Pyridostigmine bromide is indicated for pretreatment against the lethal effects of soman nerve agent poisoning in adults. Pyridostigmine bromide is intended for use in conjunction with protective garments, including a mask. At the first sign of nerve agent poisoning, pyridostigmine bromide should be stopped, and atropine and pralidoxime therapy started immediately. The evidence for the effectiveness of pyridostigmine bromide as pretreatment against soman-induced toxicity was derived from animal studies alone [see Clinical Studies (14) ]. FOR MILITARY MEDICAL USE ONLY Pyridostigmine bromide is a cholinesterase inhibitor indicated for pretreatment against the lethal effects of soman nerve agent poisoning in adults. ( 1 ) Pyridostigmine bromide is for use in conjunction with Protective garments, including a gas mask, and Immediate atropine and pralidoxime therapy at the first sign of nerve agent poisoning. ( 1 )

Pyridostigmine bromide extended-release tablets are contraindicated in patients with: Mechanical intestinal or urinary obstruction Known hypersensitivity to pyridostigmine or other anticholinesterase agents Mechanical intestinal or urinary obstruction. ( 4 ) Known hypersensitivity to pyridostigmine or other anticholinesterase agents. ( 4 )

At the first sign of soman poisoning pyridostigmine must be stopped, and atropine and 2-PAM must be administered immediately. ( 5.1 ) Use with caution in persons with increased risk of anticholinergic reactions, such as persons with bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bradycardia, cardiac arrhythmias, beta blocker treatment (increased risk of anticholinergic reactions). ( 5.2 ) Use with caution in persons with bromide sensitivity. ( 5.3 ) In case of serious adverse reactions, advise personnel to temporarily discontinue pyridostigmine and seek immediate medical attention. ( 5.4 ) 5.1 Risk of Improper Use of Pyridostigmine Bromide Risk of Not Stopping Pyridostigmine Bromide and Using Atropine and Pralidoxime in the Event of Soman Exposure Pyridostigmine bromide is for use as pretreatment for exposure to soman nerve agent and must not be taken after exposure to soman nerve agent [see Dosage and Administration (2.1 , 2.2) ]. Pyridostigmine bromide pretreatment offers no benefit against the nerve agent soman unless the nerve agent antidotes, atropine and pralidoxime (2-PAM), are administered once symptoms of poisoning appear. Discontinue pyridostigmine at the first sign of nerve agent poisoning because it may exacerbate the effects of a sublethal exposure to soman if taken immediately before exposure (e.g., when the gas attack alarm is given) or at the same time as poisoning by soman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ]. Signs of nerve agent poisoning can …

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Available data from case reports and case series over decades of use with pyridostigmine bromide have not identified a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Treatment with pyridostigmine bromide for soman nerve agent poisoning during pregnancy should not be delayed because exposure to soman during pregnancy may increase the risk of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. In animal studies, oral administration of pyridostigmine during organogenesis resulted in adverse developmental effects (increased embryofetal mortality and fetal structural abnormalities), at clinically relevant doses (see Data) …
