Cardiomyopathy and Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Cardiomyopathy

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity 

  •  Exposure to Pertuzuamab can result in embryo-fetal death and birth defects. Studies in animals have resulted in oligohydramnios, delayed renal development, and death. Advise patients of these risks and the need for effective contraception.
