About this active substance

Talquetamab is a monoclonal antibody used in the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. It works by targeting specific receptors on the surface of tumor cells, activating the immune system to destroy cancer cells.

The medication is administered via subcutaneous injection, as directed by a doctor. It is important for patients to be closely monitored to prevent severe adverse reactions, such as cytokine release syndrome.

Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as fever, fatigue, or nausea. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.

Common side effects include fever, fatigue, nausea, and decreased blood cell counts. In rare cases, severe reactions such as cytokine release syndrome or serious infections may occur. Patients should be informed of these risks before starting treatment.
