The following dosing information is available for GALAFOLD (migalastat hcl):
It isessential that the manufacturer's labeling be consulted for more detailed information on dosage and administration of this drug. Dosage summary:
*Select adults with confirmed Fabry disease who have an amenable GLA variant for treatment with migalastat hydrochloride.
*Treatment is indicated for patients with an amenable GLA variant that is interpreted by a clinical genetics professional as causing Fabry disease (pathogenic, likely pathogenic) in the clinical context of the patient. Consultation with a clinical genetics professional is strongly recommended in cases where the amenable GLA variant is of uncertain clinical significance (VUS, variant of uncertain significance) or may be benign (not causing Fabry disease).
*Dosage of migalastat hydrochloride is expressed in terms of migalastat. The recommended dosage of migalastat is 123 mg orally once every other day at the same time of day.
*Take on an empty stomach. Do not consume food at least 2 hours before and 2 hours after taking migalastat hydrochloride to give a minimum 4 hours fast.
*Do not take migalastat hydrochloride on 2 consecutive days.
*If a dose is missed entirely for the day, take the missed dose only if it is within 12 hours of the normal time that the dose should have been taken. If more than 12 hours have passed, resume taking migalastat hydrochloride at the next planned dosing day and time and according to the every-other-day dosing schedule.
*Swallow capsules whole; do not cut, crush, or chew.

Migalastat/Caffeine-Containing Products SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: The mechanism of this interaction is unknown. CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of a caffeine-containing product may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of migalastat.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Avoid coadministration of migalastat with caffeine-containing products. Do not administer caffeine-containing products within 2 hours before and 2 hours after taking migalastat.(1) DISCUSSION: Coadministration of migalastat with caffeine 190 mg decreased the migalastat maximum concentration (Cmax) by 60% and area-under-curve (AUC) by 55%.(1) |

Risk Summary: There were three pregnant women with Fabry disease exposed to migalastat hydrochloride in clinical trials. As such, the available data are not sufficient to assess drug associated risks of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, no adverse developmental effects were observed.
The estimated background risk for major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S.
general population, the background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Animal Data: No adverse developmental effects were observed with oral administration of migalastat to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at doses up to 26 and 54 times, respectively, the recommended dose based on AUC. No effects on post-natal development were observed following oral administration of up to 500 mg/kg migalastat twice daily to pregnant rats (16 times the recommended dose based on AUC) during organogenesis and through lactation.

Risk Summary: There are no human data available on the presence of migalastat in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Migalastat is present in the milk of lactating rats. When a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will be present in human milk.
The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for migalastat hydrochloride and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from migalastat hydrochloride or from the underlying maternal condition. Animal Data: Migalastat concentrations in milk from rats following oral administration of up to 500 mg/kg twice daily (approximately 16 times the recommended human dose based on AUC) was approximately 2.5 times higher than levels in the rat maternal plasma at 4 hours post-dose. The concentration of migalastat in plasma from pups was approximately 11 times lower than the maternal plasma concentrations at 1 hour post-dose.
