About ANAFRANIL and its cost

What is this medication? Anafranil, also known by its generic name clomipramine, is a prescription drug that belongs to the class of medications called tricyclic antidepressants. Its primary clinical use is for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder in both adults and children. The medication helps reduce the persistent, intrusive thoughts and the repetitive behaviors that characterize this condition, allowing patients to function more effectively in their daily lives.

The drug functions by increasing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain, such as serotonin, which are necessary for maintaining mental balance. Beyond its use for obsessive-compulsive disorder, doctors may occasionally prescribe it for other mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, or panic disorder. It is important for patients to follow their healthcare provider's instructions carefully, as the dosage is often adjusted slowly to achieve the best results while minimizing side effects.

ANAFRANIL is made by Mallinckrodt. 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 ANAFRANIL?

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 ANAFRANIL?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover ANAFRANIL?

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 Obsessive-Compulsive 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.
