What are the side effects of Ibrance?

The most common serious side effect of Ibrance, lowered white blood cell counts, is experienced by almost all patients. White blood cells are the body's principal defense against infections, so Ibrance lowers the body's ability to prevent or fight infections. As a result, Ibrance patients are at high risk of infections, which could be serious or fatal. Pneumonia and respiratory infections are the most common. Consult your doctor immediately if you have an infection or symptoms of an infection such as fever, chills, chest pain, shortness of breath, or cough.

Swelling of the lungs is another serious side effect causing shortness of breath, blood clots in the lungs, and even death.

Other common side effects include, but are not limited to, easy bruising/bleeding, weakness/tiredness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, appetite loss, mouth sores, dry skin, rash, altered taste, nosebleed, and hair loss.
