Safety Information
Thyrogen® (thyrotropin alfa for injection) is used in combination with other tests to detect recurring or leftover thyroid cancer cells in patients with a history of certain types of thyroid cancer. Thyrogen is injected in a muscle, and is available only by prescription. The most common side effects reported in clinical studies were nausea, headache, weakness & vomiting. When using Thyrogen, there is a risk that thyroid cancer cells may not be detected and diagnosis of recurring cancer may be missed. If you think that Thyrogen may be right for you, or if you have any problems with the use of Thyrogen, please contact your doctor. To learn more, please see full product information (PDF), contact Genzyme toll free at 1-88-THYROGEN (1-888-497-6436).
