Precautions
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure that this medicine is working properly. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
It is very important to tell your doctor if you are allergic to rubber. The needle cover of the prefilled syringe contains dry natural rubber latex, which may cause an allergic reaction if you have a latex allergy.
If you experience left upper stomach pain or shoulder tip pain, contact your doctor right away.
Check with your doctor right away at the first sign of any infection such as fever; chills; cough; diarrhea; sore throat; or redness, swelling, or pain around a cut or sore.
Check with your doctor right away if you develop shortness of breath, chest pain or tightness, fast breathing, or wheezing. These could be symptoms of a serious lung condition called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
This medicine may cause a serious allergic reaction, including anaphylaxis, which is life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. Tell your doctor right away if you have a rash; itching; swelling of the face, tongue, or throat; trouble with breathing; or chest pain after you get the injection.
You should not use this medicine for 14 days before and up to 24 hours after you receive cancer medicines.
