Using alemtuzumab together with PACLitaxel protein-bound may increase the risk of serious infections. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns.

It has been recommended that you either do not ingest or properly heat foods that may be a source of listeria like deli meat, unpasteurized milk and cheese products, soft cheeses, or undercooked meat, seafood or poultry. Contact your doctor immediately if you develop signs and symptoms of a serious side effect or infection such as fever, chills, diarrhea, sore throat, muscle aches, shortness of breath, blood in your phlegm, weight loss, red or inflamed skin, body sores, pain or burning during urination, weakness on one side of your body, and/or problems with thinking, eyesight, strength, balance, or use of your arms or legs.

Drug and food interactions

Grapefruits and grapefruit juice may increase the blood levels and effects of PACLitaxel protein-bound. This can increase the risk of side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, hair loss, muscle pain or weakness, nerve damage, and impaired bone marrow function resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells. You may also be more likely to develop anemia, bleeding problems, or infections due to low blood cell counts. Contact your doctor if you experience paleness, fatigue, dizziness, fainting, unusual bruising or bleeding, fever, chills, diarrhea, sore throat, muscle aches, shortness of breath, blood in phlegm, weight loss, red or inflamed skin, body sores, pain or burning during urination, vision problems, and/or numbness, burning or tingling in your hands and feet.
