Your monthly Atripla cost savings if eligible

If you are eligible for the Atripla patient assistance program you can get your medication for free. Our monthly flat rate of $49 per medication covers the cost of our services in applying for the program and requesting your ongoing refills on your behalf. If you obtain your Atripla through NiceRx, you will only pay $49 a month regardless of the retail price of your medication.

Am I eligible for the Atripla patient assistance program?

You could receive your Atripla without paying the full retail price if you meet the eligibility criteria for assistance. This criteria is set by the pharmaceutical companies who are providing assistance programs. At NiceRx we review each application individually, although the main factors considered by most programs 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 Atripla patient assistance?

We do everything that we can to take the hassle and stress out of applying for patient assistance programs. Simply start by filling in our enrollment application. We will ask for details about your healthcare provider, your insurance, and your household income. This information is required by the pharmaceutical companies you are applying to for assistance. We may also be able to help you access patient assistance for other medications that you have been prescribed, so be sure to tell us about any medications you are taking as well as Atripla.

NiceRx will review the information you have provided, and if we determine that you may be eligible for assistance, we will seek to enroll you in the Atripla patient assistance program. We will handle the enrollment process for you by working with your healthcare provider and preparing all the required paperwork for your doctor to sign. We will also request your Atripla medication refills on your behalf for up to 1 year once you are enrolled in the program.

Is NiceRx an Atripla coupons provider?

At NiceRx, we help eligible individuals access the Atripla patient assistance program. This means that we are not an Atripla coupon, an Atripla discount card, or an Atripla copay card provider. We do not offer any medication trial offers or free Atripla samples.

Can NiceRx help me get Atripla if I have insurance?

We may be able to help you if you have insurance, including if your insurance company will not pay for your Atripla medication, or you have a high copay or coinsurance responsibility. We may even be able to assist if you do not have insurance. Please fill in our enrollment application to find out more.

What is Atripla?

Atripla contains a combination of prescription medicines, efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir. Atripla is classed as an antiviral medication used for the treatment of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). HIV is the virus that can cause AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). AIDS is a condition that prevents a person’s natural immune system from working normally. This can cause a person to become more vulnerable to life-threatening infections and cancers.

Atripla will not cure HIV or AIDS. It is indicated for use in adults, and children who are 12 years of age or older and weigh at least 88 pounds (40 kilograms). It can be used alone or in combination with other medications.

Atripla active ingredients

Efavirenz blocks the action of an enzyme in your body called reverse transcriptase (RT). RT is normally used by HIV-infected cells to make new viruses. Blocking the action of RT helps to reduce the number of new viruses made.

Emtricitabine is converted in the body by enzymes to form FTC5′-triphosphate, which is then used by the virus to produce DNA. This causes what is known as chain termination and the viral DNA stops being made.

Tenofovir is converted in the body to form tenofovir diphosphate, which also causes chain termination by being included in the viral DNA.

It has been seen in tests that using efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir together produces a greater anti-viral effect than using each of these medications alone.
