Esbriet may be different from other medicines you’ve taken in the past because it is considered a specialty medicine. This means that the medicine gets delivered to your home by a specialty pharmacy. Before that happens, there are a few steps you should complete.
Our team is here to help you get started and support you every step of the way.
The Esbriet Inspiration Program™ is a free resource designed to help you as you start and continue on your treatment journey.
When you sign up with the Esbriet Inspiration Program, you will have access to one-on-one educational sessions about IPF, treatment with Esbriet, and financial assistance options.*
You will receive encouragement and inspiration for living with IPF from other people taking Esbriet.
Clinical Education Managers are Genentech employees who educate about IPF and Esbriet. The support line is sponsored by Genentech. They do not provide medical advice to patients. If you have questions about your health or treatment, you are encouraged to contact your healthcare provider.
You are not alone. Many people have concerns about treatment costs. It is important you understand your specific health insurance benefits and plan restrictions.

Esbriet might be a little different from other medicines you’ve taken. You won’t pick your prescription up from your local drugstore—instead, a specialty pharmacy delivers Esbriet to your home.
