Contre-indications
The use of DEFITELIO is contraindicated in the following conditions:
- Concomitant administration with systemic anticoagulant or fibrinolytic therapy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]
- Known hypersensitivity to DEFITELIO or to any of its excipients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]
- Concomitant administration with systemic anticoagulant or fibrinolytic therapy. ( 4 )
- Known hypersensitivity to DEFITELIO or to any of its excipients. ( 4 )
Mises en garde et précautions d’emploi
- Hemorrhage: Monitor patients for bleeding. Withhold or discontinue DEFITELIO if significant bleeding occurs. ( 2.3 , 5.1 )
- Hypersensitivity Reactions: If severe or life threatening allergic reaction occurs, discontinue DEFITELIO, treat according to standard of care, and monitor until signs and symptoms resolve. ( 2.3 , 5.2 )
5.1Hemorrhage
DEFITELIO increased the activity of fibrinolytic enzymes in vitro, and it may increase the risk of bleeding in patients with VOD after hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). Do not initiate DEFITELIO in patients with active bleeding. Monitor patients for signs of bleeding. If patients on DEFITELIO develop bleeding, discontinue DEFITELIO, treat the underlying cause, and provide supportive care until the bleeding has stopped [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] .
