Am I eligible for the Mytesi patient assistance program?

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

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

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

Before starting Mytesi, rule out infectious etiologies of diarrhea. The recommended adult dosage is 125 mg taken orally twice a day, with or without food. Do not crush or chew the tablets. Swallow the tablets whole.

Please read the full prescribing information and always speak with your healthcare provider for medical advice about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Mytesi active ingredients

Mytesi contains crofelemer as the active ingredient. Crofelemer is an inhibitor of both the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-stimulated cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride ion (Cl‾) channel and the calcium-activated Cl‾ channels (CaCC) at the luminal membrane of enterocytes.

Crofelemer acts by blocking Cl‾ secretion and accompanying high volume water loss in diarrhea, normalizing the flow of Cl‾ and water in the gastrointestinal tract.
