1. What Voriconazole Sandoz is and what it is used for

Voriconazole Sandoz contains the active substance voriconazole. Voriconazole Sandoz is an antifungal medicine that kills or inhibits the growth of fungi causing infections.
This medicine is used to treat patients (adults and children over 2 years of age) with:
invasive aspergillosis (a type of fungal infection caused by fungi of the genus Aspergillus);
candidaemia (another type of fungal infection caused by fungi of the genus Candida) in patients without neutropenia (patients who do not have abnormally low white blood cell counts);
serious invasive fungal infections caused by Candida species resistant to fluconazole (another antifungal medicine);
serious fungal infections caused by fungi of the genus Scedosporium or Fusarium (two different types of fungi).
Voriconazole Sandoz is intended for patients with progressive, potentially life-threatening fungal infections.
The medicine is also indicated for the prevention of fungal infections in high-risk patients after bone marrow transplantation.
This medicine should only be used under the supervision of a doctor.

2. Important information before using Voriconazole Sandoz

When not to use Voriconazole Sandoz:

  • if the patient is allergic to voriconazole or to sulfobutylether beta-cyclodextrin sodium (listed in section 6).

It is very important to inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines currently or recently taken by the patient, as well as any medicines the patient plans to use, including those available without a prescription or herbal medicines.
The following medicines must not be used during treatment with Voriconazole Sandoz:
terfenadine (used to treat allergies);
astemizole (used to treat allergies);
cisapride (used for stomach disorders);
pimozide (used to treat psychiatric disorders);
quinidine (used for heart rhythm disorders);
ivabradine (used to treat symptoms of chronic heart failure);
rifampicin (used to treat tuberculosis);
efavirenz (used to treat HIV infection) at doses of 400 mg or higher taken once daily;
carbamazepine (used to treat epilepsy);
phenobarbital (used to treat severe insomnia and epilepsy);
ergot alkaloids (e.g. ergotamine, dihydroergotamine, used to treat migraine);
sirolimus (used in organ transplant patients);
ritonavir (used to treat HIV infection) at doses of 400 mg or higher taken twice daily;
St. John’s wort (herbal remedy);
naloxegol [used to treat constipation caused by opioid pain medicines (e.g. morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, tramadol, codeine)];

Warnings and precautions
Before using Voriconazole Sandoz, discuss with your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if:
 the patient has previously had an allergic reaction to other azoles;
 the patient has or has ever had liver disease. The doctor may prescribe a lower dose of Voriconazole Sandoz and recommend blood tests to monitor liver function during treatment.
 the patient has been diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, irregular heartbeat, slow heart rate, or has had an electrocardiogram (ECG) finding called "prolonged QT interval".

During treatment, avoid any exposure to sunlight. It is important to wear protective clothing and use sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF), as skin photosensitivity reactions (UV sensitivity) may occur. This may be further increased by other medicines that make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, such as methotrexate. These precautions also apply to children.

While taking Voriconazole Sandoz:
inform the doctor immediately if the patient experiences:
o sunburn
o severe rash or blisters on the skin
o bone pain

The patient experiencing the skin changes described above may be referred by the doctor to a dermatologist. Regular dermatological consultations may be necessary. Long-term use of Voriconazole Sandoz may be associated with a small risk of developing skin cancer.

Tell the doctor if the patient develops symptoms of "adrenal insufficiency", a condition in which the adrenal glands do not produce enough steroid hormones such as cortisol. Symptoms include: chronic or prolonged fatigue, muscle weakness, loss of appetite, weight loss, abdominal pain.

If the patient develops symptoms of "Cushing's syndrome", in which the body produces too much of the hormone cortisol, leading to symptoms such as: weight gain, development of a fatty hump between the shoulders, rounded face, darkening of the skin on the abdomen, thighs, chest, and arms, thinning of the skin, increased tendency to bruising, elevated blood sugar levels, excessive hair growth, and excessive sweating, inform the doctor.

The doctor will monitor the patient’s liver and kidney function through blood tests.

Children and adolescents
Voriconazole Sandoz must not be used in children under 2 years of age.

Voriconazole Sandoz and other medicines
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines currently or recently taken by the patient, as well as any medicines the patient plans to use, including those available without a prescription.

The medicine is administered intravenously over 1 to 3 hours at a maximum infusion rate of 3 mg/kg body weight/hour.

If adverse reactions related to treatment occur in a patient receiving Voriconazole Sandoz for prevention of fungal infections, the treating physician may discontinue administration of Voriconazole Sandoz.
