Choosing a treatment to manage the symptoms of your anemia
is a joint decision between you, your caregiver(s), and your healthcare team. If you have transfusion-
dependent beta (β) thalassemia (BT)
and anemia, REBLOZYL may be a treatment option for you.
When thinking about prescribing REBLOZYL, your healthcare team will also consider factors, such as:
Your current treatments
How often you have red blood cell (RBC) transfusions (sometimes called a transfusion burden)
If you have had your spleen removed (splenectomy)
If you have any other health conditions, such as high blood pressure, or have had previous blood clots or extramedullary hematopoietic (EMH)
masses
Considering these factors will help your doctor determine if REBLOZYL is right for you.
Every medicine comes with certain benefits and important safety considerations. These might include:
