This medicine contains the active substance bosutinib. It is used to treat adult patients who have a type of leukemia called chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with positive Philadelphia chromosome (Ph-positive) newly diagnosed or for whom previous medications for CML have not been effective or are not suitable. Ph-positive CML is a blood cancer that causes the body to produce too many of a specific type of white blood cell called granulocytes.

If you have any questions about how bosutinib works or why you have been prescribed this medicine, ask your doctor.

2. What you need to know before you take Bosutinib Stada

Do not take Bosutinib Stada

• if you are allergic to bosutinib or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
• if your doctor has told you that you have liver problems and that your liver is not working normally.

Warnings and precautions

Tell your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before you start taking bosutinib:

• if you have, or have had in the past, liver problems.Tell your doctor if you have a history of liver problems, including any type of hepatitis (infection or inflammation of the liver) or a history of any of the following signs and symptoms of liver problems: itching, yellowing of the eyes or skin, dark urine, and pain or discomfort in the upper right side of the stomach. Your doctor should perform blood tests to check your liver function before starting treatment with bosutinib and during the first 3 months of treatment with bosutinib, or as clinically indicated.

• if you have diarrhea and vomiting.Tell your doctor if you experience any of the following signs and symptoms: increased number of bowel movements per day, increased number of episodes of vomiting, blood in the vomit, in the stool, or in the urine, or black, tarry stools. Tell your doctor if treatment for vomiting may lead to a higher risk of cardiac arrhythmias. In particular, tell your doctor if you want to use any medication that contains domperidone for the treatment of nausea and/or vomiting. Treatment of nausea or vomiting with medications of this type, if used with bosutinib, may increase the risk of dangerous cardiac arrhythmias.

• if you have bleeding problems.Tell your doctor if you experience any of the following signs and symptoms, such as abnormal bleeding or bruising without having had any injury.

• if you have an infection.Tell your doctor if you experience any of the following signs and symptoms, such as fever, problems with urination such as a burning sensation while urinating, new onset cough, or new onset sore throat.
• if you have fluid retention.Tell your doctor if you experience any of the following signs and symptoms of fluid retention during treatment with bosutinib, such as swelling of the ankles, feet, or legs; difficulty breathing, chest pain, or cough (all of which may be signs of fluid retention in the lungs or chest).

• if you have heart problems.Tell your doctor if you have any heart problems, such as arrhythmias or an abnormal electrical signal called "prolonged QT interval". These problems are always important, but even more so if you have frequent or prolonged diarrhea as indicated above. If you faint (lose consciousness) or experience irregular heartbeats during treatment with bosutinib, tell your doctor immediately, as they may be signs of a serious heart condition.

• if you have been told that you have kidney problems.Tell your doctor if you urinate more frequently and produce larger amounts of pale-colored urine, or if you urinate less frequently and produce smaller amounts of dark-colored urine. Also, tell your doctor if you lose weight or experience swelling of the feet, ankles, legs, hands, or face.

• if you have ever had or may currently have a hepatitis B virus infection.This is because bosutinib could cause hepatitis B to become active again, which can be fatal in some cases. Your doctor should carefully check for signs of this infection before starting treatment.
• if you have or have had pancreas problems in the past.Tell your doctor if you experience abdominal pain or discomfort.

• if you experience any of the following symptoms: severe skin rash.Tell your doctor if you experience any of the following signs and symptoms of a painful red or purple rash that spreads and if blisters and/or other lesions appear on the mucous membranes (e.g., the mouth and lips).

• if you notice any of the following symptoms: side pain, blood in the urine, or decreased urine output.If your disease is very severe, your body may not be able to eliminate all the waste products from the dying cancer cells. This is known as tumor lysis syndrome and can cause kidney failure and heart problems within 48 hours of the first dose of bosutinib. Your doctor will make sure you are properly hydrated and will give you other medications to help prevent it.
