Empliciti (elotuzumab) is a monoclonal antibody that blocks a certain protein in the body that can affect tumor cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies are made to target and destroy only certain cells in the body. This may help to protect healthy cells from damage.

Empliciti is used in combination chemotherapy to treat multiple myeloma (bone marrow cancer).

Empliciti is given together with either lenalidomide or pomalidomide, and a steroid medicine called dexamethasone.

Lenalidomide (Revlimid) is available only under a special program. You must be registered in the program and understand the risks and benefits of taking this medicine.

• The use of hydrocodone in children younger than 6 years has led to deadly breathing problems. Talk with the doctor.
