Home Injections By Healthcare Professionals
Moms prescribed Makena can choose to receive their injections by a healthcare professional in the comfort of their home or another location that’s convenient for them, if covered by their insurance.

- Addressing logistical barriers for patients
- Simplifying scheduling challenges for your office

This support is provided at no cost to the patient and offers educational and adherence support to encourage women to make Makena part of their pregnancy and take an active role in their health.
A level of personalized support you and your patients can expect:
- Calls on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis to support weekly therapy
- Injection reminders via text message
- Educational materials to address topics during pregnancy
- Encouragement so your patients can take an active role in their health
