ALERT: US Boxed Warning
Arrhythmias:

Serious cardiac arrhythmias including ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, torsades de pointes, and QT prolongation have been reported in patients taking cisapride. From July 1993 through May 1999, more than 270 such cases have been spontaneously reported, including 70 fatalities. In approximately 85% of these cases the events occurred when cisapride was used in patients with known risk factors. These risk factors included the administration of other drugs which caused QT prolongation, inhibited the cytochrome P450 3A4 enzymes that metabolize cisapride, or depleted serum electrolytes; or the presence of disorders that may have predisposed patients to arrhythmias. In approximately 0.7% of these cases, the events occurred in the absence of identified risk factors; in the remaining cases, risk factor status was unknown. Because the cases were reported voluntarily from a population of unknown size, estimates of adverse event frequency cannot be made.

Numerous drug classes and agents increase the risk of developing serious cardiac arrhythmias. Cisapride is contraindicated in patients taking certain macrolide antibiotics (such as clarithromycin, erythromycin, and troleandromycin), certain antifungals (such as fluconazole, itraconazole, and ketoconazole), protease inhibitors (such as indinavir and ritonavir), phenothiazines (such as prochlorperazine and promethazine), Class IA and Class III antiarrhythmics (such as quinidine, procainamide, and sotalol); tricyclic antidepressants (such as amitriptyline); certain antidepressants (such as nefazodone and maprotiline); certain antipsychotic medications (such as sertindole), as well as other agents (such as bepridil, sparfloxacin, and grapefruit juice). The preceding list is not comprehensive.

QT prolongation, torsades de pointes (sometimes with syncope), cardiac arrest and sudden death have been reported in patients taking cisapride without the above-mentioned contraindicated drugs. Most patients had disorders that may have predisposed them to arrhythmias with cisapride. These include history of prolonged electrocardiographic QT intervals or known family histroy of congenital long QT syndrome; history of ventricular arrhythmias, ischemic or valvular heart disease; other structural heart defects; cardiomyopathy; congestive heart failure; clinically significant bradycardia; sinus node dysfunction; second or third degree atrioventricular block; respiratory failure; or conditions that result in electrolyte disorders (hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, and hypomagnesemia), such as severe dehydration, vomiting, or malnutrition; eating disorders; renal failure; or the administration of potassium-wasting diuretics or insulin in acute settings. Cisapride is contraindicated in patients with these conditions.

A 12-lead ECG should be performed prior to administration of cisapride. Treatment with cisapride should not be initiated if the QTc value exceeds 450 milliseconds. Serum electolytes (potassium, calcium and magnesium) and creatinine should be assessed prior to administration of cisapride and whenever conditions develop that may affect electrolyte balance or renal function.

If syncope, rapid or irregular heartbeat develop, patients should immediately stop taking cisapride and seek the attention of a physician.

Recommended doses of cisapride should not be exceeded.

Serious cardiac arrhythmias including ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, torsade de pointes, and QT prolongation have been reported in patients taking cisapride with other drugs that inhibit CYP3A4. Some of these events have been fatal. Concomitant oral or intravenous administration of the following drugs with cisapride may lead to elevated cisapride blood levels and is contraindicated:

Antibiotics: Oral or IV erythromycin, clarithromycin, troleandomycin

Antidepressants: Nefazodone

Antifungals: Oral or IV fluconazole, itraconazole, miconazole, oral ketoconazole

Protease inhibitors: Indinavir, ritonavir, amprenavir, atazanavir

Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.

Cisapride is also contraindicated for patients with a prolonged electrocardiographic QT intervals (QTc >450 msec), a history of QTc prolongation, or known family history of congenital long QT syndrome; clinically significant bradycardia, renal failure, history of ventricular arrhythmias, ischemic heart disease, and congestive heart failure; uncorrected electrolyte disorders (hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia); respiratory failure; and concomitant medications known to prolong the QT interval and increase the risk of arrhythmia, such as certain antiarrhythmics, certain antipsychotics, certain antidepressants, bepridil, sparfloxacin, and terodiline. The preceding lists of drugs are not comprehensive. Cisapride should not be used in patients with uncorrected hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia or who might experience rapid reduction of plasma potassium such as those administered potassium-wasting diuretics and/or insulin in acute settings.

Warnings/Precautions

Special note:

On March 24, 2000, the FDA announced that the manufacturer of cisapride would voluntarily withdraw its product from the U.S. market on July 14, 2000. This decision was based on 341 reports of heart rhythm abnormalities including 80 reports of deaths. The company will continue to make the drug available to patients who meet specific clinical eligibility criteria for a limited-access protocol (contact 1-800-JANSSEN).

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• Arrhythmias: [U.S. Boxed Warning]: Serious cardiac arrhythmias including ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, torsade de pointes, and QT prolongation have been reported in patients taking this drug. Many of these patients also took drugs expected to increase cisapride blood levels by inhibiting the cytochrome P450 3A4 enzymes that metabolize cisapride. These drugs include clarithromycin, erythromycin, troleandomycin, nefazodone, fluconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole, indinavir and ritonavir. Some of these events have been fatal. Cisapride is contraindicated in patients taking any of these drugs. QT prolongation, torsade de pointes (sometimes with syncope), cardiac arrest and sudden death have been reported in patients taking cisapride without the above-mentioned contraindicated drugs. Most patients had disorders that may have predisposed them to arrhythmias with cisapride. Cisapride is contraindicated for those patients with: history of prolonged electrocardiographic QT intervals; renal failure; history of ventricular arrhythmias, ischemic heart disease, and HF; uncorrected electrolyte disorders (hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia); respiratory failure; and concomitant medications known to prolong the QT interval and increase the risk of arrhythmia, such as certain antiarrhythmics, including those of Class Ia (such as quinidine and procainamide) and Class III (such as sotalol); tricyclic antidepressants (such as amitriptyline); certain tetracyclic antidepressants (such as maprotiline); certain antipsychotic medications (such as certain phenothiazines and sertindole), protease inhibitors, bepridil, sparfloxacin and terodiline. (The preceding lists of drugs are not comprehensive.) Recommended doses of cisapride should not be exceeded.

Disease-related concerns:

• Electrolyte disturbances: Should not be used in patients with uncorrected hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia, such as those with severe dehydration, vomiting or malnutrition, or those taking potassium-wasting diuretics; should also not be used in patients who might experience rapid reduction of plasma potassium, such as those administered potassium-wasting diuretics and/or insulin in acute settings.

Other warnings/precautions:

• Risk vs. benefit: Potential benefits should be weighed against risks prior administration of cisapride to patients who have or may develop prolongation of cardiac conduction intervals, particularly QTc. These include patients with conditions that could predispose them to the development of serious arrhythmias, such as multiple organ failure, COPD, apnea and advanced cancer. Patients should have a baseline ECG and an electrolyte panel (magnesium, calcium, potassium) prior to initiating cisapride (see Contraindications).

Food Interactions

Coadministration of grapefruit juice with cisapride increases the bioavailability of cisapride. Management: Minimize consumption of grapefruit/grapefruit juice during cisapride therapy; monitor closely for toxic effects (eg, QT interval prolongation, ventricular arrhythmia).

Pregnancy Considerations

Adverse events were observed in animal reproduction studies.

Breastfeeding Considerations

Cisapride is excreted into breast milk. The manufacturer recommends caution be used if administered to a nursing woman.

Monitoring Parameters

A 12-lead ECG should be performed prior to administration of cisapride. Treatment with cisapride should not be initiated if the QTc value exceeds 450 milliseconds. Serum electrolytes (potassium, calcium, and magnesium) and creatinine should be assessed prior to administration of cisapride and whenever conditions develop that may affect electrolyte balance or renal function.

Mechanism of Action

Enhances the release of acetylcholine at the myenteric plexus. In vitro studies have shown cisapride to have serotonin-4 receptor agonistic properties which may increase gastrointestinal motility and cardiac rate; increases lower esophageal sphincter pressure and lower esophageal peristalsis; accelerates gastric emptying of both liquids and solids.

Pharmacokinetics (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Onset of action: 0.5-1 hour

Protein binding: 97.5% to 98%

Metabolism: Extensive in liver via cytochrome P450 isoenzyme CYP 3A3/4 to norcisapride

Bioavailability: 35% to 40%

Half-life elimination: 6-12 hours

Excretion: Urine and feces (<10%)
