Serious adverse reactions or death in patients with complete dpd deficiency

When to call your doctor

- Seek medical attention immediately for chest pain or an irregular heartbeat. - Get urgent help for new confusion, disorientation, trouble with balance or coordination, or changes in vision. - Seek immediate medical attention for severe diarrhea. - Contact your doctor immediately for severe mouth sores or inflammation. - Contact your doctor immediately for severe redness or soreness of your hands or feet.

If symptoms are severe or getting worse quickly, seek emergency care rather than waiting.

Before taking this medicine

The supplied fluorouracil injection label lists no formal contraindications. This does not mean it is suitable for everyone. Important risks include heart problems, such as chest pain, heart attack, abnormal heart rhythm and heart failure; confusion or other brain and nervous system effects, including those linked to high blood ammonia; severe diarrhea; hand-foot syndrome; severe, potentially fatal suppression of blood cell production; and severe inflammation of the mouth or digestive tract lining. Treatment may need to be withheld or stopped if these occur. Taking warfarin at the same time can increase INR and other blood-clotting test results. Close monitoring of INR and prothrombin time is required. Fluorouracil can harm an unborn baby. Women and men who could have children should receive pregnancy planning and prevention counseling. If breastfeeding, either fluorouracil or breastfeeding must be stopped. These precautions come from the injection label; the supplied extract does not cover the tube product.
