What is Ogivri?

Ogivri is used to treat certain types of breast cancer or stomach cancer, sometimes in combination with other cancer medicines.

Ogivri is sometimes used when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic).

Ogivri may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

Do not use if you are pregnant. Use effective birth control, and tell your doctor if you become pregnant during treatment.

Ogivri can cause heart failure, especially if you have heart disease or if you are also receiving certain other cancer medicines.

Some side effects may occur during the injection. Tell your caregivers if you feel dizzy, nauseated, light-headed, weak, short of breath, or if you have a headache, fever, or chills.

How should I use Ogivri

Your doctor will perform a medical test to make sure Ogivri is the right medicine to treat your cancer.

Ogivri is given as an infusion into a vein. A healthcare provider will give you this injection.

Ogivri is usually given once every week or every 1 to 3 weeks. Follow your doctor's dosing instructions very carefully.

This medicine must be given slowly, and the infusion can take up to 90 minutes to complete.

You may need frequent medical tests to be sure this medicine is not causing harmful effects. Your cancer treatments may be delayed based on the results.

Your heart function may need to be checked before and during treatment with Ogivri. You may also need heart function testing every 6 months for 2 years after your last dose of this medicine.

Ogivri is usually given for 52 weeks, or until your body no longer responds to the medication.
