About FLUVASTATIN SODIUM ER and its cost

What is this medication? Fluvastatin sodium ER is an extended-release prescription medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as statins, or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. It is primarily used in conjunction with a heart-healthy diet and regular exercise to lower high levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. By decreasing these fatty substances, the medication helps to increase the levels of HDL cholesterol, which is often referred to as good cholesterol, and slows the progression of atherosclerosis in the arteries.

In addition to managing cholesterol levels, this medication is prescribed to reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes in individuals with coronary heart disease. It works by blocking a specific enzyme in the liver that is responsible for the production of cholesterol. By inhibiting this process, the medication helps maintain clearer blood vessels and prevents the buildup of dangerous plaque that can lead to heart failure or other vascular complications.

FLUVASTATIN SODIUM ER 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 FLUVASTATIN SODIUM ER?

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 FLUVASTATIN SODIUM ER?

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 FLUVASTATIN SODIUM ER?

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 High Cholesterol?

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.
