Velcade
Named-patient access overview. Velcade is coordinated by Reserve Meds for international patients via physician-led cross-border sourcing.
Quick orientation
Velcade (bortezomib) is a first-in-class reversible 26S proteasome inhibitor developed by Millennium Pharmaceuticals, now part of Takeda Oncology. The US Food and Drug Administration first approved Velcade in May 2003 for relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma, with a full approval for frontline multiple myeloma granted in June 2008 and an additional approval for mantle cell lymphoma in patients who have received at least one prior therapy. Velcade is administered as a subcutaneous or intravenous bolus injection at 1.3 mg/m2 on a twice-weekly or weekly schedule, typically given in a hospital outpatient infusion suite or specialty oncology clinic. Reserve Meds coordinates physician-led cross-border sourcing for international patients.

Frequently asked questions
How can I get Velcade if it is not approved or available in my country?
Reserve Meds coordinates US-sourced Velcade for patients through a physician-led, named-patient cross-border pathway. Your treating physician provides the prescription and clinical justification; Reserve Meds prepares the named-patient documentation for your country and arranges DSCSA-compliant US sourcing and delivery to your physician or hospital pharmacy.
Can I access Velcade through named-patient or compassionate-use import?
Yes. Named-patient access (also called compassionate use or personal import) is the core route Reserve Meds operates for Velcade. Eligibility and paperwork depend on the regulator in your country, and Reserve Meds maps the specific pathway for each market it coordinates.
Do I need a prescription to access Velcade through Reserve Meds?
Yes. Reserve Meds is not a pharmacy and does not prescribe. A valid prescription and clinical justification from your treating physician are required, and all clinical decisions remain with your physician.
