Correct hypokalemia prior to and during treatment. Perform CBCs (including WBC differential, platelets), coagulation testing, baseline ECG prior to initiation and monitor as indicated during therapy. Increased risk for MACE, thrombosis, lymphoma, and other malignancies; monitor. Consider the risks/benefits esp. in patients with known malignancy, cardiovascular risk factors, or current/past smokers.
