Precautions

US BOXED WARNING(S):

• NOT FOR INTRATHECAL USE
• Inadvertent intrathecal administration may cause death, convulsions, cerebral hemorrhage, coma, paralysis, arachnoiditis, acute renal failure, cardiac arrest, seizures, rhabdomyolysis, hyperthermia, and brain edema

CONTRAINDICATIONS:

• Intrathecal use
• Preparatory dehydration (e.g. prolonged fasting and laxative use before administration) is contraindicated in pediatric patients due to the risk of renal failure.

Safety and efficacy have not been established in patients younger than 2 years.

Consult WARNINGS section for additional precautions.
