Some possible side effects with Kisunla
Kisunla may cause side effects. Your doctor will monitor you closely throughout your Kisunla journey
Kisunla can cause serious side effects, including amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (or "ARIA") as well as allergic and infusion-related reactions.
ARIA is a common side effect that does not usually cause any symptoms, but serious symptoms can occur. ARIA can be fatal. ARIA is most commonly seen as temporary swelling in an area or areas of the brain that usually goes away over time. Some people may also have spots of bleeding on the surface of or in the brain and infrequently, larger areas of bleeding in the brain can occur. Although most people do not have symptoms, some people have:
- Headache
- Confusion
- Dizziness
- Vision changes
- Nausea
- Difficulty walking
- Seizures
Some people have a genetic risk factor that may cause an increased risk for ARIA. Talk to your healthcare provider about testing to see if you have this risk factor.
You may be at higher risk of developing bleeding in the brain if you take medicines to reduce blood clots from forming while receiving Kisunla. Talk to your healthcare provider to see if you are on any medicines that increase this risk.
Your healthcare provider will do magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans before and during your treatment with Kisunla to check you for ARIA. You should carry information that you are receiving Kisunla, which can cause ARIA, and that ARIA symptoms can look like stroke symptoms. Call your healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away if you have any of the symptoms listed above.
Certain types of allergic and infusion-related reactions, some of which can be serious and life-threatening, can occur. Do not receive Kisunla if you have serious allergic reactions to donanemab-azbt or any of the ingredients in Kisunla. Symptoms may include:
- Swelling of the face, lips, mouth, or eyelids
- Problems breathing
- Hives
- Chills
- Irritation of skin
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Sweating
- Headache
- Chest pain
You will be monitored for at least 30 minutes after you receive Kisunla for any reaction.
Other common side effects include headache.
These are not all the possible side effects of Kisunla.
