FDA Warnings

RYDAPT

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : RYDAPT may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman
Advise of the potential risk to a fetus
Fatal cases have occurred
In animal studies, midostaurin caused embryo-fetal toxicities, including late embryo-fetal death and reduced fetal birth weight, with delays in fetal growth at doses lower than the recommended human dose

VEMURAFENIB

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS New Primary Cutaneous Malignancies: Perform dermatologic evaluations prior to initiation of therapy, every 2 months while on therapy, and for up to 6 months following discontinuation of ZELBORAF
Serious Hypersensitivity Reactions including anaphylaxis and Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS Syndrome): Discontinue ZELBORAF for severe hypersensitivity reactions
Correct electrolyte abnormalities and control for cardiac risk factors for QT prolongation
7 ) Serious Ophthalmologic Reactions: Monitor for signs and symptoms of uveitis
