ARXO-2026-0320 · Reported
acamprosate calcium: 2.1 and 4.2 give different instructions for one patient
2.1 reads “creatinine clearance of 30 to 50 mL/min”. 4.2 reads “creatinine clearance of ≤30 mL/min”. Example: At creatinine clearance exactly 30 mL/min the label gives a reduced dose (2.1, 5.1, 12.3) and a contraindication (4.2, 8.6, Highlights). The same text is in 8 labels from 8 labelers in the DailyMed release of 29 October 2026.
Consequence
Potential effect on a prescribing decision: low; careful reading of the whole label usually resolves it. Arxo does not say which instruction is correct and gives no dose.

How this finding was made
AI agents read the labels, compared their parts and, where marked, ran the example patient through executable rules; an AI agent then read each place in full, with tables and footnotes, and confirmed it. No clinician has assessed these places. A person at Arxo approved publication (2026-10-31).
