Dosing:
  • Recommended starting dosing:
    • Patients transitioning from Adagen to Revcovi:
      • If a patient’s weekly Adagen dose is unknown, or a patient’s weekly Adagen dose is at or lower than 30 U/kg, the recommended minimum starting dose of Revcovi is 0.2 mg/kg, intramuscularly, once a week.
      • If a patient's weekly Adagen dose is above 30 U/kg, an equivalent weekly Revovi dose (mg/kg) should be calculated using the following conversion formula:
        • Revcovi dose in mg/kg = (Adagen dose in U/kg) / 150
    • Adagen-naive patients:
      • The starting weekly dose of Revcovi is 0.4 mg/kg based on ideal body weight, divided into two doses (0.2 mg/kg twice a week), intramuscularly, for a minimum of 12 to 24 weeks until immune reconstitution is achieved.
