Am I eligible for the Adempas patient assistance program?

You could receive your Adempas without paying the full retail price if you meet the eligibility criteria for assistance. This criteria is set by the pharmaceutical companies who are providing assistance programs.

• 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 Adempas patient assistance?

We do everything that we can to take the hassle and stress out of applying for patient assistance programs. Simply start by filling in our enrollment application. We will ask for details about your healthcare provider, your insurance, and your household income. This information is required by the pharmaceutical companies you are applying to for assistance. We may also be able to help you access patient assistance for other medications that you have been prescribed, so be sure to tell us about any medications you are taking as well as Adempas.

NiceRx will review the information you have provided, and if we determine that you may be eligible for assistance, we will seek to enroll you in the Adempas patient assistance program. We will handle the enrollment process for you by working with your healthcare provider and preparing all the required paperwork for your doctor to sign. We will also request your Adempas medication refills on your behalf for up to 1 year once you are enrolled in the program.

What is Adempas?

Adempas contains the prescription medicine riociguat, used for the treatment of two types of pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary hypertension is a condition where the pressure in your blood vessels, from the heart to your lungs is too high.

• Chronic-Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) – adempas is used after surgical treatment or if the CTEPH can not be operated on to help improve your ability to exercise and your WHO functional class. (The World Health Organisation (WHO) functional class system defines how severe your symptoms are and how they affect your day-to-day life).
• Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) – adempas is used to treat adults to help improve their WHO functional class, to improve their ability to exercise and to slow clinical worsening.

Desired results were seen when adempas was used alone or in combination with other medicines. Adempas is effective against PAH that has been inherited, that is from an unknown origin, or caused by connective tissue disease.

Adempas active ingredients

Riociguat helps to stimulate and improve the function of an enzyme called soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC). This enzyme is the receptor for nitric oxide (NO) in the cardiopulmonary system in the body. The binding of nitric oxide with the enzyme enhances the production of a chemical called cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). This chemical helps to control various different processes that help to maintain healthy blood vessels in your body.

Pulmonary hypertension is where not enough nitric oxide is made and ultimately not enough cGMP is made. Riociguat works by making sGC more sensitive to the nitric oxide in your body. This leads to more cGMP being made, causing blood vessels to dilate and your blood pressure to reduce.

Adempas side effects

The most common side effects caused by Adempas include:

• Nausea, headaches, dizziness
