my husband had his first immunotherapy infusion. Drug was IMFINZI. He had a reaction. They will give him premeds before his next infusion.

Would you share the type of premeds they give him? It will help others facing the same issue. Thank you!

No premeds this time. After the reaction they gave him benadryl, pepcid & a steroid. They will give premeds next time but I don't know what ones yet

That’s the only pre meds I ever had to have...the benydryl. I’m glad his reaction was mild and that they’re continuing his treatment 😊
