Page 1 POMALIDOMIDE ORAL CHEMOTHERAPY EDUCATION Name of your medication Generic name — pomalidomide PAH-muh-LIH-doh-mide Brand name — Pomalyst® PAH-muh-list Approved uses Pomalidomide is used to treat patients with multiple myeloma in combination with another medication, dexamethasone. Dose and schedule Taking pomalidomide 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 pomalidomide is 4 milligrams 4 mg to be taken by mouth on days 1–21 of each 28-day treatment cycle. The dose may be adjusted by your care provider based on your individual needs. Pomalidomide can be taken with or without food, but at the same time each day. Pomalidomide should be taken whole and not crushed, cut, dissolved, or opened. If you are unable to swallow pomalidomide, talk to your care provider or pharmacist for possible options. If you miss a dose of pomalidomide: Only take the missed dose if it has been less than 12 hours since you were supposed to take it. Then, take the next dose at the regularly scheduled time. Do not take the missed dose if it has been more than 12 hours since you should have taken it. Simply take the next dose at the regularly scheduled time. 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 pomalidomide 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 pomalidomide at room temperature 68°F–77°F in a dry location away from light. Keep pomalidomide out of reach of children and pets. Leave pomalidomide in the provided packaging until it is ready to be taken. Whenever possible, you should give pomalidomide to yourself and follow the steps below. If a family member, friend, or caregiver needs to give the pomalidomide 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 pomalidomide 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. POMALIDOMIDE ORAL CHEMOTHERAPY EDUCATION Page 2 7. Wash hands with soap and water. If a daily pill box or pill reminder is used, a separate one should be used for pomalidomide. Do not mix other medications into the box with pomalidomide. 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 are traveling, put your pomalidomide in a sealed plastic bag. Ask your pharmacist if any additional travel precautions are needed.

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. 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 pomalidomide 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.

Your dose is based on many factors, including your height and weight, overall health, and diagnosis. Mercaptopurine can be taken with or without food but at the same time each day. Mercaptopurine tablets should be taken whole and not crushed, cut, or dissolved. If you are unable to swallow mercaptopurine, talk to your care provider or pharmacist for possible options. Mercaptopurine suspension should be shaken vigorously for at least 30 seconds prior to taking. If you miss a dose of mercaptopurine, 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 mercaptopurine 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 mercaptopurine at room temperature 68°F–77°F in a dry location away from light. Keep mercaptopurine out of reach of children and pets. Leave mercaptopurine in the provided packaging until it is ready to be taken. Once opened, mercaptopurine suspension should be used within 8 weeks. Whenever possible, give mercaptopurine to yourself and follow the steps below. If a family member, friend, or caregiver needs to give mercaptopurine 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.

If you are traveling, put your mercaptopurine in a sealed plastic bag. Ask your pharmacist if any additional travel precautions are needed. Handling body fluids and waste Because mercaptopurine 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 mercaptopurine, 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 mercaptopurine 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.
