Different insurance means different laws and different savings. For example, Medicare patients cannot use manufacturer copay cards (federal law) — but the manufacturer almost always has a Patient Assistance Program that gives the drug free.
About DICLEGIS and its cost
What is this medication? Diclegis is a prescription medication used to treat nausea and vomiting of pregnancy in women who do not respond to conservative management like dietary and lifestyle changes. It is a combination drug containing doxylamine succinate, an antihistamine, and pyridoxine hydrochloride, which is a form of vitamin B6. Together, these ingredients work to alleviate the symptoms of morning sickness when other non-medical interventions have failed to provide relief.
These tablets are designed with a delayed-release coating, which allows the active ingredients to be absorbed slowly by the body over a longer period. This helps provide more consistent relief throughout the day, though it means the medication is not intended for the immediate relief of acute symptoms. Patients are typically instructed to take the tablets daily as prescribed by their doctor to maintain effectiveness throughout their pregnancy.
DICLEGIS is made by Duchesnay. 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 DICLEGIS?
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 DICLEGIS?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Duchesnay has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover DICLEGIS?
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 Nausea?
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.
