Transitioning Care
You may need to receive care at more than one treatment center as you start and continue TECVAYLI®
You should be admitted to the hospital when you start treatment with TECVAYLI®. This is where you should receive your step-up dosing schedule, so that you can be monitored for at least 48 hours after each dose to ensure you are tolerating the treatment. Once the step-up dosing schedule is complete, you will transition to receiving weekly doses of TECVAYLI®, which may be given at a different treatment facility in the outpatient setting.
Here are some tips to keep in mind during transitions in your care:
After an initial step-up dosing schedule, you will be given TECVAYLI® weekly, and then ongoing treatment doses thereafter, possibly at a different location.
Your care team can help you set up these appointments, and you may want to consider scheduling the first one before you leave the hospital. It should take place one week after your first treatment dose.
To help you keep track of treatment, the Starting Treatment with TECVAYLI® brochure includes a section for you to jot down each time you’re given a dose of TECVAYLI®.
It’s also a good idea to keep track of how you’re feeling each day so that you can discuss it with your care team to help them determine whether or not you are experiencing side effects.
Remember to always carry your Patient Wallet Card so that you can be easily identified as someone receiving TECVAYLI®.
