In Section 4.2 Posology and Method of administration the following information has been added

Increases in serum cholesterol levels have been reported with Tasigna therapy (see section 4.4). Lipid profiles should be assessed prior to initiating Tasigna therapy and as clinically indicated during treatment.

In Section 4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use the following information has been added:

Laboratory tests and monitoring; In a Phase III study in newly diagnosed CML patients, 1.1% of the patients treated with 400 mg nilotinib twice daily showed a Grade 3 4 elevation in cholesterol; no Grade 3 4 elevations were however observed in the 300 mg twice daily dose group. It is recommended that the lipid profile be assessed before initiating treatment with Tasigna and monitored during treatment, as clinically indicated (see section 4.2). If lipid-lowering agents are required, please refer to section 4.5 before initiating treatment since many cholesterol-lowering agents are also metabolised by the CYP3A4 pathway.
