Oral: Capsule or Suspension

Capsule

Swallow LENVIMA capsules whole at the same time each day with or without food
[see Clinical Pharmacology (
12.3
)]
. Do not crush or chew the LENVIMA capsules.

Suspension

Prepare
[see Preparation below]
oral suspension with water or apple juice and administer at the same time each day with or without food

.

Feeding Tube Administration

Suspension

Prepare
[see Preparation below]
suspension for feeding tube administration with water and administer at the same time each day with or without food
[see Clinical Pharmacology (
12.3
)]
.

Preparation of Suspension

Place the required number of capsules, up to a maximum of 5, in a small container (approximately 20 mL capacity) or syringe (20 mL). Do not break or crush capsules.
Add 3 mL of liquid to the container or syringe. Wait 10 minutes for the capsule shell (outer surface) to disintegrate, then stir or shake the mixture for 3 minutes until capsules are fully disintegrated and administer the entire contents.
Next, add an additional 2 mL of liquid to the container or syringe using a second syringe or dropper, swirl or shake and administer. Repeat this step at least once and until there is no visible residue to ensure all of the medication is taken.
If 6 capsules are required for a dose, follow these instructions using 3 capsules at a time.

If LENVIMA suspension is not used at the time of preparation, LENVIMA suspension may be stored in a refrigerator at 36ºF to 46ºF (2ºC to 8ºC) for a maximum of 24 hours in a covered container. If not administered within 24 hours, the suspension should be discarded.

Note: Compatibility has been confirmed for polypropylene syringes and for feeding tubes of at least 5 French diameter (polyvinyl chloride or polyurethane tube) and at least 6 French diameter (silicone tube).
