Your monthly Venofer cost savings if eligible

The Venofer 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 Venofer, regardless of the retail price.

Am I eligible for the Venofer patient assistance program?

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

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

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

Is NiceRx a Venofer coupons provider?

NiceRx is a service provider that helps eligible individuals access the Venofer patient assistance program. We do not offer trial offers or free Venofer samples. When obtaining your medication through NiceRx, you will only pay $49 a month per medication. This will likely save you more money than if you were to use Venofer coupons, discount cards, or Venofer copay cards.

Can NiceRx help me get Venofer if I have insurance?

NiceRx may be able to help you if your insurance company will not pay for your Venofer 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 Venofer?

Venofer (iron sucrose injection) is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by American Regent, Inc. Venofer provides IV iron therapy for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia (low red blood cell count) in adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Iron is essential to the synthesis of hemoglobin to maintain oxygen transport in the body.

The dosing for iron replacement treatment in pediatric patients with peritoneal-dialysis-dependent CKD, hemodialysis-dependent CKD, or non-dialysis-dependent CKD has not been established.

What doses of Venofer are available?

Venofer is available in injection form, in the following doses: 50 mg/2.5 mL, 100 mg/5 mL, or 200 mg/10 mL (20 mg/mL) in single-dose vials.

Venofer is given as an intravenous iron infusion into a vein. A healthcare provider will give you this injection. The infusion can take up to 2.5 hours to complete.

Always speak with your healthcare professional for medical advice or about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
