About SPEVIGO® Infusion Therapy

SPEVIGO infusion therapy is the first and only FDA-approved medication prescribed to treat generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) flares in adults.

GPP is a rare, chronic skin disease that can cause unpredictable flares. Flares can appear suddenly or slowly and are characterized by red, painful pustules that often cover large parts of the body. A SPEVIGO infusion works to help block a source of inflammation that may cause GPP flares.

SPEVIGO® Infusion Therapy for Generalized Pustular Psoriasis

SPEVIGO infusion therapy works by preventing IL-36R pathways from improper signaling. It’s not fully known how reducing activity in the IL-36R pathway helps treat GPP flares, but research suggests that improper signaling leads to an inflammatory response that causes flares. Symptoms of GPP treated by SPEVIGO infusion therapy include:

Pustules
Dry, scaly skin
Fever
Fatigue
Skin itching and/or burning
Headache
Nausea
Muscle weakness
Rapid heartbeat
Joint pain

SPEVIGO® Cost

The out-of-pocket SPEVIGO cost will vary depending on your insurance coverage. If you have questions about your coverage or SPEVIGO cost, contact your insurance provider.

Patients have access to the BI Solutions Plus program, which is a complimentary patient support that offers logistical coverage and copay support for eligible SPEVIGO infusion therapy patients. For more information on the BI Solutions Plus program, call 833-SPEVIGO (733-8446).

What to Expect During SPEVIGO® Infusion Therapy

If your provider prescribes SPEVIGO infusion therapy, you will receive your SPEVIGO treatment by intravenous (IV) therapy. SPEVIGO is administered to treat GPP flares and is given as a single 900mg dose that lasts approximately 90 minutes.

SPEVIGO Side Effects

Some patients may experience mild SPEVIGO side effects. Some of the most common reactions are fatigue, nausea and vomiting, headaches, itchy bumps, bruising, and urinary tract infections. If you are concerned about potential SPEVIGO infusion therapy side effects, contact your referring provider.
