Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Pregnancy

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or could become pregnant. The specialist will weigh the need for treatment against possible risks to the baby.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding. It is not known how this medicine affects a breastfed baby, so your specialist will advise whether to pause breastfeeding or use another option.

Driving

Driving

This medicine may cause dizziness or tiredness. Do not drive or use machinery until you know how you feel after treatment.

Alcohol

Alcohol

Avoid alcohol unless your treating doctor says it is safe, because it may worsen dizziness or other side effects during treatment.

Directions for Use

This injection will be given by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic through a vein. Do not self-inject. You will be monitored during the infusion and afterwards for allergic or infusion-related reactions.

Storage and disposal

This product must be stored and prepared by the hospital or clinic according to the product label. Protect it from light and do not use a container that is damaged or has been stored incorrectly.

Quick Tips

  • Report breathing difficulty, facial swelling, faintness, or widespread rash during or after the infusion immediately.
  • Avoid close contact with people who have infections and follow the infection-prevention advice from your care team.
  • Keep all blood tests and follow-up appointments arranged by your specialist.

Dosage

Overdose

An excessive amount has no clearly established definition and may increase toxicity, so hospital monitoring is required. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

This medicine is administered under hospital supervision. If an appointment or infusion is missed, contact the transplant or blood-disorder team. If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it's time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Antithymocyte globulin contains antibodies that attach to and reduce the activity of certain immune cells. This lowers an unwanted immune attack on a transplanted kidney and can suppress the immune response involved in aplastic anaemia.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way this medicine works or increase side effects, particularly other medicines that suppress the immune system. Tell your doctor about all medicines, supplements, and herbal products you use. In particular, tell them if you are taking medicines after a transplant, medicines that affect blood cells, or any vaccine.
