Starting RYSTIGGO

How RYSTIGGO is administered

Once prepared by a healthcare professional, RYSTIGGO is given in about 15 minutes*

 
  • As a subcutaneous infusion, where a needle is inserted under the surface of the skin.†
  • At an infusion center, doctor’s office, or outpatient hospital clinic. At-home infusions with nurse assistance may also be available.‡
  • Followed by an additional 15-minute period for routine monitoring, once the infusion is complete.

Your doctor can provide more information about subcutaneous infusions and what to expect on infusion days.

*There are 3 recommended doses of RYSTIGGO, based on body weight. Preparation and infusion time may vary by patient, dosage, and/or infusion provider or provider location.

†In the lower abdomen below the belly button. Do not receive RYSTIGGO in areas where the skin is tender, bruised, red, or hard, or contains tattoos, scars, or stretch marks. Rotate infusion sites for subsequent administrations.

‡At-home infusions, with nurse assistance, are available based on insurance eligibility determination.

 
Before receiving RYSTIGGO, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you:
  • Have a history of infection or think you have an active infection.
  • Have received or are scheduled to receive a vaccine (immunization).
  • Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant or are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.

*In a long-term study, the minimum length of time between the start of treatment cycles was 9 weeks (63 days). The safety of starting later cycles sooner than 63 days from the start of the previous cycle has not been established.

During your treatment break:

Track

RYSTIGGO works only during a treatment cycle, so it’s important to keep an eye out for any symptoms that may return during your break.

Discuss

Stay in touch with your doctor during both treatment and break, and be sure to mention any side effects or symptoms you experience.

Plan

Your doctor will use the information you provide, along with medical evaluation, to determine if you need additional cycles, and when to start them.

Because everyone responds to RYSTIGGO differently, the length of your break will be specific to your individual treatment needs.

Your doctor may adjust it following any future RYSTIGGO treatments.

Always take RYSTIGGO as prescribed. Even if you begin to feel better, do not skip an infusion or discontinue treatment without speaking to your doctor.
