Laquembi is every two weeks. The first time I had him he infusion I became dizzy had a bad head ache Dr told me to go and get Benadryl. Took a tablet went sleep never happened again. The first time they keep you for three hours. If that goes OK the next time you have an infusion they keep you for an 2hours . After that 1 hr no complications like dizziness, headache, or anything like that they let you go after transfusion.
At the start of I seem to have gotten worse, but then I got better as time went on. I’m on my 18th or 19th infusion.
We go away on vacations but we travel around the infusion day. I’ve learned it’s important to get your infusion on time.
Wishing you good luck

@joycel10 I will get my first Leqembi infusion next week. From what I've read, it is now available in the at-home form now. They have even okayed starting with the injections at home from the very beginning. I am hoping to start at the hospital and after about the 3rd MRI and if I have no issues, I can switch to at home injections. They are making progress pretty quickly it seems. This is all very new so you'll have to check with your doctor but just stay informed. understand also that there is about a 5 day window to getting the infusion. The injections at home may really simplify travel issues. Good luck and safe travels.
