Access to Medicines

We are committed to helping patients access our medicines. Below are programs we offer, and other programs to help people access the treatments they need.

Patient Assistance Program

(JJPAF) is an independent, private, nonprofit organization that assists patients who do not have financial resources or prescription drug coverage obtain free prescription products that are donated by Johnson & Johnson operating companies. These companies have a long-standing commitment to helping patients to access medicines. Janssen Therapeutics donates medicines to JJPAF.
