Teva Announces New Patient Access Program with Direct Relief to Provide Access to Inhalers for Uninsured Patients
11 Dicembre 2024 - 2:00PM
Teva Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a U.S. affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical
Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA), announced today the launch
of a new patient access program, in partnership with Direct Relief,
to supply inhalers to eligible patients in the United States free
of charge.
“In the United States, while 93% of Teva’s inhaler medicines are
generic products with access at lower prices – particularly for
insured patients – there still remain uninsured patients who cannot
access affordable generic inhalers,” said Chris Fox, Executive Vice
President, U.S. Commercial at Teva. “The aim of this program is to
help address an unmet need in underserved communities nationwide,
enhancing patient access to safe and affordable medicines delivered
via inhalers, including both maintenance and rescue inhalers.”
Teva will make two inhaler products available through this
program: generic versions of the AirDuo®RespiClick® (fluticasone
propionate/salmeterol xinafoate maintenance inhaler) and ProAir®
HFA (albuterol sulfate rescue inhaler). Teva will donate the
inhalers to Direct Relief for distribution by request to free &
charitable clinics, to then be dispensed to uninsured patients
served by these clinics. "Direct Relief is deeply grateful to Teva
for this critical donation which will connect patients with
respiratory treatments they otherwise would not have access to,"
said Katie Lewis, Regional Director, U.S. Programs for Direct
Relief. "Free and charitable clinics offer quality care for
underserved communities, and this donation will allow them to reach
even more patients with these medications."
The program will continue for a minimum of three years to ensure
reliable and continuous supply to these patients. In addition to
donating the inhalers, Teva will make a cash donation to Direct
Relief to cover the costs of administering this program.
Direct Relief, Teva’s long-time partner on access to medicines
programs in the U.S. and around the world, is a nonprofit
humanitarian organization that provides medical resources to
resource-poor communities. It operates, by its own account, the
largest charitable medicine program in the United States. Through
its network, Direct Relief supports the dispensing of high-quality,
no-cost medicines to low-income, uninsured patients at the point of
care, thereby facilitating patient access to necessary
medicines.
