Warning and Precautions

  • Don’t use this medicine if there’s a current infection or hidden tuberculosis. If a serious infection happens, stop taking tocilizumab until it’s under control. Before starting Tocilizumab injection, check for tuberculosis risk and latent infection.
  • Watch closely for signs of infection while using Tocilizumab 200 mg injection. Be cautious if there’s a higher risk of stomach perforation. It’s not recommended for patients with very low neutrophil count (less than 500 per mm).
  • Check neutrophil levels 4 to 8 weeks after starting and every 3 months. Also, monitor ALT and AST levels during the same periods. The intravenous use of tocilizumab injection should only be done by a healthcare pro to handle any serious reactions.
  • Look out for signs of demyelinating disorders. Avoid this injection if you’re known to be hypersensitive to tocilizumab injection. Stay away from live vaccines, as their safety with this medicine isn’t confirmed.
  • If there’s an overdose, watch for adverse reactions and provide appropriate treatment for any symptoms.
