Frequently Asked Questions
What are monoclonal antibodies?
Monoclonal antibodies are lab-created proteins that mimic the ones our bodies produce to fight viruses. The antibodies defend the body by blocking Covid-19 viruses from attaching to human cells.
What is Bebtelovimab?
Bebtelovimab, pronounced: beb-te-LOV-i-mab
Bebtelovimab is a neutralizing antibody drug. When there’s a virus in your body such as COVID-19, your immune system makes antibodies to fight it off. But it takes time for your body to make antibodies for a new virus, and in the meantime, you could get very sick. Bebtelovimab contains man-made antibodies designed to help fight the virus. Bebtelovimab does not contain the COVID-19 virus.
Who is not eligible for this treatment?
Bebtelovimab is NOT authorized for use in people who:
- Are hospitalized due to COVID-19
- Require oxygen therapy and/or respiratory support due to COVID-19
- Require an increase in baseline oxygen flow rate and/or respiratory support due to COVID-19 and are on chronic oxygen therapy and/or respiratory support due to an underlying non-COVID-19 related comorbidity
