1. What is Nilotinib Teva and what is it used for

What is Nilotinib Teva

Nilotinib Teva is a medication that contains an active ingredient called nilotinib.

What is Nilotinib Teva used for

Nilotinib is used to treat a type of leukemia called Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML Ph-positive). CML is a blood cancer that causes the body to produce an excess of abnormal white blood cells.

Nilotinib is used in adult and pediatric patients with newly diagnosed CML or in patients with CML who no longer benefit from previous treatment, including imatinib. It is also used in adult and pediatric patients who have experienced severe adverse effects with previous treatment and cannot continue using it.

How Nilotinib Teva works

In patients with CML, a change in DNA (genetic material) generates a signal that causes the body to produce abnormal white blood cells. Nilotinib blocks this signal and therefore interrupts the production of these cells.

Monitoring during Nilotinib Teva treatment

Regular monitoring will be performed during treatment, including blood tests. These tests will control:

  • the amount of blood cells in the body (white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets) to check if nilotinib is well tolerated.
  • the function of the pancreas and liver of the body to check if nilotinib is well tolerated.
  • the body's electrolytes (potassium, magnesium). These are important for heart function.
  • the level of sugar and fats in the blood.

Heart rate will also be monitored using a machine that measures the heart's electrical activity (an electrocardiogram, or ECG).

Your doctor will regularly evaluate your treatment and decide if you should continue taking nilotinib. If they instruct you to stop taking this medication, they will continue to monitor your CML and, if necessary, may instruct you to restart treatment with nilotinib.

If you have any questions about how nilotinib works or the reason why you or your child has been prescribed this medication, consult with your doctor.

2. What you need to know before starting Nilotinib Teva

Follow carefully all the instructions given by your doctor, even if they differ from the general information contained in this leaflet.

Do not take Nilotinib Teva.

  • if you are allergic to nilotinib or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

If you think you may be allergic, inform your doctor before taking Nilotinib Teva.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Nilotinib Teva:

  • if you have previously experienced cardiovascular events such as a heart attack, chest pain (angina), problems with blood supply to your brain (stroke) or problems with blood flow to your leg (claudication) or if you have risk factors for cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure (hypertension), diabetes or problems with the level of fats in your blood (lipid abnormalities).
  • if you have a heart condition, such as an abnormal electrical signal called "prolongation of the QT interval".
  • if you are receiving treatment with medicines that lower cholesterol in the blood (statins) or that affect heart rhythm (antiarrhythmics) or the liver (see Use of Nilotinib Teva with other medicines).
  • if you have a lack of potassium or magnesium.
  • if you have a liver or pancreas disorder.
  • if you have symptoms such as easy bruising, feeling tired or difficulty breathing or have had repeated infections.
  • if you have had a surgical procedure that involved the complete removal of your stomach (total gastrectomy).
  • if you have ever had or may have hepatitis B virus infection at present. This is because Nilotinib Teva could make hepatitis B become active again, which can be fatal in some cases. Your doctor should carefully check for signs of this infection before starting treatment.

If any of these cases apply to you or your child, inform your doctor.

During treatment with Nilotinib Teva

  • if you experience a fainting spell (loss of consciousness) or have an irregular heart rhythm while taking this medicine, inform your doctor immediately as this may be a sign of a serious heart problem. Prolongation of the QT interval or irregular heart rhythm can cause sudden death. There have been reports of rare cases of sudden death in patients taking nilotinib.
  • if you experience sudden palpitations, severe muscle weakness or paralysis, convulsions or sudden changes in behaviour or level of alertness, inform your doctor immediately as this may be a sign of a rapid breakdown of cancer cells called tumour lysis syndrome. There have been reports of rare cases of tumour lysis syndrome in patients treated with nilotinib.
  • if you develop chest pain or discomfort, numbness or weakness, walking or speech problems, pain, discoloration or coldness in a limb, inform your doctor immediately as this may be a sign of a cardiovascular event. There have been reports of serious cardiovascular events including peripheral arterial occlusive disease, coronary heart disease and cerebral ischaemia in patients taking nilotinib. Your doctor should evaluate your lipid and blood sugar levels before starting treatment with Nilotinib Teva and during treatment.
  • if you develop swelling of the feet or hands, generalised swelling or rapid weight gain, inform your doctor as these may be signs of severe fluid retention. There have been reports of rare cases of severe fluid retention in patients treated with nilotinib.

If you are the parents of a child being treated with Nilotinib Teva, inform your doctor if any of the conditions described above apply to your child.

Children and adolescents

Nilotinib Teva is used to treat children and adolescents with CML. There is no experience of the use of this medicine in children under 2 years of age. There is limited experience in children under 10 years of age with new diagnosis and limited experience in children under 6 years of age with patients who did not benefit from previous treatment for CML.

Some children and adolescents being treated with Nilotinib Teva may experience slower than normal growth. Your doctor will monitor growth at regular visits.

Other medicines and Nilotinib Teva

Nilotinib Teva may interact with other medicines.

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently or may need to take any other medicine. These include, in particular:

  • antiarrhythmics – used to treat irregular heart rhythm;
  • chloroquine, halofantrine, clarithromycin, haloperidol, methadone, moxifloxacina – medicines that may have an undesirable effect on the heart's electrical activity;
  • ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, clarithromycin, telithromycin – used to treat infections;
  • ritonavir – a medicine in the group of "protease inhibitors" used to treat HIV;
  • carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin – used to treat epilepsy;
  • rifampicin – used to treat tuberculosis;
  • St. John's Wort – a product derived from plants used to treat depression and other conditions (also known as Hypericum perforatum);
  • midazolam – used to alleviate anxiety before surgery;
  • alfentanil and fentanyl – used to treat pain and as sedatives before or during surgery or medical procedures;
  • ciclosporin, sirolimus and tacrolimus – medicines that suppress the body's "defence" ability and fight infections and are often used to prevent organ transplant rejection such as the liver, heart or kidney;
  • dihydroergotamine and ergotamine – used to treat dementia;
  • lovastatin, simvastatin – used to treat high levels of fats in the blood;
  • warfarin – used to treat blood clotting disorders (such as blood clots or thrombosis);
  • astemizol, terfenadine, cisapride, pimozide, quinidine, bepridil or ergot alkaloids (ergotamine, dihydroergotamine).

You should avoid using these medicines during treatment with Nilotinib Teva. If you are taking any of these medicines, your doctor may prescribe alternative medicines.

If you are taking statins (a type of medicine that lowers cholesterol in the blood), speak with your doctor or pharmacist. If you use Nilotinib Teva with certain statins, it may increase the risk of statin-related muscle problems, which in rare cases can cause severe muscle degeneration (rhabdomyolysis) that can lead to kidney damage.

Also, inform your doctor or pharmacist before taking Nilotinib Teva if you are taking any antacids, which are medicines against stomach acid. These medicines should be taken separately from Nilotinib Teva:

  • blockers of H2, which reduce stomach acid production. H2 blockers should be taken approximately 10 hours before and approximately 2 hours after taking Nilotinib Teva;
  • antacids such as those containing aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide and simethicone, which neutralise high stomach acidity. These antacids should be taken approximately 2 hours before or approximately 2 hours after taking Nilotinib Teva.

You should also inform your doctor if you are already taking Nilotinib Teva and are prescribed a new medicine that you have not taken before during treatment with Nilotinib Teva.

Taking Nilotinib Teva with food and drinks

Do not take Nilotinib Teva with meals. Food may increase the absorption of Nilotinib Teva and therefore increase the amount of Nilotinib Teva in the blood, possibly to a dangerous level. Do not drink grapefruit juice or eat grapefruit. It may increase the amount of Nilotinib Teva in the blood, possibly to a dangerous level.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

  • Nilotinib Teva is not recommended during pregnancy unless clearly necessary. If you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, inform your doctor, who will discuss with you whether you can take this medicine during pregnancy.
  • Women who may become pregnant should use very effective contraception during treatment and for two weeks after stopping treatment.
  • Nilotinib Teva is not recommended during breastfeeding and for two weeks after the last dose. Inform your doctor if you are breastfeeding.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant or intend to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.
