MedImmune’s SYNAGIS therapeutic is an FDA-approved prescription injection of antibodies that is given monthly to help protect high-risk infants from severe respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV.

RSV is a common virus that, like the flu, is seasonal and easily spread. Most children will get RSV by the age of two. RSV begins with cold-like symptoms but can spread to the lungs. For babies with certain health conditions, RSV can be very serious.

SYNAGIS is the first monoclonal antibody approved for the prevention of an infectious disease, as well as the first such drug to be safely used in children.
