Is FASPRO (darzalex and hyaluranidase) for subcutaneous injection as effective and safer than darzalex intravenous?

I was told the injection is a little safer because of the potential side effects that could take happen especially the anaphylactic shock. Other than that you should be good. I started with it in June and have had no real side effects with it.

Attached is a link to the Darzalex FasPro website where you can access the FDA prescribing sheet. May help to clear things up.

I have been on it for 10 months and get tired after and rest that day. Other than that I feel fine.

DRRAYLANZA, Hi Darzalex Fastpro is just as effective as the infusion and can have the same side effects. It is given by a trained health care professionals as a subcutaneous injection under the skin of the stomach over 3-5 minutes. They are trained to watch for any adverse reactions. Talk with your doctor about any concerns before starting it, Have a Wonderful Sunday! Love, Marcia 🌼🌸🌻
