Understanding Valeant's Patient Assistance Application
Valeant Pharmaceuticals, a global specialty pharmaceutical company, is committed to ensuring that patients have access to the medications they need. To this end, Valeant offers a Patient Assistance Program (PAP) that provides eligible patients with free or discounted medications. The first step in accessing this program is understanding and applying for the Valeant Patient Assistance Application.
Who is Eligible for Valeant's Patient Assistance Program?
Valeant's PAP is designed to help patients who:
- Are uninsured or underinsured
- Meet certain income guidelines
- Have a valid prescription for a Valeant medication
- Live in the United States or Puerto Rico
It's important to note that patients must meet all of these criteria to be eligible for the program. If you're unsure about your eligibility, you can contact Valeant's PAP team for guidance.

Valeant will send you a renewal notice before your current application expires. You can renew your application online or by mail, using the same process as the initial application.
Remember, it's important to keep your contact information up-to-date with Valeant to ensure you receive all necessary correspondence regarding your PAP application.
