We may also be able to help you access patient assistance for other medications that you have been prescribed, so be sure to tell us about any medications you are taking as well as Atgam.

NiceRx will review the information you have provided, and if we determine that you may be eligible for assistance, we will seek to enroll you in the Atgam patient assistance program. We will handle the enrollment process for you by working with your healthcare provider and preparing all the required paperwork for your doctor to sign. We will also request your Atgam medication refills on your behalf for up to 1 year once you are enrolled in the program.

What is Atgam?

Atgam contains the prescription medicine lymphocyte immune globulin anti-thymocyte (also called equine anti-thymocyte immune globulin). Atgam is classed as an immunosuppressant. It reduces your body’s natural immune system from fighting infections. Your immune system can also fight against transplanted organs, such as a liver or kidney. This is because the immune system sees the new organ as a foreign body. Atgam may be used alone or in combination with other medications.

Lymphocyte immune globulin is used:

• To treat or stop organ rejection after a kidney transplant
• To treat aplastic anemia (a condition in which your bone marrow does not produce enough new blood cells)

Atgam active ingredients

Atgam is made up of antibodies that bind to a wide variety of proteins on the surface of lymphocytes. Atgam also binds to granulocytes, platelets, bone marrow cells, and other cell types. It is thought that Atgam works mainly by reducing the number of lymphocytes moving around your body. Exactly how Atgam works however has not been fully established.

Your doctor may carry out a skin test to make sure you are not allergic to lymphocyte immune globulin. Atgam is injected directly into a vein through an IV. A healthcare professional will give you this injection. How often you are given Atgam will depend on the condition you are being treated for. Atgam is injected slowly and can take at least 4 hours to complete. You may be given other medicines to suppress your immune system while you are being treated with lymphocyte immune globulin. You may also need regular blood tests while receiving this medication.
