A nurse or other trained health professional will give you or your child this medicine in a hospital or clinic. This medicine is given through a needle placed in one of your veins. The medicine must be injected slowly, so your IV will need to stay in place for 60 to 120 minutes every other week.
Your doctor may give you other medicines before treatment (eg, allergy medicine, steroid) to help prevent unwanted effects.
