Patient support from AstraZeneca

At AstraZeneca, patient health is at the center of everything we do, and our commitment to patient care goes beyond discovering and developing medicines. An important part of that commitment is the support we provide to patients and health care professionals through the AstraZeneca Cancer Support Network (AZ CSN). AZ CSN provides important information about AstraZeneca oncology products. For questions or information please call AZ CSN at (1-866-992-9276), Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 8 PM ET.

At AstraZeneca, we know that when it comes to healthcare, it's personal. People have unique, individual needs and sometimes all they need is a little help. That's why for 30 years, AstraZeneca has offered patient assistance programs side by side with our medicines.

Patients who cannot afford their AstraZeneca medications may be eligible for the AZ&Me^™ Prescription Savings Program.
