Consider XALATAN and XALACOM

When you purposely prescribe the Viatris original brand XALATAN or XALACOM, help your patient get it.

1

Write the Viatris original brand name, XALATAN or XALACOM, and include “no sub,” when appropriate, on your patient’s prescription.

2

Encourage your patients to visit ViatrisOriginals.ca so they can: • Download a payment assistance card to help patients who have no insurance or whose insurance co-payment amount might be a barrier to obtaining the Viatris original brand medication. This card can help patients obtain the Viatris original brand medication at little or no additional cost compared to the generic version.*

3

Remind your patient to ask for the Viatris original brand XALATAN or XALACOM at the pharmacy.

* Subject to change. The Viatris Originals Program is available in all provinces except Quebec. Availability and level of payment assistance vary by brand medication and province.

Some insurers limit full-cost coverage for higher-cost interchangeable drugs to patients who meet certain criteria, and in some instances, documentation from the prescriber is required. There is a possibility that the patient may need to contribute out-of-pocket where those conditions are not met.
