My husband was diagnosed last year with Cardiac Amyloidosis at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville FL. We live in Virginia so when we got to VA we called his other Cardiologists who have been treating him for other issues. In VA this group of Cardiologists have an Amyloidosis Clinic. My husband met the cardiologist in charge of the clinic and he told my husband he needed to start Vyndamax. When we heard the price we jumped from our chairs. But he was very kind in calling the Pfizer representative who visits this doctor and asked him about the Pfizer Copay Card. Pfizer and this physician talked about how this card worked. My husband has never being charge and he guesses that it covers everything that the Insurance does not covers. Ask your cardiologist about this Pfizer Copay Card. It worked for my husband. Strange that your cardiologist didn’t mention it. My husband is doing well and doesn’t have side effects with Vyndamax. This medication doesn’t cure Amyloidosis but slows it down enormously. My husband has Right side Heart Failure, takes Cardizem and a diuretic. He is doing well. Amyloidosis caused his Heart Failure and the damage is there, it is irreversible. I wish you can get information soon. Get well soon.
