Sun Pharmaceutical Patient Assistance Program Guide: How to Get Ezallor Sprinkle at Low or No Cost

About This Program

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Inc. offers a patient assistance program to help individuals who cannot afford their medications access free or reduced-cost prescriptions. If you have been prescribed Ezallor Sprinkle (rosuvastatin) and are struggling with the cost, this program may be able to help you obtain your medication at no charge.

What is Ezallor Sprinkle?

Ezallor Sprinkle is a statin medication used to treat elevated cholesterol and triglycerides. It is specifically formulated as sprinkle capsules that can be opened and sprinkled over soft foods like applesauce, making it easier for patients who have difficulty swallowing—a common concern for elderly patients and those in long-term care facilities. The medication works by reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke in adults with high cholesterol.

Your doctor may have prescribed Ezallor Sprinkle to:

• Reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke, or heart-related death)
• Treat high triglycerides
• Treat primary dysbetalipoproteinemia (type III hyperlipoproteinemia)
• Reduce LDL cholesterol in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia

Who Qualifies for Assistance?

While specific income thresholds for the Ezallor Sprinkle program are not publicly detailed in current materials, Sun Pharmaceutical's patient assistance programs typically require:

• U.S. residency or valid work authorization (green card or work visa)
• No prescription drug coverage for the medication, or insufficient coverage
• Financial need based on income level or recent financial hardship
• Valid FDA-approved diagnosis requiring Ezallor Sprinkle
• Ineligibility for certain government programs (specific restrictions may apply)

If you are unsure whether you qualify, contact Sun Pharmaceutical directly—they can review your specific situation.

Income Eligibility

Sun Pharmaceutical's assistance programs generally consider household income when determining eligibility. While exact thresholds for Ezallor Sprinkle are not specified in available materials, similar Sun Pharma programs use income guidelines based on the Federal Poverty Level. Your household size and total monthly income will be evaluated during the application process.

*Exact thresholds should be confirmed directly with Sun Pharmaceutical, as they may vary by program and are subject to change.

Insurance Requirements

The program is designed for patients who:

• Have no prescription drug coverage for Ezallor Sprinkle
• Have insufficient coverage that makes the medication unaffordable
• Cannot access the medication through their current insurance plan

If you have Medicare, Medicaid, or commercial insurance, you may still qualify if your out-of-pocket costs are prohibitively high. Contact the program to discuss your specific insurance situation.
