Oxlumo Injection Dosage and Administration

Before receiving their first subcutaneous injection of lumasiran, the ordering physician determines the patient’s dose. This dose depends on the patient’s weight as well as the severity of the condition for which he or she is receiving treatment. 

The first four injections are typically administered once per month. The following injections are typically administered every three months.
