How will I receive BLINCYTO?

•BLINCYTO will be given to you by intravenous (IV) infusion into your vein by an infusion pump.
•You will receive BLINCYTO by continuous IV infusion for 4 weeks (28 days), followed by a 2 week break during which you will not be given BLINCYTO. This is one treatment cycle. After the 2 week break, your healthcare provider will decide if you will be given additional treatment cycles of BLINCYTO.
•Your healthcare provider may give you BLINCYTO in a hospital or clinic for the first 9 days of the first treatment cycle and for the first 2 days of the second cycle to check you for side effects. If you receive additional treatment cycles of BLINCYTO or if your treatment is stopped for a period of time and restarted, you may also be treated in a hospital or clinic.
•Your healthcare provider may change your dose of BLINCYTO, delay, or completely stop treatment with BLINCYTO if you have certain side effects.
•Your healthcare provider will do blood tests during treatment with BLINCYTO to check you for side effects.
•Before you receive BLINCYTO, you will be given a corticosteroid medicine to help reduce infusion reactions.
•It is very important to keep the area around the IV catheter clean to reduce the risk of getting an infection.Your healthcare provider will show you how to care for your catheter site.
•Do not change the settings on your infusion pump, even if there is a problem with your pump or your pump alarm sounds. Any changes to your infusion pump settings may cause a dose that is too high or too low to be given.
Call your healthcare provider or nurse right away if you have any problems with your pump or your pump alarm sounds.
