About Cysto-Conray II and its cost

What is this medication? Cysto-Conray II is a prescription contrast agent used primarily to help healthcare providers visualize the urinary tract during diagnostic imaging procedures. It contains iothalamate meglumine, which is a radiopaque substance that appears clearly on X-ray images. This medication is specifically indicated for retrograde cystography and cystourethrography, allowing doctors to examine the bladder, ureters, and urethra for structural abnormalities, stones, or other medical conditions.

The medication works by being introduced directly into the urinary system, where its iodine content absorbs X-ray radiation to create a high-contrast image of the internal structures. By highlighting these areas, the medication helps medical professionals identify issues such as urinary reflux, blockages, or injuries. This specific formulation is intended for local administration into the bladder or urethra and is not meant for intravenous injection or use in other parts of the body.

Cysto-Conray II is made by Guerbet. 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 Cysto-Conray II?

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 Cysto-Conray II?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Cysto-Conray II?

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 Vesicoureteral Reflux?

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.
