PONVORY™

Proven to help control the symptoms and signs of relapsing MS in adults

SUPERIOR at reducing relapses* and the number of new and enlarging lesions^† vs a proven oral therapy (Aubagio®)

Unlike an injection or infusion, PONVORY™ is an oral, once-daily pill that is discreet and can be taken anywhere. Most people can take their first dose at home^‡

*PONVORY™ was shown to reduce the average number of relapses per year.

^†PONVORY™ was shown to reduce the average number of new gadolinium-enhancing (GdE) T1 and new or enlarging T2 lesions.

^‡Most people take their first dose of PONVORY™ at home, but first-dose monitoring is required for people with certain cardiac conditions (slow heart rate, certain types of heart block, and heart attack or heart failure occurring >6 months prior to treatment initiation and in stable condition). Supervision of this first dose should take place in a healthcare setting.

Approved by the FDA for relapsing MS

PONVORY™ is part of a group of MS medicines called disease-modifying therapies (DMTs).

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT PONVORY™?

PONVORY™ may cause serious side effects, including:

Infections - PONVORY™ can increase your risk of serious infections that can be life-threatening and cause death. PONVORY™ lowers the number of white blood cells (lymphocytes) in your blood. This will usually go back to normal within 1 to 2 weeks of stopping treatment. Your healthcare provider should review a recent blood test of your white blood cells before you start taking PONVORY™. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any of these symptoms of an infection during treatment and for 1 to 2 weeks after your last dose of PONVORY™:
- fever
- tiredness
- body aches
- chills
- nausea
- vomiting
- headache with fever, neck stiffness, sensitivity to light, nausea, or confusion (these may be symptoms of meningitis, an infection of the lining around your brain and spine)
Your healthcare provider may delay starting or may stop your PONVORY™ treatment if you have an infection.
Slow heart rate (bradycardia or bradyarrhythmia) when you start taking PONVORY™. PONVORY™ can cause your heart rate to slow down, especially after you take your first dose. You should have a test to check the electrical activity of your heart called an electrocardiogram (ECG) before you take your first dose.
Only Start your treatment with PONVORY™ using the Starter Pack. You must use the PONVORY™ Starter Pack by slowly increasing the dose over a 14-day period to help reduce the effect of slowing of your heart rate. It is important to follow the recommended dosing instructions.
Call your healthcare provider if you experience the following symptoms of slow heart rate:
- dizziness
- lightheadedness
- feeling like your heart is beating slowly or skipping beats
- shortness of breath
- confusion
- chest pain
- tiredness

Do not take PONVORY™ if you:

have had a heart attack, chest pain called unstable angina, stroke or mini-stroke (transient ischemic attack or TIA), or certain types of heart failure in the last 6 months.

Talk to your healthcare provider if you have any of these conditions, or do not know if you have any of these conditions.

Using PONVORY™ and other medicines together may affect each other causing serious side effects. Especially tell your healthcare provider if you take or have taken: Medicines to control your heart rhythm (antiarrhythmics), or blood pressure (antihypertensives), or heart-beat (such as calcium channel blockers or beta-blockers); medicines that affect your immune system, such as alemtuzumab; and medicines such as rifampin, phenytoin, or carbamazepine.
