Imaavy (nipocalimab-aahu)
Filled with a prescription and delivered free to your door, with help on prior authorization.
Imaavy is a biologic medicine called a neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) blocker. It is a lab-made antibody that blocks FcRn, which lowers the level of IgG antibodies (a type of immune protein) in the blood.
MedRx Infusion can fill Imaavy with a prescription and deliver it free to your door.
What Imaavy is prescribed for
- Generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG): adults and children 12 years and older with generalized myasthenia gravis (an immune disease that causes muscle weakness) who test positive for anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) or anti-muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK) antibodies.
- Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA): adults and children 12 years and older with wAIHA (an immune disease in which the body's own antibodies destroy its red blood cells) who are taking, or have taken, corticosteroids (steroid medicines).
A prescription is required. Your prescriber decides whether Imaavy is right for you.
How Imaavy is given

Before you start
Before the first dose, your prescriber may ask for:
