Important Safety Information
This is not a complete list of all possible side effects. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any unexpected symptoms. For serious or life-threatening side effects, seek emergency medical attention immediately.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The safety of TURALIO 250 mg orally twice daily administered with a low-fat meal has been established based on adequate and well-controlled studies of TURALIO 400 mg orally twice daily administered on an empty stomach and additional pharmacokinetic data that indicate there is no clinically significant difference in the relative exposure between the two dosages [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].
The safety of TURALIO was evaluated in ENLIVEN [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] .
ENLIVEN excluded patients with ALT, AST, or total bilirubin >1.5 × ULN;
and known active or chronic infection with hepatitis B or C virus, or human immunodeficiency virus.
Patients received TURALIO without food at a dose of 400 mg in the morning and 600 mg in the evening orally for 2 weeks followed by 400 mg orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity .
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : May cause fetal harm.
Advise patients of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use an effective non-hormonal method of contraception.
( 5.3 , 7.3 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) Potential Risks Associated with a High-Fat Meal : May increase incidence and severity of adverse reactions, including hepatotoxicity.
Avoid taking TURALIO with a high-fat meal (approximately 55 to 65 grams of total fat).
( 2.1 , 5.4 ) 5.1 Hepatotoxicity TURALIO can cause serious and potentially fatal liver injury and is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ].
Like all medications, Turalio can cause side effects. However, not everyone who takes this medication will experience them. Many side effects are dose-dependent and may improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Others may require dose adjustment or medical attention.
