Your guide to OPDIVO and side effects that can occur with treatment

Monitoring signs and symptoms

Signs and symptoms that may appear mild can quickly worsen if left untreated.

DO NOT try to treat any signs and symptoms yourself.

Always carry your Patient Alert Card with you.

Contact your cancer specialist doctor (oncologist) immediately if you experience any of the symptoms previously described, if they get worse, or if you experience anything unusual while on OPDIVO or OPDIVO in combination with YERVOY.

These are not all the possible side effects of treatment, so you should report any discomfort or changes in the way you are feeling to your Oncology Care Team. Some side effects may occur many months after treatment.

Getting medical treatment right away may keep the problem from becoming more serious.

Early treatment of side effects may reduce the likelihood that treatment with OPDIVO or OPDIVO in combination with YERVOY will need to be temporarily or permanently stopped.

Please note: Contact your doctor if you need advice, information, and support.
