AdaptIV Infusion in Sugar Land, TX, administering Leqembi® infusions for early-stage Alzheimer's, providing crucial care for patients with this condition.
SUGAR LAND, Texas, Dec. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- AdaptIV Infusion, a state-of-the-art ambulatory infusion clinic specializing in autoimmune disorders, complex chronic conditions, and health and wellness therapies, is now one of a select few facilities administering Leqembi® (lecanemab-irmb) infusion treatments for patients with early-stage Alzheimer's disease at their newly opened Sugar Land, TX location.
This groundbreaking treatment, developed by Eisai and Biogen, is the first FDA-approved disease-modifying therapy for early-stage Alzheimer's and mild cognitive impairment. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration granted traditional approval on July 6, 2023, recognizing Leqembi as an infused therapy to slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's, an irreversible brain disorder affecting an estimated 6.7 million Americans aged 65 and older, gradually destroys memory and vital mental functions.
AdaptIV Infusion is proud to extend its services to Alzheimer's patients. Shareef Defrawi, CEO of AdaptIV Infusion, emphasizes, "Our mission is to reimagine infusion care with a relentless focus on the patient experience. While Leqembi may not be a cure, it offers individuals in the early stages of Alzheimer's an extended timeline to maintain independence and engage in activities they enjoy."
AdaptIV Infusion's facility in Sugar Land, TX, is conveniently located to serve residents of Sugar Land, Richmond, Rosenberg, Missouri City, Stafford, and the greater Houston area. The ground-floor, freestanding clinic, equipped with private and semi-private treatment areas, a community infusion room, and patient lounges with amenities like fireplaces, snacks, entertainment options, and plenty of free parking, aims to provide an unparalleled patient experience during infusion sessions.
Patients prescribed Leqembi at AdaptIV Infusion will undergo intravenous infusions every two weeks, accompanied by regular MRI scans and physician visits to monitor potential side effects. To access Leqembi infusion treatment at AdaptIV Infusion, patients can follow these steps:
- Ask their healthcare provider to fax a completed Leqembi medication order form, clinical notes, demographics, and insurance card to 832-895-4040.
- Verify enrollment in a CMS-approved Alzheimer's registry.
An AdaptIV Infusion patient care coordinator will confirm receipt of the Leqembi referral and proceed to verify benefits, obtain necessary prior authorizations, and schedule an appointment.
