Will a copay card help with Mayzent cost?

Mayzent oral tablets are an expensive medicine but there may be ways you can save on your treatment. If you have commercial insurance, check with Novartis, the manufacturer of Mayzent, to determine if you may be eligible for their $0 copay card with the Alongside Mayzent Support program. Call 1-877-MAYZENT (1-877-629-9368) for more information.

You are not eligible to use the commercial copay card if you are enrolled in a state or federally funded insurance program (for example: Medicare, Medicare Part D, Medicaid, Veteran Affairs, Tricare, and others) or if you are paying cash.

An online coupon may also help to lower your cost if you are paying cash. Your price will vary based on your location, insurance plan, or pharmacy.

What is Mayzent?

Mayzent (siponimod) is an oral tablet approved by the FDA for relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), including clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), relapsing-remitting disease (RRMS) and active secondary progressive disease, in adults.

Mayzent oral tablet is taken once a day, with or without food, as a maintenance dose after an initial titration period where you will start treatment slowly.

How does Mayzent work in MS?

Mayzent is classified as a sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator. How siponimod exerts therapeutic effects in multiple sclerosis is not fully known, but may involve reduction of lymphocyte (white blood cell) migration into the central nervous system.

Mayzent will not cure MS, but it can help to decrease the frequency of relapse symptoms. Mayzent is used only if you have a specific CYP2C9 genotype. Your doctor will test you for this genetic type of MS.
