The medication is administered via intravenous infusion, usually once a week, as directed by a doctor. It is important for patients to be closely monitored during treatment to prevent potential complications.
Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as skin rashes, fatigue, or elevated blood glucose levels. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.
