2.2 Recommended Dosage for Pediatric Patients Aged 6 Years and Older With NDO

Pediatric Patients Weighing Greater than 25 kg and up to 35 kg

The recommended dosage of Toviaz is 4 mg orally once daily. If needed, dosage may be increased to Toviaz 8 mg orally once daily. For administration instructions, see Dosage and Administration (2.6).

Pediatric Patients Weighing Greater than 35 kg

The recommended starting dosage of Toviaz is 4 mg orally once daily. After one week, increase to Toviaz 8 mg orally once daily. For administration instructions, see Dosage and Administration (2.6).

2.3 Recommended Dosage in Adult Patients With Renal Impairment

The recommended dosage of Toviaz in adult patients with renal impairment is described in Table 1 [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6)]. For administration instructions, see Dosage and Administration (2.6).

2.5 Toviaz Dosage Modifications Due to Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors

Adult Patients with OAB

The maximum recommended dosage is Toviaz 4 mg orally once daily in adult patients taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Drug Interactions (7.2) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. For administration instructions, see Dosage and Administration (2.6).

Pediatric Patients with NDO

Pediatric Patients Weighing Greater than 25 kg and up to 35 kg

The use of Toviaz in pediatric patients weighing greater than 25 kg and up to 35 kg and taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors is not recommended [see Drug Interactions (7.2) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. For administration instructions, see Dosage and Administration (2.6).

Pediatric Patients Weighing Greater than 35 kg

The maximum recommended dosage is Toviaz 4 mg orally once daily in pediatric patients weighing greater than 35 kg and taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Drug Interactions (7.2) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. For administration instructions, see Dosage and Administration (2.6).

2.6 Administration Instructions

Swallow Toviaz whole with liquid. Do not chew, divide, or crush. Take with or without food [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
