Before you take ACCRUFeR, tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including if you have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); are pregnant or plan to become pregnant (it is not known if ACCRUFeR will harm your unborn baby; talk to your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant); are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed (it is not known if ACCRUFeR passes into your breast milk); talk to your doctor about the best way to feed your baby if you take ACCRUFeR.

Taking ACCRUFeR and certain other medicines may interact, which could potentially cause serious side effects. Some medicines may need to be taken at least 4 hours before or 4 hours after you have taken ACCRUFeR. Ask your healthcare provider for a list of these medicines if you are not sure if you take one of these medicines
Especially tell your healthcare provider if you take:
