FOR PRESCRIBERS & CLINICS
Your Specialty Pharmacy Partner for Nuplazid®
At Patriot Pharmacy, we support clinics and prescribers managing complex neurologic and specialty therapies. Our team helps the individuals you serve start and continue prescribed treatment with fewer access barriers.
Nuplazid® (pimavanserin) is the first and only FDA-approved medicine indicated for the treatment of hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson’s disease psychosis. About half of people living with Parkinson’s may experience these symptoms over the course of their disease. When you prescribe Nuplazid, specialty pharmacy coordination can help reduce delays tied to coverage, prior authorization, and ongoing refill support.

Reliable access. Provider-responsive service.
Why providers partner with Patriot for Nuplazid® support:
Critical medication access
– Specialty therapies can be slowed by insurance requirements and distribution complexity. Our team helps coordinate access so patients can start therapy when clinically appropriate.
Efficient prior authorization
– Nuplazid® often requires coverage confirmation and prior authorization. We help navigate payer requirements and keep your office updated through the process.
Care coordination
– We communicate status updates quickly so your team can close gaps in care and keep treatment moving.
Financial navigation support
– When appropriate, we help identify manufacturer support pathways and affordability resources that may apply to eligible patients.
Adherence support

Dedicated professional team
– Work with experienced pharmacists and support staff who understand specialty workflows, complex coverage, and provider communication.
Local, high-touch service

About Nuplazid® (pimavanserin)
Class: atypical antipsychotic
Nuplazid is the first and only FDA-approved prescription medicine specifically indicated for hallucinations and delusions
associated with Parkinson’s disease psychosis.
What Parkinson’s-related hallucinations and delusions can look like:
- Seeing, hearing, or experiencing things others do not
- Believing things that are not true
- Non-motor symptoms that may worsen over time, but are treatable
- Affect up to about half of people living with Parkinson’s over the course of their disease
Why Nuplazid®?
- Designed to help reduce the frequency and/or severity of Parkinson’s-related hallucinations and delusions
- Works differently from many traditional antipsychotics
- Avoids the dopamine-blocking approach used by many older antipsychotics that can worsen motor symptoms
Why specialty pharmacy support helps:
- Specialty/limited-distribution workflows can delay starts
- Insurance authorization is often required
- Coordinated refill support helps patients stay on therapy
- Provider-pharmacy partnership reduces access friction for the care team
Nuplazid has a Boxed Warning regarding increased mortality in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis. Nuplazid is not approved for the treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis unrelated to the hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson’s disease psychosis.
Always direct clinicians to full Prescribing Information, including Boxed Warning, before prescribing decisions.
