Your monthly Miacalcin cost savings if eligible

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

Am I eligible for Miacalcin patient assistance?

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

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

If we determine that you may be eligible for Miacalcin 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 Miacalcin patient assistance program, we will also request your Miacalcin medication refills on your behalf 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 Miacalcin coupon provider?

NiceRx does not provide Miacalcin coupons, discount cards, or copay cards. We do not offer printable Miacalcin manufacturer coupons, Miacalcin discounts, rebates, Miacalcin savings cards, trial offers, or free samples. We are a service provider that helps eligible individuals access patient assistance programs. Our service cost is $49 a month per medication, so you will likely save more on your Miacalcin medication with NiceRx.

What is Miacalcin?

Miacalcin is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Novartis AG. Miacalcin nasal spray is used for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis (after menopause), Paget’s disease of bone, and high calcium levels (hypercalcemia).

Continued treatment with Miacalin should be evaluated on a regular basis due to the possibility of malignancy associated with calcitonin salmon use. Also, Miacalcin nasal spray has not been shown to increase bone mineral density in early postmenopausal women.

What doses of Miacalcin are available?

Miacalcin is available as a nasal spray, in the following doses: 2200 IU per mL. Each actuation delivers 200 International Units.

Use one spray per day, alternating nostrils daily. Allow the bottle to reach room temperature and prime the pump, before first use.

Please read the drug information provided and always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
