Your monthly Sancuso cost savings if eligible

The Sancuso patient assistance program can provide your medication for free. We simply charge $49 per month for each medication to cover the cost of our services. With NiceRx, you will only pay $49 to obtain your Sancuso, regardless of the retail price.

Am I eligible for the Sancuso patient assistance program?

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

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

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

NiceRx is a service provider that helps eligible individuals access the Sancuso patient assistance program. We do not offer trial offers or free Sancuso samples.

This will likely save you more money than if you were to use Sancuso coupons, discount cards, or Sancuso copay cards.

Can NiceRx help me get Sancuso if I have insurance?

NiceRx may be able to help you if your insurance company will not pay for your Sancuso medication. We may also be able to help if you have a high copay or coinsurance responsibility. Whether you have insurance or not, apply online using our enrollment application to find out more.

What is Sancuso?

The Sancuso patch (granisetron transdermal system) is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. It is a serotonin -3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonist indicated as an antiemetic (prevention of nausea) and vomiting in patients receiving moderately and/or highly emetogenic chemotherapy for up to 5 consecutive days.

What doses of Sancuso are available?

Sancuso is available as a skin patch dosage form, in the following doses: 52 cm2 patch containing 34.3 mg of granisetron delivering 3.1 mg per 24 hours.

Apply a single transdermal patch to the upper arm a minimum of 24 hours before chemotherapy. The patch may be applied up to a maximum of 48 hours before chemotherapy. Remove the patch a minimum of 24 hours after completion of chemotherapy. The patch can be worn for up to 7 days depending on the duration of the chemotherapy regimen.
