A nurse or other trained health professional will give you or your child this medicine in a hospital. This medicine is given through an IV catheter that is placed in one of your veins.
The medicine must be injected slowly, so the IV will need to stay in place for 4 hours. It is usually given every 2 weeks.
Your doctor will give you other medicines (eg, allergy, fever, or steroid medicine) before you receive this medicine to help prevent unwanted effects.
Call your doctor or pharmacist for instructions.
