If your child’s allergy specialist has decided that PALFORZIA is right for your child, it will be available only through Walgreens Specialty Pharmacies.
This specialty pharmacy has been certified to dispense medications like PALFORZIA and is different from your usual neighbourhood pharmacy. After receiving the prescription, the specialty pharmacy ships the medication to the location, selected by your healthcare provider.
Because of the risk of anaphylaxis, PALFORZIA is only available through a restricted program called the PALFORZIA Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) Program. A REMS program is an FDA-required safety program intended to manage the risks that may be associated with prescription medications such as PALFORZIA. This ensures the potential benefits outweigh the risks, such as the risk of anaphylaxis. The goal of the program is to help mitigate the possibility of anaphylaxis associated with PALFORZIA.
Your child’s allergy specialist can tell you more about this program and help you enroll.
Note: If your child’s allergy specialist is not REMS-certified, they can get certified by also visiting PALFORZIAREMS.com.

PALFORZIA can cause severe allergic reactions called anaphylaxis that may be life-threatening and can occur at any time during PALFORZIA therapy.
PALFORZIA is a treatment for people who are allergic to peanuts. PALFORZIA can help reduce the severity of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, that may occur with accidental exposure to peanut. PALFORZIA may be started in patients aged 1 through 17 years old. If you turn 18 years of age while on PALFORZIA treatment you should continue taking PALFORZIA unless otherwise instructed by your doctor. PALFORZIA does NOT treat allergic reactions and should not be given during an allergic reaction, including anaphylaxis. You must maintain a strict peanut-free diet while taking PALFORZIA.
Stop taking PALFORZIA and get emergency medical treatment right away if you have any of the following symptoms after taking PALFORZIA:

You should NOT take PALFORZIA if you have uncontrolled asthma, or if you ever had eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) or other eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease.
