Experts say Beyfortus, a new injectable monoclonal antibody that protects kids from RSV, will be critical ahead of cold and flu season. Here’s how it works.

Beyfortus, which will be marketed in the U.S. by Sanofi, is already approved in Canada, Europe, and the U.K. Sanofi did not immediately announce the U.S. price of the treatment.

The new shot, which goes by the brand name Beyfortus, slashed infants’ risk of being hospitalized for RSV by 80% in clinical trials. It promised to be a game-changer for the youngest patients.

Beyfortus is supplied as a 50mg/0.5mL and 100mg/mL prefilled syringe. The product is expected to be available for the upcoming 2023-2024 RSV season.

When Beyfortus was approved over the summer, AstraZeneca and Sanofi, the two companies that manufacture the drug, said it would be available for babies in time for RSV season this year.

Beyfortus is not known to interact with other medications, herbs, supplements, foods, or alcohol. The manufacturer of Beyfortus didn’t look at interactions in studies of the drug.
