About clopidogrel, Clopidogrel and its cost

What is this medication? Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet medication used to prevent blood clots from forming in the body. It works by inhibiting specific cells in the blood called platelets from sticking together and creating a clot. This medication is primarily prescribed to individuals who have a history of heart disease, recent heart attacks, or strokes. By keeping the blood flowing smoothly, it significantly reduces the risk of experiencing another serious cardiovascular event.

In addition to treating general heart conditions, clopidogrel is often used for patients with peripheral artery disease or those who have recently undergone a procedure to place a stent in their heart. It helps ensure that the arteries remain open and that the stent does not become blocked by new clot formation. Patients are typically advised to take this medication consistently to maintain its protective benefits against future health complications.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford clopidogrel, Clopidogrel?

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 clopidogrel, Clopidogrel?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover clopidogrel, Clopidogrel?

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.
