Proper Use
Drug information provided by: Merative, Micromedex®
A nurse or other trained health professional will give you this medicine in a hospital or cancer center. It is given through a needle placed into one of your veins using a pump. The medicine must be injected slowly, so your IV tube will need to stay in place for less than 30 minutes. It is given 3 days after completing treatment with other cancer medicines (eg, fludarabine, cyclophosphamide).
Your doctor will check you for unwanted effects at least daily for 7 days. Your doctor may also want you to stay close to the hospital or center for at least 4 weeks after your infusion.
You may be given other medicines (eg, allergy medicine, fever medicine, steroid medicine) 1 hour before starting treatment with this medicine.
It is very important that you understand the requirements of the Yescarta® and Tecartus™ REMS program, and become familiar with the Yescarta® medication guide. Read and follow these instructions carefully. Ask your doctor if you have any questions. Ask your pharmacist for the medication guide if you do not have one.
