Accessing DIACOMIT

As a caregiver to a child with Dravet syndrome, you have enough to worry about.  Getting your child’s recommended treatment shouldn’t be on the list.  With Biocodex By Your Side, it’s easier than ever to get a prescription filled for DIACOMIT® (stiripentol).  DIACOMIT is available through our specialty pharmacy partner and covered by most insurance plans.

Working With Our Specialty Pharmacy Partner

Biocodex has partnered with a national specialty pharmacy that will handle most of the process and deliver DIACOMIT directly to your door. Our partnership is designed to remove access barriers for you and your child’s doctor. Everyone has a role to play to help ensure that your child gets the treatment they need in as fast as one week.
