Product introduction

Tecvayli 30mg Injection is a medicine used in the treatment of multiple myeloma, a type of cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow. It works by helping the immune cells to find and destroy the cancer. This targeted approach helps the treatment work more effectively against the cancer cells.

Tecvayli 30mg Injection is administered as an injection by a doctor or a nurse, typically in a clinical setting. The dosage and frequency depend on the specific treatment plan prescribed by your doctor. It is important to follow the treatment schedule exactly to achieve the best possible outcome.


For maximum benefit, it is important to attend all scheduled appointments and adhere to any additional instructions provided by your doctor. This may include reporting any side effects promptly and following guidance on supportive care measures, such as managing symptoms or preventing infections.


Common side effects of Tecvayli 30mg Injection include fever, musculoskeletal pain, injection site reactions, fatigue, upper respiratory tract infection, nausea, headache, and diarrhea. For mild side effects, your doctor may suggest treatments to help manage them, such as medications to reduce nausea or fever. In the case of more severe side effects, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately to receive appropriate care.


While on treatment with Tecvayli 30mg Injection, avoid contact with people who have infections, as your immune system may be weakened, making you more susceptible to illnesses. It is also important to avoid live vaccines during treatment, as they could pose a risk to your health.


Before starting treatment, inform your doctor about any other medical conditions you have, particularly those affecting your heart or immune system, as well as any medicines or supplements you are taking. Tecvayli 30mg Injection can interact with other drugs, so your doctor may need to adjust your treatment plan accordingly.


Additionally, women of childbearing age should use effective contraception during treatment and for a period after the last dose, as Tecvayli 30mg Injection could potentially harm an unborn baby. Always discuss any concerns or questions with your doctor to ensure the safest and most effective use of the medicine.
