Starting Panzyga:
What Actually Happens

If your doctor just prescribed Panzyga, you've probably already seen the price tag and felt a little overwhelmed. Here's what's actually involved - and what changes when a specialty pharmacy handles the details for you.

If your doctor just prescribed Panzyga (immune globulin), you've probably already done a few things: googled the name, seen a price tag with a lot of zeros, and maybe felt a little overwhelmed. That's normal. Here's what's actually involved in starting Panzyga - and what changes when a specialty pharmacy supports you through it.

What Is Panzyga Used For?

Panzyga is an intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) therapy used to treat primary humoral immunodeficiency (PI) in patients 2 and older, chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).

How Panzyga Is Given

Panzyga is given by IV infusion - and notably, it can be administered in a hospital, infusion center, doctor's office, or at home by a trained healthcare provider, which is worth knowing if avoiding facility visits matters to you. Your specific infusion schedule depends on your condition and your care team's plan.

Panzyga is plasma-derived, which is why each batch is tested and released separately.

What Panzyga Actually Costs (And Why the Sticker Price Is Misleading)

Cost depends on your weight-based dose - cash prices are commonly cited starting around $232 per 10mL, with total cost scaling with dose. With commercial insurance and the PANZYGA Co-Pay Program from Pfizer, eligible patients can pay $0 per infusion, with up to $12,500 in annual drug-cost savings, plus a separate Administration Support Co-Pay covering up to $1,500 per year toward infusion administration costs.

The catch is that navigating insurance approval and figuring out where you'll actually receive treatment is exactly the kind of complexity a specialty pharmacy helps manage.

Can I get Panzyga infused at home?

Yes, in some cases - Panzyga can be given by a trained healthcare provider at home, in addition to hospital, clinic, or infusion center settings. Ask your doctor if home infusion is appropriate for you.

How much will I actually pay for Panzyga?

It depends on your insurance - the PANZYGA Co-Pay Program covers both drug cost and, separately, some administration costs for eligible commercially insured patients.
