How is Tocilizumab administered?
Tocilizumab injection can be administered through a needle placed into a vein (intravenous route) or as a shot under the skin (subcutaneous route). The intravenous route is given in a medical facility by a nurse or other trained health professional, while the subcutaneous route can sometimes be given at home if the patient does not need to be in the hospital or clinic. The injection must be given slowly, with the needle remaining in place for at least an hour for the intravenous route, and the patient will be taught how to administer the subcutaneous injection by a doctor or nurse if needed.
