About DUVYZAT and its cost

What is this medication? Duvyzat is a prescription medication specifically approved for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in individuals who are six years of age or older. It is categorized as a histone deacetylase inhibitor, which is a type of drug designed to address the biological pathways that contribute to muscle wasting. By inhibiting these specific enzymes, the medication helps to reduce inflammation and promote muscle fiber regeneration, ultimately aiming to slow the progression of the physical symptoms associated with this genetic disorder.

The medicine is taken as an oral suspension and is often used alongside other treatments to manage the long-term health of patients with the condition. Its mechanism of action focuses on altering the cellular environment within the muscles to favor repair over scarring and degradation. This approach is intended to help patients maintain their physical strength and mobility for a longer duration, regardless of the specific genetic mutation that caused their diagnosis.

DUVYZAT 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 DUVYZAT?

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 DUVYZAT?

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 DUVYZAT?

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 Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy?

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.
