How long does it take to stop taking Niraparib?

Niraparib (Niraparib) is a targeted therapy used to treat certain types of ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It may sometimes be used to treat other cancers. Niraparib belongs to a group of targeted therapy drugs called cancer growth inhibitors. It is also known as a PARP inhibitor. PARPs are proteins that help damaged cells repair themselves. Niraparib blocks (inhibits) the way the PARP protein works. Without PARP proteins, cancer cells may be destroyed beyond survival and die.

Niraparib prescribing information shows that patients should be treated with niraparib until intolerable toxicity occurs. If certain side effects occur, doctors may reduce the niraparib dose or permanently or temporarily discontinue treatment for up to 28 days. This dose adjustment or interruption is done to allow your blood counts or other serious side effects to improve. Due to the risk of thrombocytopenia, caution is recommended when using niraparib with anticoagulants or drugs that lower platelet counts.
