Infusion reactions: Most infusion reactions
occur during or shortly after the first infusion. Infusion reactions can also occur
with subsequent infusions. Monitor patients closely for signs and symptoms of
infusion reactions and interrupt the infusion for any grade reaction and treat
promptly. Permanently discontinue POTELIGEO for any life-threatening (Grade 4)
infusion reaction.
Infections: Monitor patients for signs and
symptoms of infection and treat promptly.
Autoimmune complications: Interrupt or
permanently discontinue POTELIGEO as appropriate for suspected immune-mediated
adverse reactions. Consider the benefit/risk of POTELIGEO in patients with a history
of autoimmune disease.
Complications of allogeneic HSCT after
POTELIGEO: Increased risks of transplant complications have been
reported in patients who received allogeneic HSCT after POTELIGEO. Follow patients
closely for early evidence of transplant-related complications.
