Special instructions
Treatment with Faslodex should only be carried out under the supervision of a physician with experience in the use of antitumor drugs.
Caution is advised when using Faslodex in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment. Caution is advised when using Faslodex in patients with severe impaired renal function (creatinine clearance <30 ml / min). Given the use of the drug, caution is advised when using Faslodex in patients with a tendency to bleed, thrombocytopenia, or in patients taking anticoagulants. Thromboembolism in women with advanced breast cancer is common. This should be taken into account when prescribing Faslodex to patients at risk of thromboembolism. The effects of prolonged use of fulvestrant on bone tissue have not been established. Given the mechanism of action of fulvestrant, the potential risk of osteoporosis cannot be ruled out. Faslodex should not be mixed with other drugs. The influence of Faslodeks on the ability to drive a car and other mechanisms is negligible. Patients with symptoms of asthenia should be careful when driving or using other mechanisms.

Drug Interactions According to the results of a study of the clinical interaction with midazolam, fulvestrant does not inhibit the activity of CYP 3A4. In vitro data indicate that fulvestrant does not affect the activity of CYP 1A2, 2C9, 2C19 and 2D6. Possible inhibition of CYP 2A6, 2C8, and 2E1 activity has not been evaluated. In a study of clinical interaction with rifampicin (an inducer of CYP 3A4) and ketoconazole (an inhibitor of CYP 3A4), no clinically significant changes in fulvestrant clearance were detected. Therefore, when prescribing a fulvestrant in combination with inducers or CYP 3A4 inhibitors, dose adjustment is not required. Overdose There are no known cases of overdose in humans. In animal studies, only effects directly or indirectly associated with anti-estrogenic activity were observed at high doses of fulvestrant. Treatment: symptomatic therapy. Storage conditions At 2-8 ° C, in a dark place out of the reach of children. Shelf life 4 years.
