Panzyga, immune globulin intravenous (human)-ifas

Filled with a prescription and delivered free to your door, with help on prior authorization.

Panzyga is an immune globulin medicine made from human plasma (the liquid part of blood). It gives your body IgG antibodies, which are proteins the immune system uses to fight germs. How it works in ITP and CIDP is not fully known.

MedRx Infusion can fill Panzyga with a prescription and deliver it free to your door.

What Panzyga is prescribed for

Primary humoral immunodeficiency (PI): people 2 years and older with PI (a group of conditions, often inherited, in which the body does not make enough working antibodies).
Chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP): adults with chronic ITP (too few platelets, the blood cells that help blood clot), to raise platelet counts to control or prevent bleeding.
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP): adults with CIDP (chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, a nerve condition that causes weakness and numbness in the arms and legs).

A prescription is required. Your prescriber decides whether Panzyga is right for you.

How Panzyga is given

IV infusion, given by a healthcare professional. When your prescriber agrees it can be given at home, we send a skilled nurse from an accredited nursing agency to give it.

Before you start

Before the first dose, your prescriber may ask for:

a blood test to check how well your kidneys work
for people at risk of thick blood (hyperviscosity), a blood test of how thick the blood is
for people at higher risk of hemolysis (breakdown of red blood cells), a blood test of hemoglobin or hematocrit
questions about high blood pressure and blood pressure medicines, and a blood pressure check before the infusion

Important safety information: This medicine has a boxed warning about the risk of blood clots (thrombosis). It also warns about kidney problems, including kidney failure, with immune globulin given by vein.
