How to Take VPRIV
Your VPRIV Infusion
VPRIV is a 60-minute infusion* taken once every other week under the supervision of a healthcare professional. "Infusion" means that it is administered intravenously—directly into the bloodstream. At first, your infusions will take place at an infusion center, which is a site of care that focuses specifically on medicines delivered intravenously. Your OnePath® Patient Support Manager can work with your insurance provider to help you find one nearest to you.
*Though the infusion is scheduled for 60 minutes, post-treatment monitoring may be required after infusion.

If your infusions are well tolerated, you may eventually be able to work with your doctor to arrange for your infusions to be taken at home. Talk to your doctor if this is something that you would want to plan for in your treatment journey. In these cases, a healthcare professional would come to your home to administer the VPRIV infusions for you. If your doctor has determined that home infusions are appropriate for you, don’t forget to discuss all relevant storage and handling instructions that may apply in a home infusion setting. Your OnePath® Patient Support Manager can work with your insurance provider to help you receive your VPRIV infusion.
