Uses

BLUJEPA is a triazaacenaphthylene bacterial type II topoisomerase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of the following infections caused by susceptible microorganisms: • Uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTI) in female adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kilograms (kg). • Uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older weighing at least 45 kilograms who have limited or no alternative treatment options. Approval of this indication is based on limited clinical safety data for this indication.

Interactions

• CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Increase gepotidacin exposure. • Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use of BLUJEPA with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. • Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use of BLUJEPA with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors in patients with uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea. • CYP3A4 Inducers: Decrease gepotidacin exposure. • For uUTI: Avoid concomitant use of BLUJEPA with strong CYP3A4 inducers. • For uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea: Avoid concomitant use of BLUJEPA with strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers. • CYP3A4 Substrates: Avoid concomitant use of BLUJEPA with drugs that are extensively metabolized by CYP3A4 where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions. • Digoxin: Due to an increase in digoxin exposures, consider monitoring digoxin serum concentration, as appropriate, with concomitant administration of BLUJEPA.
