Selected Important Safety Information
- Severe thrombocytopenia and GI bleeding have been reported with concomitant use of ZOLINZA and other HDAC inhibitors (eg, valproic acid). Monitor platelet count every 2 weeks for the first 2 months.
- Carefully monitor patients concurrently administered ZOLINZA and coumarin derivatives for prolongation of prothrombin time and international normalized ratio.
- ZOLINZA was not evaluated in patients with hepatic impairment. Because ZOLINZA is predominantly eliminated through metabolism, treat patients with hepatic impairment with caution.
Before prescribing ZOLINZA, please read the physician Prescribing Information. The Patient Information also is available.
