Your monthly Complera cost savings if eligible

The Complera patient assistance program can provide your medication for free. We simply charge $49 a month per medication to cover the cost of our services. With NiceRx, you will only pay $49 to obtain your Complera, regardless of the retail price.

Am I eligible for the Complera patient assistance program?

To find out if you are eligible for Complera assistance you can apply online using our enrollment application. Each pharmaceutical company sets its eligibility criteria, and we will review your application individually to determine if you may be eligible. The three main factors to consider 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 Complera patient assistance program?

Our application process aims to make it as easy as possible to apply for the Complera patient assistance program. The first step is to complete our online enrollment application. We will ask you for details about your healthcare provider, your insurance plan, and your household income as this information is required by the pharmaceutical companies. We may be able to help you apply for other patient assistance programs too, so be sure to tell us about any medications you are taking as well as Complera.

NiceRx will review your application and determine whether you may be eligible for Complera assistance. If so, we will handle the full enrollment process for you and prepare all required documents for your healthcare provider to sign. Once you are successfully enrolled in the Complera patient assistance program, we will help you manage your prescription refills by requesting refills on your behalf throughout your enrollment period. At the end of your enrollment period we will contact you for updated information and seek to re-enroll you so you can continue to access affordable Complera.

Is NiceRx a Complera coupons provider?

NiceRx is a service provider that helps eligible individuals access the Complera patient assistance program. We do not offer trial offers or free Complera samples. When obtaining your medication through NiceRx, you will only pay $49 a month per medication. This will likely save you more money than if you were to use Complera coupons, discount cards, or Complera copay cards.

Can NiceRx help me get Complera if I have insurance?

NiceRx may be able to help you if your insurance company will not pay for your Complera medication. We may also be able to help if you have a high copay or coinsurance responsibility. Whether you have insurance or not, apply online using our enrollment application to find out more.

What is Complera?

Complera contains a combination of emtricitabine, rilpivirine, and tenofovir, antiviral medicines that stop human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from multiplying in your body. HIV is what causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Complera is used to treat:

  • HIV in people who have never taken HIV medicines before who have less than 100,000 copies/mL of HIV-1 RNA.
  • Patients who have less than 50 copies/mL of HIV-1 RNA and have been stable for at least 6 months on the individual medicines in Complera.

Complera is for use in adults and children who weigh at least 35 kg. It should not be taken with other antiviral medications for the treatment of HIV or AIDS and is not a cure for HIV or AIDS.

Complera active ingredients

Emtricitabine is a man-made version of cytidine. It is converted (phosphorylated) by enzymes in your body into a form that is added into the DNA of the virus causing the production of that DNA to stop.

Rilpivirine blocks the action of HIV as well as blocking the production of HIV.

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is hydrolyzed and then phosphorylated by enzymes in the body to form tenofovir diphosphate. Tenofovir diphosphate blocks the action of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase initially and then causing termination of the DNA chain once it is added into the viral DNA chain.

The most common side effects caused by Complera include:

  • Nausea, diarrhea
