The dosage is based on your body size, medical condition, and response to therapy. It is recommended that other medications (acetaminophen, diphenhydramine) be given before, and up to 12 hours after Mylotarg has been given to decrease the risk of certain allergic-like side effects (e.g., chills, fever). Mylotarg may contain small particles after it is added to the IV solution. It is very important to use an IV filter (in- line filter) when giving Mylotarg. Consult your pharmacist for the proper use of the filter. Before using, check this product visually for unusual particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid.
