  • Skin reactions, including rash, dryness, and infections, are common. Severe cases may need dose adjustments or treatment interruptions. Protect skin from sun exposure and report worsening symptoms to your healthcare provider.
  • Treatment with Cetuximab 100 mg/50 mL (2 mg/mL) or 200 mg/100 mL (2 mg/mL) may harm an unborn baby. Pregnant women or those planning pregnancy should avoid using this treatment. Effective contraception must be used during treatment and for two months after the last dose to prevent pregnancy.
