Using cetuximab together with CARBOplatin can increase the risk of infections.

It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Professional:

MONITOR: The use of cetuximab in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy, has been associated with an increased frequency of severe leukopenia or severe neutropenia, as compared to platinum-based chemotherapy alone. The risk of infections, such as febrile neutropenia, pneumonia, and sepsis, may be increased. The risk is increased in the presence of skin lesions, mucositis, diarrhea, or other conditions that facilitate the development of infections.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if cetuximab is used in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients should be monitored closely for hematologic abnormalities and infections.
