Assistance Programs | CAYSTON® (aztreonam for inhalation solution)

Trying to understand the complex world of healthcare reimbursement can be overwhelming. That's why Gilead has created the Cayston Access Program® (CAP).

The Cayston Access Program assists you with information about and access to CAYSTON. It is not required that you fill out the Cayston Access Program enrollment forms to receive CAYSTON—your doctor can prescribe CAYSTON for you without going through the Cayston Access Program. However, the Cayston Access Program can provide you with information that may help make it easier for you to understand reimbursement options for CAYSTON.
