*Patients with mild-to-moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A or B) should take 0.92 mg once every other day.1

Dosing Considerations

Recommended Dosage in Patients With Hepatic Impairment

  • In patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A or B), initiate ZEPOSIA with a 7-day titration. After initial titration, the recommended dosage of ZEPOSIA in these patients is 0.92 mg taken orally once every other day, starting on Day 8. Use of ZEPOSIA in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C) is not recommended1

Additional Dosing Considerations

  • ZEPOSIA can be taken with or without food1
  • If a dose of ZEPOSIA is missed during the first 2 weeks of treatment, reinitiate treatment using the titration regimen1
  • If a dose of ZEPOSIA is missed after the first 2 weeks of treatment, continue with the treatment as planned1

Additional Dosing Considerations

  • ZEPOSIA can be taken with or without food1
  • If a dose of ZEPOSIA is missed during the first 2 weeks of treatment, reinitiate treatment using the titration regimen1
  • If a dose of ZEPOSIA is missed after the first 2 weeks of treatment, continue with the treatment as planned1

STEP 1: Enroll

ZEPOSIA 360 SupportTM helps support patients every step of the way

STEP 2: Screen

Prior to initiating treatment with ZEPOSIA, perform a one-time screening for complete blood count, cardiac evaluation, liver function tests, ophthalmic evaluation, current or prior medications, and vaccinations.

SCREENINGS FOR ALL PATIENTS1:

Obtain blood work (within the last 6 months)

  • Complete blood count (CBC), including lymphocyte count (within the last 6 months or after discontinuation of prior UC therapy)
  • Transaminase and total bilirubin levels

Obtain a one-time electrocardiogram (ECG)

  • To determine whether pre-existing conduction abnormalities are presentb

ZEPOSIA is contraindicated in patients who have the presence of Mobitz type II second-degree or third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block, sick sinus syndrome, or sino-atrial block, unless the patient has a functioning pacemaker.1

SCREENINGS FOR SELECT PATIENTS PRIOR TO FIRST DOSE1:

If there is a history of uveitis, macular edema, or diabetes mellitus, then an ophthalmic evaluation of the fundus, including the macula, must be completedc

If there is no documentation of history of varicella-zoster virus (VZV)/chicken pox, or documentation of a full course vaccination, then test for anitbodiesd

  • If live attenuated immunizations are required, administer at least 1 month prior to initiation

Evaluate current and prior medications before initiation of treatment1

bIn patients with certain preexisting conditions, advice from a cardiologist should be sought—see Warnings and Precautions in Prescribing Information. ZEPOSIA was not studied in patients who had: Cardiac conduction or rhythm disorders, including sick sinus syndrome, significant QT prolongation (QTcF >450 msec in males, >470 msec in females), risk factors for QT prolongation, or other conduction abnormalities or cardiac condition that in the opinion of the treating investigator could jeopardize the patient’s health.1

cPatients with a history of uveitis and patients with a history of diabetes mellitus are at increased risk of macular edema during ZEPOSIA therapy. The incidence of macular edema is also increased in patients with a history of uveitis. In addition to the examination of the fundus, including the macula, prior to treatment, patients with diabetes mellitus or a history of uveitis should have regular follow-up examinations.1

dVZV vaccination of antibody-negative patients is recommended prior to commencing treatment.1

AV=atrioventricular; CBC=complete blood count; ECG=electrocardiogram; QT=an extended interval between the heart contracting and relaxing; QTcF=corrected QT interval by Fridericia; UC=ulcerative colitis; VZV=varicella-zoster virus.

BMS wants to ensure your patients have access to everything they need to get started on ZEPOSIA. Eligible commercially insured patients are qualified for in-home, nationwide, baseline assessments with scheduling and appointments available 7 days per week.e

This includes:

An HCP can request in-home services through the CoverMyMeds® portal or by checking the appropriate box on the Start Form for patients.

eHome visits for initial routine medical tests are not available to patients enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal or state healthcare programs, or to patients living in Rhode Island. Additional eligibility and Terms and Conditions apply.

ECG=electrocardiogram; VZV=varicella-zoster virus.

AV=atrioventricular; BPM=beats per minute; HR=heart rate; JAKi=Janus kinase inhibitor; UC=ulcerative colitis.

STEP 3: Initiate ZEPOSIA

See how the starter pack facilitates titration

Initiate ZEPOSIA with a 7-day titration schedule. After initial titration, the recommended once-daily dosage of ZEPOSIA is 0.92 mg taken orally, starting on Day 8.1

An up-titration schedule should be used to reach the maintenance dose, as a transient decrease in heart rate and atrioventricular (AV) conduction delays may occur.1

Patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A or B) should initiate ZEPOSIA with the 7-day titration. After initial titration, the recommended dosage of ZEPOSIA in these patients is 0.92 mg taken orally once every other day, starting on Day 8. Use of ZEPOSIA in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C) is not recommended.1
