BRIUMVI is given as a 1-hour infusion, twice per year*
*Following the starting dose.
BRIUMVI is an infusion therapy that is administered by a healthcare provider (such as a doctor or nurse) through a needle placed in a vein in your arm, also known as an intravenous (IV) infusion. Your healthcare provider is there to support you by reviewing the overall treatment process, answering any questions you may have, and monitoring for potential infusion-related reactions. Please allow enough time in your schedule for your infusion treatments.
What to expect on a typical BRIUMVI infusion day
Pre-infusion
30-60 MINUTES
Prior to every infusion, your healthcare provider will evaluate your overall health and answer any questions you may have about your infusion treatment.
Pre-infusion medication may be given orally or intravenously (IV) to help reduce possible infusion-related reactions.
During infusion
1 HOUR
Infusions (following the starting dose) will typically take 1 hour.
Post-infusion
FLEXIBLE
For your first 2 infusions, your healthcare provider will observe you for 1 hour after your infusion is completed.
