Am I eligible for Auryxia patient assistance?

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

  • I meet certain income eligibility requirements

How do I apply for the Auryxia patient assistance program?

Applying for the Auryxia 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 Auryxia, so please tell us about any medications that you have been prescribed.

If we determine that you may be eligible for Auryxia assistance, we will handle the full enrollment process on your behalf.

What is Auryxia?

Auryxia contains ferric citrate that attaches itself to phosphates you take in through food and drink. Auryxia helps your body to manage the absorption of phosphates and can help lower the amount of phosphorus in your blood.

Auryxia is used to:

  • Manage phosphorus levels in adults with chronic kidney disease, who are on dialysis treatment
  • Treat iron deficiency anemia in adults with chronic kidney disease who are not on dialysis

Auryxia should be taken with meals. The iron it contains is stored in your body so you may need to follow a special diet while taking Auryxia and need frequent blood tests to check your iron blood levels.

Auryxia active ingredients

For the treatment of chronic kidney disease while on dialysis – the iron attaches to phosphate taken into your body through food, in the gastrointestinal tract (GI). This produces an iron phosphate compound that is not soluble and is excreted out of your body in your stools. This helps to reduce the levels of phosphate in your blood.

For the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in chronic kidney disease when NOT on dialysis – the ferric iron is reduced from the ferric form to the ferrous form in the GI tract. The iron is then absorbed into your blood, from where transferrin (a blood-plasma glycoprotein) transports the iron to various tissues, including the bone marrow, where the iron is used for the production of hemoglobin in red blood cells.

Auryxia side effects

The most common side effects caused by Auryxia include:

  • Darker color to your stools
  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Nausea, vomiting, stomach pain
  • Cough

In rare instances, Auryxia can cause more serious side effects. These can include:

  • Severe stomach pain
  • Hyperkalemia – increased potassium levels which can cause, nausea, chest pain, irregular heartbeat, and loss of movement

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

Auryxia drug interactions

  • Medication used to treat acute poisoning – dimercaprol
  • Treatment for HIV/AIDS – dolutegravir
  • Treatments for cancer – erdafitinib
  • Medication used for the treatment of osteoporosis – alendronate, etidronate, ibandronate, risedronate
  • Antibiotics – ciprofloxacin, delafloxacin, grepafloxacin, oxytetracycline
  • Treatment for Parkinson disease – levodopa
  • Medication taken for hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid) – levothyroxine
