Treatment with CABLIVI is started in the hospital. After you've completed plasma exchange, sometimes called PEX, your doctor may want you to continue your treatment at home.
Your doctor has options when it comes to your treatment for aTTP/iTTP.* Make sure to ask if you were prescribed CABLIVI.
You, your family, or your caregiver should receive training from your doctor or nurse until you or they feel confident about administering CABLIVI. Let your doctor know if you, your family, or your caregiver are not comfortable doing this or if you have any questions. CABLIVI Patient Solutions offers training on self-injection technique.
After your doctor has decided that you no longer need daily plasma exchange, keep taking CABLIVI until your doctor tells you to stop. Your doctor may decide you need to take CABLIVI for more than 30 days (for up to additional 28 days).
The CABLIVI Patient Solutions program is also available to provide additional support and resources as you move from hospital to home.
There are Instructions For Use that come with CABLIVI, which explain how to administer the medicine. The instructions are also explained in the Administration Training Guide, available in the Support and resources section. It is important that you read through these instructions carefully.
Talk to your doctor before you stop treatment with CABLIVI. Do not stop treatment, even if you start to feel better, as stopping treatment too early could cause you to have another aTTP/iTTP episode.
When your doctor prescribes CABLIVI, you may receive a welcome kit with your prescription that includes these useful resources:
