How to take AGAMREE®

Recommended daily dose of AGAMREE

6 mg/kg once daily, preferably with a meal

Up to 300 mg for patients weighing >50 kg (>110 lb)

Side effects may occur with AGAMREE. Do not stop giving your child AGAMREE without talking to their healthcare provider. If your child has side effects, their healthcare provider may adjust their dose.

AGAMREE should be started at a lower dose in patients with mild to moderate liver disease or if the patient is taking certain medications. Tell your child’s healthcare provider about all of their medical conditions and medications.

Checking and giving the proper daily dose

Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist to show you how to measure your prescribed daily dose using the oral syringe.

AGAMREE is an orange-flavored oral suspension (a liquid medicine taken by mouth) that contains 40 mg/mL of vamorolone, the active ingredient of AGAMREE. The amount you pull into the oral syringe should be calculated by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Be sure to check the dose in milliliters (mL).

Switching to AGAMREE without a gap in treatment

  • Patients should take AGAMREE exactly as prescribed by their doctor. Patients may switch to AGAMREE from another oral corticosteroid (such as prednisone or deflazacort) without a gap in treatment or reducing the dose of the prior corticosteroid before switching
  • Patients who are switching from treatment with another oral corticosteroid should start AGAMREE at the full dose of 6 mg/kg once daily

Important administration instructions

AGAMREE is for oral use only.

  • Place the oral syringe tip in the mouth toward the cheek and slowly push the plunger down until the oral syringe is empty
  • Administer exactly as prescribed by your child’s healthcare provider
  • Administer once daily, preferably with a meal
  • Do not mix with any type of liquids before administering the prescribed daily dose
  • Do not administer more than the prescribed daily dose
  • Do not stop AGAMREE suddenly, or change the amount taken, without first checking with your child’s healthcare provider. There may be a need for gradual dose reductions to decrease the risk of adrenal insufficiency crisis, which can be fatal.
