What should I know about Ebglyss before using it?

Do not use Ebglyss unless it has been prescribed to you by a health care provider. Use it as prescribed.

Do not share Ebglyss with other people, even if they have the same condition as you. It may harm them.

Keep Ebglyss out of the reach of children. Since this medicine may be kept in a refrigerator, take special precautions to keep it away from children who also use the refrigerator.

This medicine is injected under the skin. Make sure that you or a caregiver understands how to properly prepare and use Ebglyss. If you have any questions, ask your health care provider.

Look at the liquid in the pen chamber or syringe before using. Do not use Ebglyss if the liquid is cloudy or contains visible particles. The solution should be clear, colorless, slightly yellow, or slightly brown. Do not use Ebglyss if the pen or syringe is broken, damaged, or cracked.

Do not shake Ebglyss. This can damage the medicine. 

Inject Ebglyss into your front upper thigh or abdomen. Avoid injecting too close to the belly button, knee, or groin. Ebglyss can also be injected into your upper arm but only if it is given by your health care provider or caregiver. 

Use a different injection site each time you use Ebglyss. Do not give the injection into tender areas, bruises, scars, red skin, hard skin, or skin that is affected by eczema. 

Throw away Ebglyss after you use a dose, even if there is medicine left in the pen or syringe. Each pen or syringe is good for just one use. Discard Ebglyss in a sharps container or in a household container made of heavy-duty plastic that is able to close tightly and is puncture- and leak-resistant. 

What should I tell my health care provider before using Ebglyss?

Tell your health care provider about all of your health conditions and any prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, vitamins/minerals, herbal products, and other supplements you are using. This will help them know if Ebglyss is right for you.

In particular, make sure that you discuss any of the following.

Parasite Infection. Ebglyss might make it hard for your body to fight certain parasite infections caused by worms (helminths). Tell your health care provider if you have a worm infection so it can be treated before you start Ebglyss. If you become infected with a worm, such as pinworm, tell your health care provider. 

Vaccines. Talk with your health care provider about any vaccines that you may need. You should not receive certain vaccines right before or while using Ebglyss. Tell your health care provider about any vaccines you have recently received or have scheduled.

Pregnancy. It is not known if or how Ebglyss could affect pregnancy or harm a fetus. Tell your health care provider if you are or plan to become pregnant. If you become pregnant while using Ebglyss, you or your health care provider can report it to the drugmaker by calling 800-545-5979. They will collect safety information about the use of Ebglyss during pregnancy.

Breastfeeding. It is not known if Ebglyss passes into breast milk. Tell your health care provider if you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. Your health care provider will let you know if you should use Ebglyss while breastfeeding.
