About DIANEAL LOW CALCIUM WITH DEXTROSE, DIANEAL PD-2 WITH DEXTROSE and its cost
What is this medication? Dianeal Low Calcium with Dextrose and Dianeal PD-2 with Dextrose are sterile solutions used for peritoneal dialysis in patients with chronic kidney failure. These medications help perform the functions that healthy kidneys normally do by removing toxic waste products and excess water from the body. During the dialysis process, the solution is introduced into the abdominal cavity where it stays for a period of time to filter the blood through the peritoneal membrane before being drained away.
The dextrose in these solutions acts as an osmotic agent to pull extra fluid and waste out of the bloodstream and into the abdominal cavity. The low calcium version is specifically designed for patients who need careful management of their calcium levels to prevent complications like hypercalcemia. These treatments are essential for managing end-stage renal disease and help maintain a proper balance of electrolytes and fluids when the kidneys are no longer functioning effectively on their own.
DIANEAL LOW CALCIUM WITH DEXTROSE, DIANEAL PD-2 WITH DEXTROSE is made by Baxter. 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 DIANEAL LOW CALCIUM WITH DEXTROSE, DIANEAL PD-2 WITH 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 DIANEAL LOW CALCIUM WITH DEXTROSE, DIANEAL PD-2 WITH DEXTROSE?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Baxter has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover DIANEAL LOW CALCIUM WITH DEXTROSE, DIANEAL PD-2 WITH 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 End Stage Renal Disease?
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.
