About Amphetamine and its cost

What is this medication? Amphetamine is a central nervous system stimulant primarily prescribed to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, commonly known as ADHD. It works by altering the levels of certain natural chemicals in the brain, which helps to improve focus, increase attention span, and control behavioral problems. For individuals with ADHD, this medication can be an important part of a comprehensive treatment plan that often includes psychological, educational, and social measures. In addition to managing ADHD, amphetamines are also used to treat narcolepsy, a sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden attacks of sleep. By promoting wakefulness, the medication helps patients stay alert during the day. Because it has a high potential for misuse and can lead to dependence, it is classified as a controlled substance and should only be taken exactly as directed by a healthcare professional.

Amphetamine is made by Arbor Pharmaceuticals. 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 Amphetamine?

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 Amphetamine?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Amphetamine?

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 Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?

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.
