What should I know about Tudriqev before using it?

Tudriqev is usually given by a health care provider in a hospital or clinic. It is given by injection into a tumor.

After receiving Tudriqev, you should keep the area covered with a dressing for at least 48 hours. If the dressing falls off, it should be put back on. Wear gloves when removing or replacing the dressing. Wash your hands before and after handling the dressing. Put used dressings, gloves, and cleaning materials in sealed plastic bags before throwing them into your household trash.
