OFEV Warnings/Precautions:
Moderate or severe hepatic impairment: not recommended. Increased risk of liver enzyme elevation in low body weight (<65kg), age, Asian, or female patients. Obtain ALT, AST, bilirubin prior to initiation, regularly during the first 3 months, and periodically thereafter or as clinically indicated. Discontinue if AST/ALT >5×ULN or >3×ULN with signs of liver injury; interrupt or adjust dose based on liver enzyme elevations (see full labeling). GI disorders; discontinue if severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting persists despite symptomatic treatment. Cardiovascular risk. Known coronary artery disease. Consider treatment interruption if signs/symptoms of acute myocardial ischemia or new/worsening proteinuria develops. Increased risk of bleeding. Recent abdominal surgery. History of diverticular disease. Discontinue if GI perforation develops. Smokers. Embryo-fetal toxicity.

OFEV Interactions:
Avoid concomitant P-gp and CYP3A4 inducers (eg, rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, St. John’s wort). May be potentiated by P-gp and CYP3A4 inhibitors (eg, ketoconazole, erythromycin); monitor closely. Increased risk of bleeding with anticoagulants; monitor and adjust as necessary. Avoid smoking. Caution with concomitant corticosteroids, NSAIDs; may increase risk of GI perforation.
