How it works

  • Enroll online

    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.

What is Xywav?

Xywav is a prescription medication containing calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium oxybates. Xywav is manufactured by Jazz Pharmaceuticals and has FDA approval (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) as a central nervous system depressant for the treatment of cataplexy or excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in patients 7 years of age and older with narcolepsy, and for idiopathic hypersomnia (a type of sleep disorder) in adults patients.

Xywav is a controlled substance that can only be prescribed through a Risk Evaluation Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program. This means only certain doctors and pharmacies are able to prescribe and dispense this medication.

What doses of Xywav are available?

Xywav is available in oral solution form, in the following doses: 0.5 g/mL total salts (equivalent to 0.413 g/mL of oxybate).

If you currently take Xyrem for narcolepsy, your starting dosage of Xywav will likely match your current dosage of Xyrem. Please see the full prescribing information and medication guide for the complete boxed warning. Always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
