About Cleviprex and its cost
What is this medication? Cleviprex is a prescription medication known generically as clevidipine that belongs to the class of drugs called dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers. It is primarily used for the reduction of blood pressure in adults when oral therapy is not feasible or desirable. This medication is administered strictly through an intravenous infusion, often in a hospital or intensive care setting where patients require rapid and precise control of their blood pressure levels.
The medication works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the walls of the blood vessels, which reduces systemic vascular resistance and lowers blood pressure. A key feature of this drug is its rapid onset and offset of action, allowing healthcare providers to titrate the dose quickly to achieve the desired effect. Because it is formulated as a lipid emulsion, it provides a small amount of calories and is typically intended for short-term use during acute hypertensive episodes or surgical procedures.
Cleviprex is made by a pharmaceutical manufacturer. 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 Cleviprex?
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 Cleviprex?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But the manufacturer has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Cleviprex?
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 Hypertensive Crisis?
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.
