🩺 Clinical
Fedratinib is used to treat certain types of myelofibrosis (MF; a cancer of the bone marrow in which the bone marrow is replaced by scar tissue and causes decreased blood cell production). Fedratinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps stop or slow the spread of cancer cells.

⏳ Availability & generic status
We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.
Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Patent
- Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Substance patent
- Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
- Formulation (product) patent
- Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
- Method-of-use patent
- A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
- Skinny label
- A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
- Exclusivity
- FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
- Paragraph IV
- A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
- RLD / RS
- Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
- TE / AB rating
- FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
- LOE (loss of exclusivity)
- The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.
Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

INREBIC is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult patients with intermediate-2 or high-risk primary or secondary (post-polycythemia vera or post-essential thrombocythemia) myelofibrosis (MF) ( 1 ).
⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • Recommended Dosage: 400 mg orally once daily with or without food for patients with a baseline platelet count of greater than or equal to 50 × 10 9 /L ( 2.2 ). • For patients who have difficulty swallowing capsules whole or those with a nasogastric tube, the content of the capsule(s) may be dispersed in Ensure ® Plus ( 2.2 ). • Reduce dose for patients taking strong CYP3A inhibitors or with severe renal impairment ( 2.3 , 2.4 , 7.1 , 8.6 ).
2.1Required Concomitant Medications During treatment with INREBIC, all patients should receive prophylaxis with thiamine 100 mg orally daily [see Dosage and Administration (2.7) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ].
2.2Recommended Dosage Conduct baseline testing of thiamine (Vitamin B1) levels prior to initiation of INREBIC [see Dosage and Administration (2.7) , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . The recommended dosage of INREBIC is 400 mg taken orally once daily for patients with a baseline platelet count of greater than or equal to 50 × 10 9 /L. Modify the dose for patients using concomitant strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, and in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance (CL cr ) 15 mL/min to 29 mL/min) [see Dosage and Administration (2.4 , 2.5) ] .
Patients that are on treatment with ruxolitinib before the initiation of INREBIC must taper and discontinue according to the ruxolitinib prescribing information. Administration Information: • INREBIC may be taken with or without food. Administration with a high fat meal may reduce the incidence of nausea and vomiting. • If a dose of INREBIC is missed, the next scheduled dose should be taken the following day. • For patients who have difficulty swallowing capsule(s) whole or those with a nasogastric tube: o Open the capsule(s). o In a glass container, mix the content of the capsule(s) with approximately 180 mL of Ensure ® Plus liquid nutritional supplement [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] at room temperature [between 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F)]. o Promptly administer the mixture orally or through a nasogastric tube (French size 14 or 16) within 2 hours of preparation. o If using a nasogastric tube, flush it with 60 mL of water after administering the mixture [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3 )]. o Discard the prepared dose if not given within 2 hours.
2.3Monitoring for Safety Obtain the following blood tests prior to starting treatment with INREBIC, periodically during treatment, and as clinically indicated [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 , 5.2 , 5.4 , 5.5) ]: • Thiamine (Vitamin B1) level • Complete blood count with platelets • Creatinine and BUN • Hepatic panel • Amylase and lipase
2.4Dose Modifications with Concomitant Use of Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors Reduce INREBIC dose when administering with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors to 200 mg once daily. In cases where coadministration with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor is discontinued, INREBIC dosage should be increased to 300 mg once daily during the first two weeks after discontinuation of the CYP3A4 inhibitor, and then to 400 mg once daily thereafter as tolerated [see Drug Interactions (7.1) ] .

Prophylaxis with antiemetics and treatment with antidiarrhea medications are recommended ( 5.3 ). • Hepatic Toxicity: Manage by dose reduction or interruption ( 5.4 ). • Amylase and Lipase Elevation: Manage by dose reduction or interruption ( 5.5 ). • Uveitis: Monitor for symptoms and refer for ophthalmological evaluation ( 5.6 ). • Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE): Monitor for development of MACE ( 5.7 ). • Thrombosis: Evaluate and treat symptoms of thrombosis promptly ( 5.8 ). • Secondary Malignancies: Monitor for development of secondary malignancies, particularly in patients who are current or past smokers ( 5.9 ). • Symptom Exacerbation Following Interruption or Discontinuation of Treatment: Manage with supportive care and consider resuming treatment with INREBIC ( 5.10 ).
5.1Encephalopathy, Including Wernicke's Serious and fatal encephalopathy, including Wernicke's encephalopathy, has occurred in INREBIC-treated patients. Serious cases were reported in 1.3% (8/608) of patients treated with INREBIC in clinical trials and 0.16% (1/608) of cases were fatal. Wernicke's encephalopathy is a neurologic emergency resulting from thiamine (Vitamin B1) deficiency.
Signs and symptoms of Wernicke's encephalopathy may include ataxia, mental status changes, and ophthalmoplegia (e.g., nystagmus, diplopia). Any change in mental status, confusion, or memory impairment should raise concern for potential encephalopathy, including Wernicke's, and prompt a full evaluation including a neurologic examination, assessment of thiamine levels, and imaging. Assess thiamine levels in all patients prior to starting INREBIC.
Do not start INREBIC in patients with thiamine deficiency. However, if thiamine levels are low, replete thiamine prior to starting treatment. While on treatment all patients should receive prophylaxis with oral thiamine and should have thiamine levels assessed as clinically indicated.
If encephalopathy is suspected, immediately discontinue INREBIC and initiate parenteral thiamine. Monitor until symptoms resolve or improve and thiamine levels normalize [see Dosage and Administration (2.7) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] .
5.2Anemia and Thrombocytopenia Treatment with INREBIC can cause anemia and thrombocytopenia. Anemia New or worsening Grade 3 anemia occurred in 34% of INREBIC-treated patients. The median time to onset of the first Grade 3 anemia was approximately 2 months, with 75% of cases occurring within 3 months.
Mean hemoglobin levels reached nadir after 12 to 16 weeks with partial recovery and stabilization after 16 weeks. Red blood cell transfusions were received by 51% of INREBIC-treated patients and permanent discontinuation of INREBIC occurred due to anemia in 1% of patients. Consider dose reduction for patients who become red blood cell transfusion dependent [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) ] .
Thrombocytopenia New or worsening Grade ≥3 thrombocytopenia during the randomized treatment period occurred in 12% of INREBIC-treated patients. The median time to onset of the first Grade 3 thrombocytopenia was approximately 1 month; with 75% of cases occurring within 4 months. Platelet transfusions were received by 3.1% of INREBIC-treated patients.
Permanent discontinuation of treatment due to thrombocytopenia and bleeding that required clinical intervention both occurred in 2.1% of INREBIC-treated patients. Obtain a complete blood count (CBC) at baseline, periodically during treatment, and as clinically indicated. For Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with active bleeding or Grade 4 thrombocytopenia, interrupt INREBIC until resolved to less than or equal to Grade 2 or baseline.
Restart dose at 100 mg daily below the last given dose and monitor platelets as clinically indicated [see Do…

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The data in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Section
5.1Encephalopathy, including Wernicke's, reflect exposure to INREBIC as a single agent in 608 patients who received more than one dose (ranging from 30 mg to 800 mg) in Studies JAKARTA, ARD11936, JAKARTA2, ARD12042, ARD12888, TED12037/TED12015, INT12497, and TES13519, of whom 459 were patients with myelofibrosis, including 97 patients previously treated with ruxolitinib. Among the 608 patients receiving INREBIC, the median drug exposure was 37 weeks and the median number of cycles initiated was 9 cycles. Fifty-nine percent of 608 patients were exposed for 6 months or longer and 39% were exposed for 12 months or longer.
Using the dataset described above, the most common adverse reactions in >20% of patients (N=608) were diarrhea, nausea, anemia, vomiting, fatigue, thrombocytopenia, and constipation. JAKARTA Trial The safety of INREBIC was evaluated in the randomized treatment period of the JAKARTA trial [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Key eligibility criteria included adult patients with intermediate-2 or high-risk primary MF or post-PV MF or post-ET MF with splenomegaly, platelet count ≥50 × 10 9 /L, and no splenectomy.
Patients received INREBIC at 400 mg daily (n=96) or placebo (n=95). Among patients receiving INREBIC, 82% were exposed for more than 6 months and 65% for more than one year. Patients had a median duration of exposure to INREBIC 400 mg daily of 15.5 months compared with placebo where patients were treated for 6 months or until disease progression after which patients were allowed to crossover to active treatment.
The median age of patients who received INREBIC was 65 years (range: 27 to 86 years), 59% were male, 90% were White, 8% were Asian, 1% were Black, 1% were Other, and 92% had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 21% of INREBIC-treated patients. Serious adverse reactions in ≥2% of patients receiving INREBIC 400 mg daily included cardiac failure (5%) and anemia (2%).
Fatal adverse reactions of cardiogenic shock occurred in 1% of patients receiving INREBIC 400 mg daily. Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 14% of patients receiving INREBIC. Most frequent reasons for permanent discontinuation in ≥2% of patients receiving INREBIC included cardiac failure (3%), thrombocytopenia, myocardial ischemia, diarrhea, and increased blood creatinine (2% each).
Dosage interruptions due to an adverse reaction during the randomized treatment period occurred in 21% of patients who received INREBIC. Adverse reactions requiring dosage interruption in >3% of patients who receiv…
🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Reduce INREBIC dose as recommended ( 2.3 , 7.1 ). • Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers: Avoid use of INREBIC ( 7.1 ). • CYP3A4, CYP2C19, or CYP2D6 Substrates: Dose modifications of substrates drugs may be needed ( 7.2 ). • OCT2 and MATE1/2-K Substrates: Dose modifications of substrate drugs may be needed ( 7.2 ).
7.1Effect of Other Drugs on INREBIC Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors Coadministration of INREBIC with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor increases fedratinib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Increased exposure may increase the risk of adverse reactions. Consider alternative therapies that do not strongly inhibit CYP3A4 activity.
Alternatively, reduce the dose of INREBIC when administering with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers Coadministration of INREBIC with a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducer can decrease fedratinib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Decreased exposure may reduce the effectiveness of INREBIC.
Avoid INREBIC with strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers. Dual CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 Inhibitors Coadministration of INREBIC with a dual CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 inhibitor increases fedratinib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Increased exposure may increase the risk of adverse reactions.
Due to potential increase of exposure, patients taking concomitant dual CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 inhibitors require more intensive safety monitoring and, if necessary, dose modifications of INREBIC based on adverse reactions [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) ] .
7.2Effect of INREBIC on Other Drugs CYP3A4, CYP2C19, or CYP2D6 Substrate Drugs Coadministration of INREBIC with drugs that are CYP3A4 substrates, CYP2C19 substrates, or CYP2D6 substrates increases the concentrations of these drugs, which may increase the risk of adverse reactions of these drugs [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Monitor for adverse reactions and adjust the dose of drugs that are CYP3A4, CYP2C19, or CYP2D6 substrates as necessary when coadministered with INREBIC. OCT2 and MATE1/2-K Substrate Drugs Coadministration of INREBIC with drugs that are renally excreted via organic cation transporter (OCT2) and multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE)1/2-K can decrease renal clearance of those drugs [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .
Monitor for adverse reactions and consider dose modifications for drugs that are renally excreted via OCT2 or MATE1/2-K (e.g., metformin), as necessary when coadministered with INREBIC.
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS • Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed ( 8.2 ).
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on INREBIC use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of fedratinib to pregnant rats during organogenesis at doses considerably lower than the recommended human daily dose of 400 mg/day resulted in adverse developmental outcomes (see Data ) . Consider the benefits and risks of INREBIC for the mother and possible risks to the fetus when prescribing INREBIC to a pregnant woman.
The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. Adverse outcomes in pregnancy occur regardless of the health of the mother or the use of medications. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.
Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rats, fedratinib administration at a dose of 30 mg/kg/day during organogenesis (gestation days 6 to 17) was associated with adverse developmental outcomes including skeletal variations (such as additional ossification center of neuronal arches). These effects occurred in rats at approximately 0.1 times the clinical exposure based on AUC at the recommended daily dose. At lower doses of 10 mg/kg/day (0.01 times the clinical exposure at the recommended daily dose), fedratinib administered to pregnant rats resulted in maternal toxicity of decreased gestational weight gain.
In an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rabbits, fedratinib administration during organogenesis (gestation Days 6 to 18) did not produce developmental or maternal toxicity at doses up to the highest dose level tested, 30 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.08 times the clinical exposure at the recommended daily dose). In a separate study, administration of 80 mg/kg/day fedratinib to rabbits resulted in maternal mortality. In a pre- and postnatal study in rats, fedratinib was administered to pregnant female rats at doses of 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg/day from Day 6 of gestation through Day 20 of lactation, with weaning on Day 21.
A slight decrease in maternal body weight gain during gestation occurred at 30 mg/kg/day. The offspring from the high dose (30 mg/kg) had decreased body weight preweaning in both sexes and postweaning through the maturation phase in males. These effects occurred at exposures approximately 0.1 times the clinical exposure at the recommended daily dose.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of fedratinib or its metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise patients not to breastfeed during treatment with INREBIC, and for at least 1 month after the last dose.
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of INREBIC in pediatric patients have not been established.
8.5Geriatric Use Of the total number of patients with myelofibrosis who received an INREBIC dose of 400 mg in the clinical studies, 47.3% were greater than 65 years of age and 12.3% were greater than 75 years of age. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of INREBIC were observed between these patients and younger patients.
8.6Renal Impairment Reduce INREBIC dose when administered to patients with severe renal impairment (CL cr 15 mL/min to 29 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault) [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . No modification of the starting dose is recommended for patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (CL cr 30 mL/min to 89 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault). Due to potential increase of exposure, patients with preexisting moderate renal impairment require more intensive safety monitoring, and if necess…

In an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rabbits, fedratinib administration during organogenesis (gestation Days 6 to 18) did not produce developmental or maternal toxicity at doses up to the highest dose level tested, 30 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.08 times the clinical exposure at the recommended daily dose). In a separate study, administration of 80 mg/kg/day fedratinib to rabbits resulted in maternal mortality. In a pre- and postnatal study in rats, fedratinib was administered to pregnant female rats at doses of 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg/day from Day 6 of gestation through Day 20 of lactation, with weaning on Day 21.
A slight decrease in maternal body weight gain during gestation occurred at 30 mg/kg/day. The offspring from the high dose (30 mg/kg) had decreased body weight preweaning in both sexes and postweaning through the maturation phase in males. These effects occurred at exposures approximately 0.1 times the clinical exposure at the recommended daily dose.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Fedratinib is an oral kinase inhibitor with activity against wild type and mutationally activated Janus Associated Kinase 2 (JAK2) and FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3). Fedratinib is a JAK2-selective inhibitor with higher inhibitory activity for JAK2 over family members JAK1, JAK3 and TYK2. Abnormal activation of JAK2 is associated with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including myelofibrosis and polycythemia vera.
In cell models expressing mutationally active JAK2 V617F or FLT3 ITD , fedratinib reduced phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT3/5) proteins, inhibited cell proliferation, and induced apoptotic cell death. In mouse models of JAK2 V617F -driven myeloproliferative disease, fedratinib blocked phosphorylation of STAT3/5, and improved survival, white blood cell counts, hematocrit, splenomegaly, and fibrosis.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Fedratinib inhibited cytokine-induced STAT3 phosphorylation in whole blood from patients with myelofibrosis. The inhibition of STAT3 phosphorylation was maximal approximately 2 hours after the first dose, with values returning to near baseline at 24 hours. After daily administration of fedratinib, levels of inhibition at steady state PK were similar to the maximal inhibition reached after the first dose of 300 (0.75 times the recommended dose), 400 or 500 mg (1.25 times the recommended dose) of fedratinib.
Cardiac Electrophysiology The potential for QTc prolongation with fedratinib was evaluated in 31 patients with solid tumors. No large mean increase in the QTc interval (>20 ms) was detected with daily dosing of fedratinib 500 mg (1.25 times the recommended dose) for 14 days.
12.3Pharmacokinetics INREBIC at 300 mg to 500 mg once daily (0.75 to 1.25 times the recommended dose) results in a dose proportional increase in geometric mean fedratinib peak concentrations (C max ) and the area under the plasma concentration time curve over the dosing interval (AUC tau ). The mean steady state levels are achieved within 15 days of daily dosing. The mean accumulation ratio ranged between 3- to 4-fold.
At the dose of 400 mg once daily, the geometric mean (coefficient of variation, %CV) fedratinib C max is 1804 ng/mL (49%) and AUC tau is 26870 ng.hr/mL (43%) in patients with myelofibrosis. Absorption Following 400 mg once daily, fedratinib median time to peak concentrations (T max ) at steady-state is 3 hours (range: 2 to 4 hours). Following the administration of a single 400 mg dose of fedratinib delivered orally or via nasogastric tube with contents from four 100-mg capsules dispersed in approximately 180 mL nutritional supplement (Ensure ® Plus), the systemic exposures of fedratinib are similar.
Effect of Food A low-fat, low-calorie (total 162 calories: 6% from fat, 78% from carbohydrate and 16% from protein) or a high-fat, high-calorie (total 815 calories: 52% from fat, 33% from carbohydrate and 15% from protein) meal increased area under the curve over time to infinity (AUC inf ) up to 24% and C max up to 14% of a single 500 mg dose (1.25 times the recommended dose) of fedratinib. Distribution The apparent volume of distribution of fedratinib at steady-state is 1770 L in patients with myelofibrosis at 400 mg once daily dose.
Fedratinib is 92% or greater bound to human plasma proteins. Elimination Fedratinib pharmacokinetics is characterized by a biphasic disposition with an effective half-life of 41 hours, a terminal half-life of approximately 114 hours, and apparent clearance (CL/F) (%CV) of 13 L/hr (51%) in patients with myelofibrosis. Metabolism Fedratinib is metabolized by CYP3A4, CYP2C19, and flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3).
Fedratinib accounts for approximately 80% of total circulating drug in plasma after oral administration. Excretion Following a single oral dose of radiolabeled fedratinib, 77% (23% unchanged) of the administered dose was excreted in feces and 5% (3% unchanged) was eliminated in…

This Medication Guide has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Revised: 3/2026 MEDICATION GUIDE INREBIC ® (inn-REH-bik) (fedratinib) capsules, for oral use What is the most important information I should know about INREBIC?
INREBIC may cause serious side effects, including: • Encephalopathy (including Wernicke's encephalopathy). A serious and sometimes fatal neurological problem called encephalopathy (including Wernicke's encephalopathy) has happened in some people who take INREBIC. Wernicke’s encephalopathy is a neurologic emergency that can happen if you do not have enough Vitamin B1 (thiamine) in your body.
Your healthcare provider will do a blood test to check your Vitamin B1 level and treat you with Vitamin B1 if your level is too low before starting treatment with INREBIC. Your healthcare provider may also check your Vitamin B1 level during treatment with INREBIC. You should take a Vitamin B1 supplement (100 mg of thiamine) daily during treatment with INREBIC.
Your healthcare provider may tell you to stop taking INREBIC if you develop side effects during treatment with INREBIC. Get emergency medical help right away if you develop the following: o confusion, memory problems or drowsiness o problems with balance and movement, such as difficulty walking o eye problems, such as double or blurred vision or abnormal eye movements Call your healthcare provider right away if you experience diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss that does not get better with treatment. See “What are the possible side effects of INREBIC” for more information about side effects .
What is INREBIC? INREBIC is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with certain types of myelofibrosis (MF). It is not known if INREBIC is safe and effective in children.
Before taking INREBIC, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you: • have low Vitamin B1 (thiamine) levels • have low red blood cell or platelet counts • have or have had liver problems • have or have had kidney problems • are a current or past smoker • have had a blood clot, heart attack, other heart problems, or stroke • have or have had any other cancer • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if INREBIC may harm your unborn baby. • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.
It is not known if INREBIC passes into your breast milk. You should not breastfeed during treatment with INREBIC and for at least 1 month after your last dose. Talk to your healthcare provider about the best way to feed your baby during treatment with INREBIC.
Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take , including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Taking INREBIC with certain other medicines may cause side effects from INREBIC or from the other medicine and may affect the way that INREBIC works. Know the medicines you take.
