OXBRYTA Warnings and Precautions (voxelotor)

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions

Serious hypersensitivity reactions after administration of OXBRYTA have occurred in <1% of patients treated. Clinical manifestations may include generalized rash, urticaria, mild shortness of breath, mild facial swelling, and eosinophilia [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

If hypersensitivity reactions occur, discontinue OXBRYTA and administer appropriate medical therapy. Do not reinitiate OXBRYTA in patients who experience these symptoms with previous use.

5.2 Laboratory Test Interference

OXBRYTA administration may interfere with measurement of Hb subtypes (HbA, HbS, and HbF) by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) [see Drug Interactions (7.3)]. If precise quantitation of Hb species is required, chromatography should be performed when the patient has not received OXBRYTA therapy in the immediately preceding 10 days.
