Active ingredients: Brivudine
Brivirac 125 mg tablets
Why is Brivirac used? What is it for?
Brivirac contains the active substance brivudine. Brivirac has an antiviral effect and prevents the virus that causes St. Anthony's Fire (the varicella-zoster virus) from multiplying.
Brivirac is used in adults who do not have abnormalities of the immune system (the body's defenses) for the early treatment of St. Anthony's Fire (herpes zoster).
Contraindications When Brivirac should not be used
Do not take Brivirac
- if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to the active substance brivudine
- if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to any of the other ingredients of Brivirac (see section 6)
- if you are pregnant or breastfeeding
- if you are under 18.
In particular, DO NOT take Brivirac:
- if you are taking anticancer medicines (chemotherapy), in particular if you are being treated with:
- 5-fluorouracil (also called 5-FU, an active substance belonging to the group called 5-fluoropyrimidines)
- creams, ointments, eye drops or any other form of medicine for external use containing 5-fluorouracil
- active ingredients converted by the body into 5-fluorouracil such as:
- capecitabine
- floxuridine
- tegafur
- any other active ingredient of the 5-fluoropyrimidine group
- associations of the aforementioned active ingredients
- if your immune system (i.e. your body's defenses against infections) is severely compromised; eg. if you are being treated with:
- anticancer medicines (chemotherapy) or
- immunosuppressive medicines (i.e. medicines that suppress or decrease the function of your immune system)
- if you are taking a medicine containing flucytosine to treat a fungal infection.
- if you are taking a warts medicine containing an active substance from the 5-fluoropyrimidine group.
Precautions for use What you need to know before taking Brivirac
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Brivirac.
Do not take Brivirac together with medicines containing 5-FU or other 5-fluoropyrimidines (see sections "Do not take Brivirac" and "Other medicines and Brivirac").

As an additional precaution, the activity of the DPD enzyme should be monitored before starting any treatment with 5-fluoropyrimidine drugs in patients who have recently been given Brivirac (see also sections 4.5 and 4.8).
Brivirac should not be used if the skin manifestations have already fully developed.
Brivirac should be used with caution in patients with chronic liver disease such as hepatitis. Post-marketing data indicate that prolonging treatment beyond the recommended duration of 7 days increases the risk of developing hepatitis (see also section 4.8).
Since lactose is present among the excipients, patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, the Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take the drug.
04.5 Interactions with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction -
Contraindications for concomitant use of 5-fluorouracil (including its topical preparations and pro-drugs, eg capecitabine, floxuridine, tegafur) or other 5-fluoropyrimidines such as flucytosine (see also section 4.3).
This interaction, resulting in increased fluoropyrimidine toxicity, is potentially fatal.
Brivudine, through its main metabolite bromovinyluracil (BVU), exerts an "irreversible inhibition of dihydroxypyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), an enzyme that regulates the metabolism of both natural nucleosides (eg: thymidine) and pyrimidine-based drugs such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU): As a consequence of inhibiting the enzyme, there is an overexposure and increased toxicity of 5-FU.
Clinical studies have shown that in healthy adults undergoing a course of Brivirac-based therapy (125 mg once a day for 7 days), complete functional recovery of the DPD enzyme activity occurs 18 days after the last administration.
Brivirac and 5-fluorouracil or other 5-fluoropyrimidines such as capecitabine, floxuridine, and tegafur (or combinations containing these active substances) or flucytosine should not be administered concurrently and a minimum interval of 4 weeks should be observed before starting drug treatment. based on 5-fluoropyrimidine. As an additional precaution, the activity of the DPD enzyme should be monitored before starting any treatment with 5-fluoropyrimidine drugs in patients who have recently been given Brivirac.
In the event of accidental administration of 5-FU or related drugs to patients treated with Brivirac, both drugs should be discontinued and drastic measures to reduce the toxicity of 5-FU should be implemented. Immediate hospitalization is recommended and all measures must be taken to prevent systemic infections and dehydration. Signs of 5-FU toxicity include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and in severe cases stomatitis, mucositis, toxic epidermal necrolysis, neutropenia and bone marrow depression.
Dopaminergic drugs and / or Parkinson's disease
Post-marketing experience indicates a possible interaction of brivudine with dopaminergic drugs against Parkinson's disease such as to precipitate chorea.
Other information

Studies in animals have not shown embryotoxic or teratogenic effects. Toxic effects on the fetus were observed only at high doses. However, the safety of Brivirac in pregnant women has not been established.
Animal studies have shown that brivudine and its major metabolite bromovinyluracil (BVU) are excreted in milk.
04.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines -
There are no studies on the effect of Brivirac on the ability to drive or use machines. When driving vehicles, operating machines or working without a secure foothold, it should be taken into account that dizziness and somnolence have been reported in some cases (see section 4.8).
04.8 Undesirable effects -
Summary of the safety profile
Brivudine has been administered to more than 3900 patients in clinical trials. The most serious, but rare, reaction was hepatitis. This reaction has also been observed during post-marketing surveillance.
The only common adverse reaction was nausea (2.1%). The other most frequent (uncommon and rare) adverse reactions were those related to the nervous system and psychiatric disorders SOC. An effect of brivudine on the CNS was also evidenced by post-marketing surveillance data.
Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders have been observed during clinical use of the product, also highlighted by post-marketing surveillance data.
The incidence and type of undesirable reactions were comparable to those known to occur with other nucleoside antiviral agents belonging to the same class.
Summary table of adverse reactions
The table below lists the adverse reactions to brivudine grouped by system in order of decreasing severity.
Description of selected adverse reactions
Brivudine may interact with chemotherapeutic agents of the 5-fluoropyrimidine class. This interaction, which induces increased fluoropyrimidine toxicity, is potentially fatal (see also 4.4 and 4.5).
Signs of 5-FU toxicity include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and, in severe cases, stomatitis, mucositis, toxic epidermal necrolysis, neutropenia and bone marrow depression (see also section 4.5).
Hepatotoxic effects have occurred both in clinical trials and during post-marketing experience. These effects consist of cholestatic or cytolytic hepatitis, cholestatic jaundice or elevated liver enzymes. Most cases of hepatitis started from 3 to 28 days after the 7-day end of treatment. Post-marketing data indicate that prolonging treatment beyond the recommended 7-day period increases the risk of hepatitis.
Pediatric population
Brivudine has not been studied in the pediatric population and its use in children is not indicated. Therefore the safety profile in the pediatric population is unknown.
Reporting of suspected adverse reactions
Reporting of suspected adverse reactions occurring after authorization of the medicinal product is important as it allows continuous monitoring of the benefit / risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system. "address www.agenziafarmaco.gov.it/it/responsabili.
04.9 Overdose -
Acute overdose with Brivirac has not been reported so far. Following intentional or accidental overdose, appropriate symptomatic and supportive therapy should be instituted.
05.0 PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES -
05.1 "Pharmacodynamic properties -
Antiviral
ATC code J05AB15
Brivudine, the active substance in Brivirac, is one of the strongest nucleoside analogues that inhibits the replication of the Varicella Zoster virus (VZV). Particularly sensitive are the clinical strains of the VZV. In virus-infected cells, brivudine undergoes a series of successive phosphorylations that produce brivudine triphosphate, which is responsible for inhibiting viral replication. The intracellular conversion of brivudine into its phosphorylated derivatives is catalyzed by virus-encoded enzymes, mainly thymidine kinase. phosphorylation occurs only in infected cells, which explains the high selectivity of brivudine for viral targets. Brivudine triphosphate, once formed in virus infected cells, remains inside the cells for more than 10 hours and interacts with viral DNA polymerase. This interaction results in potent inhibition of viral replication. The resistance mechanism is based. on viral thymidine kinase (TK) deficiency. However, in clinical practice, the requirements for resistance are chronic antiviral treatment and patient immunodeficiency, both of which are unlikely to occur with the indicated indications and posology.
The concentration of brivudine capable of inhibiting viral replication in vitro (IC50) corresponds to 0.001 mcg / ml (range 0.0003 - 0.003 mcg / ml). Thus, brivudine is approximately 200 to 1000 times more potent than aciclovir and penciclovir in inhibiting VZV replication in vitro. The maximum plasma concentration (Cssmax) of brivudine of individuals who received the proposed dose (125 mg once per day) is 1.7 mcg / ml (ie 1000 times the IC50 "in vitro") and the minimum concentration (Cssmin) is 0.06 mcg / ml (ie at least 60 times the IC50). Brivudine had an onset of action very rapid under conditions of high viral growth, reaching 50% inhibition of viral replication within 1 h of drug exposure. Brivudine also exhibits antiviral activity in experimental animals infected with Simian virus (monkeys) or herpes simplex virus type I (mice and guinea pigs). Brivudine is active against herpes simplex virus type I, while it does not significant antiviral activity against herpes simplex type II.
Inhibition of virus replication underlines the efficacy of Brivirac, in patients with the initial stage of herpes zoster, in accelerating the resolution of skin manifestations. The high in vitro antiviral potency of brivudine is reflected in the superior clinical efficacy observed in comparative clinical studies with aciclovir, regarding the time period from the start of treatment to the last vesicular eruption: the mean time was reduced by 25% with brivudine (13.5 hours) compared to aciclovir (18 hours).
In addition, the relative risk of developing postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) in immunocompetent patients over the age of 50 who were treated for herpes zoster with brivudine was 25% lower (33% of patients reported PHN ) compared to aciclovir (43% of patients reported PHN).
05.2 "Pharmacokinetic properties -
Absorption
Brivudine is rapidly absorbed following oral administration of Brivirac. The bioavailability of brivudine is approximately 30% of the oral dose of Brivirac, due to an elevated first pass metabolism. The mean peak steady state plasma concentrations of brivudine following administration of an oral dose of 125 mg of Brivirac is 1.7 μg / ml and is reached 1 h post dose. Food intake slightly delays the absorption of brivudine but does not affect the total amount of drug absorbed.
Distribution
Brivudine distributes extensively into tissues as indicated by the high volume of distribution (75 L). Brivudine is highly bound to plasma proteins (> 95%).
Biotransformation
Brivudine is extensively and rapidly metabolised by the enzyme pyrimidine phosphorylase which cleaves the carbohydrate to give bromovinyl uracil (BVU), a metabolite with no virustatic activity. BVU is the only metabolite detected in human plasma and its peak concentration. plasma is a factor of two higher than that of the parent compound.
BVU is further metabolised to uracylacetic acid, the major polar metabolite detected in human urine but not detectable in plasma.
Elimination
Brivudine is effectively eliminated with a total body clearance of 240 mL / min. The terminal plasma half-life of brivudine is approximately 16 h. Brivudine is excreted in the urine (65% of the administered dose) primarily as uracylacetic acid and multiple polar urea-like compounds. Unchanged brivudine accounts for less than 1% of the dose. of Brivirac excreted in the urine. The kinetic parameters of BVU, in terms of terminal half-life and clearance are of the same order of magnitude as the parent compound.
Linearity / non-linearity
Linear kinetics were observed over the dose range of 31.25 to 125 mg.
Steady state conditions for brivudine are reached after 5 days of daily administration of Brivirac, with no indication of further subsequent accumulation.
Elderly patients and patients with renal or hepatic impairment
The main kinetic parameters (AUC, Cmax and terminal plasma half-life) of brivudine measured in elderly patients and in patients with moderate to severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance between 26 and 50ml / min / 1.73m² of body surface area and creatinine clearance
05.3 Preclinical safety data -
Non-clinical data reveal no special hazard for humans for short-term use based on conventional studies of safety pharmacology, genotoxicity, carcinogenic potential, reproductive toxicity.
Preclinical effects of acute and chronic toxicity were observed in short-term studies at exposures considered sufficiently in excess of the maximum human exposure. Data collected from long-term animal studies, with daily drug exposure close to the clinical range, were not considered significant for short-term treatment in humans. The target organ of toxicity in all species used for preclinical studies was the liver.
