UNLOCKING INSULIN POTENTIAL IN THE RIGHT PATIENT IS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Do not use CYCLOSET in patients with hypersensitivity to ergot-related drugs, bromocriptine or to any of the excipients in CYCLOSET.

Do not use CYCLOSET in patients with syncopal migraines. May precipitate hypotension.

Do not use CYCLOSET in nursing women. May inhibit lactation. There have been postmarketing reports of stroke with bromocriptine in this patient population, although causality has not been proven. Based on CYCLOSET clinical trials, there is no evidence of increased risk for stroke when CYCLOSET is used to treat type 2 diabetes.

CYCLOSET can cause orthostatic hypotension and syncope, particularly upon initiation or dose escalation. Use caution in patients taking anti-hypertensive medications. Orthostatic vital signs should be assessed prior to initiation of CYCLOSET and periodically thereafter.

Advise patients during early treatment to avoid situations that could lead to injury if syncope were to occur, and to make slow postural changes.

Pathological gambling and exacerbation of psychotic disorders have been reported with bromocriptine generally given in higher doses than what is approved for diabetes treatment. There have been no reported cases of psychoses or pathological gambling among CYCLOSET-treated patients in clinical trials. The use of CYCLOSET in patients with severe psychotic disorders is not recommended.

CYCLOSET may cause somnolence, particularly when initiating therapy. Advise patients not to drive or operate heavy machinery if symptoms of somnolence occur.

Concomitant use with dopamine antagonists, such as neuroleptic agents, may diminish the effectiveness of both drugs and is not recommended.

Effectiveness and safety are unknown in patients already taking dopamine receptor agonists for other indications and concomitant use is not recommended.

There have been no clinical studies establishing conclusive evidence of macrovascular risk reduction with CYCLOSET. CYCLOSET has not been associated with increased risk of macrovascular events.

The safety and effectiveness of CYCLOSET in pediatric patients have not been established.

In clinical trials, the most common adverse reactions reported in ≥5% of patients treated with CYCLOSET, and reported more commonly than in patients treated with placebo, included nausea, fatigue, dizziness, vomiting, and headache. Postmarketing reports with higher doses of bromocriptine used for other indications include psychotic disorders, hallucinations, and fibrotic complications.
