Home Infusion and Specialty Pharmacy in the District of Columbia

• Rare disease medications. Medications for rare conditions, such as Soliris (eculizumab) for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), and Tepezza (teprotumumab-trbw) for thyroid eye disease.
• Parenteral nutrition (TPN). Total parenteral nutrition for patients who cannot absorb enough nutrition through the digestive tract.
• Subcutaneous immune globulin (SCIG). Immune globulin given under the skin with a small pump, such as Xembify and Hizentra. A nurse trains the patient or a caregiver to give it at home.
• IV antibiotics at home. Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) for serious infections such as osteomyelitis and cellulitis, with care of the PICC line, so IV treatment continues at home rather than in the hospital.
