IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

What is the most important information I should know about MYQORZO?

MYQORZO can cause serious side effects, including:

  • Heart failure, a condition where the heart cannot pump with enough force, is a serious condition that can lead to death. You must have echocardiograms (echos) before and during treatment with MYQORZO and monitor for signs and symptoms of heart failure. People who develop a serious illness such as a serious infection or who develop a new or worsening irregular heartbeat have a greater risk of heart failure during treatment with MYQORZO

    Tell your healthcare provider or get medical help right away if you develop new or worsening shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, leg swelling, a racing sensation in your heart (palpitations), or rapid weight gain.

  • The risk of heart failure is also increased when MYQORZO is taken with certain other medicines. Tell your healthcare provider about any prescribed and over-the-counter medicines you take, before and during your treatment with MYQORZO

  • Because of the risk of heart failure, MYQORZO is only available through a restricted distribution program called the MYQORZO Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) Program

    • Your healthcare provider must be enrolled in the MYQORZO REMS Program for you to be prescribed MYQORZO
    • Before you start treatment with MYQORZO, you must enroll in the MYQORZO REMS Program. Talk to your healthcare provider about how to enroll in the program. You will be given information about the program when you enroll
    • Before you take MYQORZO, your healthcare provider and pharmacist will make sure you understand how to take MYQORZO safely, which will include returning for echos when advised by your healthcare provider. MYQORZO can only be dispensed by a certified pharmacy that participates in the MYQORZO REMS Program
    • If you have any questions about the MYQORZO REMS Program, ask your healthcare provider, go to www.MYQORZOREMS.com, or call 1-844-285-7367
