Really depends upon: The antibody you are receiving and to some extent the reason why you are getting it. You can and should ask the doctor prescribing the antibody for a full disclosure of all potential adverse effects. You can then decide if the potential benefits of monoclonal antibody therapy outweigh the risks. You can also google the antibody name followed by "adverse effects".
