How it works

    Get started by filling out the online enrollment application to find out if you are eligible for assistance.

  • Pre-qualification

    NiceRx verifies your eligibility for medication assistance and notifies you if you are pre-qualified. The pharmaceutical company provides your medication for free, and you only pay our service fee.

  • Submit documents

    We will request documents to be submitted by you and your healthcare provider that are required by the pharmaceutical company to complete your enrollment.

  • Receive medication

    Once approved, the pharmaceutical company typically ships a 90-day supply of medication to your home or healthcare provider’s address. Final acceptance is determined by the pharmaceutical company.

  • I meet certain income eligibility requirements

How do I apply for the Ruconest patient assistance program?

We make it as easy as possible to apply for the Ruconest patient assistance program. The first step is to complete our enrollment application. Tell us about any medications you are taking, including Ruconest. We will also ask for details about your healthcare provider, insurance, and your household income. This information is required by the pharmaceutical manufacturers who ship your medication.

If we determine that you may be eligible for Ruconest assistance, we will handle the application process for you. We will work directly with your healthcare provider to prepare your application documents. Once we have received the signed application and supporting documents, we will submit them to the patient assistance program on your behalf. Our service continues once you are enrolled in the Ruconest patient assistance program, and we will automatically request your Ruconest medication refills for up to 1 year.

What is Ruconest?

Ruconest is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Pharming Healthcare, Inc. Ruconest is a C1 esterase inhibitor [recombinant] used for the treatment of acute attacks in adults and adolescent patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE). It is not known if Ruconest is effective for treating HAE attacks that affect your throat.

With HAE, you have low levels of C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH), or you have a faulty version of it. Ruconest replaces the missing or faulty protein in your blood and helps control attacks of HAE.

What doses of Ruconest are available?

Ruconest is available as 2100 IU lyophilized powder for reconstitution for injection in a single-use vial.

Reconstitute each vial (2100 IU) by adding 14 mL sterile water for injection per vial to make a solution of 150 IU per mL. Administer the solution at room temperature as a slow intravenous injection over 5 minutes.

If the symptoms continue, a second dose can be given at the recommended dose level. Do not exceed 4200 IU per dose and no more than two doses should be administered within a 24 hour period. Your dosage will depend on your body weight in kilograms (kg).

Please read the full prescribing information, including the patient product information, and always speak to a healthcare professional about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Ruconest active ingredients

Ruconest contains the active ingredient conestat alfa, a rhC1INH protein replacement therapy.
