How can I track my treatment with REBLOZYL?
In order to make the most of treatment with REBLOZYL, it’s important to keep track of your journey right from the start.
Be sure to talk to your healthcare team about what you should write down and track between REBLOZYL injections.
This may include:
- Your goals for treatment with REBLOZYL
- Upcoming appointments and injection schedule
- New or changing symptoms
- Blood work results, including hemoglobin (Hgb) levels
- Transfusion history, including date last received and how many units
- Any questions/concerns that come up between appointments
Keeping track of your REBLOZYL dose is an important part of playing an active role in your treatment.
Your REBLOZYL dose may change over time. Be sure to write down and keep track of:
- Your REBLOZYL dose
- Your Hgb levels
- How often you are receiving red blood cell (RBC) transfusions
- How many RBC units you are receiving in each transfusion
It may also help to keep track of how you feel over time, including changes in:
- How often or long you need to rest
- Ability to do daily tasks and activities, such as driving
- Feeling dizzy
- Feeling out of breath
- Feeling weak
Improvement in any of these areas may be a sign your anemia is getting better. Talk to your healthcare team about how your dose may change to support your treatment goals.
