We will review the information that you have provided to determine whether you are eligible for patient assistance. If we can pre-qualify you for assistance, NiceRx will handle the full enrollment process on your behalf. If you are approved by the pharmaceutical company, you will typically start receiving your medication in 6 – 8 weeks.

What is Ocaliva?

Ocaliva is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by New York-based Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. This use is approved by the FDA under accelerated approval based on a reduction in alkaline phosphatase (ALP).

Ocaliva is a farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist and is used to treat primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in combination with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in adults with an inadequate response to UDCA, or as monotherapy in adults unable to tolerate UDCA.

WARNING:

  • In postmarketing reports, hepatic decompensation and failure, in some cases fatal, have been reported in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) with decompensated cirrhosis or Child-Pugh Class B or C hepatic impairment, when Ocaliva was given more frequently than recommended
  • The recommended starting dosage of Ocaliva is 5 mg once weekly for patients with Child-Pugh Class B or C hepatic impairment or a prior decompensation event

What doses of Ocaliva are available?

Ocaliva is available in tablet form, in the following doses: 5 mg, 10 mg.

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