How do healthcare providers administer Avastin?

Healthcare providers administer Avastin (bevacizumab) as an infusion. That means they deliver Avastin through a small needle in your vein or through a port, which is a device placed under your skin.

Because healthcare providers administer Avastin as an infusion, infusion-related reactions may occur. Your doctor or nurse will stop Avastin infusions if infusion reactions are severe.

Your doctor or nurse will monitor you for signs of an infusion-related reaction, which may include:

High blood pressure or severe high blood pressure that may lead to stroke
Trouble breathing
Decreased oxygen in red blood cells
A serious allergic reaction
Chest pain
Headache
