PROVINGE
Were you looking for more information about PROVENGE? PROVINGE is a common misspelling of PROVENGE.
PROVENGE® (sipuleucel-T) is a medication that is available by prescription only and is approved for treating certain cases of prostate cancer. It is given by your healthcare provider using an intravenous (IV) infusion every two weeks, for a total of three doses. This medicine will be individually created using your own immune cells that have been mixed with a certain protein.
To help ensure a safe treatment process, make sure to tell your healthcare provider about any other medical problems you might have (such as liver disease, heart disease, or a history of a stroke), as well as any other medications, vitamins, or supplements you are taking.
