What is benefit of synagis (palivizumab) for baby with tof pre repair surgery?hes 3 months old pink tet no other issues. is it necessary at this point in rsv season
A doctor has provided 1 answer
RSV: Synagis (palivizumab) use highly controlEd by insurance companies due to the expense of about $2000 per month. It must be given every 30 days through out the winter to be effective. Criteria for its use are prematurity with prolonged oxygen use and congenital heart disease. I would recommend you work with your pediatrician and submit an application and see if you can qualify.
