Precautions
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure that this medicine is working properly.
You or your child will need to have a skin test for tuberculosis before you start using this medicine. Tell your doctor if you or anyone in your home has ever had a positive reaction to a tuberculosis test.
Your body's ability to fight an infection may be reduced while you are being treated with canakinumab. It is very important that you call your doctor right away if you or your child have a fever or chills; cough or hoarseness; lower back or side pain; or painful or difficult urination.
Do not get any immunizations (vaccines) without your doctor's approval while you or your child are being treated with this medicine. Canakinumab may lower your body's ability to fight infections and there is a chance you might get the infection the immunization is meant to prevent.
