About CEFEPIME HYDROCHLORIDE AND DEXTROSE and its cost

What is this medication? Cefepime hydrochloride and dextrose is a prescription antibiotic combination used to treat various severe bacterial infections. As a fourth-generation cephalosporin, cefepime is effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria, including both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. Doctors commonly prescribe this medication for conditions such as moderate to severe pneumonia, complicated urinary tract infections, and infections of the skin or abdominal area. It is also used as a primary treatment for patients with febrile neutropenia, helping to fight potential infections when the immune system is weakened. The dextrose component serves as a carrier solution, allowing the medication to be delivered directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous infusion. By inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, the medication prevents bacteria from growing and eventually kills them. It is strictly intended for bacterial infections and should not be used to treat viral conditions like the flu or a cold. Completing the full course of treatment as directed by a healthcare provider is essential to ensure the infection is fully cleared and to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.

CEFEPIME HYDROCHLORIDE AND DEXTROSE is made by B. Braun Medical Inc.. 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 CEFEPIME HYDROCHLORIDE AND DEXTROSE?

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 CEFEPIME HYDROCHLORIDE AND DEXTROSE?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover CEFEPIME HYDROCHLORIDE AND DEXTROSE?

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 Pneumonia?

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.
