What to Expect When Taking Avastin

Avastin is given intravenously, which means it is dripped into your body through a needle inserted into a vein. The first dose of Avastin takes about 90 minutes, and your treatment team will monitor you to make sure you don’t have a bad reaction. After that, it only takes about 30 minutes to an hour to get the other doses of Avastin. Avastin is usually given every 2 weeks.
