The company is advising that all appropriate vial patients should be transitioned to Hizentra prefilled syringes (PFS), and new Hizentra patients should be started on PFS. Customers, providers and patients will receive a final Hizentra vial discontinuation notification once all Hizentra vial inventory has been exhausted.
