Frequently asked questions
How can I get Uplizna if it is not approved or available in my country?
Reserve Meds coordinates US-sourced Uplizna for patients through a physician-led, named-patient cross-border pathway. Your treating physician provides the prescription and clinical justification; Reserve Meds prepares the named-patient documentation for your country and arranges DSCSA-compliant US sourcing and delivery to your physician or hospital pharmacy.
Can I access Uplizna through named-patient or compassionate-use import?
Yes. Named-patient access (also called compassionate use or personal import) is the core route Reserve Meds operates for Uplizna. Eligibility and paperwork depend on the regulator in your country, and Reserve Meds maps the specific pathway for each market it coordinates.
Do I need a prescription to access Uplizna through Reserve Meds?
Yes. Reserve Meds is not a pharmacy and does not prescribe. A valid prescription and clinical justification from your treating physician are required, and all clinical decisions remain with your physician.
