About This Medication

# My Vivjoa Patient Guide: How to Get Vivjoa (oteseconazole) at Low or No Cost Vivjoa (oteseconazole) is the first FDA-approved oral medication specifically for reducing recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC), a chronic yeast infection condition affecting many women. The **My Vivjoa** program, offered by Mycovia Pharmaceuticals, helps eligible patients access this treatment through a **Vivjoa Savings Program** that can lower costs to as little as **$5** for a 12-week course if you have commercial insurance.[1][2][4] ## About Vivjoa and Who It Helps **Vivjoa** treats **recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC)**, defined as three or more yeast infections in the past year. It's a game-changer for women who aren't of reproductive potential—meaning postmenopausal women or those permanently infertile due to surgery or other conditions. Unlike standard yeast infection treatments, one 12-week course can provide relief for nearly a year by significantly reducing recurrences.[3][4][5] The medication comes as oral capsules with two dosing options: - **Vivjoa-only regimen**: Day 1: 600 mg (4 capsules); Day 2: 450 mg (3 capsules); then 150 mg weekly from Week 2-12. - **Fluconazole + Vivjoa regimen**: Fluconazole on Days 1, 4, 7; Vivjoa 150 mg daily Days 14-20; then weekly.[3] Common side effects include **headache (7.4%)** and **nausea (3.6%)**. Always tell your doctor about other medications, especially BCRP substrates like rosuvastatin, and conditions like liver or kidney issues.[1][5][9] ## Who Qualifies for My Vivjoa Savings Program? This isn't a traditional income-based assistance program with strict financial limits. Instead, it's designed for **commercially insured patients**. Key qualifications: - Prescription for Vivjoa from your doctor for RVVC. - **Commercial (private) insurance** coverage—**not government insurance like Medicare or Medicaid**. - Meet your insurer's criteria, often including prior authorization (PA) for RVVC diagnosis (e.g., positive KOH test or culture, 3+ episodes/year, non-reproductive potential).[2][3][8] **Restrictions apply**, and eligibility is determined by Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy after reviewing your insurance.[1][2] ## Income Eligibility Breakdown The My Vivjoa program **does not have published income thresholds** like many patient assistance programs (e.g., 400-500% FPL). It's primarily insurance-driven: | Household Size | Income Limit | Notes | |---------------|--------------|-------| | Individual | Not applicable | Commercial insurance required; no specific income caps listed. [1][4] | | Couple | Not applicable | Focus on insurance eligibility, not household income. [2] | | Family of 3 | Not applicable | May vary by insurer; PA often needed. [3] | | Family of 4+ | Not applicable | Program connects to copay card for savings up to $5/fill. [6] | If uninsured or underinsured, explore manufacturer support via My Vivjoa hub or general PAPs, but specifics aren't detailed publicly.[4] ## Insurance Requirements - **Commercial insurance preferred**: Pay as low as **$5** for 12-week therapy via **Vivjoa Copay Card**.[1][2][6] - **Prior authorization (PA) likely required**: Your doctor attests to RVVC diagnosis, history, and non-reproductive status. Walgreens assists.[2][3] - **Medicare/Medicaid typically ineligible** for copay savings; check alternatives.[7][8] - Pharmacy (Walgreens Specialty) verifies coverage and applies savings automatically.[1] ## Step-by-Step Application Process No separate application form—it's streamlined through your doctor and Walgreens: 1. **Get prescribed**: Ask your doctor if Vivjoa is right for your RVVC. Discuss PA if needed.[2] 2. **Send prescription**: Doctor sends to **any Walgreens pharmacy**—it routes to Specialty Pharmacy instantly.[1][2] 3. **Walgreens calls you**: Expect a call to confirm insurance, benefits, and copay details. Answer promptly for faster processing.[1] 4. **Savings applied**: Eligible patients get **Vivjoa Savings Program/Copay Card**—as low as $5.[1][6] 5. **Receive medication**: Next-day delivery to your door.[1][2] Contact My Vivjoa (powered by vitaCare) for support: Visit vivjoa.com or call 1-855-299-0637.[4][9] ## Timeline and Delivery - **Processing**: Minutes for prescription routing; 1-2 days for insurance verification/call.[1] - **Delivery**: **Next-day shipping** direct to home via Walgreens Specialty.[1][2] - Full 12-week course arrives ready-to-start. Refills handled similarly; reauthorization may apply annually.[2] ## Alternatives if Denied or Ineligible - **Appeal PA**: Work with doctor/Walgreens on insurer appeal.[2] - **Other savings**: Check PrescriberPoint for copay cards or general PAPs.[6] - **No biosimilars** available (none listed).[ ] - **Uninsured options**: My Vivjoa hub may connect to free drug programs; inquire directly.[4] - Clinical alternatives: Fluconazole maintenance (not FDA-approved for RVVC).[3] ## Important Disclaimer This guide is for informational purposes based on publicly available data as of 2024. **Eligibility, coverage, and costs can change**.
