SPINRAZA is an intrathecal injection, or an injection into the fluid of the spine, by a healthcare professional (HCP) experienced in performing lumbar punctures.

The dosing schedule begins with 4 initial loading doses; the first 3 occur in 14-day intervals and the fourth dose 30 days after the third dose. After these initial doses, SPINRAZA is administered in maintenance doses 3 times a year. Ask your HCP for additional information about the dosing schedule and treatment procedure.

SPINRAZA is delivered directly to the central nervous system.

The SPINRAZA dosing schedule is designed to provide an appropriate level of medication that is maintained between each dose.
