Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start taking talazoparib and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once daily. Swallow the capsules whole. Do not open or dissolve the capsules.

If you vomit after taking a dose, do not take another dose at that time. Take your next dose at the regular time.
