  • Submit documents

    We will request documents to be submitted by you and your healthcare provider that are required by the pharmaceutical company to complete your enrollment.

  • Receive medication

    Once approved, the pharmaceutical company typically ships a 90-day supply of medication to your home or healthcare provider’s address. Final acceptance is determined by the pharmaceutical company.

Am I eligible for Activase patient assistance?

To be eligible for the Activase patient assistance program, you will need to meet specific eligibility criteria set by the pharmaceutical company. At NiceRx, we review each Activase enrollment application individually. The main factors considered are:

  • I am a permanent, legal resident of the United States or Puerto Rico
  • I am uninsured or my insurance doesn’t cover my medication
  • I meet certain income eligibility requirements

How do I apply for the Activase patient assistance program?

Applying for the Activase patient assistance program through NiceRx is simple. Begin by completing the enrollment application on our website. We will ask for details about your healthcare provider, your insurance plan, and your household income. This information is required by the pharmaceutical manufacturers that supply your medication. We may be able to help you access patient assistance for other medications as well as Activase, so please tell us about any medications that you have been prescribed.

If we determine that you may be eligible for Activase assistance, we will handle the full enrollment process on your behalf. We will work with your healthcare provider to prepare and submit all the documents required for you to enroll. If you are successfully enrolled in the Activase patient assistance program, we will also request your Activase medication refills for up to 1 year. At the end of your enrollment period, we will contact you for updated details and seek to re-enroll you in the program.

Is NiceRx an Activase coupons provider?

NiceRx does not provide Activase coupons, discount cards or copay cards.

What is Activase?

Activase contains the prescription medicine alteplase. This is an enzyme that dissolves blood clots in arteries in the body. It is used for the treatment of an acute heart attack or pulmonary embolism (a blocked blood vessel in your lungs).

Activase is used to treat:

  • Acute ischemic stroke (blood clot in the brain) – treatment should be started as soon as possible but within 3 hours of onset
  • Acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) to reduce the risk of death and of the incidence of heart failure
  • To dissolve a blocked blood vessel in your lungs (pulmonary embolism)

Activase is given as an infusion directly into a vein, usually within 3 hours of the first sign of stroke or heart attack. You will be monitored closely while using this medicine and your doctor may prescribe medicine to stop you from having blood clots in the future. These types of medicines can make it harder for your blood to clot or for you to bruise more easily. You will need to take extra precautions if you are prescribed blood thinners.

Activase active ingredients

Alteplase is a serine protease enzyme, it is responsible for the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin in the body. It produces limited conversion of plasminogen without fibrin being present. When alteplase is administered into the body’s circulation, it attaches itself to fibrin in the blood clot and converts the plasminogen in the blood clot to plasmin. This starts the breakdown of the fibrin in the blood clot with a limited amount of breakdown of proteins or peptides into amino acids.

Activase side effects

The most common side effects caused by Activase include:

  • Bleeding gums, nose bleeds
  • Bleeding from a wound
  • Heavy menstrual periods or bleeding from the vagina
  • Bloody or tarry stools, coughing up blood or vomiting what looks like coffee grounds
  • Pink or red urine

  • Sudden numb or weak feeling especially down side of your body, slurred speech, problems with vision and balance
  • Chest pain spreading to the jaw or shoulder, nausea, sweating
  • Swelling, rapid weight gain, reduced urination
  • increased blood pressure, blurred vision, anxiety

Your doctor will assess the benefits of using Activase against your risk of side effects.
