What is the most important information I should know about XCOPRI?

XCOPRI can cause serious side effects, including:

1. Serious or life threatening allergic reactions which may affect organs and other parts of your body like the liver or blood cells. You may or may not have a rash with these types of reactions.
   Call your healthcare provider right away and go to the nearest emergency room if you have any of the following:
   • swelling of your face, eyes, lips, or tongue
   • trouble swallowing or breathing
   • a skin rash
   • hives
   • fever, swollen glands, or sore throat that does not go away or comes and goes
   • painful sores in the mouth or around your eyes
   • yellowing of your skin or eyes
   • unusual bruising or bleeding
   • severe fatigue or weakness
   • severe muscle pain
   • frequent infections that do not go away

   These symptoms may be the first signs of a serious reaction. A healthcare provider should examine you to decide if you should continue taking XCOPRI.

2. Like other antiepileptic drugs, XCOPRI may cause suicidal thoughts or actions in a very small number of people, about 1 in 500.
   Call a healthcare provider right away if you have any of these symptoms, especially if they are new, worse, or worry you:
   • thoughts about suicide or dying
   • attempts to commit suicide

   How can I watch for early symptoms of suicidal thoughts and actions?

   • Pay attention to any changes, especially sudden changes, in mood, behaviors, thoughts, or feelings.
