Important Administration Instructions
During or immediately after the administration of FRINDOVYX, adequate amounts of fluid should be ingested or infused to force diuresis in order to reduce the risk of urinary tract toxicity. Therefore, FRINDOVYX should be administered in the morning.
Recommended Dosage for Malignant Diseases
Intravenous
When used as the only oncolytic drug therapy, the recommended dosage for the initial course of FRINDOVYX for patients with no hematologic deficiency is 40 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg given intravenously in divided doses over a period of 2 to 5 days. Other intravenous regimens include 10 mg/kg to 15 mg/kg given every 7 to 10 days or 3 mg/kg to 5 mg/kg twice weekly.
Adjust the dosage of FRINDOVYX based on the specific regimen administered, response to treatment, myelosuppression or other adverse reactions, and patient risk factors.
Preparation, Handling and Administration
FRINDOVYX is a hazardous drug. Follow applicable special handling and disposal procedures1. Caution should be exercised when handling and preparing FRINDOVYX. To minimize the risk of dermal exposure, always wear gloves when handling vials containing FRINDOVYX.

Intravenous Administration
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Do not use cyclophosphamide vials if there are signs of particulate matter.
Cyclophosphamide does not contain any antimicrobial preservative and thus care must be taken to assure the sterility of prepared solutions. Use aseptic technique.
For Direct Intravenous Injection
Withdraw the prescribed dose of FRINDOVYX from the vial with a syringe and dilute with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP to a concentration of 20 mg/mL of cyclophosphamide.
For Intravenous Infusion
Withdraw the prescribed dose of FRINDOVYX from the vial with a syringe and dilute FRINDOVYX to a concentration of 2 mg/mL with any of the following diluents:
- 0.45% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP
- 5% Dextrose Injection, USP
- 5% Dextrose and 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP
To reduce the likelihood of adverse reactions that appear to be administration rate-dependent (e.g., facial swelling, headache, nasal congestion, scalp burning), cyclophosphamide should be injected or infused very slowly. Duration of the infusion also should be appropriate for the volume and type of carrier fluid to be infused.
Storage of Diluted Cyclophosphamide Solution:
If not used immediately, for microbiological integrity, cyclophosphamide solutions should be stored as described in Table 1.
