Pazinib Tablet should be taken on an empty stomach — try to take it at the same time every day so your body gets the most benefit. Your doctor will decide the right dose for you and how long you’ll need to take it, based on your specific condition. This might change over time, so always follow your doctor’s instructions exactly. Taking too much or not as directed can lead to serious side effects. It may also take several weeks or even months before you start to feel the full benefits, so don’t stop taking it unless your doctor tells you to.

The most common side effects of Pazinib are diarrhea and high blood pressure. Your doctor will likely check your blood pressure regularly while you’re on this medicine. If diarrhea becomes troublesome, drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated, and let your doctor know. Pazinib can also lower your blood cell counts, which can increase your risk of infections. Tell your doctor right away if you develop a fever, flu-like symptoms, or have trouble breathing.

Before you start taking this medicine, be sure to tell your doctor if you have any heart, liver, or kidney problems, or if you’re taking any other medicines, especially for infections. Pazinib can interact with many other drugs, so it’s important your healthcare team knows everything you’re using.

This medicine isn’t recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Both men and women should use effective birth control while taking it to avoid pregnancy.

If you have any concerns or side effects, or just need reassurance, don’t hesitate to reach out to your doctor — they’re there to support you throughout your treatment.
