Cablivi

Your first dose of Cablivi (caplacizumab) will be given to you by a healthcare provider in the hospital as an IV injection. Then, you or your caregiver can give you the rest of the Cablivi (caplacizumab) injections under the skin at home.

Read the instructions on how to mix the medication and how to give yourself Cablivi (caplacizumab) injections. Make sure your provider or pharmacist teach you how to give yourself Cablivi (caplacizumab) so that you avoid accidentally hurting yourself or wasting the medication. Contact your provider or pharmacist if you have any questions on how to use this medication.

Before using Cablivi (caplacizumab), take the medication out of the refrigerator. Hold the vial and syringe in your hand for 10 seconds to warm them up. Don't try to warm it up any other way, such as with a microwave, because doing so can damage your medication.

Cablivi (caplacizumab) must be mixed before you inject it. Each carton comes with a vial of medication and a s__yringe with sterile water__ that must be added to the vial. Don't inject the contents of the vial without first mixing it with the sterile water.

Use Cablivi (caplacizumab) immediately after mixing. However, if this isn't possible, you can store it for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

After you inject Cablivi (caplacizumab), throw away the syringe and needle in a sharps container or something made of heavy-duty plastic, such as an empty milk carton or laundry detergent bottle, to lower the risk of needle-stick injuries. Don't throw away them away in your trash can. When your sharps container is almost full, close it tightly with the cap. For more information on how to throw away your sharps container safely and guidance for your specific state, visit the FDA's website.

Store Cablivi (caplacizumab) in the refrigerator in the original carton to protect it from light. However, for convenience, you can store Cablivi (caplacizumab) at room temperature for up to 2 months. Once placed at room temperature, don't put it back in the refrigerator.

Let your provider know in advance if you're scheduled for a surgery or procedure that might cause bleeding, including dental procedures. Your provider might ask you to stop taking Cablivi (caplacizumab) 7 days before you undergo any surgery or procedure, since Cablivi (caplacizumab) raises your risk for bleeding.

Make sure to tell your provider about all the medications you're taking before starting Cablivi (caplacizumab), especially if you're taking an antiplatelet, such as aspirin, or an anticoagulant, such as warfarin (Coumadin), because these raise your risk for bleeding. Don't start any new medications while taking Cablivi (caplacizumab) without talking to your provider or pharmacist first.
