Innan behandling med Radium-223 inleds ska skelettstatus och frakturrisk noggrant bedömas och följas minst 24 månader. Xofigo kan leda till benmärgssuppression med trombocytopeni och neutropeni varför blodstatus måste kontrolleras före behandling. Radiofarmaka ska endast tas emot, användas och administreras av behörig personal i ändamålsenliga lokaler. Administrering av radiofarmaka kan utgöra en risk för andra personer på grund av extern strålning eller kontamination från spill av urin, feces, uppkastningar. Med tanke på de potentiella effekter på spermatogenesen som är förknippade med strålning, bör män rådas att använda effektiva preventivmetoder under och upp till 6 månader efter behandling med Xofigo.
