doses of and 28 mg/day did not prolong the QT interval. The sensitivity of the study was confirmed by positive QTc prolongation by moxifloxacin.Toviaz is associated with an increase in heart rate that correlates with increasing dose. In the study described above, when compared to placebo, the mean increase in heart rate associated with dose of mg/day and 28 mg/day of fesoterodine was beats/minute and 11 beats/minute, respectively.In the two, phase 3, placebo-controlled studies in patients with overactive bladder, the mean increase in heart rate compared to placebo was approximately 3-4 beats/minute in the mg/day group and 3-5 beats/minute in the mg/day group.

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics. Absorption: After oral administration, fesoterodine is well absorbed. Due to rapid and extensive hydrolysis by nonspecific esterases to its active metabolite 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine, fesoterodine cannot be detected in plasma. Bioavailability of the active metabolite is 52%. After single or multiple-dose oral administration of fesoterodine in doses from mg to 28 mg, plasma concentrations of the active metabolite are proportional to the dose. Maximum plasma levels are reached after approximately hours. No accumulation occurs after multiple-dose administration.A summary of pharmacokinetic parameters for the active metabolite after single dose of Toviaz mg and mg in extensive and poor metabolizers of CYP2D6 is provided in Table 2.Table 2: Summary of geometric mean [CV] pharmacokinetic parameters for the active metabolite after single dose of Toviaz mg and mg in extensive and poor CYP2D6 metabolizersToviaz mgToviaz mgParameterEM (n=16)PM (n=8)EM (n=16)PM (n=8)EM extensive CYP2D6 metabolizer, PM poor CYP2D6 metabolizer, CV coefficient of variationCmax maximum plasma concentration, AUC0-tz area under the concentration time curve from zero up to the last measurable plasma concentration, tmax time to reach Cmax, 1/2 terminal half-lifeCmax (ng/mL)1.89 [43%]3.45 [54%]3.98 [28%]6.90 [39%]AUC0-tz (ngh/mL)21.2 [38%]40.5 [31%]45.3 [32%]88.7 [36%]tmax (h)Data presented as median (range) [2-6]5 [5-6]5 [3-6]5 [5-6]t 1/2 (h)7.31 [27%]7.31 [30%]8.59 [41%]7.66 [21%]. Effect of Food: There is no clinically relevant effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine. In study of the effects of food on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine in 16 healthy male volunteers, concomitant food intake increased the active metabolite of fesoterodine AUC by approximately 19% and Cmax by 18% [see Dosage and Administration (2)]. Distribution: Plasma protein binding of the active metabolite is low (approximately 50%) and is primarily bound to albumin and alpha-1-acid glycoprotein. The mean steady-state volume of distribution following intravenous infusion of the active metabolite is 169 L.. Metabolism: After oral administration, fesoterodine is rapidly and extensively hydrolyzed to its active metabolite. The active metabolite is further metabolized in the liver to its carboxy, carboxy-N-desisopropyl, and N-desisopropyl metabolites via two major pathways involving CYP2D6 and CYP3A4. None of these metabolites contribute significantly to the antimuscarinic activity of fesoterodine.. Variability in CYP2D6 Metabolism: subset of individuals (approximately 7% of Caucasians and approximately 2% of African Americans) are poor metabolizers for CYP2D6. Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.7- and 2-fold, respectively, in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers, as compared to extensive metabolizers.. Excretion: Hepatic metabolism and renal excretion contribute significantly to the elimination of the active metabolite. After oral administration of fesoterodine, approximately 70% of the administered dose was recovered in urine as the active metabolite (16%), carboxy metabolite (34%), carboxy-N-desisopropyl metabolite (18%), or N-desisopropyl metabolite (1%), and smaller amount (7%) was recovered in feces.The terminal half-life of the active metabolite is approximately hours following an intravenous administration. The apparent terminal half-life following oral administration is approximately hours.. Pharmacokinetics in Specific Populations:. Geriatric Patients: Following single mg oral dose of fesoterodine, the mean (+-SD) AUC and Cmax for the active metabolite 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine in 12 elderly men (mean age 67 years) were 51.8 +- 26.1 hng/mL and 3.8 +- 1.7 ng/mL, respectively. In the same study, the mean (+-SD) AUC and Cmax in 12 young men (mean age 30 years) were 52.0 +- 31.5 hng/mL and 4.1 +- 2.1 ng/mL, respectively. The pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine were not significantly influenced by age [see Use in Specific Populations (8.5) ].. Pediatric Patients: The pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine have not been evaluated in pediatric patients [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ].. Gender: Following single mg oral dose of fesoterodine, the mean (+-SD) AUC and Cmax for the active metabolite 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine in 12 elderly men (mean age 67 years) were 51.8 +- 26.1 hng/mL and 3.8 +- 1.7 ng/mL, respectively. In the same study, the mean (+-SD) AUC and Cmax in 12 elderly women (mean age 68 years) were 56.0 +- 28.8 hng/mL and 4.6 +- 2.3 ng/mL, respectively. The pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine were not significantly influenced by gender [see Use in Specific Populations (8.8) ].. Race: The effects of Caucasian or Black race on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine were examined in study of 12 Caucasian and 12 Black African young male volunteers. Each subject received single oral dose of mg fesoterodine. The mean (+-SD) AUC and Cmax for the active metabolite 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine in Caucasian males were 73.0 +- 27.8 hng/mL and 6.1 +- 2.7 ng/mL, respectively. The mean (+-SD) AUC and Cmax in Black males were 65.8 +- 23.2 hng/mL and 5.5 +- 1.9 ng/mL, respectively. The pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine were not significantly influenced by race [see Use in Specific Populations (8.9) ].. Renal Impairment: In patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (CLCR ranging from 30-80 mL/min), Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite are increased up to 1.5- and 1.8-fold, respectively, as compared to healthy subjects. In patients with severe renal impairment (CLCR 30 mL/min), Cmax and AUC are increased 2.0- and 2.3-fold, respectively. [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6), Warnings and Precautions (5.6), and Dosage and Administration (2) ].. Hepatic Impairment: In patients with moderate (Child-Pugh B) hepatic impairment, Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.4- and 2.1-fold, respectively, as compared to healthy subjects.Subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) have not been studied [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7), Warnings and Precautions (5.5), and Dosage and Administration (2) ].. Drug-Drug Interactions:. Drugs Metabolized by Cytochrome P450: At therapeutic concentrations, the active metabolite of fesoterodine does not inhibit CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, or 3A4, or induce CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C9, 2C19, or 3A4 in vitro [see Drug Interactions (7.5) ].. CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Following blockade of CYP3A4 by coadministration of the potent CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole 200 mg twice day for days, Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine increased 2.0- and 2.3-fold, respectively, after oral administration of Toviaz mg to CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers. In CYP2D6 poor metabolizers, Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine increased 2.1- and 2.5-fold, respectively, during coadministration of ketoconazole 200 mg twice day for days. Cmax and AUC were 4.5- and 5.7-fold higher, respectively, in subjects who were CYP2D6 poor metabolizers and taking ketoconazole compared to subjects who were CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers and not taking ketoconazole. In separate study coadministering fesoterodine with ketoconazole 200 mg once day for days, the Cmax and AUC values of the active metabolite of fesoterodine were increased 2.2-fold in CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers and 1.5- and 1.9-fold, respectively, in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers. Cmax and AUC were 3.4- and 4.2-fold higher, respectively, in subjects who were CYP2D6 poor metabolizers and taking ketoconazole compared to subjects who were CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers and not taking ketoconazole.There is no clinically relevant effect of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors on the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine. In drug-drug interaction study evaluating the coadministration of the moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor fluconazole 200 mg twice day for days, single mg dose of fesoterodine was administered hour following the first dose of fluconazole on day of the study. The average (90% confidence interval) for the increase in Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine was approximately 19% (11% 28%) and 27% (18% 36%) respectively.The effect of weak CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. cimetidine) was not examined; it is not expected to be in excess of the effect of moderate inhibitors [see Drug Interactions (7.2) ], Warnings and Precautions (5.7), and Dosage and Administration (2)].. CYP3A4 Inducers: Following induction of CYP3A4 by coadministration of rifampicin 600 mg once day, Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite of fesoterodine decreased by approximately 70% and 75%, respectively, after oral administration of Toviaz mg. The terminal half-life of the active metabolite was not changed.. Induction of CYP3A4 may lead to reduced plasma levels. No dosing adjustments are recommended in the presence of CYP3A4 inducers [see Drug Interactions (7.3) ].. CYP2D6 Inhibitors: The interaction with CYP2D6 inhibitors was not studied. In poor metabolizers for CYP2D6, representing maximum CYP2D6 inhibition, Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.7- and 2-fold, respectively. [see Drug Interactions (7.4) ].. Oral Contraceptives: Thirty healthy female subjects taking an oral contraceptive containing 0.03 mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.15 mg levonorgestrel were evaluated in 2-period crossover study. Each subject was randomized to receive concomitant administration of either placebo or fesoterodine mg once daily on days - 14 of hormone cycle for consecutive cycles. Pharmacokinetics of ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel were assessed on day 13 of each cycle. Fesoterodine increased the AUC and Cmax of ethinyl estradiol by - 3% and decreased the AUC and Cmax of levonorgestrel by 11 13% [see Drug Interactions (7.6) ].. Warfarin: In cross-over study in 14 healthy male volunteers (18-55 years), single oral dose of warfarin 25 mg was given either alone or on day of once daily dosing for days with fesoterodine mg. Compared to warfarin alone dosing, the Cmax and AUC of S-warfarin were lower by 4 %, while the Cmax and AUC of R-warfarin were lower by approximately % and 6% for the co-administration, suggesting absence of significant pharmacokinetic interaction.There were no statistically significant changes in the measured pharmacodynamic parameters for anti-coagulant activity of warfarin (INRmax, AUCINR), with only small decrease noted in INRmax of 3 with the co-administration relative to warfarin alone. INR versus time profiles across individual subjects in the study suggested some differences following co-administration with fesoterodine, although there was no definite trend with regard to the changes noted [see Drug Interactions (7.7) ].

PREGNANCY SECTION.
8.1 Pregnancy. Pregnancy Category C. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies using Toviaz in pregnant women.No dose-related teratogenicity was observed in reproduction studies performed in mice and rabbits. In mice at to 27 times the expected exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of mg based on AUC (75 mg/kg/day, oral), increased resorptions and decreased live fetuses were observed. One fetus with cleft palate was observed at each dose (15, 45, and 75 mg/kg/day), at an incidence within the background historical range. In rabbits treated at to 11 times the MRHD (27 mg/kg/day, oral), incompletely ossified sternebrae (retardation of bone development) were observed in fetuses. In rabbits at to 11 times the MRHD (4.5 mg/kg/day, subcutaneous), maternal toxicity and incompletely ossified sternebrae were observed in fetuses (at an incidence within the background historical range). In rabbits at times the MRHD (1.5 mg/kg/day, subcutaneous), decreased maternal food consumption in the absence of any fetal effects was observed. Oral administration of 30 mg/kg/day fesoterodine to mice in pre- and post-natal development study resulted in decreased body weight of the dams and delayed ear opening of the pups. No effects were noted on mating and reproduction of the F1 dams or on the F2 offspring.Toviaz should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.

(8.1) Toviaz should not be administered during nursing unless the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the neonate. (8.3)Pediatric Use: The safety and effectiveness of Toviaz in pediatric patients have not been established. (8.4). Pregnancy and Nursing Mothers: Toviaz should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. (8.1) Toviaz should not be administered during nursing unless the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the neonate. (8.3). Pediatric Use: The safety and effectiveness of Toviaz in pediatric patients have not been established. (8.4). 8.1 Pregnancy. Pregnancy Category C. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies using Toviaz in pregnant women.No dose-related teratogenicity was observed in reproduction studies performed in mice and rabbits. In mice at to 27 times the expected exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of mg based on AUC (75 mg/kg/day, oral), increased resorptions and decreased live fetuses were observed. One fetus with cleft palate was observed at each dose (15, 45, and 75 mg/kg/day), at an incidence within the background historical range. In rabbits treated at to 11 times the MRHD (27 mg/kg/day, oral), incompletely ossified sternebrae (retardation of bone development) were observed in fetuses. In rabbits at to 11 times the MRHD (4.5 mg/kg/day, subcutaneous), maternal toxicity and incompletely ossified sternebrae were observed in fetuses (at an incidence within the background historical range). In rabbits at times the MRHD (1.5 mg/kg/day, subcutaneous), decreased maternal food consumption in the absence of any fetal effects was observed. Oral administration of 30 mg/kg/day fesoterodine to mice in pre- and post-natal development study resulted in decreased body weight of the dams and delayed ear opening of the pups. No effects were noted on mating and reproduction of the F1 dams or on the F2 offspring.Toviaz should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.. 8.3 Nursing Mothers. It is not known whether fesoterodine is excreted in human milk. Toviaz should not be administered during nursing unless the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the neonate.. 8.4 Pediatric Use. The pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine have not been evaluated in pediatric patients.The safety and effectiveness of Toviaz in pediatric patients have not been established.. 8.5 Geriatric Use. No dose adjustment is recommended for the elderly. The pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine are not significantly influenced by age.Of 1567 patients who received Toviaz mg/day or mg/day in the Phase and 3, placebo-controlled, efficacy and safety studies, 515 (33%) were 65 years of age or older, and 140 (9%) were 75 years of age or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between patients younger than 65 years of age and those 65 years of age or older in these studies; however, the incidence of antimuscarinic adverse events, including dry mouth, constipation, dyspepsia, increase in residual urine, dizziness (at mg only) and urinary tract infection, was higher in patients 75 years of age and older as compared to younger patients [see Clinical Studies (14) and Adverse Reactions (6) ].. 8.6 Renal Impairment. In patients with severe renal impairment (CLCR 30 mL/min), Cmax and AUC are increased 2.0- and 2.3-fold, respectively. Doses of Toviaz greater than mg are not recommended in patients with severe renal impairment. In patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (CLCR ranging from 30-80 mL/min), Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite are increased up to 1.5- and 1.8-fold, respectively, as compared to healthy subjects. No dose adjustment is recommended in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) and Dosage and Administration (2) ].. 8.7 Hepatic Impairment. Patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) have not been studied; therefore Toviaz is not recommended for use in these patients. In patients with moderate (Child-Pugh B) hepatic impairment, Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite are increased 1.4- and 2.1-fold, respectively, as compared to healthy subjects. No dose adjustment is recommended in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) and Dosage and Administration (2) ].. 8.8 Gender. No dose adjustment is recommended based on gender. The pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine are not significantly influenced by gender.. 8.9 Race. Available data indicate that there are no differences in the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine between Caucasian and Black healthy subjects following administration of Toviaz.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION.
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS. Angioedema of the face, lips, tongue, and/or larynx has been reported with fesoterodine. (5.1).Toviaz should be administered with caution to patients with clinically significant bladder outlet obstruction because of the risk of urinary retention. (5.2)Toviaz, like other antimuscarinic drugs, should be used with caution in patients with decreased gastrointestinal motility, such as those with severe constipation. (5.3)Toviaz should be used with caution in patients being treated for narrow-angle glaucoma, and only where the potential benefits outweigh the risks (5.4)Toviaz should be used with caution in patients with myasthenia gravis, disease characterized by decreased cholinergic activity at the neuromuscular junction. (5.8). Angioedema of the face, lips, tongue, and/or larynx has been reported with fesoterodine. (5.1).. Toviaz should be administered with caution to patients with clinically significant bladder outlet obstruction because of the risk of urinary retention. (5.2). Toviaz, like other antimuscarinic drugs, should be used with caution in patients with decreased gastrointestinal motility, such as those with severe constipation. (5.3). Toviaz should be used with caution in patients being treated for narrow-angle glaucoma, and only where the potential benefits outweigh the risks (5.4). Toviaz should be used with caution in patients with myasthenia gravis, disease characterized by decreased cholinergic activity at the neuromuscular junction. (5.8). 5.1 Angioedema. Angioedema of the face, lips, tongue, and/or larynx has been reported with fesoterodine. In some cases angioedema occurred after the first dose. Angioedema associated with upper airway swelling may be life-threatening. If involvement of the tongue, hypopharynx, or larynx occurs, fesoterodine should be promptly discontinued and appropriate therapy and/or measures to ensure patent airway should be promptly provided.. 5.2 Bladder Outlet Obstruction. Toviaz should be administered with caution to patients with clinically significant bladder outlet obstruction because of the risk of urinary retention [see Contraindications (4)].. 5.3 Decreased Gastrointestinal Motility. Toviaz, like other antimuscarinic drugs, should be used with caution in patients with decreased gastrointestinal motility, such as those with severe constipation.. 5.4 Controlled Narrow-Angle Glaucoma. Toviaz should be used with caution in patients being treated for narrow-angle glaucoma, and only where the potential benefits outweigh the risks [see Contraindications (4) ].. 5.5 Hepatic Impairment. Toviaz has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment and therefore is not recommended for use in this patient population [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7) and Dosage and Administration (2) ].. 5.6 Renal Impairment. Doses of Toviaz greater than mg are not recommended in patients with severe renal impairment [see Use In Specific Populations (8.6) and Dosage and Administration (2) ].. 5.7 Concomitant Administration with CYP3A4 Inhibitors. Doses of Toviaz greater than mg are not recommended in patients taking potent CYP3A4 inhibitor (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin).No dosing adjustments are recommended in the presence of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., erythromycin, fluconazole, diltiazem, verapamil and grapefruit juice).While the effect of weak CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. cimetidine) was not examined by clinical study, some pharmacokinetic interaction is expected, albeit less than that observed with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Drug Interactions (7.2) and Dosage and Administration (2) ].. 5.8 Myasthenia Gravis. Toviaz should be used with caution in patients with myasthenia gravis, disease characterized by decreased cholinergic activity at the neuromuscular junction.
