# Palforzia Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get Palforzia (Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) Allergen Powder-dnfp) at Low or No Cost Palforzia Patient Assistance Program, offered by Stallergenes Greer, provides **Palforzia**—an oral immunotherapy powder for desensitizing patients with peanut allergy—at low or no cost to eligible underinsured or uninsured patients based on financial need.[1][2] ## About Palforzia **Palforzia (Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) Allergen Powder-dnfp)** is the first FDA-approved oral immunotherapy for peanut allergy in children ages 4 to 17 (with recent expansions under review for younger ages).[1] It works by gradually exposing patients to increasing doses of peanut protein powder mixed into food, helping build tolerance and reduce reaction risk from accidental exposure. Administered daily under medical supervision, it includes initial dosing, up-dosing phases, and maintenance. Palforzia is used alongside a peanut-avoidant diet and is **not** for treating acute allergic reactions like anaphylaxis—always carry epinephrine.[1][2][3] Available only through a **REMS program** (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy), which ensures safe prescribing, dispensing, and use due to risks like anaphylaxis during dosing.[2] Your doctor must be REMS-certified, and you'll need observed dosing at certified sites initially. ## Who Qualifies?
