If you are exposed to Impavido (miltefosine) during pregnancy, contact your healthcare provider right away; you are also encouraged to enroll in the  Pregnancy Registry by calling 1-866-588-5405

Impavido® Higher Weight Patient Registry:

 

For patients who weigh 99 lbs or more, Impavido is administered at a dose of three (3) of the 50-mg capsules per day for 28 days.

 

 Patients who weigh close to 99 lbs will receive more drug per pound than patients who have higher weights. For example, a patient who weighs 120 pounds will receive 1.25 mg of Impavido per pound each day [150 mg each day / 120 pounds = 1.25 mg per pound each day] whereas a patient who weighs 175 pounds will receive 0.86 mg of Impavido per pound each day [150 mg each day / 175 pounds = 0.86 mg per pound each day]. It is possible that Impavido will be less effective in higher-weight patients who  receive less drug per pound than in lower-weight patients who receive more drug per pound.

 

If you weigh 165 pounds or more while taking Impavido (miltefosine), you are encouraged to enroll in The  Higher Weight Registry by calling 1-866-588-5405
