Opdivo is given as an infusion into a vein by a healthcare provider. This medicine must be given slowly, and the infusion can take 30 to 90 minutes to complete.
Opdivo is usually given once every 2 to 4 weeks. Your other cancer medicines may be given on different schedules. Your doctor will determine how long to treat you with all medicines.
You will need frequent medical tests to help your doctor determine if it is safe for you to keep receiving Opdivo.
Opdivo can cause side effects in many different parts of your body. You may be given medication to prevent certain side effects, and your cancer treatments may be delayed if you need treatment for a side effect.
