About This Medication

# GSK Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get Jalyn (dutasteride / tamsulosin) at Low or No Cost Jalyn (dutasteride / tamsulosin) is a prescription medication used to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate, known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), in men. It combines two drugs—dutasteride, which shrinks the prostate over time, and tamsulosin, which relaxes muscles in the prostate and bladder to improve urine flow. If you're struggling to afford Jalyn due to lack of insurance or high costs, the **GSK Patient Assistance Program** can provide it at no cost if you qualify. This guide explains everything you need to know in simple terms. ## Who Qualifies for the Program? The GSK Patient Assistance Program, run by the independent GSK Patient Access Programs Foundation, helps eligible patients in the US, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico get certain GSK medicines like Jalyn for free. You're likely eligible if: - Your household income meets the program's limits (typically around 400-500% of the Federal Poverty Level, or FPL, though exact thresholds vary and require verification). - You are uninsured, have no prescription coverage for Jalyn, or are a Medicare Part D patient spending significant amounts on meds. - You have a valid prescription from a US-licensed healthcare provider. This program is not health insurance and availability depends on your situation and GSK product guidelines. It's designed for patients facing financial hardship.[1][2][4] ## About Jalyn (dutasteride / tamsulosin) **Jalyn** treats BPH, a common condition in older men where the prostate enlarges, causing urinary problems like weak stream, frequent urination, or difficulty starting. Dutasteride blocks hormones that cause prostate growth, while tamsulosin eases urine flow quickly. Taken as one capsule daily, it reduces BPH symptoms and risk of complications like acute urinary retention. Common side effects include dizziness, runny nose, or reduced ejaculate volume—discuss with your doctor. Always follow your prescription exactly, and note Jalyn is for men only.[1] ## Income Eligibility Breakdown Eligibility hinges on household gross income, verified by documents. While specific thresholds for Jalyn aren't detailed publicly and may align with 400-500% FPL, Medicare Part D examples provide guidance (adjust for current year and non-Medicare cases).
