Inotuzumab ozogamicin injection is used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that has come back or after other medicines did not work well. Leukemia is a type of cancer where the body makes abnormal white blood cells.

Inotuzumab ozogamicin is an antineoplastic (cancer) medicine. It interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed by the body. Since the growth of normal cells may also be affected by inotuzumab ozogamicin, other side effects can occur. Before you begin treatment, talk to your doctor about the benefits of inotuzumab ozogamicin as well as the possible risks of using it.

Inotuzumab ozogamicin is to be given only by or under the direct supervision of your doctor.

Xadago (safinamide) is monoamine oxidase inhibitor type B (MAO-B). This medicine works by allowing a chemical called dopamine (DOE pa meen) to work for longer periods of time in the brain. Low levels of dopamine in the brain are associated with Parkinson's disease.

Xadago is given with levodopa and carbidopa to treat "wearing-off" episodes (muscle stiffness, loss of muscle control) in people with Parkinson's disease.
