Side Effects
CALQUENCE may lead to severe side effects, including:
• Occurrence of severe infections, which can be fatal. If you're at a higher infection risk, your healthcare provider might prescribe specific medications. Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you display infection signs such as fever, chills, or flu-like symptoms.
• Potential for severe bleeding (hemorrhage) during CALQUENCE treatment. Taking blood thinners may raise your bleeding risk. Notify your healthcare provider if you experience signs of bleeding, like dark or tar-like stools, pink or brown urine, uncontrollable bleeding, blood in vomit or vomit resembling coffee grounds, coughing up blood or blood clots, dizziness, confusion, persistent headache, or unusual bruising or skin discoloration.
• Decreased blood cell counts, including white blood cells, platelets, and red blood cells. While these reductions are common with CALQUENCE, they can also be severe. Regular blood tests are necessary to monitor your blood counts during CALQUENCE treatment.
• Development of secondary primary cancers. Some individuals have developed new cancers like skin or organ cancers while taking CALQUENCE. Regular skin cancer assessments are recommended during treatment, and sun protection is advised when outdoors.
• Heart rhythm disturbances (atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter) have been observed in CALQUENCE-treated patients. If you experience symptoms such as rapid or irregular heartbeat, dizziness, faintness, chest discomfort, or shortness of breath, inform your healthcare provider.
The most frequent side effects of CALQUENCE encompass headache, diarrhea, muscle and joint pain, upper respiratory tract infections, and bruising.
