Your monthly Strensiq cost savings if eligible

If you are eligible to receive your Strensiq prescription through the patient assistance program, your medication will be free. We charge a flat monthly price of $49 per medication to cover the cost of our services.

Am I eligible for Strensiq patient assistance?

To be eligible for the Strensiq patient assistance program, you will need to meet specific eligibility criteria set by the pharmaceutical company. At NiceRx, we review each Strensiq enrollment application individually. The main factors considered 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 Strensiq patient assistance program?

Applying for the Strensiq patient assistance program through NiceRx is simple. Begin by completing the enrollment application on our website. We will ask for details about your healthcare provider, your insurance plan, and your household income. This information is required by the pharmaceutical manufacturers that supply your medication. We may be able to help you access patient assistance for other medications as well as Strensiq, so please tell us about any medications that you have been prescribed.

If we determine that you may be eligible for Strensiq assistance, we will handle the full enrollment process on your behalf. We will work with your healthcare provider to prepare and submit all the documents required for you to enroll. If you are successfully enrolled in the Strensiq patient assistance program, we will also request your Strensiq medication refills on your behalf for up to 1 year. At the end of your enrollment period, we will contact you for updated details and seek to re-enroll you in the program.

What is Strensiq?

Strensiq contains the prescription medicine asfotase alfa, an enzyme replacement medication used for the treatment of perinatal/infantile-and juvenile-onset hypophosphatasia (HPP). Hypophosphatasia is a rare genetic disorder where there is a lack of a specific enzyme that normally helps your body process calcium and phosphorus. Lack of this enzyme causes abnormal growth and development of your bones and teeth, including your soft and brittle bones. This leads to growth problems, and tooth loss.

Strensiq active ingredients

Hypophosphatasia is caused by a lack of TNSALP enzyme activity, which leads to an increase in levels of inorganic pyrophosphate. This leads to the bone not forming as it should. The effect of this is seen as softening of bones, rickets, and deformed bones in infants and children. Replacement of the TNSALP enzyme with Strensiq treatment reduces inorganic pyrophosphate levels, helping bone to form as it normally would.

Strensiq is normally given 3 to 6 times per week. Strensiq is injected under the skin. A healthcare professional may show you how to use the medication yourself. You should only prepare an injection when you are ready to use it. You may need to use 2 vials and 2 separate syringes to make up a single dose of this medicine. Use a different place on your body each time you use an injection, and make sure you do not inject into the same place two times in a row. Your Strensiq dose is based on weight (especially in children and teenagers), and your dose may need to change if you gain or lose weight.

Strensiq side effects

The most common side effects caused by Strensiq include:

  • Pain, itching, swelling, redness, bruising, hardening, or other skin changes where the medicine was injected

In rare instances, Strensiq can cause more serious side effects. These can include:

  • Changes in your vision
  • Urinating more or less than normal
  • Difficulty or pain when urinating
  • Red, brown, or pink urine
  • Severe pain in your side or lower back

Your doctor will assess the benefits of using Strensiq against your risk of side effects.
