Adverse Reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: Cardiovascular Thrombotic Events [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] GI Bleeding, Ulceration and Perforation [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Hepatotoxicity [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.3 ) ] Hypertension [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Heart Failure and Edema [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Renal Toxicity and Hyperkalemia [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 ) ] Anaphylactic Reactions [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] Serious Skin Reactions [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.9) ] Hematologic Toxicity [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.12) ] Most common adverse reactions (>3 %) are: constipation, diarrhea, dyspepsia, nausea, rash (6.1) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Inc., at 1-888-375-3784 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Adverse reaction data were derived from patients who received oxaprozin in multidose, controlled, and open-label clinical trials.
Rates for events from clinical trial experience are based on 2,253 patients who took 1,200 mg to 1,800 mg oxaprozin per day in clinical trials.
Of these, 1,721 patients were treated for at least 1 month, 971 patients for at least 3 months, and 366 patients for more than 1 year.
Incidence Greater than 1% : In clinical trials of oxaprozin or in patients taking other NSAIDs, the following adverse reactions occurred at an incidence greater than 1%.
Cardiovascular system: edema.
Digestive system: abdominal pain/distress, anorexia, constipation, diarrhea, dyspepsia, flatulence, gastrointestinal ulcers (gastric/duodenal), gross bleeding/perforation, heartburn, liver enzyme elevations, nausea, vomiting.
Hematologic system: anemia, increased bleeding time.
Nervous system: CNS inhibition (depression, sedation, somnolence, or confusion), disturbance of sleep, dizziness, headache.
Skin and appendages: pruritus, rash.
Special senses: tinnitus.
Urogenital system: abnormal renal function, dysuria or frequency.
Incidence Greater than 1%: The following adverse reactions were reported in clinical trials or in patients taking other NSAIDs.
Body as a whole: appetite changes, death, drug hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis, fever, infection, sepsis.
Cardiovascular system: arrhythmia, blood pressure changes, congestive heart failure, hypertension, hypotension, myocardial infarction, palpitations, tachycardia, syncope, vasculitis.
Digestive system: alteration in taste, dry mouth, eructation, esophagitis, gastritis, glossitis, hematemesis, jaundice, liver function abnormalities including liver failure, stomatitis, hemorrhoidal or rectal bleeding.

6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of oxaprozin.
Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Body as a whole: serum sickness.
Digestive system: hepatitis, pancreatitis.
Hematologic system: agranulocytosis, pancytopenia.
Skin: pseudoporphyria, exfoliative dermatitis, erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, fixed drug eruption (FDE), toxic epidermal necrolysis (Lyell’s syndrome).
Urogenital: acute interstitial nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, acute renal failure.
