Am I eligible for the Nesina patient assistance program?

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

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

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

What is Nesina?

Nesina is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Takeda Pharmaceuticals. Kazano and Oseni are also Type 2 diabetes medications manufactured by Takeda Pharmaceuticals. These medicines help stimulate the pancreas to release more insulin after meals to control blood glucose levels.

Nesina is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor indicated with diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Nesina is not indicated for the treatment of type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

Kazano combines alogliptin with metformin. As well as controlling blood sugar levels by blocking DPP-4, the metformin in Kazano reduces the amount of sugar absorbed into the blood from the intestines, reduces the amount of sugar produced by the liver, and makes the body more sensitive to insulin. Oseni combines alogliptin with Actos (pioglitazone) and also blocks DPP-4, pioglitazone works by increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin.

What doses of Nesina are available?

Nesina is available in tablet form, in the following doses: 25 mg, 12.5 mg, and 6.25 mg.

The recommended dose in patients with normal renal function or mild renal impairment is 25 mg once daily. The tablets can be taken with or without food. The dose should be adjusted if there is moderate or severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Please read the full medication guide and always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice about your medical condition or about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
