VYEPTI

Infusion Therapy

Doctors prescribe VYEPTI^® infusion therapy (eptinezumab-jjmr) for many patients living with chronic migraines. VYEPTI infusion therapy is available at Optimum Care Infusion Center.

About VYEPTI® Infusion Therapy

VYEPTI is a brand-name prescription medication with the active ingredient eptinezumab-jjmr. It is formulated to prevent the occurrence of episodic or chronic migraines. VYEPTI infusions are a type of biologic, which is a medication type made from parts of living cells.

Patients with chronic migraines have often tried other medications and treatment options before their physician recommends VYEPTI. Clinical studies of patients using VYEPTI infusions have shown it to be effective after just one treatment in lessening the number of migraines patients experience.

Conditions Treated by VYEPTI® Infusion Therapy

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved VYEPTI infusion therapy to help prevent episodic and chronic migraines. It’s important to note that VYYEPTI does not treat active migraine symptoms — it helps prevent them from happening in the first place. Chronic migraines can often be managed with medication and trigger prevention.

Migraines are severe headaches accompanied by varying symptoms of throbbing pain, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and noise, and more. A protein in the body called calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is believed to play a part in the cause of migraine episodes. VYEPTI infusion therapy works to block CGRP, thus preventing migraines from occurring in the future.

VYEPTI® Cost

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

Many patients with commercial insurance qualify for the VYEPTI CONNECT Copay Assistance Program, which can help cover the VYEPTI cost. For more information on VYEPTI cost and financial resources, you may visit https://www.vyepti.com/financial-assistance.

No patient should go without necessary treatment due to financial limitations. If you have questions about financial assistance opportunities, contact a member of our Optimum Care team.

What to Expect During VYEPTI® Infusion Therapy

VYEPTI is an IV medication administered via IV infusion. It is prescribed by the patient’s physician, usually on a scheduled treatment plan of one injection every three months.

VYEPTI Side Effects

As with any medication, side effects or allergic reactions are always possible. Before your first infusion, the FlexCare team will educate you about VYEPTI infusion therapy and what to expect following your treatment. Because the medication is administered directly into the bloodstream, it starts working as soon as the patient receives their first dose.
