2.1 Important

Dosing Information Exclude pregnancy before starting ORILISSA or start ORILISSA within 7 days from the onset of menses. Take ORILISSA at approximately the same time each day, with or without food. Use the lowest effective dose, taking into account the severity of symptoms and treatment objectives. Limit the duration of use because of bone loss ( Table 1 ). Table 1.

Use of 200 mg twice daily is not recommended. 6 months Moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B)

2.2 Hepatic

Impairment No dosage adjustment of ORILISSA is required in women with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A). Compared to women with normal liver function, those with moderate hepatic impairment had approximately 3-fold higher elagolix exposures and those with severe hepatic impairment had approximately 7-fold higher elagolix exposures. Because of these increased exposures and risk for bone loss: ORILISSA 150 mg once daily is recommended for women with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B) with the duration of treatment limited to 6 months. Use of ORILISSA 200 mg twice daily is not recommended for women with moderate hepatic impairment. ORILISSA is contraindicated in women with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C).

2.3 Missed Dose

Instruct the patient to take a missed dose of ORILISSA on the same day as soon as she remembers and then resume the regular dosing schedule. 150 mg once daily: take no more than 1 tablet each day. 200 mg twice daily: take no more than 2 tablets each day.
