About BUTALBITAL AND ACETAMINOPHEN and its cost

What is this medication? Butalbital and acetaminophen is a combination medication primarily used for the treatment of tension headaches caused by muscle contractions. This drug contains butalbital, which is a barbiturate that helps relax the body and reduce anxiety, and acetaminophen, which is a non-aspirin pain reliever and fever reducer. By combining these two substances, the medication helps to both ease the physical pain of the headache and soothe the underlying tension that may be contributing to the discomfort. While its main use is for tension headaches, it is sometimes prescribed for migraines or other types of pain as determined by a healthcare professional. Because butalbital can be habit-forming and may lead to rebound headaches if used too frequently, it is usually intended for occasional or short-term use. It is important for patients to discuss their full medical history with their doctor before starting this treatment to avoid potential drug interactions or side effects.

BUTALBITAL AND ACETAMINOPHEN is made by Valeant. 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 BUTALBITAL AND ACETAMINOPHEN?

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 BUTALBITAL AND ACETAMINOPHEN?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover BUTALBITAL AND ACETAMINOPHEN?

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 Tension Headache?

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.
