About CARBOPROST TROMETHAMINE and its cost
What is this medication? Carboprost tromethamine is a prescription medication that acts as a synthetic form of prostaglandin F2 alpha. Its most critical clinical application is the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage, which is a life-threatening condition involving heavy bleeding after childbirth. The drug works by inducing strong, rhythmic contractions of the uterine smooth muscle. These contractions help to compress the blood vessels that supply the placenta, effectively slowing or stopping excessive blood loss when other initial treatments have failed to work.
This medication is also used in the field of reproductive health for the induction of abortion. It is generally prescribed for terminating a pregnancy during the second trimester, specifically between the 13th and 20th weeks of gestation. Additionally, carboprost tromethamine can be used to help the body expel the contents of the uterus in instances where a spontaneous abortion has occurred but is not complete. Because it can cause significant side effects like nausea or high blood pressure, it is administered by healthcare professionals in a hospital or clinical setting.
CARBOPROST TROMETHAMINE 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 CARBOPROST TROMETHAMINE?
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 CARBOPROST TROMETHAMINE?
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 CARBOPROST TROMETHAMINE?
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 Postpartum Hemorrhage?
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.
