About ACETAMINOPHEN AND CODEINE and its cost

What is this medication? Acetaminophen and codeine is a combination prescription medication used to manage mild to moderately severe pain. It consists of two primary active ingredients that work in different ways to provide relief. Acetaminophen is a non-opioid pain reliever and fever reducer that works by elevating the overall pain threshold. Codeine is an opioid analgesic that acts on the central nervous system to change how the body perceives and responds to pain. By combining these two substances, the medication can often offer more effective pain management than either component used alone. This medication is typically prescribed when other non-narcotic pain relievers have not provided sufficient relief. Because it contains an opioid, it is usually intended for short-term use and is classified as a controlled substance due to the risk of dependency, misuse, and side effects like drowsiness or respiratory issues. It is commonly used for recovery after certain surgeries, dental procedures, or for acute injury management. Healthcare providers monitor its use carefully to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment plan for the patient.

ACETAMINOPHEN AND CODEINE is made by a pharmaceutical manufacturer. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford ACETAMINOPHEN AND CODEINE?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for ACETAMINOPHEN AND CODEINE?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But the manufacturer has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover ACETAMINOPHEN AND CODEINE?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Pain?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
