It is given once every three weeks, and each infusion session may take around 30–90 minutes, depending on individual treatment needs.

If you experience nausea, try eating small, frequent meals and avoid heavy or greasy foods. Fatigue can be managed by resting when needed and pacing activities. Let your doctor know if any of these side effects persist or worsen. They may be able to help ways to reduce or prevent the side effects.
