About Air and its cost

What is this medication? Air is a prescription-grade gas mixture primarily composed of oxygen and nitrogen that has been purified to meet strict medical safety standards. It is used in hospitals and clinical settings to provide a controlled and clean source of breathable gas for patients who have compromised respiratory systems or who require specialized breathing assistance. Because it is strictly regulated as a drug, it is prepared to be free from the moisture, oils, and particulate matter typically found in the atmosphere, ensuring it is safe for direct inhalation during medical procedures.

This medication is commonly used as a delivery mechanism for inhaled anesthetics or to assist patients who are on mechanical ventilation in intensive care units. It is also used to power medical equipment like nebulizers, which convert liquid medicines into a mist that can be inhaled to treat lung conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. By providing a stable and contaminant-free gas source, it allows healthcare professionals to manage oxygen levels effectively and safely deliver essential respiratory therapies.

Air is made by SYOXSA, Inc.. 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 Air?

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 Air?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Air?

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 Obesity?

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.
