What is the most important information I should know about RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ?
RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ can cause serious side effects, including:
1. Serious Infections. 
RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ is a medicine that affects your immune system. RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ can lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections. Some people have had serious infections while taking RINVOQ, including tuberculosis (TB), and infections caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses that can spread throughout the body. Some people have died from these infections.
  • Your healthcare provider should test you for TB before starting treatment with RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ.
  • Your healthcare provider should watch you closely for signs and symptoms of TB during treatment with RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ.
  • You should not start taking RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ if you have any kind of infection unless your healthcare provider tells you it is okay. You may be at a higher risk of developing shingles (herpes zoster).
  • Before starting RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ, tell your healthcare provider if you:
    ○ are being treated for an infection.
    ○ have had an infection that does not go away or that keeps coming back.
    ○ have diabetes, chronic lung disease, HIV, or a weak immune system.
    ○ have TB or have been in close contact with someone with TB.
    ○ have had shingles (herpes zoster).
    ○ have or have had hepatitis B or C.
    ○ live or have lived, or have traveled to certain parts of the country (such as the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys and the Southwest) where there is an increased chance for getting certain kinds of fungal infections. These infections may happen or become more severe if you use RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ. Ask your healthcare provider if you do not know if you have lived in an area where these infections are common.
    ○ think you have an infection or have symptoms of an infection such as:
  • fever, sweating, or chills
  • shortness of breath
  • warm, red, or painful skin or sores on your body
  • muscle aches
  • feeling tired
  • blood in your phlegm
  • diarrhea or stomach pain
  • cough
  • weight loss
  • burning when you urinate or urinating more often than usual
After starting RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ, call your healthcare provider right away if you have any symptoms of an infection. RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ can make you more likely to get infections or make worse any infections that you have. If you get a serious infection, your healthcare provider may stop your treatment with RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ until your infection is controlled.
2. Increased risk of death in people 50 years of age and older who have at least 1 heart disease (cardiovascular) risk factor and are taking a medicine in the class of medicines called Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors. RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ is a JAK inhibitor medicine. 
3. Cancer and immune system problems. 
RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ may increase your risk of certain cancers by changing the way your immune system works.
Lymphoma and other cancers, including skin cancers can happen in people taking RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ. People taking a medicine in the class of medicines called Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors have a higher risk of certain cancers including lymphoma and lung cancer, especially if you are a current or past smoker.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have ever had any type of cancer. Follow your healthcare provider’s advice about having your skin checked for skin cancer during treatment with RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ. Limit the amount of time you spend in sunlight. Avoid using tanning beds or sunlamps. Wear protective clothing when you are in the sun and use a sunscreen with a high protection factor (SPF 30 and above). This is especially important if your skin is very fair or if you have a family history of skin cancer. 
4. Increased risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke or death in people 50 years of age and older who have at least 1 heart disease (cardiovascular) risk factor and taking a medicine in the class of medicines called JAK inhibitors, especially if you are a current or past smoker.
Get emergency help right away if you have any symptoms of a heart attack or stroke while taking RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ, including:
  • discomfort in the center of your chest that lasts for more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back
  • severe tightness, pain, pressure, or heaviness in your chest, throat, neck, or jaw
  • pain or discomfort in your arms, back, neck, jaw, or stomach
  • shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort
  • breaking out in a cold sweat
  • nausea or vomiting
  • feeling lightheaded
  • weakness in one part or on one side of your body
  • slurred speech
5. Blood Clots (thrombosis).
Blood clots in the veins of your legs (deep vein thrombosis, DVT) or lungs (pulmonary embolism, PE) and arteries (arterial thrombosis) can happen in some people taking RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ. This may be life-threatening and cause death. Blood clots in the veins of the legs (DVT) and lungs (PE) have happened more often in people who are 50 years of age and older and with at least 1 heart disease (cardiovascular) risk factor taking a medicine in the class of medicines called Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors. 
  • Tell your healthcare provider if you have had blood clots in the veins of your legs or lungs in the past.
  • Get medical help right away if you have signs and symptoms of blood clots during treatment with RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ, including: 
○ swelling
○ pain or tenderness in one or both legs		○ sudden unexplained chest or upper back pain
○ shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
6. Allergic reactions. Symptoms such as rash (hives), trouble breathing, feeling faint or dizzy, or swelling of your lips, tongue, or throat, that may mean you are having an allergic reaction have been seen in people taking RINVOQ. Some of these reactions were serious. If any of these symptoms occur during treatment with RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ, stop taking RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ and get emergency medical help right away.
7. Tears (perforation) in the stomach or intestines. 
  • Tell your healthcare provider if you have had diverticulitis (inflammation in parts of the large intestine) or ulcers in your stomach or intestines. Some people taking RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ can get tears in their stomach or intestines. This happens most often in people who take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or corticosteroids.
  • Get medical help right away if you get stomach-area pain, fever, chills, nausea, or vomiting.
8. Changes in certain laboratory test results.
Your healthcare provider should do blood tests before you start taking RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ and while you take RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ to check for the following:
  • low neutrophil and lymphocyte counts. Neutrophils and lymphocytes are types of white blood cells that help the body fight off infections.
  • low red blood cell counts. Red blood cells carry oxygen. Low red blood cells means you may have anemia, which may make you feel weak and tired.
  • increased cholesterol levels. Your healthcare provider should do blood tests to check your cholesterol levels approximately 12 weeks after you start taking RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ, and as needed.
  • elevated liver enzymes. Liver enzymes help to tell if your liver is functioning normally. Elevated liver enzymes may indicate that your healthcare provider needs to do additional tests on your liver.
You should not take RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ if your neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, or red blood cell count is too low or your liver tests are too high. Your healthcare provider may stop your RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ treatment for a period of time if needed because of changes in these blood test results.
