-
Before taking lenvatinib,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to lenvatinib, any other medications, or any of the ingredients in lenvatinib capsules. Ask your pharmacist for a list of the ingredients.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what other prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking or plan to take. Be sure to mention any of the following: certain medications for irregular heartbeat including amiodarone (Nexterone, Pacerone), disopyramide (Norpace), procainamide, quinidine (in Nuedexta), and sotalol (Betapace, Betapace AF, Sorine, Sotylize). Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects.
- tell your doctor if you have or have ever had seizures, high blood pressure, a stroke, a heart attack, headaches, changes in vision, especially those due to blood clots, a fistula (abnormal connection between 2 organs inside your body or between an organ and the outside of your body), a tear in the wall of your stomach or intestine, QT interval prolongation (an irregular heart rhythm that can lead to fainting, loss of consciousness, seizures, or sudden death), heart failure, low levels of calcium, potassium, or magnesium in your blood, bleeding problems, or heart, kidney, or liver disease. Also tell your doctor if you have ever been treated with radiation therapy.
- you should know that lenvatinib may decrease fertility in men and women. However, you should not assume that you or your partner cannot become pregnant. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. You will need to have a pregnancy test before you begin treatment with lenvatinib. If you can become pregnant, you should use birth control during your treatment with lenvatinib and for at least 4 weeks after your final dose. If you become pregnant while you are taking lenvatinib, call your doctor immediately. Lenvatinib may harm the fetus.
