What is VIVJOA?
VIVJOA® (oteseconazole) is a prescription medicine used to reduce the frequency of vaginal yeast infections that keep coming back (recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis, RVVC) in females with a history of RVVC who are not pregnant and are not able to become pregnant.
It is not known if VIVJOA is safe and effective in females who have not had their first menstrual period.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not take VIVJOA if you:
- Are able to become pregnant.
- Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. VIVJOA may harm your unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, think you might be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant because of the risks to a fetus.
- Are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if VIVJOA passes into your breastmilk which can pose risks to a breastfed infant.
- Are allergic to oteseconazole or any of the ingredients in VIVJOA.
Before you take VIVJOA, tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, including if you have kidney or liver problems.
- Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
- Especially tell your doctor if you take medicines called breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) transporter substrates, including the cholesterol lowering medicine rosuvastatin. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for a list of these medicines if you are not sure. Taking VIVJOA (a BCRP inhibitor) with BCRP transporter substrates may increase the risk of side effects with these medicines.
