IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION 

CONTRAINDICATIONS
Tiopronin delayed-release tablets are contradicted in patients with hypersensitivity to tiopronin or any other components of tiopronin delayed-release tablets.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Proteinuria
Proteinuria, including nephrotic syndrome, and membranous nephropathy, have been reported with tiopronin use. Pediatric patients receiving greater than 50 mg/kg of tiopronin per day may be at increased risk for proteinuria. Monitor patients for the development of proteinuria and discontinue therapy in patients who develop proteinuria.
Hypersensitivity Reactions
Hypersensitivity reactions (drug fever, rash, fever, arthralgia and lymphadenopathy) have been reported.

ADVERSE REACTIONS
Most common adverse reactions (≥ 10%) are nausea, diarrhea or soft stools, oral ulcers, rash, fatigue, fever, arthralgia, proteinuria, and emesis.

DRUG INTERACTIONS
Alcohol
Tiopronin is released faster from tiopronin delayed-release tablets in the presence of alcohol and the risk for adverse events associated with tiopronin delayed-release tablets when taken with alcohol is unknown. Avoid alcohol consumption 2 hours before and 3 hours after taking tiopronin delayed-release tablets.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Lactation: Breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with tiopronin delayed-release tablets.
Pediatric Use: Tiopronin delayed-release tablets are not approved for use in pediatric patients weighing less than 20 kg.
Geriatric Use: Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Tiopronin delayed-release tablets are indicated, in combination with high fluid intake, alkali, and diet modification, for the prevention of cystine stone formation in adults and pediatric patients 9 years of age and older with severe homozygous cystinuria, who are not responsive to these measures alone.
