Sumatriptan Injection

Name: Sumatriptan Injection

Description

Sumavel DosePro contains sumatriptan succinate, a selective 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonist. Sumatriptan succinate is chemically designated as 3-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-N-methyl-indole-5-methanesulfonamide succinate (1:1), and it has the following structure:

The empirical formula is C12H21N3O2S•C4H6O4, representing a molecular weight of 413.5. Sumatriptan succinate is a white to off-white powder that is readily soluble in water and in saline.

Sumatriptan solution is a clear, colorless to pale yellow, sterile, nonpyrogenic solution for subcutaneous delivery. Each 0.5 mL of Sumavel DosePro 8 mg/mL solution contains 4 mg of sumatriptan (base) as the succinate salt and 3.8 mg of sodium chloride, USP in Water for Injection, USP. Each 0.5 mL of Sumavel DosePro 12 mg/mL solution contains 6 mg of sumatriptan (base) as the succinate salt and 3.5 mg of sodium chloride, USP, in water for injection, USP. The pH range of both solutions is approximately 4.2 to 5.3. The osmolality of both solutions is 291 mOsmol.

Sumavel DosePro is a pre-filled, single-use, disposable, needle-free subcutaneous delivery system delivering sterile sumatriptan injection. Sumavel DosePro consists of the following components: a gray plastic handle and snap-off tip, a lavender (4 mg) or green (6 mg) lever, and a glass medication chamber that is pre-filled with 4 mg or 6 mg per 0.5 mL sumatriptan injection. Utilizing pressure from a compressed nitrogen gas source in the handle, Sumavel DosePro delivers the medication by pushing it through a small, precise hole in the glass medication chamber. The resulting stream of medication is propelled through the skin and is delivered subcutaneously without a needle, following a biphasic pressure profile.

Overdosage

Coronary vasospasm was observed after intravenous administration of Sumatriptan Injection [see Contraindications (4)]. Overdoses would be expected from animal data (dogs at 0.1 g/kg, rats at 2 g/kg) to possibly cause convulsions, tremor, inactivity, erythema of the extremities, reduced respiratory rate, cyanosis, ataxia, mydriasis, injection site reactions (desquamation, hair loss, and scab formation), and paralysis.

The elimination half-life of sumatriptan is about 2 hours [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]; therefore, monitoring of patients after overdose with Sumatriptan Injection should continue for at least 10 hours or while symptoms or signs persist.

It is unknown what effect hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis has on the serum concentrations of sumatriptan.
