Vanflyta Frequently Asked Questions

Quizartinib may cause a condition that affects the heart rhythm (QT prolongation). QT prolongation can rarely cause serious (rarely fatal) fast/irregular heartbeat and other symptoms (such as severe dizziness, fainting) that need medical attention right away.

The risk of QT prolongation may be increased if you have certain medical conditions or are taking other drugs that may cause QT prolongation. Do not use quizartinib if you have certain heart problems (long QT syndrome, fast/irregular heartbeat). Before using quizartinib, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the drugs you take and if you have certain heart problems (heart failure, slow heartbeat, QT prolongation in the EKG), or family history of certain heart problems (QT prolongation in the EKG, sudden cardiac death).

Low levels of potassium or magnesium in the blood may also increase your risk of QT prolongation. This risk may increase if you use certain drugs (such as diuretics/"water pills") or if you have conditions such as severe sweating, diarrhea, or vomiting. Do not use quizartinib if you have low levels of potassium or magnesium in the blood.

To lower your risk, your doctor will order certain blood tests (potassium/magnesium levels) and a heart test (EKG) before and during treatment with quizartinib. Get medical help right away if you have fast/irregular heartbeat, severe dizziness, or fainting.

To receive quizartinib in the United States, you must understand, agree to, and carefully follow the requirements of the REMS Program for this medication. If you live in Canada or any other country, consult your doctor and pharmacist for your country's regulations.
