Always use Helixor® exactly as your doctor has told you.The injection is carried out subcutaneously, if possible near the tumor or metastasis or at different locations on the intact skin.Do not inject into inflamed skin areas or radiation areas.It is recommended not to draw Helixor® in a syringe with other medicines.Opened ampoules must not be saved for later injection.

The usual dose is one subcutaneous injection 2-3 times weekly.Therapy begins with an introductory phase, during which the dose is gradually increased.The optimal dose must be determined individually and depends on various reactions such as subjective well-being, temperature reaction, immunological reaction and local inflammatory reaction at the injection site.

A reduction in dose may be necessary during radiation or chemotherapy.In the maintenance phase, treatment continues at the determined optimal individual dose.To avoid habituation effects, rhythmic use with alternation of doses and breaks is recommended.

The duration of use is determined by the treating doctor and depends on the respective risk of relapse and the individual condition or findings of the patient.It should last for several years, with breaks of increasing length as a rule.

4. What side effects are possible?

A slight increase in body temperature, localized inflammatory reactions around the puncture site of the subcutaneous injection and temporary slight swelling of regional lymph nodes are harmless. If there is a fever over 38°C or larger local reactions over 5 cm in diameter, the next injection should only be given after these symptoms have subsided and at a reduced strength or dose.

Local or general allergic or allergy-like reactions may occur, requiring discontinuation of the preparation and immediate medical attention.Activation of pre-existing inflammation and inflammatory irritation of superficial veins in the injection area are also possible.
