It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits. This will allow your doctor to see if the medicine is working properly and to decide if you should continue to take it. Blood tests may be needed before each of your first 5 doses of this medicine to check for unwanted effects.

Using this medicine could harm your unborn baby. If you are a woman who can get pregnant, your doctor may do tests to make sure you are not pregnant before starting this treatment. Use an effective form of birth control during treatment with this medicine and for 4 months after the last dose to keep from getting pregnant. Tell your doctor right away if you think you have become pregnant.

This medicine may cause erythrocytosis (high amount of red blood cells). Check with your doctor right away if you have dizziness, fainting, flushing or redness of the skin, headache, irregular heartbeat, loss of appetite, nosebleeds, trouble breathing, unusual bleeding, or unusual tiredness.

This medicine lowers the number of some types of blood cells in your body. Because of this, you may bleed more easily. Stay away from rough sports or other situations where you could be bruised, cut, or injured. Brush and floss your teeth gently. Be careful when using sharp objects, including razors and fingernail clippers.

Check with your doctor right away if you have bloody, black, or tarry stools, confusion, headache, nausea, vomiting of blood or material that looks like coffee grounds, or weakness. These may be symptoms of serious bleeding problems (eg, stomach or bowel bleeding, intracranial hemorrhage).

Some men and women who use this medicine have become infertile (unable to have children). Talk with your doctor before using this medicine if you plan to have children.
