Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as infusion site reactions, fever, or flu-like symptoms. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.

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