Do not change your dose or stop taking CALQUENCE unless your doctor tells you to. Your doctor may tell you to decrease your dose, temporarily stop taking, or completely stop taking CALQUENCE if you develop certain side effects. Be sure to talk to your doctor about recommended dosing.

If you miss a dose of CALQUENCE, take it as soon as you remember. If it is more than three hours past your usual dosing time, take your next dose of CALQUENCE at your regularly scheduled time. Do not take an extra dose to make up for a missed one.
