IV Solu-Medrol®
Solu-Medrol is a high dose of corticosteroids given by intravenous (IV) infusion in an inpatient or outpatient setting. This drug is not currently patented, so multiple brands (including generic brands) are available and these do not offer patient-assistance programs. Individuals will need to check with their insurance provider regarding coverage in an inpatient or outpatient setting. Uninsured individuals should check with the facility providing the infusion to see if it offers a financial-assistance program.
*Sometimes it may be decided that pulse steroids or an oral taper of steroids are needed after an initial dose of IV Solu-Medrol.
Intravenous Immunoglobulin Replacement Therapy (IVIG):
IVIG is an experimental relapse treatment given by IV infusion. Individuals with insurance should check with their insurance provider to see if this is covered. Uninsured individuals should check with the facility providing the infusion to see if it offers a financial-assistance program.
Plasmapheresis (Plasma Exchange):
Plasmapheresis or plasma exchange (PE) is an experimental process sometimes used when relapse treatment with steroids has not been effective. Blood is removed from the body, plasma is removed from the blood, and the remaining red and white blood cells are circulated back into the body. This procedure is performed in a medical setting. Individuals will need to check with their insurance provider to see if this is a covered procedure. Uninsured individuals should consult with the facility where they will receive PE to see if the facility offers a financial-assistance program.
