Your monthly Infed cost savings if eligible

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

Am I eligible for the Infed patient assistance program?

To find out if you are eligible for Infed 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 Infed patient assistance program?

Our application process aims to make it as easy as possible to apply for the Infed 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 Infed.

NiceRx will review your application and determine whether you may be eligible for Infed 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 Infed 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 Infed.

Is NiceRx an Infed coupon provider?

NiceRx is a service provider that helps eligible individuals access the Infed patient assistance program. We do not offer trial offers or free Infed 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 Infed coupons, discount cards, or Infed copay cards.

Can NiceRx help me get Infed cheaper if I have insurance?

NiceRx may be able to help you if your insurance company will not pay for your Infed 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 Infed?

Infed is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Allergan. Infed is an iron replacement product, used to treat adult and pediatric patients 4 months of age and older with iron deficiency anemia, or those who have not had a satisfactory response to oral iron therapy. Low iron levels can be caused by poor nutrition, poor absorption, or when there has been long-term blood loss. Iron is needed to carry oxygen around your body in your red blood cells.

What doses of Infed are available?

Infed is available in injection form, in the following doses: 100 mg/2 mL in single-dose vials. The injection contains a complex of ferric hydroxide and dextran for intravenous or intramuscular use.

Your dose will be calculated based on your body weight and hemoglobin levels. Infed is usually injected deep into the buttock muscle or slowly into a vein. Overuse with parenteral iron can lead to the possibility of iatrogenic hemosiderosis. You will require monitoring of your hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum ferritin, and transferrin saturation. Do not use Infed if you have evidence of iron overload.

Always speak with your healthcare provider for medical advice about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Infed side effects

The most common side effects of Infed in clinical trials include:

Your doctor will assess the benefits of using Infed against your risk of adverse effects. Patients are encouraged to report negative side effects or adverse reactions of Infed to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
