Important Information
On-body Injector for UDENYCA Description- The on-body injector for UDENYCA is intended for delivery of UDENYCA. This on-body injector delivers UDENYCA with an injection under-the-skin (subcutaneous). See the Patient Information that comes with your on-body injector for important information.
- Your healthcare provider will use a prefilled syringe with UDENYCA to fill the on-body injector prior to applying it. The prefilled syringe with UDENYCA and the on-body injector are provided to your healthcare provider as part of UDENYCA ONBODY. The on-body injector is applied directly to your skin using a self- adhesive backing. The on-body injector lets you know its status with sounds and lights.
Warnings- You should only receive a dose of UDENYCA on the day your healthcare provider tells you.
- You should not receive your dose of UDENYCA any sooner than 24 hours after you finish receiving your chemotherapy. The on-body injector for UDENYCA is programmed to deliver your dose about 27 hours after your healthcare provider places the on-body injector on your skin.
- If you have concerns about your medicine, call your healthcare provider right away. Serious allergic reactions can happen with UDENYCA. Ask your caregiver to be nearby for the first use. Plan to be in a place where you or your caregiver can closely monitor the on-body injector for UDENYCA for about 5-minutes during UDENYCA delivery and for an hour after the delivery.
- Do not take UDENYCA if you have had a serious allergic reaction to pegfilgrastim products or to filgrastim products.
- Tell your healthcare provider if you have had severe skin reactions to acrylic adhesives.
- If you have an allergic reaction during the delivery of UDENYCA, remove the on- body injector by grabbing the edge of the adhesive pad and peeling off the on- body injector. Get emergency medical help right away. Caution the needle may be exposed. Dispose of the on-body injector into a sharps disposal container right away.
- Call your healthcare provider right away if you have severe pain or skin discomfort around your on-body injector.
- Call your healthcare provider right away if you have pain in your left upper stomach area or left shoulder area. This pain could mean your spleen is enlarged or ruptured.
- Call your healthcare provider or get emergency medical help right away if you get any of these symptoms of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS): fever, shortness of breath, trouble breathing, or a fast rate of breathing.
- Call your healthcare provider right away if you experience any of these symptoms of kidney injury (glomerulonephritis): puffiness in your face or ankles, blood in your urine or brown colored urine or you notice you urinate less than usual.
- Call your healthcare provider if you have persistent or worsening redness or tenderness at the application site (may be a sign of infection).
- The on-body injector is for adult patients only.
Wearing the On-body Injector- This on-body injector delivers UDENYCA with an under-the-skin (subcutaneous) injection.
- The on-body injector is small, for one-time use, lightweight, battery-powered, and waterproof up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) for 1 hour.
- The on-body injector can be worn in a shower. After showering, check the on- body injector to make sure it has not become loose (dislodged).
