About ETHACRYNATE SODIUM and its cost

What is this medication? Ethacrynate sodium is a potent diuretic medication, often called a water pill, used to reduce excess fluid accumulation in the body. It belongs to a group of drugs known as loop diuretics, which function by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the kidneys. By causing the body to eliminate more salt and water through urine, the medication helps relieve the pressure and swelling caused by fluid buildup in the lungs and other tissues.

This medication is primarily prescribed to treat edema associated with serious medical conditions such as congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and kidney disease. It is often used in hospital settings when a rapid onset of action is required or when patients do not respond adequately to other diuretic treatments. Because it is highly effective at moving fluid, it is typically administered under medical supervision to ensure that electrolyte levels and kidney function remain stable during treatment.

ETHACRYNATE SODIUM is made by Bausch Health. 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 ETHACRYNATE SODIUM?

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 ETHACRYNATE SODIUM?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover ETHACRYNATE SODIUM?

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 Heart Failure?

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.
