2 Routine tests to get started
Stethoscope icon

Before you start taking ZEPOSIA, two routine tests are required. If you have a history of certain eye conditions (macular edema or uveitis), or diabetes, you may also need an eye exam. Let your healthcare provider know if you’ve had some of these tests within the last six months—they may not need to be repeated:

Blood work icon

Blood work

Including complete blood count and liver function tests.

ECG icon

An electrocardiogram (ECG)

A common test that uses small sensors to monitor your heart and makes sure it's working normally before you start treatment.

Tell your UC healthcare provider about all the medications you take, have recently taken, and if you’ve had chickenpox or received the chickenpox vaccine. You may be asked to do a blood test for the chickenpox virus. You may need to get the full course of the vaccine, then wait 1 month before taking ZEPOSIA.

  • These tests can be completed at your home, if you're eligible. ZEPOSIA 360 Support can help schedule them
  • Out-of-pocket costs may be eligible for reimbursement. There may be costs associated with some of the routine medical tests, but depending on where these tests take place, eligible, commercially insured patients may qualify for reimbursement. Additional eligibility requirements and terms & conditions apply. Please click here for more information

The ZEPOSIA Prescribing Information does not require ongoing lab monitoring unless indicated by your healthcare provider.
