About Belladonna and Opium and its cost
What is this medication? Belladonna and opium is a prescription combination medication typically provided in the form of rectal suppositories. It is primarily used to treat moderate to severe pain caused by spasms of the urinary tract or other smooth muscles. This medication works through two main components: the belladonna alkaloids act as an antispasmodic to relax muscles, while the opium functions as a narcotic analgesic to manage pain signals sent to the brain.
Healthcare providers often prescribe this treatment for patients recovering from surgical procedures on the bladder or prostate, or for those experiencing acute discomfort from ureteral spasms. Because it contains opium, which is a controlled substance, it must be used strictly according to a doctor's instructions due to the potential for dependence or side effects like drowsiness and constipation. Patients are typically advised to use the medication only when necessary to manage intense cramping and discomfort that does not respond to milder analgesic options.
Belladonna and Opium is made by Padagis. 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 Belladonna and Opium?
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 Belladonna and Opium?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Padagis has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Belladonna and Opium?
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 Kidney Stones?
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.
