You must avoid any exposure to sunlight and UV light during treatment. It is important to cover exposed skin areas and use sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF), as increased sensitivity of the skin to UV light may occur.

- inform your doctor immediately if you develop sunburn, severe skin rash, blistering, or bone pain

If you develop signs of "adrenal insufficiency", in which the adrenal glands do not produce adequate amounts of certain steroid hormones such as cortisol, which may lead to symptoms such as: chronic or prolonged fatigue, muscle weakness, loss of appetite, weight loss, abdominal pain, please inform your doctor.
If you develop signs of "Cushing's syndrome", where the body produces too much cortisol hormone, which may lead to symptoms such as: weight gain, fat accumulation between the shoulders, a rounded face, darkening of the abdominal skin, thinning of thighs, breasts, and arms, thinning of the skin, easy bruising, high blood sugar, excessive hair growth, excessive sweating, please inform your doctor.
