Co-pay Terms and Conditions

By participating in Vifor Pharma, Inc.’s Co-pay Savings Program (“Co-pay Program”) for VELTASSA, the patient acknowledges that, at the time of usage, they meet the eligibility criteria and comply with the following terms and conditions.

The Co-pay Program is for commercially insured patients. Patients with prescription coverage through any type of federal or state government-funded program are not eligible (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, Veterans Administration [VA], Mi Salud).

The patient may pay as low as $0 per month for up to a 12-month period, and afterward renewal is required. Annual maximum limits may apply. The Co-pay Program for VELTASSA is not insurance. Vifor Pharma, Inc. reserves the right to rescind, revoke, or amend this program without notice. The patient must use the Co-pay Program for a valid prescription of VELTASSA, and this cannot be combined with any other coupon, trial, savings card, free drug assistance, or other offer.

Patient must live in the United States (including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). If the patient is enrolled in Veltassa Konnect, patient is required to promptly inform Veltassa Konnect of any change in insurance status during the course of enrollment.

The patient and participating pharmacy are each obligated to inform the insurance plan of any benefit received under the Co-pay Program as required and may not participate if the Co-pay Program conflicts with the plan’s policy. No party may seek reimbursement for any part of the benefit received by patient under the Co-pay Program. The patient is responsible for applicable taxes. Limit one per person; offer is non-transferable and void where prohibited by law or restricted.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Worsening of Gastrointestinal Motility: Avoid use of VELTASSA in patients with severe constipation, bowel obstruction or impaction, including abnormal post-operative bowel motility disorders, because VELTASSA may be ineffective and may worsen gastrointestinal conditions. Patients with a history of bowel obstruction or major gastrointestinal surgery, severe gastrointestinal disorders, or swallowing disorders were not included in clinical studies.

Hypomagnesemia: VELTASSA binds to magnesium in the colon, which can lead to hypomagnesemia. In clinical studies, hypomagnesemia was reported as an adverse reaction in 5.3% of adult patients treated with VELTASSA. Approximately 9% of adult patients in clinical trials developed hypomagnesemia with a serum magnesium value < 1.4 mg/dL. Monitor serum magnesium. Consider magnesium supplementation in patients who develop low serum magnesium levels.

MOST COMMON ADVERSE REACTIONS

The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥  2%) in adult patients treated with VELTASSA were constipation (7.2%), hypomagnesemia (5.3%), diarrhea (4.8%), nausea (2.3%), abdominal discomfort (2.0%) and flatulence (2.0%). Mild to moderate hypersensitivity reactions were reported in 0.3% of patients treated with VELTASSA and included edema of the lips.The safety profile of VELTASSA in a study of 14 pediatric patients ages 12 to 17 years was generally similar to that observed in adult patients.
