Cholecystitis, cholangitis, cholelithiasis, and pancreatitis have been reported in clinical studies with teduglutide. For identification of the onset or worsening of gallbladder/biliary/pancreatic disease, patients should undergo laboratory assessment of bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, lipase and amylase within 6 months prior to starting teduglutide, and at least every 6 months while on treatment; or more frequently if needed. If clinically meaningful changes are seen, further evaluation including imaging of the gallbladder, biliary tract and/or pancreas is recommended; and the need for continued teduglutide treatment should be reassessed.
