2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Recommended daily dosage is 30 mg in divided doses (2.1) If no adequate response, increase dosage in increments of 10 mg per day every 1 to 3 weeks to a maximum dosage of 30 mg twice daily (60 mg per day). Consider more gradual dosage increases in patients at risk for hypotension (2.1) Consider discontinuing tranylcypromine sulfate therapy gradually because of the risk for withdrawal effects (2.3, 5.8, 9.3) Switching from or to other MAOIs or other antidepressants: See full prescribing information for instructions (2.2, 7.1) 2.1 Recommended Dosage Tranylcypromine Sulfate Tablets, USP are for oral use. The recommended dosage is 30 mg per day (in divided doses). If patients do not have an adequate response, increase the dosage in increments of 10 mg per day every 1 to 3 weeks to a maximum 30 mg twice daily (60 mg per day). Dosage increases should be made more gradually in patients at risk for hypotension (e.g., geriatric patients) [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ]. 2.2 Switching to or from Other Antidepressants Switching from Contraindicated Antidepressants to Tranylcypromine Sulfate After stopping treatment with contraindicated antidepressants, a time period of 4 to 5 half-lives of the other antidepressant or any active metabolite should elapse before starting treatment with tranylcypromine sulfate. After stopping treatment with an MAO inhibitor antidepressant, a time period of at least one week or 4 to 5 half-lives of the other MAO inhibitor (whichever is longer) should elapse before starting treatment with tranylcypromine sulfate to reduce the risk of additive effects [see Contraindications (4.1) and Drug Interactions (7.1)]. Switching from Tranylcypromine Sulfate to Other MAOIs or Contraindicated Antidepressants After stopping tranylcypromine sulfate treatment, at least one week should elapse before starting another MAOI (intended to treat MDD) or other contraindicated antidepressants. Refer to the prescribing information of the subsequently used drug for product-specific advice on a medication-free interval [see Contraindications (4.1) and Drug Interactions (7.1) ]. 2.3 Discontinuing Treatment Withdrawal effects, including delirium, have been reported with abrupt discontinuation of tranylcypromine sulfate therapy. Higher daily doses and longer duration of use appear to be associated with a higher risk of withdrawal effects. Consider discontinuing tranylcypromine sulfate therapy by slow, gradual dosage reduction [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) and Drug Abuse and Dependence (9.3)]. 2.4 Screen for Bipolar Disorder and Elevated Blood Pressure Prior to Starting Tranylcypromine Sulfate Prior to initiating treatment with tranylcypromine sulfate: Screen patients for a history of mania [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]. Measure blood pressure [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2, 5.5)].

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Tranylcypromine Sulfate is indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adult patients who have not responded adequately to other antidepressants. Tranylcypromine Sulfate is not indicated for the initial treatment of MDD due to the potential for serious adverse reactions and drug interactions, and the need for dietary restrictions [see Contraindications (4), Warnings and Precautions (5), and Drug Interactions (7)] . Tranylcypromine Sulfate is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adult patients who have not responded adequately to other antidepressants (1) Tranylcypromine Sulfate is not indicated for the initial treatment of MDD due to the potential for serious adverse reactions and drug interactions, and the need for dietary restrictions (1, 4, 5, 7)

9.2 Abuse Abuse of tranylcypromine sulfate has been reported. Some of these patients had a history of previous substance abuse. The potential for abuse and the increased risk of serious adverse reactions with higher doses should be taken into account when considering the use of tranylcypromine sulfate for patients at increased risk for substance abuse.

9.3 Dependence Dependence, evidenced by precipitation of withdrawal effects following abrupt discontinuation of tranylcypromine sulfate has been reported. Reported withdrawal effects included delirium (even with low daily doses), restlessness, anxiety, confusion, hallucinations, headache, weakness, diarrhea, and/or rapid relapse into depression. Thrombocytopenia and liver enzyme increases have also been observed in association with tranylcypromine sulfate withdrawal from high doses [see Overdosage (10.1)] Withdrawal effects have appeared within 1 to 3 days of discontinuation and have persisted for several weeks after discontinuation. The use of daily doses greater than recommended and longer duration of use appear to be associated with a higher risk of withdrawal effects. Monitor for withdrawal effects for at least 1 week after discontinuation. Consider discontinuing tranylcypromine sulfate therapy by slow, gradual dose reduction [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

9 DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE 9.2 Abuse Abuse of tranylcypromine sulfate has been reported. Some of these patients had a history of previous substance abuse. The potential for abuse and the increased risk of serious adverse reactions with higher doses should be taken into account when considering the use of tranylcypromine sulfate for patients at increased risk for substance abuse. 9.3 Dependence Dependence, evidenced by precipitation of withdrawal effects following abrupt discontinuation of tranylcypromine sulfate has been reported. Reported withdrawal effects included delirium (even with low daily doses), restlessness, anxiety, confusion, hallucinations, headache, weakness, diarrhea, and/or rapid relapse into depression. Thrombocytopenia and liver enzyme increases have also been observed in association with tranylcypromine sulfate withdrawal from high doses [see Overdosage (10.1)] Withdrawal effects have appeared within 1 to 3 days of discontinuation and have persisted for several weeks after discontinuation. The use of daily doses greater than recommended and longer duration of use appear to be associated with a higher risk of withdrawal effects. Monitor for withdrawal effects for at least 1 week after discontinuation. Consider discontinuing tranylcypromine sulfate therapy by slow, gradual dose reduction [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

10 OVERDOSAGE 10.1 Overdosage Symptoms, Signs, and Laboratory Abnormalities Overdose of tranylcypromine sulfate can cause the adverse reactions generally associated with tranylcypromine sulfate administration [see Warnings and Precautions (5) , Adverse Reactions (6) and Drug Interactions (7.1)] . However, these reactions may be more severe, including fatal reactions. Effects reported with overdosage of tranylcypromine sulfate and/or other MAOIs include: Insomnia, restlessness, and anxiety, progressing in severe cases to agitation, mental confusion, and incoherence; delirium; seizures Hypotension, dizziness, weakness, and drowsiness, progressing in severe cases to extreme dizziness and shock Hypertension with severe headache and other symptoms/complications Twitching or myoclonic fibrillation of skeletal muscles, with hyperpyrexia, sometimes progressing to generalized rigidity and coma 10.2 Overdosage Management There are no specific antidotes for tranylcypromine sulfate. For current information on the management of poisoning or overdosage, contact a poison control center at 1-800-222-1222 Abrupt withdrawal of tranylcypromine sulfate following overdosage can precipitate withdrawal symptoms, including delirium [see Warnings and Precautions 5.9) and Drug Abuse and Dependence (9.3)] Medical management should normally consist of general supportive measures, close observation of vital signs, and steps to counteract specific manifestations as they occur [see Warnings and Precautions (5)]. The toxic effects of tranylcypromine sulfate may be delayed or prolonged following the last dose of the drug [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)] . Therefore, the patient should be closely observed for at least 1 week. Data on the dialyzability of tranylcypromine are lacking.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS See Full Prescribing Information for a list of products, foods and beverages that can interact with tranylcypromine sulfate (7) 7.1 Clinically Significant Drug Interactions Tables 3 and 4 lists drug classes and individual products, respectively, with a potential for interaction with tranylcypromine sulfate, describes the predominant observed or anticipated risks, and provides advice on concomitant use. Given serious adverse reactions with multiple agents, patients should avoid taking over-the-counter medications or dietary supplements without prior consultation with a healthcare provider able to provide advice on the potential for interactions. Time to Start Tranylcypromine Sulfate after Discontinuation of a Contraindicated Drug For products that are contraindicated with tranylcypromine sulfate, a time period of 4 to 5 half-lives of the other product or any active metabolite should elapse before starting treatment with tranylcypromine sulfate. After stopping treatment with an MAO inhibitor antidepressant, a time period of at least 1 week or 4 to 5 half-lives of the other MAO inhibitor (whichever is longer) should elapse before starting treatment with tranylcypromine sulfate because of the risk for clinically significant adverse reactions after discontinuation due to persistent MAO inhibition [see Dosage and Administration (2.2), Warnings and Precautions (5.9)] . This period can be several weeks long (e.g., a minimum of 5 weeks for fluoxetine given fluoxetine's long half-life). Refer to the prescribing information of the contraindicated product for relevant information. Time to Start Contraindicated Drug after Discontinuation of Tranylcypromine Sulfate The potential for interactions persists after discontinuation of tranylcypromine sulfate until MAO activity has sufficiently recovered. Inhibition of MAO may persist up to 10 days following discontinuation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9)] . After stopping tranylcypromine sulfate, at least 1 week should elapse before starting another MAOI (intended to treat MDD) or other contraindicated antidepressants. Refer to the prescribing information of any agent considered for subsequent use for recommendations on the duration of a waiting period after discontinuation of a MAO inhibitor. If in the absence of therapeutic alternatives and emergency treatment with a contraindicated drug (e.g., linezolid, intravenous methylene blue, direct-acting sympathomimetic drugs such as epinephrine) becomes necessary and cannot be delayed, discontinue tranylcypromine sulfate as soon as possible before initiating treatment with the other agent, and monitor closely for adverse reactions. Table 3 Clinically Significant Drug Interactions with Drug Classes* * Some drugs in these groups may also be listed in Table 4 below. ** Sympathomimetic drugs include amphetamines as well as cold, hay fever or weight-reducing products that contain vasoconstrictors such as pseudoephedrine, phenylephrine, and ephedrine) a [See Contraindications (4.1)] ; b [See Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] ; c [See Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] d If not otherwise specified in this table, consider avoiding concomitant use (see also information on medication-free intervals, use agent at the lowest appropriate dosage, monitor for effects of the interaction, advise the patient to report potential effects). e [See Warnings and Precautions (5.5)] ; f [See Warnings and Precautions (5.14)] ; g [See Overdosage (10.1)] Product Clinical Comment on Concomitant Use a Predominant Effect/Risk [Hypertensive Reaction (HR) b or Serotonin Syndrome (SS) c ] Agents with blood pressure-reducing effects Use with caution d Hypotension e Non-selective H1 receptor antagonists Contraindicated a Increased anticholinergic effects Beta-adrenergic blockers (see also agents or procedures with blood pressure-reducing effects) Use with the caution d More pronounced bradycardia, postural hypotension e Blood glucose-lowering agents Dosage reduction of such agents may be necessary.
