Your monthly Tarpeyo cost savings if eligible

The Tarpeyo 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 Tarpeyo, regardless of the retail price.

Am I eligible for the Tarpeyo patient assistance program?

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

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

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

What is Tarpeyo?

Tarpeyo is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Calliditas Therapeutics AB. Tarpeyo is a corticosteroid used to reduce proteinuria in adults with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) at risk of rapid disease progression, generally a urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≥ 1.5 g/g.

IgA nephropathy is also known as Berger’s disease, a rare kidney disease that occurs when IgA (a type of antibody) deposits build up in the kidneys, causing inflammation that damages kidney tissues. These deposits can cause the kidneys to leak blood and protein into the urine. IgA nephropathy can cause high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease, which may lead to kidney failure.

Approval of Tarpeyo is under accelerated approval based on a decrease in proteinuria. It is not known if Tarpeyo delays kidney function decline in patients with IgAN. Future FDA approval for this indication may depend upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory clinical trial.

What doses of Tarpeyo are available?

Tarpeyo is available as a delayed-release capsule formulation, in the following doses: 4 mg.

The recommended dose for IgA nephropathy is 16 mg once daily, in the morning at least 1 hour before a meal. Swallow the capsules whole. Do not crush, chew, or open the capsules.

Please read the prescribing information for the patient safety information and always speak with your healthcare provider about your medical needs or about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
