Axium
Healthcare Pharmacy announced today that it is dispensing Gilead’s
Epclusa (sofosbuvir 400 mg/velpatasvir 100 mg), the first all-oral,
pan-genotypic, single tablet regimen for the treatment of adults with
chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections, genotypes 1-6. Epclusa is
also the first single tablet regimen approved for the treatment of
patients with HCV genotypes 2 and 3, without the need for ribavirin. A
12-week regimen of Epclusa was approved in patients without cirrhosis or
with compensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A), and in combination with
ribavirin (RBV) for patients with decompensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh B
or C). Providers and patients can find full prescribing information at http://www.epclusainfo.com.
“Simpler all-oral dosing, shorter treatment
durations, and high success rates across all hepatitis C
genotypes—through a single medication—have created a promising milestone
in today’s HCV therapy options,” commented Mark Montgomery, President
and CEO of Axium Healthcare Pharmacy. “This is a particularly exciting
development for patients with genotypes 2 and 3 who, until now, have had
fewer, yet more complex treatment options to work with. Through
medications like Epclusa, we are pleased to simplify the path to better
outcomes for patients and providers.”
Axium dispenses and supports Epclusa therapy through its HepVisions® program. With HepVisions, patients and providers get:
- Clinical support for adherence, side effect management, appropriateness of therapy, and drug utilization review.
- Insurance Verification and Prior Authorization. Axium handles insurance verifications within 24 to 48 hours, and works with many third-party prescription plans.
- Copay assistance for qualifying patients.
- 24 x 7x 365 clinical support.
- Convenient, confidential medication delivery.
In addition, providers can save time with
Axium’s #oneteam single source referral program. The program means that
Axium now accepts referrals for all hepatitis C specialty medication
patients, and will perform—and complete—full prior authorization work,
if permitted by health plans, even if it cannot fill the prescription.
