Your monthly Fosrenol cost savings if eligible

If you are eligible to receive your Fosrenol prescription through the patient assistance program, your medication will be free. We charge a flat monthly price of $49 per medication to cover the cost of our services.

Am I eligible for Fosrenol patient assistance?

To be eligible for the Fosrenol patient assistance program, you will need to meet specific eligibility criteria set by the pharmaceutical company. At NiceRx, we review each Fosrenol 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 Fosrenol patient assistance program?

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

If we determine that you may be eligible for Fosrenol 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 Fosrenol patient assistance program, we will also request your Fosrenol 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 a Fosrenol coupons provider?

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

What is Fosrenol?

Fosrenol contains the prescription medicine lanthanum. Lanthanum stops your body from absorbing phosphate and allows it to be removed from your body. Fosrenol is used to reduce the level of phosphate in patients with kidney disease. High phosphate levels in your body can make it more difficult for you to absorb calcium. This can cause conditions such as osteoporosis (brittle bones).

Fosrenol is used for the treatment of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), where it binds to phosphate. Treatment also includes reducing phosphate in your diet and dialysis to remove phosphate and reduce high phosphate levels in the body.

Fosrenol active ingredients

Fosrenol binds to phosphate forming lanthanum phosphate, which is not soluble in water. This complex passes through the gastrointestinal tract without being absorbed into your body. This causes a reduction in both serum phosphate and calcium phosphate in the body.

Fosrenol should not be used if you have a bowel obstruction or severe constipation. Tell your doctor if you have a stomach ulcer, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, or any type of bowel obstruction, or a history of colon cancer or intestinal surgery.

You should completely chew the chewable tablet before swallowing it. It should be taken with food or straight away after eating. If you also take thyroid replacement medication or antacids, you should take them at least 2 hours before or after taking Fosrenol. Thyroid medication and antacids should not be taken at the same time as lanthanum carbonate.
