Used For:

Venclexta is an oral anticancer medication that works by inhibiting the protein BCL-2, which helps cancer cells survive. It is used to treat certain types of blood cancers, including:

• Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL): Used in adult patients with or without the deletion of chromosome 17p.
• Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL): A type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
• Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML): Often in combination with other therapies for patients who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of Venclexta include:

• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Fatigue
• Constipation
• Upper respiratory tract infection
• Fever
• Decreased appetite

Serious side effects may include:

• Tumor Lysis Syndrome (TLS): A potentially life-threatening condition caused by the rapid breakdown of cancer cells. Signs include kidney problems, low blood calcium, or elevated potassium and uric acid levels.
• Neutropenia: A significant decrease in white blood cells, increasing infection risk.
• Infections: Serious bacterial, fungal, or viral infections can occur.
• Anemia or thrombocytopenia: Low red blood cell or platelet levels may lead to fatigue, bruising, or bleeding.

Precautions:

• Tumor Lysis Syndrome (TLS): Patients with a high tumor burden are at increased risk. Preventive measures, such as hydration and medications like allopurinol, may be prescribed.
• Blood Counts: Regular blood tests are essential to monitor white blood cells, platelets, and hemoglobin levels.
• Infection Risk: Venclexta weakens the immune system, increasing susceptibility to infections. Promptly report symptoms such as fever, chills, or unusual fatigue.
• Drug Interactions: Avoid medications or substances that inhibit or induce CYP3A enzymes (e.g., certain antifungals, antibiotics, or grapefruit), as they can alter Venclexta levels.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Venclexta can harm an unborn baby and should not be used during pregnancy. Effective contraception is recommended during treatment and for a period after discontinuation. Breastfeeding is not advised during treatment.
• Renal or Hepatic Impairment: Use with caution in patients with kidney or liver conditions, as these may affect drug metabolism and clearance.
