ABOUT KEYTRUDA
HOW KEYTRUDA IS GIVEN
KEYTRUDA is given as an infusion
An infusion is when medicine is delivered via a needle or catheter directly into a vein.
Most people receive KEYTRUDA every 3 weeks or every 6 weeks, depending on the dose you are given. It takes approximately 30 minutes to receive each dose.
Because KEYTRUDA is given as an infusion, you will receive it in a hospital or clinic, and staff will monitor you throughout the procedure and for a period afterwards.
Your doctor will decide how many KEYTRUDA infusions you receive, depending on how you respond. You will have regular tests to assess your response to treatment. Your doctor will decide how often to perform these tests.
