Page 1 ESTRAMUSTINE ORAL CHEMOTHERAPY EDUCATION Name of your medication Generic name — estramustine ES truh MUS teen Brand name — Emcyt® Approved uses Estramustine is used to treat prostate cancer. Dose and schedule Taking estramustine as instructed is important to allow your treatment to be as effective as possible, so here are some key points to remember. Your dose is based on many factors, including your height and weight, overall health, and diagnosis. Estramustine should be taken on any empty stomach at least one hour before or two hours after meals. Your doctor may want you to take this medication multiple times throughout the day. Estramustine should be taken whole and not crushed, cut, or dissolved. If you are unable to swallow estramustine, talk to your care provider or pharmacist for possible options. If you miss a dose of estramustine, 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 estramustine 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 estramustine in the refrigerator 36°F–46°F . Do not freeze. Keep estramustine out of reach of children and pets. Leave estramustine in the provided packaging until it is ready to be taken. Whenever possible, you should give estramustine to yourself and follow the steps below. If a family member, friend, or caregiver needs to give the estramustine 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.

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. ESTRAMUSTINE ORAL CHEMOTHERAPY EDUCATION Page 2 If a daily pill box or pill reminder is used, a separate one should be used for estramustine. Do not mix other medications into the box with estramustine. 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 estramustine, 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 estramustine. If you are traveling, put your estramustine in a sealed plastic bag. Ask your pharmacist if any additional travel precautions are needed. Handling body fluids and waste Since estramustine 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 estramustine, it is important to follow the instructions below 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 estramustine 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.

Page 1 FOSTAMATINIB ORAL CHEMOTHERAPY EDUCATION Name of your medication Generic name fostamatinib (FOS tuh MA tih nib) Brand name Tavalisse® (TA vah lees) Approved uses Fostamatinib is used to treat adult patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Dose and schedule Taking fostamatinib 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 fostamatinib is 100 milligrams (100 mg) to 150 milligrams (150 mg) to be taken by mouth twice a day. Fostamatinib can be taken with or without food, but at the same time each day. Fostamatinib should be taken whole and not crushed, cut, or dissolved. If you are unable to swallow fostamatinib, talk to your care provider or pharmacist for possible options. If you miss a dose of fostamatinib, 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 fostamatinib 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 fostamatinib at room temperature (68°F–77°F) in a dry location away from light. Keep fostamatinib out of reach of children and pets. Leave fostamatinib in the provided packaging until it is ready to be taken. Whenever possible, you should give fostamatinib to yourself and follow the steps below. If a family member, friend, or caregiver needs to give the fostamatinib 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 fostamatinib 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. FOSTAMATINIB ORAL CHEMOTHERAPY EDUCATION Page 2 If a daily pill box or pill reminder is used, a separate one should be used for fostamatinib. Do not mix other medications into the box with fostamatinib. 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 fostamatinib, 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 fostamatinib. If you are traveling, put your fostamatinib in a sealed plastic bag. Ask your pharmacist if any additional travel precautions are needed. Handling body fluids and waste Since fostamatinib 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 fostamatinib, it is important to follow the instructions below every day for as long as your treatment lasts. This will keep you, your 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 fostamatinib 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 Fostamatinib has many drug interactions. Please inform your care providers of all prescription medications, over thecounter medications, vitamins, and herbal products. Grapefruit or grapefruit juice may interact with fostamatinib; avoid eating or drinking this during your treatment with fostamatinib. Talk with your care provider or pharmacist before taking new medications or supplements, or receiving any vaccines.
