Boxed warning. EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY and DIFFERENTIATION SYNDROME - Tretinoin capsules can cause embryo-fetal loss and malformations when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Females of reproductive potential must have a negative pregnancy test before initiating Tretinoin capsules. Advise females of reproductive potential to use two effective methods of contraception during treatment with Tretinoin capsules and for 1 month after the last dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with Tretinoin capsules and for 1 week after the last dose. - Differentiation Syndrome, which can be life-threatening or fatal, occurred in about 26% of patients with APL who received Tretinoin capsules. At first signs or symptoms of this syndrome, immediately initiate high-dose corticosteroid therapy and hemodynamic monitoring until resolution of signs and symptoms. Consider withholding Tretinoin capsules for moderate and severe Differentiation Syndrome until resolution. WARNING: EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY and DIFFERENTIATION SYNDROME See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning. - Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Tretinoin capsules can cause embryo-fetal loss and malformations when administered to a pregnant woman. - Patients Without t(15;17) Translocation or PML/RARα Fusion: Tretinoin capsules may be initiated based on morphological diagnosis of APL. Confirm diagnosis by detection of the t(15;17) translocation or PML/RARα fusion. - Leukocytosis: Consider administering cytoreductive chemotherapy (including an anthracycline if not contraindicated or hydroxyurea) with Tretinoin capsules in the setting of leukocytosis, as clinically indicated. - Intracranial Hypertension: Tretinoin capsules have been associated with benign intracranial hypertension, especially in pediatric patients. Consider interruption, dose reduction, or discontinuation of Tretinoin capsules as appropriate. - Lipid Abnormalities: Patients experienced hypercholesterolemia and/or hypertriglyceridemia, which may be reversible upon completion of treatment. Monitor fasting triglycerides and cholesterol at baseline and periodically during treatment. - Hepatotoxicity: Monitor liver function test results at baseline and during treatment as clinically indicated. - Thromboembolic Events: Venous and arterial events have been reported; these events may occur during the first month of treatment with Tretinoin capsules.
