Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Most common adverse reactions (>20%) were increased lactate dehydrogenase, increased aspartate aminotransferase, hair color changes, fatigue, increased alanine aminotransferase, decreased neutrophils, increased cholesterol, increased alkaline phosphatase, decreased lymphocytes, eye edema, decreased hemoglobin, rash, dysgeusia, and decreased phosphate.

Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Use with Hepatotoxic Products : Avoid coadministration of TURALIO with other products known to cause hepatotoxicity. ( 7.1 ) Moderate or Strong CYP3A Inhibitors : Reduce the dose of TURALIO if concomitant use of moderate or strong CYP3A inhibitors cannot be avoided. ( 2.3 , 7.2 ) Strong CYP3A Inducers : Avoid concomitant use of strong CYP3A inducers. ( 7.2 ) UGT Inhibitors : Reduce the dose of TURALIO if concomitant use of UGT inhibitors cannot be avoided. ( 2.3 , 7.2 ) Acid-Reducing Agents : Avoid concomitant use of proton pump inhibitors. Use histamine-2 receptor antagonists or antacids if needed. ( 2.4 , 7.2 ) High-Fat Meal : Avoid taking TURALIO with a high-fat meal. ( 2.1 , 5.4 , 7.2 ).
Warnings
WARNING: HEPATOTOXICITY TURALIO can cause serious and potentially fatal liver injury, including vanishing bile duct syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Monitor liver tests prior to initiation of TURALIO and at specified intervals during treatment. Withhold and dose reduce or permanently discontinue TURALIO based on severity of hepatotoxicity. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : May cause fetal harm. Advise patients of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use an effective non-hormonal method of contraception. ( 5.3 , 7.3 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) Potential Risks Associated with a High-Fat Meal : May increase incidence and severity of adverse reactions, including hepatotoxicity. Avoid taking TURALIO with a high-fat meal (approximately 55 to 65 grams of total fat). ( 2.1 , 5.4 ) 5.1 Hepatotoxicity TURALIO can cause serious and potentially fatal liver injury and is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. None. ( 4 )
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] , TURALIO may cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.
