What are the possible side effects of LAZCLUZE?
LAZCLUZE may cause serious side effects, including:
- blood clot problems. Blood clots in the veins of your legs (deep vein thrombosis) or lungs (pulmonary embolism) are serious, but common, and may lead to death. Your healthcare provider will start you on medicine to prevent blood clots for the first four months of treatment. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have any signs and symptoms of blood clots, including swelling, pain or tenderness in the leg, sudden unexplained chest pain, or shortness of breath.1
- lung problems. LAZCLUZE may cause lung problems that may lead to death. Symptoms may be similar to those symptoms from lung cancer. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get any new or worsening lung symptoms, including shortness of breath, cough, or fever.1

You may use alcohol-free (such as isopropanol-free, ethanol-free) moisturizing cream to reduce the risk of skin problems. Limit sun exposure during and for 2 months after treatment with LAZCLUZE. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get any skin reactions.
