coating is damaged, removed, melted, or if the pill is broken into pieces, the chemical inside the pill can cause damage to your skin if you touch it. Therefore, it is important to take appropriate precautions for receiving, handling, storing, administering, and disposing of this medication. It is highly recommended to wear gloves if touching this medication or to avoid touching it entirely by using the cap of the bottle to scoop up the tablet and put it directly into the mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Is_Erleada_Used\"><\/span>How Is Erleada Used?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Erleada has been approved by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/\">Food and Drug Administration (FDA)<\/a> for males to treat certain types of prostate cancer.

The dose should not be more or less than what is prescribed. Administer at the same time each day. Erleada may be taken with or without food. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swallow tablets whole with water; do not break, crush, chew, or allow the tablets to be dissolved in your mouth. If tablets are accidentally broken or damaged, avoid inhalation or contact with skin or mucous membranes.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If unable to swallow tablets whole, mix tablets in 120 ml of applesauce without crushing them. Allow mixture to sit for 15 minutes, stir the mixture, let the mixture sit another 15 minutes, and then stir the mixture again until tablets are dispersed without any chunks remaining. Once dispersed, swallow the applesauce mixture immediately using a spoon. Rinse the container with 60 ml of water and immediately drink the contents. Repeat with a second 60 ml of water to ensure the entire dose is administered. Consume mixture within 1 hour of preparation; do not store for later use.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  id=\"call-to-action-6fa54d2ef7488ebc5a318d4f1509dde8\" style=\"\" class=\"ct_call_to_action\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"block-wrap cta\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"block-column\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta_headings\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cta__heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSpeak to a Specialist About Copay Assistance\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cta_btn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#form\">Consult a Chemo Specialist<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Missed_Dose\"><\/span>Missed Dose<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This medicine needs to be given on a fixed schedule.

Many people may experience little to no side effects.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The severity of side effects may vary from person to person, so don&#8217;t compare your side effects with other people\u2019s experiences.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the side effects will improve when therapy is discontinued.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These side effects are easily manageable most of the time either by readjusting the dose of Erleada or using additional medications to treat the symptoms. Consult with your physician or pharmacist to explore available options.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not hide any symptoms; if you feel any discomfort, do not hesitate to tell your physician or pharmacist about it.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Note<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This is not a comprehensive list of all side effects. Talk to your doctor if you have questions.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the more serious side effects of Erleada are listed below:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cardiac_Complications\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cardiac Complications<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although uncommon, there is a risk for Erleada to cause an increase in the interval between when the heart contracts and relaxes (QT interval prolongation), potentially increasing the risk for additional cardiac complications.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Skin_Rash\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skin Rash<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On rare occasions, Erleada may cause a serious skin rash<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These rashes may appear as red, swollen hives; itching, blistered, or peeling skin (with or without fever); red or irritated eyes; or sores in the mouth, throat, nose, or eyes. Notify your physician or pharmacist immediately of any signs of a rash or allergic reaction, including wheezing; tightness in the chest or throat; trouble breathing, swallowing, or talking; unusual hoarseness; or swelling of the mouth, face, lips, tongue, or throat. A rash can most typically appear within 3 months of Erleada use. Discontinuation of Erleada may be warranted if a rash is suspected.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fall_or_Fracture_Risk\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fall or Fracture Risk<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients who have a high fracture or fall risk may need to consider taking additional therapy that can help increase bone density to prevent any falls or bone fractures. This risk may be related to side effects such as fatigue, weakness, or dizziness, particularly early in therapy or in older adults. Monitoring of bone density may be warranted throughout therapy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seizures\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seizures<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although rare, it is possible that Erleada therapy may increase the risk for seizures.
