Page 1 LORLATINIB ORAL CHEMOTHERAPY EDUCATION Name of your medication Generic name lorlatinib (lor LA tih nib) Brand name Lorbrena® (lor BREH nuh) Approved uses Lorlatinib is used to treat metastatic non small cell lung cancer that has a genetic mutation called anaplastic lymphoma kinase. Dose and schedule Taking lorlatinib as instructed is important to allow your treatment to be as effective as possible, so here are some key points to remember. Your dose may vary, but the usual dose of lorlatinib is 100 milligrams (100 mg) to be taken by mouth at a scheduled time, once daily. Lorlatinib can be taken with or without food, but at the same time each day. Lorlatinib should be taken whole and not crushed, cut, or dissolved. If you are unable to swallow lorlatinib, talk to your care provider or pharmacist for possible options. If you miss a dose of lorlatinib, follow these guidelines: Take the missed dose unless the next dose is due within four hours. Do not take two doses at one time. Be sure to write down if you miss a dose, and let your care provider know about any missed doses. Storage and handling Handle lorlatinib with care. Just like when chemotherapy is given into the vein, this drug can be toxic, and exposure of the drug to others should be limited. Store lorlatinib at room temperature (68°F–77°F) in a dry location away from light. Keep lorlatinib out of reach of children and pets. Leave lorlatinib in the provided packaging until it is ready to be taken. Whenever possible, you should give lorlatinib to yourself and follow the steps below. If a family member, friend, or caregiver needs to give the lorlatinib to you, they also need to follow these steps. 1. Wash hands with soap and water. 2. Put on gloves to avoid touching the medication. (Gloves are not necessary if you give the drug to yourself.) 3. Gently transfer the lorlatinib from its package to a small medicine or other disposable cup. 4. Administer the medicine immediately by mouth with water. 5. Remove gloves and do not use them for anything else. 6. Throw gloves and medicine cup in household trash. 7. Wash hands with soap and water. LORLATINIB ORAL CHEMOTHERAPY EDUCATION Page 2 If a daily pill box or pill reminder is used, a separate one should be used for lorlatinib. Do not mix other medications into the box with lorlatinib. The person filling the box or reminder should wear gloves. (Gloves are not necessary if you are filling the box or reminder). When empty, the box or reminder should be washed with soap and water before refilling. Be sure to wash hands with soap and water after the task is complete, whether or not gloves are worn. If you have any unused lorlatinib, do not throw it in the trash and do not flush it down the sink or toilet. Talk to your care provider or pharmacist about proper disposal of lorlatinib. If you are traveling, put your lorlatinib in a sealed plastic bag. Ask your pharmacist if any additional travel precautions are needed. Handling body fluids and waste Since lorlatinib remains in your body for several days after it is taken, some of the drug may be present in urine, stool, sweat, or vomit. Once you have started to take lorlatinib, it is important to know the following instructions every day for as long as your treatment lasts. This is to keep yourself, loved ones, and the environment as safe as possible. Pregnant women should avoid touching anything that may be soiled with body fluids from the patient. Toilet and septic systems You may use the same toilet, septic tank, and/or sewer that you usually use. If you have a low flow toilet, close the lid and flush twice to ensure all waste has been discarded. If the toilet or toilet seat becomes soiled with urine, stool, or vomit, clean the surfaces before other people use the toilet. Wash hands with soap and water after using the toilet. If you need a bedpan, be sure your caregiver knows to wear gloves to assist with cleanup and to wash the bedpan with soap and water every day. If you do not have good control of bladder or bowels, use a disposable pad with a plastic back, a diaper, or a sheet to absorb body waste. Wash any skin that has been exposed to body waste or lorlatinib with soap and water. Linens or clothing that are soiled with body fluids or body waste should be washed separately from other linens and clothing. If you do not have a washer, place the soiled linens in a plastic bag until they can be washed. Wash hands with soap and water after touching linens or clothing that may be soiled with body fluids. Drug and food interactions Lorlatinib has many drug interactions. Please inform your care providers of all prescription medications, over the counter medications, vitamins, and herbal products. Grapefruit or grapefruit juice may interact with lorlatinib; avoid eating or drinking this during treatment with lorlatinib. Talk with your care provider or pharmacist before taking new medications or supplements, or receiving any vaccines.

Page 1 OLAPARIB ORAL CHEMOTHERAPY EDUCATION Name of your medication Generic name — olaparib (oh LA puh rib) Brand name — Lynparza® (lin PAR zuh) Approved uses Olaparib is used to treat ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. Dose and schedule Taking olaparib as instructed is important to allow your treatment to be as effective as possible, so here are some key points to remember. Your dose may vary, but the usual dose of olaparib is 300 milligrams (300 mg) or 400 milligrams (400 mg) to be taken by mouth at a scheduled time two times a day. Olaparib comes as capsules and tablets. Capsules and tablets are not the same. If your care provider prescribes capsules for you, do not take tablets instead. If your care provider prescribes tablets, do not take capsules instead. Olaparib can be taken with or without food, but at the same time each day. Olaparib should be taken whole and not crushed, cut, or dissolved. If you are unable to swallow olaparib, talk to your care provider or pharmacist for possible options. If you miss a dose of olaparib, do not take an extra dose or two doses at one time. Simply take your next dose at the regularly scheduled time. Be sure to write down if you miss a dose and let your care provider know about any missed doses. Storage and handling Handle olaparib with care. Just like when chemotherapy is given into the vein, this drug can be toxic, and exposure of the drug to others should be limited. Store olaparib at room temperature (68°F–77°F) in a dry location away from light. Keep olaparib out of reach of children and pets. Leave olaparib in the provided packaging until it is ready to be taken. Whenever possible, give olaparib to yourself and follow the steps below. If a family member, friend, or caregiver needs to give olaparib to you, they also need to follow these steps: 1. Wash hands with soap and water. 2. Put on gloves to avoid touching the medication. (Gloves are not necessary if you give the drug to yourself.) 3. Gently transfer the olaparib from its package to a small medicine or other disposable cup. 4. Administer the medicine immediately by mouth with water. 5. Remove gloves and do not use them for anything else. 6. Throw gloves and medicine cup in household trash. 7. Wash hands with soap and water. OLAPARIB ORAL CHEMOTHERAPY EDUCATION Page 2 If a daily pill box or pill reminder is used, a separate one should be used for olaparib. Do not mix other medications into the box with olaparib. The person filling the box or reminder should wear gloves. (Gloves are not necessary if you are filling the box or reminder.) When empty, the box or reminder should be washed with soap and water before refilling. Be sure to wash hands with soap and water after the task is complete, whether or not gloves are worn. If you have any unused olaparib, do not throw it in the trash and do not flush it down the sink or toilet. Talk to your care provider or pharmacist about proper disposal of olaparib. If you are traveling, put your olaparib in a sealed plastic bag. Ask your pharmacist if any additional travel precautions are needed. Handling body fluids and waste Olaparib remains in your body for several days after it is taken, so some of the drug may be present in urine, stool, sweat, or vomit. Once you have started to take olaparib, it is important to follow the instructions below every day for as long as your treatment lasts. This will keep yourself, loved ones, and the environment as safe as possible. Pregnant women should avoid touching anything that may be soiled with body fluids from the patient. Toilet and septic systems You may use the same toilet, septic tank, and/or sewer that you usually use.
