Synagis
® (
palivizumab) is a medication that is available by prescription only and helps prevent serious complications from respiratory syncytial virus (
RSV) in infants and children age 24 months and younger. This medicine works by binding to RSV, preventing the virus from multiplying. It comes as an injection that is given once a month during the RSV season, which is usually from November to April.
To help ensure a safe treatment process, tell your child's healthcare provider about any other existing medical problems (such as a clotting or bleeding disorder), as well as any other medications, vitamins, or supplements your child is taking.
