Patient/caregiver was educated on precautions to be exercised while taking Mitigare as follows: The metabolites of Mitigare along with the significant unmetabolized portion of the administered drug are excreted primarily in the urine and partially in feces.

So, Mitigare must be used with [...]

Avoid drinking grapefruit juice along with Mitigare, as it can also influence the metabolism of Mitigare in the body. Slowdown of Mitigare metabolism can contribute towards accumulation of the drug in the body, thus leading to development of toxic side-effects. If [...]
