What is Tarpeyo used for?
Tarpeyo (budesonide) is a corticosteroid in a delayed-release capsule. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:
- To reduce the loss of kidney function in adults with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) who are at risk of their disease getting worse.
Tarpeyo comes as 4 mg delayed-release capsules in bottles of 120. The label's dose is 16 mg (4 capsules) once a day in the morning, at least 1 hour before a meal, for 9 months, lowering to 8 mg a day for the last 2 weeks. The label has no boxed warning. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can raise the amount of Tarpeyo in the blood. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Tarpeyo from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Tarpeyo, compare the TARPEYO Touchpoints copay program if you have private insurance before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027.
