Different insurance means different laws and different savings. For example, Medicare patients cannot use manufacturer copay cards (federal law) — but the manufacturer almost always has a Patient Assistance Program that gives the drug free.

About AMPHADASE and its cost

What is this medication? Amphadase is a prescription medication containing hyaluronidase, which is a protein enzyme derived from bovine sources. It is primarily used as an adjuvant, meaning it is administered alongside other substances to enhance their effectiveness. The medication works by temporarily breaking down hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that acts as a barrier between cells. By breaking this barrier, Amphadase increases the permeability of connective tissues, which allows fluids and other injected medications to spread and be absorbed more quickly and easily into the bloodstream or surrounding tissues.

Healthcare providers typically use this medication for three specific medical purposes. It is frequently used to help the body absorb other injected drugs or fluids when they are administered under the skin or into the muscle. Additionally, it is used during a process called hypodermoclysis, which involves the subcutaneous infusion of large volumes of fluids for hydration. Finally, Amphadase is utilized to improve the absorption of radiopaque agents, which are specialized dyes used during medical imaging procedures to help doctors see internal structures more clearly. It is important to note that this medication should not be used to reduce the swelling of bites or stings, nor should it be injected directly into infected or inflamed areas.

AMPHADASE is made by Amphastar. 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 AMPHADASE?

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 AMPHADASE?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover AMPHADASE?

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 Dehydration?

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.
