    Warnings and Precautions (

    5.2 Pneumonitis

    Pneumonitis, including severe and fatal cases, has occurred in patients treated with Lynparza.

    In clinical studies, among patients who received Lynparza as a single agent or as part of a combination regimen
    [see
    Error! Hyperlink reference not valid.
    ]
    , the incidence of pneumonitis, including fatal cases, was 1.0% (29/2851).

    If patients present with new or worsening respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, cough and fever, or a radiological abnormality occurs, interrupt Lynparza treatment and promptly assess the source of the symptoms. If pneumonitis is confirmed, discontinue Lynparza treatment and treat the patient appropriately
    .

    ,
    5.4 Hepatotoxicity, Including Drug-Induced Liver Injury

    Hepatotoxicity, including severe and potentially fatal cases of drug-induced liver injury (DILI), has occurred in patients treated with Lynparza
    [see
    Adverse Reactions (6.2)
    ]
    .

    Evaluate bilirubin and transaminases at baseline and throughout treatment with Lynparza. For patients who develop abnormal liver tests after Lynparza, monitor more frequently for liver test abnormalities and clinical signs and symptoms of hepatic toxicity.

    If DILI is suspected, withhold Lynparza. Upon confirmation of DILI, discontinue Lynparza.

    Risk Summary

    No data are available regarding the presence of olaparib in human milk, or on its effects on the breastfed infant or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed infants from Lynparza, advise a lactating woman not to breastfeed during treatment with Lynparza and for one month after receiving the last dose.
