How is daratumumab and hyaluronidase given?
Daratumumab and hyaluronidase is injected under the skin. A healthcare provider will give you this injection over a period of 3 to 5 minutes.
You may be given other medications to help prevent serious side effects or an allergic reaction. Keep using these medicines for as long as your doctor has prescribed.
Daratumumab and hyaluronidase is usually given every 1 to 4 weeks until your body no longer responds to the medicine. Your doctor will determine how long to treat you with this medicine, and how often you will receive an injection.
The injection is given under the skin of your stomach. Do not given any other injections (such as insulin) into the same place where your last daratumumab and hyaluronidase injection was given.
When used in combination with other medicines, the dosing schedules of the other medicines may be different from your daratumumab and hyaluronidase schedule.
You will need frequent medical tests, and your next dose may be delayed based on the results.
Daratumumab and hyaluronidase can have long lasting effects on your body, and can affect the results of certain medical tests for up to 6 months after your last dose. Make sure any doctor caring for you knows you were treated with this medicine.
If you've ever had hepatitis B, using daratumumab and hyaluronidase can cause this virus to become active or get worse. You may need frequent liver function tests while using this medicine and for several months after you stop.
