Opdyta 40 MG Description

Opdyta solution for infusion contains nivolumab, a medication used to treat various cancers like skin, lung, and kidney cancer. It works by boosting the immune system's ability to fight cancer by blocking molecules that suppress its activity.

Opdyta solution for infusion is not suitable for everyone. People with severe allergies to the drug or certain autoimmune diseases like lupus shouldn't use it. Patients with organ transplants also need to be cautious.

Common side effects may include rash, weakness, and headache. Make sure to inform your doctor about any existing lung, liver, or kidney issues, as well as all medications you are currently taking, since they may interact with Opdyta solution for infusion. This medication is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and it is crucial for both partners to use effective contraception during treatment.
