  • Of the 295 patients on LORVIQUA, only 8.0% required dose modification due to CNS adverse reactions and 62.5% of these patients experienced resolution of CNS adverse reactions after dose modification2 
  • Adverse reactions can be effectively managed with dose modifications and/or standard supportive medical therapy2
