Understanding Your Treatment Journey
Trained Health Care Professionals Will Guide You
Through the Process
After your doctor has prescribed LUTATHERA, you will be referred to a treatment site where trained health care professionals will guide you through the ongoing process.
Starting LUTATHERA May Be an Important Step Forward
It’s important to tell your health care professional everything about your disease and health status. Health information you may want to discuss includes:
Any medical conditions you may have
Symptoms you may have
Any changes in your daily habits
If you have trouble controlling when you urinate or have a bowel movement
All of the medicines you are taking, including over-the-counter medicines
If you are trying to get pregnant, if you are already pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding
Make sure to let your health care professional know if you are taking either a type of medicine called a somatostatin analog, also called an SSA, and/or glucocorticoids. If you are taking either, you might have to stop or change your treatment before and while receiving LUTATHERA.
If you are a female who is able to get pregnant, use effective contraception during treatment with LUTATHERA and for 7 months after the last dose
If you are a male with a female partner who is able to get pregnant, use effective contraception during treatment with LUTATHERA and for 4 months after the last dose
Women should not breastfeed during treatment with LUTATHERA and for 2.5 months after the last dose
