About Eletriptan HBR and its cost

What is this medication? Eletriptan HBR, commonly known by the brand name Relpax, is a prescription medication belonging to a class of drugs called triptans. It is specifically used for the acute treatment of migraine headaches in adults, whether or not the migraine is preceded by an aura. The medication works by narrowing blood vessels around the brain and influencing certain natural substances that contribute to the intense pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light or sound associated with migraine attacks.

It is important to note that Eletriptan HBR is not a preventive medication and should not be used to reduce the frequency of migraines or to treat other types of headaches like tension or cluster headaches. It is meant to be taken only after a migraine attack has begun to help alleviate symptoms and allow the user to return to their normal daily activities. This drug is intended for occasional use and should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare provider.

Eletriptan HBR is made by Pfizer. 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 Eletriptan HBR?

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 Eletriptan HBR?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Eletriptan HBR?

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 Acute treatment of migraine with or without aura?

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.
