TEPEZZA has also worked in patients who have had TED for more than 10 years, and in those who previously had surgery.

Infusion reactions can happen during or within 24 hours after your infusion of TEPEZZA. If you have a reaction while receiving TEPEZZA, your doctor or nurse will slow or stop your infusion and treat your reaction. If you have a severe infusion reaction, your doctor may stop your treatment completely.
If you have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, TEPEZZA may make your IBD symptoms worse.

After each TEPEZZA infusion, tell your doctor right away if you have worsening IBD symptoms.
