About Arnuity Ellipta and its cost

What is this medication? Arnuity Ellipta is an inhaled corticosteroid medication used for the long-term maintenance treatment of asthma in adults and children aged five years and older. The active ingredient is fluticasone furoate, which works by reducing inflammation and swelling in the airways of the lungs. By decreasing this irritation, the medication helps prevent common asthma symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, coughing, and shortness of breath. It is designed to be inhaled once daily to provide consistent control over respiratory health.

It is important to understand that Arnuity Ellipta is a maintenance treatment and is not intended to treat sudden, acute asthma attacks. Patients must use a separate quick-relief inhaler for the immediate management of symptoms during an unexpected flare-up. Regular use of this medication helps improve overall lung function over time and can reduce the frequency of asthma episodes. Because it is a preventative therapy, it should be used every day as prescribed, even if the user is not currently experiencing symptoms.

Arnuity Ellipta is made by GSK. 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 Arnuity Ellipta?

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 Arnuity Ellipta?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Arnuity Ellipta?

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 Asthma?

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.
