About Exforge and its cost

What is this medication? Exforge is a prescription medication used primarily to treat hypertension, which is more commonly known as high blood pressure. This medication is a combination of two different drugs: amlodipine and valsartan. Amlodipine is classified as a calcium channel blocker, while valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker. By combining these two active ingredients into a single tablet, Exforge helps to lower blood pressure more effectively than using either medication alone in many patients.

The main purpose of lowering blood pressure with this medication is to reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events, including heart attacks and strokes. It works by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow through the body with less resistance. Doctors usually prescribe Exforge when one blood pressure medication has not been sufficient to reach desired health goals or as an initial treatment for patients who require multiple medications to manage their condition. Controlling blood pressure is essential for protecting long-term organ health and overall longevity.

Exforge 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 Exforge?

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 Exforge?

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 Exforge?

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 Hypertension?

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.
