What is talazoparib?
Talazoparib is used to treat HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
Talazoparib is used only if your cancer has a specific genetic marker (an abnormal “BRCA” gene). Your doctor will test you for this gene.
Talazoparib may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Important Information
Using talazoparib may increase your risk of developing bone marrow problems or leukemia.
Talazoparib can lower your blood cell counts, and you may get an infection or bleed more easily. Call your doctor if you have unusual bruising or bleeding, blood in your urine or stools, weight loss, fever, weakness, tiredness, or trouble breathing.
You will need weekly or monthly blood tests, and your cancer treatments may be delayed based on the results.
