Are you experiencing a rash and severe pain around your Tecvayli injection site?
Injection site reactions, including rashes and pain, can happen with Tecvayli (teclistamab). This is something others with myeloma have experienced with similar treatments. One MyMyelomaTeam member who had a similar issue with bortezomib (Velcade) injections found relief by switching the injection site — moving from the abdomen to just below the shoulder completely eliminated their pain and side effects. It may be worth asking your care team if a site change could help in your situation too.
There are also a few important things to be aware of with Tecvayli:
- Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a known risk — symptoms can include fever, chills, or breathing problems
- Allergic or injection-related reactions are also possible
- Close monitoring is required because of these risks
It's really important to let your oncologist know about the rash and pain as soon as possible. They need to assess whether this is a local injection reaction or something that requires closer attention. Don't try any over-the-counter creams or treatments without checking with your doctor first, as they could interact with your medications.
