About This Medication

# Teva Cares Foundation Patient Guide: How to Get Ajovy (fremanezumab-vfrm) at Low or No Cost Ajovy (fremanezumab-vfrm) is a prescription medication used to prevent migraines in adults. The **Teva Cares Foundation** Patient Assistance Program (PAP) provides **Ajovy at no cost** to eligible patients who are uninsured, underinsured, or unable to afford their medication, helping thousands access vital treatments.[2][3] ## About Ajovy **Ajovy** is an injectable CGRP inhibitor that helps reduce the frequency of migraines. Administered monthly or quarterly by subcutaneous injection, it targets the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) pathway involved in migraine attacks. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice on its use, benefits, and potential side effects like injection site reactions.[3] ## Who Qualifies for Teva Cares Foundation?

Current patients re-enrolling after November 1, 2025, follow this guideline.[1][4] - Satisfy **insurance criteria**: Generally for uninsured or underinsured patients unable to afford Ajovy.
