Apremilast immediate-release tablets (Otezla, adults) - selected U.S. label sections
- Product / population
- Adult immediate-release OTEZLA tablets only; not OTEZLA XR.
- Renal measure
- Cockcroft-Gault creatinine clearance in mL/min
Selected renal sections only, not a complete monograph. Exact product, indication, patient population, renal method and all other contraindications/interactions remain controlling.
Second independent renal reference and clinician adjudication remain pending; no all-indication, dialysis or pediatric dose may be inferred from an omitted field.
Renal dosing - immediate-release product
No adjustment is required for mild or moderate renal impairment. For adult Cockcroft-Gault CrCl below 30 mL/min, reduce the maintenance dose to 30 mg orally once daily. During initial titration, use only the morning doses in the labeled titration schedule and omit the afternoon doses.
Formulation safety
The extended-release formulation has a different severe-impairment recommendation and is listed separately. This entry does not infer a dialysis schedule or a pediatric dose.
