Necitumumab (Intravenous Route)

1. Portrazza

Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of necitumumab injection in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have blood clots (eg, pulmonary embolism), which may require caution in patients receiving necitumumab injection.

Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.

The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:

• Blood clots (eg, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism) or
• Hypomagnesemia (low magnesium in the blood)—Use with caution. May make these conditions worse.
