How Many Doses in an Emgality Starter Pack?

The Emgality (galcanezumab-gnlm) starter pack contains one dose—a single prefilled autoinjector with 120 mg/mL in 1 mL solution, intended for the first monthly loading dose.[1]

Standard Maintenance After Starter

After the starter, patients use monthly maintenance packs, each with one 120 mg dose autoinjector. No multi-dose packs exist; each is single-use.[1][2]

Loading Dose Schedule

Emgality requires three consecutive 120 mg doses (one per week for 3 weeks) to start, followed by 120 mg monthly. The "starter pack" typically refers to the initial single-dose kit, but prescribers order three for full loading.[2][3]

Pen vs. Syringe Options

• Autoinjector pen: 1 dose per pack (most common).
  
• Prefilled syringe: Also 1 dose per pack.
  Both deliver exactly 120 mg; no pack holds more.[1]
  
  

Cost and Availability

A single-dose starter pack costs $500-$700 out-of-pocket without insurance; copay cards reduce it to $0-$25. Available by prescription only via pharmacies or manufacturer distribution.[3]
