User Reviews for Gazyva intravenous

Day one had a slight reaction with chills infusion stopped givien an extra Benadryl 25 mg. That evening had a fever of 103 very difficult to get down with Motrin and Tylenol. Made it through the night and went in to get second infusion without any complications. Notice some new night sweats and I have a cough.Tumor in my neck is now half the size.

So far I have received the first two infusions. I had an infusion reaction after 18 mg of drug infusion on the first day, but was quickly stabilized and the infusion (100 mg) completed without further events. The second infusion (900 mg) was uneventful. Prior to my third infusion my blood test showed than my white count had dropped from 145.2 to 1.8. That 1.8 consisted of 0.9 lymphocytes and 0.9 neutrophils. Because of the neutropenia my third infusion has been delayed for a week, or until my blood counts recover acceptably.Read More Read Less

First treatment is where allergic reaction can occur, 44 mg of this drug on the first treatment took my WBC count from 177 to 80. after the 2nd treatment from 80 to 4.4. My blood numbers are near perfect only after 3 treatments.

Turned my father around! No ill side effects. It was so effective they did not have to administer the full treatment. 88 year old male in poor health.

Rigors, (heavy shivers), long infusions, feeling ill and weak, especially after first treatment week, but tumor did shrink.
