Ublituximab-xiiy injection is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It works by decreasing the action of immune cells that may cause nerve damage.
HOW should this medicine be used?
Ublituximab-xiiy injection comes as a solution (liquid) to be injected intravenously (into a vein) by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or medical office. The first infusion is given over 4 hours. The second infusion is given over 1 hour 2 weeks later. After that, infusions are given over 1 hour every 24 weeks.
Ublituximab-xiiy injection can cause serious reactions, which can occur more than 24 hours after receiving a dose. A doctor or nurse will watch you closely during and for at least 1 hour after you receive a dose. You may be given other medications to prevent and treat these reactions.
