PANTHERx Rare Partners with Upsher-Smith for VIGAFYDE Distribution
PANTHERx Rare is thrilled to announce its selection by Upsher-Smith Laboratories, LLC as the specialist pharmacy responsible for distributing VIGAFYDE™ (vigabatrin), a concentrated oral solution aimed at treating infants diagnosed with infantile spasms. This medication has been approved for use in pediatric patients aged one month to two years, where the advantages of treatment surpass the risks of vision loss.
Understanding Infantile Spasms and Their Impact
Infantile spasms are a rare and serious neurological condition that manifests as clusters of brief seizures accompanied by stiffening of muscles in various parts of the infant's body. This complex disorder commonly presents in infants from three to eight months old, with many experiencing resolution by ages two to four. However, these spasms can often be linked to underlying issues, such as brain injuries or genetic disorders.
Timely diagnosis and intervention are crucial for infants experiencing spasms, as failing to address the condition can lead to serious long-term complications, including developmental delays and an increased risk of conditions like epilepsy, intellectual disabilities, or autism.
PANTHERx Rare's Commitment to Pediatric Patients
Rob Snyder, Executive Chairman of PANTHERx Rare Pharmacy, shared insights about the challenges faced by families whose children are diagnosed with infantile spasms. "Parents of these infants often struggle with numerous concerns regarding their child's health and well-being. At PANTHERx, we have extensive experience in assisting these families to ensure that medications reach them promptly, enabling their infants to transition from hospital care to home quickly and safely," he remarked.
He further emphasized the importance of their collaboration with Upsher-Smith, expressing optimism about the impact it will have on the lives of babies suffering from this condition.
