About Albendazole 200 mg and its cost

What is this medication? Albendazole 200 mg is an anthelmintic medication used to treat a variety of parasitic worm infections. It is primarily prescribed for serious conditions such as neurocysticercosis, which is an infection of the nervous system caused by pork tapeworms, and hydatid disease, an infection of the liver, lungs, and lining of the abdomen caused by dog tapeworms. The medication works by preventing the parasites from absorbing sugar, which eventually causes them to lose energy and die.

In addition to these specific conditions, healthcare providers may use albendazole to treat common intestinal parasites like pinworms, roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. Because the medication is often used to treat systemic infections, it is typically taken with food to improve absorption into the bloodstream. Patients must follow their doctor's instructions closely and complete the entire course of the prescription to ensure the infection is fully cleared from the body.

Albendazole 200 mg 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 Albendazole 200 mg?

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 Albendazole 200 mg?

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 Albendazole 200 mg?

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 Neurocysticercosis?

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.
