What is Vyepti?

Vyepti (eptinezumab-jjmr) is an FDA-approved treatment for:

Preventive treatment of migraine in adults

Vyepti works by targeting a protein called CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide), which plays a key role in migraine development. By blocking CGRP, Vyepti helps reduce the number of migraine days patients experience each month.

How Often Do I Need Vyepti Infusions?

Patients typically receive Vyepti once every 3 months.

Each appointment typically takes 1-1.5 hours. The time is broken down approximately as follows:

Check-in & forms: ~10-15 min
Preparation: ~5-10 min
Medication administration: ~30 mins
Post-treatment monitoring: ~15-30 min (if required)

How Do I Prepare for My Vyepti Infusion?

Here’s how you should prepare for your appointment:

Consult Your Healthcare Provider

Medical History Review: Ensure your healthcare provider has a complete and up-to-date medical history, including any allergies, current medications, and past reactions to other medications. Your doctor will have sent these records to Haven Infusion beforehand.
Pre-Appointment Testing: Complete any required blood tests or other pre-appointment tests as recommended by your healthcare provider. For Tepezza, this may also include hearing tests.

Pre-Infusion Medications

Prescription Pre-Medications: You may require pre-medications to reduce the risk of a reaction or adverse event. Your referring provider will include any pre-medications when sending in your prescription order to Haven. Your Haven Infusion clinician will have these ready for you as part of your appointment.
Regular Medications: If you take other medications on a regular basis, be sure to consult with your doctor to see if you need to change how you take them while on Vyepti.

Hydration and Nutrition

Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your infusion to ensure you are well-hydrated. If you are a regular caffeine drinker, go lighter the morning of, since caffeine is dehydrating.
Eat Light: Have a light meal before your infusion to help maintain your energy levels during the procedure.
Prepare for Comfort
Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing with easy access to your arms for the infusion site.
Entertainment: Bring whatever you would like to keep you occupied, such as a book, tablet, or music.

Plan for Transportation

Arrange a Ride: Depending on the medication and your reaction to the infusion, you might not feel well enough to drive yourself home. Consider arranging for someone to drive you or use a ride service.

By following these steps, you can help ensure that your infusion is as safe and comfortable as possible. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare team.

Does Vyepti Have Any Side Effects?

Most patients tolerate Vyepti well. If a patient does have side effects, the most common ones are runny nose, allergic reactions or fatigue.

If you have concerns about side effects, please feel free to discuss them with your doctor before starting treatment. As a specialist in infusion care, Haven Infusion operates with comprehensive and well-established safety protocols, and we are happy to share them with you.

How Much Does Vyepti Cost?

Coverage varies depending on your insurance plan. Our goal is to lower your out-of-pocket costs as much as possible. When your doctor sends us your information, we will verify your benefits and help you find assistance programs that you qualify for.

We always review your expected out-of-pocket costs with you before scheduling your first appointment to ensure full transparency. And, if you have any questions or need help understanding how your insurance works, feel free to ask.
