Orthoclone OKT3
Muromonab-CD3 may be given immediately following liver transplant to prevent rejection. It may also be used to treat rejection.
How to take:
- This medication is given only in the IV form. It is generally given once per day for 5 to 14 days.
- To reduce side effects, the patient may receive TYLENOL® or BENADRYL® before treatment with OKT3.
- The transplant team will determine the dosage appropriate for the patient based on weight, how the transplant is functioning, white blood cell count, platelet count, and the possible side effects of Muromonab-CD3.
