First-degree atrioventricular block or isolated right bundle branch block are allowed * The infant (and the mother, if breastfeeding the infant) taking any inhibitor of CYP3A4 taken within 2 weeks, any inducer of CYP3A4 taken within 4 weeks, any OCT 2 and MATE substrates within 2 weeks and known FMO1 or FMO3 inhibitors or substrates * Clinically significant abnormalities in laboratory test results * Ascertained or presumptive hypersensitivity to risdiplam or to the constituents of its formulation * Treatment with oral salbutamol or another beta-2 adrenergic agonist taken orally for SMA is not allowed.
