QUVIVIQ360 Patient Guide: How to Get Quviviq (daridorexant) at Low or No Cost

Quviviq (daridorexant) is a prescription medication used to treat insomnia in adults who have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. The QUVIVIQ360 Patient Support Program from Idorsia Pharmaceuticals helps eligible patients access Quviviq through savings cards and potential assistance for those facing affordability challenges.[1][2][3]

About Quviviq (daridorexant)

Quviviq is an oral tablet taken once nightly, available in 25 mg and 50 mg strengths. It works by targeting orexin receptors in the brain to reduce wakefulness, helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer without the sedative effects of some other sleep aids.[2][4][9] It's approved for adults with insomnia but is a federally controlled substance (Schedule IV) due to potential for abuse or dependence.[4]

Important warnings: Do not take Quviviq if you have narcolepsy or are allergic to it. Tell your doctor if you have depression, suicidal thoughts, drug/alcohol abuse history, sleep apnea, liver problems, or are pregnant/breastfeeding.[2][4][5] Common side effects include headache, sleepiness, and fatigue. Always follow your doctor's instructions.

Who Qualifies for QUVIVIQ360?

Pay $0 for your first 30-day fill and $25 for subsequent 30-day fills at participating pharmacies. Maximum savings limits apply; not for cash-paying patients or combinable with other offers.[1][3][5]

2. Patient Assistance for Uninsured/Underinsured: If you lack insurance or face financial hardship, call 833-248-0021 for help. Requires proof of income and insurance status; your doctor may need to confirm medical necessity. Free or reduced-cost medication may be available.[3][6]

General eligibility: 18+, US or Puerto Rico resident, valid Quviviq prescription. Idorsia manages via ConnectiveRx; terms can change.[1][5]

Income Eligibility Breakdown

Income limits are not publicly specified for the patient assistance component. Qualification depends on demonstrated financial need, reviewed case-by-case. No fixed FPL (Federal Poverty Level) percentage listed.[6] For copay card, income is not a factor—focus is commercial insurance.
