• Myelosuppression : Monitor complete blood count (CBC) and adjust the dose of mercaptopurine for excessive myelosuppression. Consider testing in patients with severe myelosuppression or repeated episodes of myelosuppression for thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) or nucleotide diphosphatase (NUDT15) deficiency. Patients with homozygous-TPMT or homozygous-NUDT15 deficiency may require a dose reduction. ( 2.2 , 5.1 ) • Hepatotoxicity : Monitor transaminases, alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin. Withhold mercaptopurine at onset of hepatotoxicity. ( 5.2 ) • Immunosuppression : Response to all vaccines may be diminished and there is a risk of infection with live virus vaccines. Consult immunization guidelines for immunocompromised pediatrics. ( 5.3 ) • Treatment Related Malignancies : Aggressive and fatal cases of hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma have occurred. ( 5.4 ) • Macrophage Activation Syndrome : Monitor for and treat promptly; discontinue mercaptopurine. ( 5.5 ) • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : Can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.6 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) • Phenylketonuria : Patients should be informed that mercaptopurine oral suspension contains phenylalanine, a component of aspartame. Each mL of the 20 mg/mL oral suspension contains 0.015 mg of phenylalanine. ( 5.7 ) 5.1 Myelosuppression The most consistent, dose-related adverse reaction of mercaptopurine is myelosuppression, manifested …

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Mercaptopurine can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] . Pregnant women who receive mercaptopurine have an increased incidence of miscarriage and stillbirth (see Data ) . Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population(s) is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data …
