Your monthly Isturisa cost savings if eligible

The Isturisa 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 Istursia, regardless of the retail price.

Am I eligible for the Isturisa patient assistance program?

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

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

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

What is Isturisa?

Isturisa is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication distributed by Recordati Rare Disease, Inc.

Isturisa is a cortisol synthesis inhibitor indicated for the treatment of Cushing’s disease in adult patients for whom pituitary surgery is not an option or has not been curative. Cushing’s disease is a severe, rare endocrine disease. When the excessive adrenocorticotropic hormone is released due to enlargement of the pituitary gland or by a pituitary tumor, the adrenal glands get stimulated to produce a large amount of cortisol, which causes Cushing’s disease.

Isturisa blocks the activity of an enzyme involved in the production of cortisol called 11-beta-hydroxylase. This reduces the amount of cortisol made in the adrenal glands, helping patients with Cushing’s syndrome reach and maintain normal cortisol levels.

What doses of Isturisa are available?

Isturisa is available in tablet form, in the following doses: 1 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg.

Correct hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, and obtain baseline electrocardiogram before starting treatment. Initiate dosage at 2 mg orally twice daily, with or without food. Titrate the dosage by 1 to 2 mg twice daily, no more frequently than every 2 weeks based on the rate of cortisol changes, individual tolerability, and improvement in signs and symptoms. The maximum recommended dosage is 30 mg twice daily. See the full prescribing information for complete titration, laboratory, and dosage modification recommendations.

Always speak with a healthcare professional about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
