ne system. You may need different amounts of your medicine or you may need to use different medicines. Your doctor will advise you.
How to take TEMODAL
Follow all directions given to you by your doctor carefully.
They may differ from the information contained in this leaflet.
How much to take
Your doctor has worked out the exact dose of TEMODAL for you according to your individual needs.
You may be given other medication to take before or after TEMODAL to help stop nausea.
If you are taking TEMODAL in combination treatment with radiation (newly diagnosed patients):
If you are a patient with a newly diagnosed brain tumour, your doctor will start you on a dose of TEMODAL every day for 42 days (up to 49 days) in combination with radiation therapy. This is the first part of the treatment ("concomitant phase") in which you complete the radiation therapy. Your treatment will be interrupted for 4 weeks to give your body a chance to recover.
Then, you will start the next phase of treatment ("adjuvant phase") and your TEMODAL dose will change. In this phase, there are up to 6 treatment cycles. Each treatment cycle lasts 28 days. You will take your new dose of TEMODAL capsules once daily for the first five days ("dosing days") of each cycle, followed by 23 days without TEMODAL; this adds up to a 28 day treatment cycle. After day 28, the next cycle will begin, in which you will again take this medicine once daily for five days followed by 23 days without TEMODAL. Before each new treatment cycle begins, your blood will be tested to determine if the TEMODAL dose needs to be adjusted.
If you are taking only TEMODAL (patients treated for recurrent brain tumour):
Take the dose the doctor has prescribed once a day for five days.
Depending on your response to TEMODAL, a new treatment cycle will begin each 28 days. You will then take this medicine again once daily for five days.
Before each new treatment cycle, your blood will be tested to see if the dose needs to be changed.
How to take it
Each time you start a new treatment cycle, be sure you understand exactly how many capsules of each strength you need to take on each day of dosing.
All patients
TEMODAL comes in different strength capsules (shown on the outer label in mg). Each strength is a different colour. Depending on the dose of TEMODAL that your doctor prescribes, you may have to take several capsules on each dosing day of the treatment cycle
Be sure you understand exactly how many capsules you need to take of each strength. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to write down the number of each strength (include colour) that you need to take on each dosing day.
Be sure you know exactly which days are your dosing days.
Be sure you review the dose with your health care provider each time you start a new cycle. Sometimes the dose or the mix of capsules you need to take will be different from the last cycle.
Once you take the medicine home, if you are confused or unsure about how to take your dose, call for re-instruction before beginning the treatment cycle. Errors in how you take this medicine may have serious health consequences
Swallow the capsules whole with a glass of water. Do not open or chew the capsules.
When to take it
Take TEMODAL without food at least one hour before a meal.
It is good practice to take TEMODAL at about the same time each day.
If vomiting occurs after you take your capsules, do not take another dose that day.
How long to take it
Your doctor will tell you when your treatment should be stopped.
