About Azulfidine EN-tabs and its cost

What is this medication? Azulfidine EN-tabs are a prescription medication primarily used to treat and manage ulcerative colitis, which is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes irritation and sores in the lining of the large intestine. By reducing inflammation in the colon, the medication helps to control symptoms such as stomach pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding. It is also used to increase the amount of time between flare-ups of the disease. The EN-tabs version is enteric-coated, meaning the tablets are designed to pass through the stomach and dissolve in the intestines to help minimize stomach upset.

This medication is also prescribed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in patients who have not responded adequately to other therapies like rest, physical therapy, or pain relievers. For those with arthritis, Azulfidine EN-tabs help reduce joint pain, swelling, and stiffness by targeting the inflammatory processes in the body. It belongs to a class of drugs called aminosalicylates and is often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to improve physical function and prevent long-term joint damage.

Azulfidine EN-tabs is made by Pfizer. 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 Azulfidine EN-tabs?

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 Azulfidine EN-tabs?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Azulfidine EN-tabs?

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 Nausea?

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.
