IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

What is the most important information I should know about ADUHELM?

ADUHELM can cause serious side effects, including:
Amyloid Related Imaging Abnormalities or “ARIA”

  • ARIA is a common side effect that does not usually cause any symptoms but can be serious. It is most commonly seen as temporary swelling in areas of the brain that usually resolves over time. Some people may also have small spots of bleeding in or on the surface of the brain, and infrequently, larger areas of bleeding in the brain can occur
  • Most people with this type of swelling of the brain do not get symptoms, however some people may have symptoms, such as: headache, nausea, confusion, difficulty walking, dizziness, seizures, and vision changes
  • Your healthcare provider will do magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans before and during your treatment with ADUHELM to check you for ARIA
  • Some people have a genetic risk factor (homozygous apolipoprotein E gene carriers) that may cause an increased risk for ARIA. Talk to your healthcare provider about testing to see if you have this risk factor

Call your healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away if you have any of the symptoms listed above.
