Praziquantel tablets are indicated in patients aged 1 year and older for the treatment of the following infections: Schistosomiasis due to all species of schistosoma (for example, Schistosoma mekongi, Schistosoma japonicum, Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma hematobium ), and Clonorchiasis and Opisthorchiasis due to the liver flukes, Clonorchis sinensis/Opisthorchis viverrini (approval of this indication was based on studies in which the two species were not differentiated) Praziquantel tablets are an anthelmintic indicated in patients aged one year and older for the treatment of the following infections: Schistosomiasis due to all species of schistosoma (for example , Schistosoma mekongi , Schistosoma japonicum , Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma hematobium ), and, Clonorchiasis and Opisthorchiasis due to the liver flukes, Clonorchis sinensis and Opisthorchis viverrini

Praziquantel is contraindicated in: Patients who previously have shown hypersensitivity to praziquantel or any of the excipients in praziquantel tablets. Patients with ocular cysticercosis; since parasite destruction within the eye that occurs because of hypersensitivity reaction to the dead parasite after treatment may cause irreversible lesions, ocular cysticercosis must not be treated with praziquantel. Patients taking strong Cytochrome P450 3A enzyme (CYP 3A) inducers, such as rifampin [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6) and Drug Interactions ( 7.1 , 7.2 )] . Known hypersensitivity to praziquantel or any of its ingredients. ( 4.1 ) Concomitant administration with strong Cytochrome P450 3A enzyme (CYP 3A) inducers such as rifampin. ( 4 , 5.6 , 7.1 )

Clinical Deterioration : Potentially life threatening clinical deterioration can occur in patients treated during the acute phase of schistosomiasis. ( 5.1 ) Central Nervous System (CNS) Effects : Praziquantel can exacerbate central nervous system pathology due to schistosomiasis. Consider whether to administer to individuals reporting a history of epilepsy and/or other signs of potential central nervous systems involvement such as subcutaneous nodules suggestive of cysticercosis. ( 5.2 ) Potential Lack of Efficacy for Acute Schistosomiasis : This has been reported in observational studies ( 5.3 ). Cardiac Arrhythmias: Bradycardia, ectopic rhythms, ventricular fibrillation, and AV blocks has been observed with praziquantel administration. Monitor patients with cardiac arrhythmias during treatment ( 5.4 ). 5.1 Clinical Deterioration The use of praziquantel in patients with schistosomiasis may be associated with clinical deterioration (for example, paradoxical reactions, serum sickness Jarisch-Herxheimer like reactions: sudden inflammatory immune response suspected to be caused by the release of schistosomal antigens). These reactions predominantly occur in patients treated during the acute phase of schistosomiasis. They may lead to potentially life-threatening events, for example, respiratory failure, encephalopathy, papilledema, and/or cerebral vasculitis. 5.2 Central Nervous System (CNS) Effects Praziquantel can exacerbate central nervous system pathology due to …

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Published studies have not identified an association with praziquantel use during pregnancy and major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes (see Data) . In animal reproduction studies conducted in pregnant rats and rabbits no adverse developmental outcomes were observed with oral administration of praziquantel during organogenesis at approximately 0.65 times (rats) or 1.3 times (rabbits) the highest recommended human daily dose of 75 mg/kg/day, based on body surface area. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population are unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, …
