Dexamethasone<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Neofordex is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Neofordex is a medicine that contains the active substance dexamethasone.\u00a0Dexamethasone is a type of\u00a0hormone\u00a0called a\u00a0glucocorticoid\u00a0and is sometimes called cortisone, corticoid, or\u00a0corticosteroid.\u00a0Dexamethasone has different types of effects, including effects on\u00a0white blood cells, which are part of the immune system (the body’s natural defenses).\u00a0Dexamethasone is similar to glucocorticoids\u00a0that are produced naturally in the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neofordex is used to treat adult patients with multiple\u00a0myeloma, a type of cancer in the blood that affects the white\u00a0blood cells\u00a0that make\u00a0antibodies.\u00a0Neofordex is given in combination with other medicines for multiple\u00a0myeloma.\u00a0They work together by killing\u00a0white blood cells\u00a0with cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you need to know before using Neofordex<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do not use Neofordex<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  • if you are allergic to dexamethasone or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6),<\/li>
  • if you have a viral infection, in particular viral hepatitis , herpes , chickenpox or shingles ,<\/li>
  • if you have an untreated psychiatric illness.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Warnings and cautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Treatment with a high-dose\u00a0corticosteroid\u00a0can reduce the body’s ability to fight\u00a0infection.\u00a0This can sometimes lead to\u00a0infections\u00a0caused by\u00a0microorganisms\u00a0that rarely cause disease under normal conditions (called opportunistic\u00a0infections\u00a0).\u00a0If you get an\u00a0infection\u00a0of any kind while you are being treated with this medicine, you should contact a doctor immediately.\u00a0This is especially important if you notice signs of pneumonia: cough, fever, shortness of breath, and chest pain.\u00a0You may also feel confused, especially if you are an older person.\u00a0You should also tell your doctor if you have had\u00a0tuberculosis if you have resided in regions where round machine infections are common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Note<\/strong>: While taking Neofordex, you must avoid all contact with people who have chickenpox, measles, or\u00a0shingles.\u00a0Contact a doctor immediately if you think you have been in contact with someone who has one of these diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    High-dose\u00a0corticosteroids, including dexamethasone, can cause psychological problems that can sometimes be serious.\u00a0Talk to your doctor before taking Neofordex if you or someone in your immediate family has had, or is currently having, severe depression or manic attacks.\u00a0This is especially important if you feel depressed or may have suicidal thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tell your doctor if you have symptoms of tumor lysis syndrome such as muscle cramps, muscle weakness, confusion, vision loss or visual disturbances, and shortness of breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    During treatment with this medicine, you must maintain a balanced diet.\u00a0Your doctor will advise you on a suitable diet and may\u00a0prescribe\u00a0potassium, calcium, or\u00a0vitamin\u00a0D supplements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you have previously had blood clots, tell your doctor before taking Neofordex.\u00a0The combination of dexamethasone with thalidomide, lenalidomide, or pomalidomide (medicines used to treat multiple\u00a0myeloma\u00a0) increases the risk of blood clots in the veins and\u00a0arteries.\u00a0You must tell your doctor immediately if you experience shortness of breath, chest pain, or swelling in your arms or legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The combination of dexamethasone with lenalidomide or pomalidomide may lead to a decrease in the number of normal\u00a0white blood cells\u00a0(which help fight\u00a0infections\u00a0) and\/or\u00a0platelets\u00a0(which help prevent bleeding).\u00a0Your doctor will arrange for appropriate blood tests before and during treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Treatment with this drug can cause central serous chorioretinopathy, an eye disease that leads to blurred vision or distorted vision. This usually happens in one of the eyes. If you notice blurred vision or distorted vision that lasts for several days, consult a doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Treatment with this drug can cause tendonitis.\u00a0In extremely rare cases, a tendon may rupture.\u00a0This risk is increased by treatment with certain\u00a0antibiotics\u00a0and by kidney problems.\u00a0Contact your doctor if you feel painful, stiff, or swollen joints or tendons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You should inform any doctor, dentist, or someone who may\u00a0prescribe\u00a0a treatment for you that you are currently taking or have recently taken dexamethasone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you become ill or are involved in an accident, or if you need to have surgery (including at the dentist) or need to be vaccinated (especially “live” virus vaccine), tell your treating doctor that you are taking or have recently taken\u00a0corticosteroids.\u00a0dos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you need to take samples (especially for infections ), inform the person performing the tests as dexamethasone may interfere with the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Talk to your doctor before taking Neofordex<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • you have liver or kidney disease,<\/li>
    • you have heart disease or have recently had a heart attack,<\/li>
    • you have high blood pressure , high cholesterol or if you smoke,<\/li>
    • you have diabetes or someone has had diabetes in your family before,<\/li>
    • you have osteoporosis , especially if you are a woman who has gone through menopause,<\/li>

    • you have myasthenia gravis (a disease that affects the muscles),<\/li>
    • you have a peptic ulcer (ulcer in the stomach or duodenum ), or have previously had a peptic ulcer, stomach bleeding or perforation ,<\/li>
    • you have inflammation of the colon, diverticulitis , or have recently undergone bowel surgery,<\/li>
    • you have inflammation in a tendon.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Your doctor will monitor you more closely if you have any of these diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If you are an elderly person, some of the\u00a0side effects\u00a0of Neofordex may be more serious, especially thin bones (\u00a0osteoporosis\u00a0), high\u00a0blood pressure, low potassium levels,\u00a0diabetes, susceptibility to infections, and thin skin.\u00a0Your doctor will monitor you more closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
