Help your patients get started on XYWAV in 5 steps
Because of the risks of CNS depression and abuse and misuse, XYWAV is only available through a restricted program under the XYWAV and XYREM Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS).1,a Getting your patient started on XYWAV in a timely manner starts with required enrollment by you and your patient in the XYWAV and XYREM REMS.b The required forms (see below in the “Resources” section) must be submitted to the Certified Pharmacy to complete the enrollment process. The enrollment forms only need to be submitted one time.
To unlock JazzCares® access and affordability programs,c it is recommended that patients enroll in JazzCares by completing the online JazzCares Patient Authorization Form (see below in the “Resources” section).
aBecause of the serious risks associated with XYWAV, the Food and Drug Administration has required a special program called the XYWAV and XYREM REMS. The purpose of the XYWAV and XYREM REMS is to make sure that the benefits of XYWAV outweigh the risks.1,2
bXYWAV is dispensed only by the central pharmacy that is specially certified and will only be dispensed and shipped to patients who are enrolled in the XYWAV and XYREM REMS with documentation of safe use.1
