What is the Apriso Assistance Program?
Apriso (mesalamine) patient assistance programs help people who have trouble affording the medication. These programs are typically offered through the drug manufacturer and/or through nonprofit foundations that provide copay relief, discounts, or free medicine for eligible patients.
Who runs it and how do I apply?
Apriso assistance options are usually tied to either:
- The manufacturer’s patient support program for Apriso, or
- A third-party nonprofit assistance foundation that contracts with or distributes manufacturer support.
