Nintedanib Information
(nin ted' a nib )
-
Before taking nintedanib,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to nintedanib, any other medications, or any of the ingredients in nintedanib capsules. Ask your pharmacist or check the manufacturer's patient information for a list of the ingredients.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what other prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, and nutritional supplements you are taking or plan to take. Be sure to mention any of the following: anticoagulants (''blood thinners'') such as warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven); aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) and naproxen (Aleve, Anaprox, Naprelan); carbamazepine (Carbatrol, Epitol, Equetro, Tegretol, Teril); erythromycin (E.E.S., Ery-Tab, Eryc); ketoconazole; laxatives; oral steroids such as dexamethasone (Decadron, Dexpak), methylprednisolone (Medrol), and prednisone; phenytoin (Dilantin, Phenytek); pirfenidone (Esbriet); rifampin (Rifadin, Rimactane, in Rifamate, in Rifater); or stool softeners. Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects.
- tell your doctor what herbal products you are taking, especially St. John's wort.
- tell your doctor if you or anyone in your family has ever had a bleeding problem, if you have or have ever had liver or heart disease, diverticular disease (diverticulitis; small pouches in the lining of the large intestine that can become inflamed), or blood clots, and if you have had recent abdominal surgery.
- tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or can possibly become pregnant. You should not start taking nintedanib until a pregnancy test has shown that you are not pregnant. You should not become pregnant while you are taking nintedanib; the medication may harm your unborn baby. Nintedanib may decrease the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives (birth control pills, patches, rings, implants, or injections), so you should not use these as your only method of birth control. You must also use a barrier method of birth control (device that blocks sperm from entering the uterus such as a condom or a diaphragm). Talk to your doctor about birth control methods that you can use during your treatment and for at least 3 months after your last dose of nintedanib. If you become pregnant while taking nintedanib, call your doctor immediately.
- tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding.
- tell your doctor if you use tobacco products. Cigarette smoking may decrease the effectiveness of this medication. You should stop smoking before you start taking nintedanib and avoid smoking during your treatment.
