Odevixibat (Oral)

Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Your doctor may occasionally change your child's dose. Use the medicine exactly as directed.

Give odevixibat capsule with each morning meal.

If your child is unable to swallow the medicine, read and carefully follow the instructions provided to you on how to prepare and use odevixibat. Ask a doctor or pharmacist if you do not understand these instructions.

Your child should swallow the capsule whole. Do not crush, chew, or break the capsule. If your child cannot swallow a capsule whole, open the capsule and mix the medicine with soft food or an age-appropriate liquid.

Odevixibat oral pellets come in a capsule that must be opened. Empty the pellets into a small amount of soft food such as applesauce, chocolate or rice pudding, oatmeal, or pureed bananas or carrots or an age-appropriate liquid (breast milk, infant formula, or water). Throw away the empty capsule.

Stir and give the mixture right away, then give the child a glass of water. Do not store the mixture for later use.

Let the oral pellets stay in the age-appropriate liquid for about 5 minutes to allow complete wetting, then give the oral pellets mixed in the liquid with an oral syringe.

Doses are based on weight. Your child's dose may change if the child gains or loses weight.

Your child will need blood test before and during treatment with odevixibat.

Call the doctor if your child's symptoms do not improve after 3 months.

Your doctor may recommend giving certain vitamin supplements to your child while using odevixibat. Avoid medication errors by using only the medicine your doctor prescribes.
