Am I eligible for Proglycem patient assistance?

We review each Proglycem enrollment application individually to determine if you are eligible. Each assistance program has its own eligibility criteria and the factors considered by most programs are:

  • I am a permanent, legal resident of the United States or Puerto Rico

  • I meet certain income eligibility requirements

How do I apply for the Proglycem patient assistance program?

Tell us about any medications that you are taking, including Proglycem, your healthcare provider, your insurance plan, and your household income. This information is required by the pharmaceutical manufacturers who will supply the medication, so it is important to make sure this information is accurate and up to date.

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.

Is NiceRx a Proglycem coupon provider?

NiceRx is not a Proglycem coupon, Proglycem discount card, or Proglycem copay card provider. We do not offer Proglycem manufacturer coupons, Proglycem discounts, rebates, Proglycem savings cards, trial offers, or free Proglycem samples. We are a service provider that helps eligible individuals access their medication directly from the U.S. pharmaceutical company.

What is Proglycem?

Proglycem is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Teva Branded Pharm. Proglycem increases blood sugar by slowing the release of insulin from the pancreas.

Proglycem is used to treat low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) caused by certain cancers or other conditions that can make the pancreas release too much insulin. Proglycem is for use in adults, children, and young infants. Proglycem is not recommended to treat occasional low blood sugar caused by diet.

What doses of Proglycem are available?

Proglycem is available in capsule form, in the following doses: 50 mg.

Proglycem is available in oral suspension form, in the following doses: 50 mg/mL, in a chocolate-mint flavor.

Proglycem is taken every 8 to 12 hours. Take the dose with a dropper that comes with the medication at the same time each day. Proglycem begins to work within 1 hour, its effects can last up to 8 hours. Your blood sugar will need to be checked often, and your urine may also need to be tested for ketones.

Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light. Read the drug information and always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
