INDICATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: DO NOT INTERCHANGE WITH OTHER DAUNORUBICIN
AND/OR CYTARABINE-CONTAINING PRODUCTS

VYXEOS has different dosage recommendations than daunorubicin hydrochloride injection, cytarabine injection, daunorubicin citrate liposome injection, and cytarabine liposome injection. Verify drug name and dose prior to preparation and administration to avoid dosing errors.

  • VYXEOS is contraindicated in patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity reactions to cytarabine, daunorubicin, or any component of the formulation.
  • Serious or fatal hemorrhage events, including fatal CNS hemorrhages, associated with prolonged severe thrombocytopenia, have occurred in patients treated with VYXEOS. Monitor blood counts regularly and administer platelet transfusion support as required.
  • VYXEOS contains daunorubicin, which has a known risk of cardiotoxicity. Assess cardiac function before, during, and after treatment as clinically indicated. Discontinue in patients with impaired cardiac function unless the benefit of treatment outweighs the risk. VYXEOS treatment is not recommended in patients with cardiac function that is less than normal. Calculate the lifetime cumulative anthracycline exposure prior to each cycle of VYXEOS. VYXEOS is not recommended in patients who have reached the maximum lifetime anthracycline dose limit.
  • If a severe or life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue VYXEOS permanently, treat according to the standard of care, and monitor until signs and symptoms resolve.
  • VYXEOS contains copper and has the potential to cause copper overload in patients with Wilson's disease or other copper-related metabolic disorders. Monitor patients and use only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Discontinue in patients with signs or symptoms of acute copper toxicity.
  • Daunorubicin has been associated with severe local tissue necrosis at the site of drug extravasation. Administer VYXEOS by the intravenous route only. Confirm patency of intravenous access before administration.
  • VYXEOS can cause fetal harm. Advise females and males of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception.
