About DILTIAZEM HYDROCHLORIDE in SODIUM CHLORIDE and its cost

Diltiazem hydrochloride in sodium chloride is a calcium channel blocker medication typically administered through an intravenous infusion. It is primarily used to treat certain heart rhythm disorders, specifically to control a rapid heart rate in patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. By relaxing the muscles of the heart and blood vessels, it helps the heart beat more regularly and efficiently while reducing the workload on the cardiac system. This specific formulation is often utilized in hospital settings for the rapid management of supraventricular tachycardias. The addition of sodium chloride serves as a carrier solution to deliver the medication safely into the bloodstream at a controlled rate. Because it slows the conduction of electrical signals through the heart, it is essential for stabilizing patients who are experiencing dangerously fast or irregular heartbeats.

DILTIAZEM HYDROCHLORIDE in SODIUM CHLORIDE is made by Hospira. 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 DILTIAZEM HYDROCHLORIDE in SODIUM CHLORIDE?

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 DILTIAZEM HYDROCHLORIDE in SODIUM CHLORIDE?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover DILTIAZEM HYDROCHLORIDE in SODIUM CHLORIDE?

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 Atrial Fibrillation?

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.
