Jinarc® (Tolvaptan)
Tolvaptan (Jinarc®) was added to the High Tech Arrangement on 1 July 2019. A Managed Access Protocol (MAP) is in place for tolvaptan (Jinarc®). This MAP was updated in November 2022 and outlines the criteria that must be satisfied for a patient to be recommended for reimbursement of tolvaptan under the High Tech Arrangement.
The prescribing of tolvaptan under the High Tech Arrangement is confined to consultant nephrologists who have agreed to the terms of the HSE-Managed Access Protocol and have been approved by the HSE-Medicines Management Programme. The clinician must submit an application for individual reimbursement approval for each patient. Applications for individual reimbursement approval will only be considered from approved clinicians.
A copy of the HSE-Managed Access Protocol for tolvaptan (Jinarc®) and the application form for individual reimbursement approval can be found in the Related Files section below.
