Do not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with PAZOPanib unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels of PAZOPanib, which may lead to an increased risk of serious side effects such as liver damage, irregular heart rhythm, bleeding, high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. Taking PAZOPanib with food can also significantly increase its absorption and levels in the blood. Therefore, you should take PAZOPanib on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after eating. Call your doctor immediately if you develop fever, chills, joint pain or swelling, unusual bleeding or bruising, skin rash, itching, loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, dark colored urine, and/or yellowing of the skin or eyes, as these may be signs and symptoms of liver damage. You should also seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs and symptoms that could indicate cardiovascular problems such as sudden dizziness; lightheadedness; fainting; fast or pounding heartbeats; chest pain or tightness; pain in your arms, back, neck, or jaw; shortness of breath; numbness or weakness on one side of your body; and slurred speech or difficulty speaking.
