TEPEZZA® Price
The cost of prescription medications can vary depending on your insurance coverage. If you're concerned about the price of your medication:
- Contact your insurance provider to understand your coverage
- Ask your doctor or pharmacist about lower-cost alternatives
- Check with the drug manufacturer about financial assistance programs
- Explore patient assistance options if you're uninsured or underinsured
Remember, many resources exist to help patients access necessary medications. Don't hesitate to ask for help if you're struggling with medication costs. No patient should go without necessary treatment due to financial limitations. If you have questions about financial assistance opportunities, contact a member of our Violet Health team.
What to Expect During TEPEZZA Infusion Therapy
As the IV goes in, you may feel a slight pinch. Once the IV is in, all you'll have to do is sit back, relax, and let the medicine do its job. Your infusion nurse may check in on you from time to time to monitor your vital signs like your temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels.
TEPEZZA Side Effects
The most common side effects of TEPEZZA include muscle cramps or spasms, nausea, hair loss, diarrhea, feeling tired, high blood sugar, hearing problems, taste changes, headache, dry skin, weight loss, nail problems, and changes in menstruation.
