About DROSPIRENONE AND ETHINYL ESTRADIOL and its cost
What is this medication? Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol is a combination hormone medication primarily used as a birth control pill to prevent pregnancy. It works by stopping the release of an egg from the ovary during the menstrual cycle and altering the cervical mucus and uterine lining to make it harder for sperm to reach an egg or for a fertilized egg to attach. To ensure maximum effectiveness, the pill must be taken at the same time every day as directed by a healthcare provider.
In addition to pregnancy prevention, this medication is often prescribed to treat moderate acne in women who are at least fourteen years old and have started their menstrual periods. It is also used to help manage the symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder, which includes severe emotional and physical changes before a period begins. It is important to remember that oral contraceptives do not protect against the transmission of HIV or other sexually transmitted infections.
DROSPIRENONE AND ETHINYL ESTRADIOL is made by a pharmaceutical manufacturer. 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 DROSPIRENONE AND ETHINYL ESTRADIOL?
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 DROSPIRENONE AND ETHINYL ESTRADIOL?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But the manufacturer has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover DROSPIRENONE AND ETHINYL ESTRADIOL?
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 Birth Control?
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.
