Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction to Idhifa: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Idhifa can cause a condition called differentiation syndrome, which affects blood cells and can be fatal if not treated. This condition may occur within 10 days to 5 months after you start taking Idhifa.
Seek medical help right away if you have symptoms of differentiation syndrome:
fever, cough, trouble breathing;
bone pain;
rapid weight gain; or
swelling in your arms, legs, underarms, groin, or neck.
Call your doctor at once if you have any of these side effects:
dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes);
severe or ongoing vomiting or diarrhea; or
signs of tumor cell breakdown - tiredness, weakness, muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fast or slow heart rate, decreased urination, tingling in your hands and feet or around your mouth.
Common Idhifa side effects may include:
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea;
loss of appetite; or
jaundice.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
