About Gvoke HypoPen 0.5 mg Auto-Injector, Gvoke HypoPen 1 mg Auto-Injector, Gvoke PFS 1 mg Pre-filled Syringe, Gvoke Kit and its cost

What is this medication? Gvoke is a prescription medication used for the emergency treatment of severe low blood sugar, also known as hypoglycemia, in adults and children aged two years and older who have diabetes. It is available in several delivery formats, including the HypoPen auto-injector, a pre-filled syringe, and a kit. This medication is specifically intended for situations where blood sugar levels have dropped so low that the individual is unable to eat or drink sugar products due to confusion, loss of consciousness, or seizures.

The active ingredient in this medication is glucagon, a hormone that triggers the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream. By rapidly increasing blood sugar levels, Gvoke helps stabilize the patient during a life-threatening hypoglycemic event. It is designed to be administered by a caregiver or bystander in an emergency setting. Once the injection is given, it is important to seek medical assistance and provide the person with a fast-acting carbohydrate source once they are conscious and able to swallow.

Gvoke HypoPen 0.5 mg Auto-Injector, Gvoke HypoPen 1 mg Auto-Injector, Gvoke PFS 1 mg Pre-filled Syringe, Gvoke Kit is made by Xeris. 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 Gvoke HypoPen 0.5 mg Auto-Injector, Gvoke HypoPen 1 mg Auto-Injector, Gvoke PFS 1 mg Pre-filled Syringe, Gvoke Kit?

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 Gvoke HypoPen 0.5 mg Auto-Injector, Gvoke HypoPen 1 mg Auto-Injector, Gvoke PFS 1 mg Pre-filled Syringe, Gvoke Kit?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Gvoke HypoPen 0.5 mg Auto-Injector, Gvoke HypoPen 1 mg Auto-Injector, Gvoke PFS 1 mg Pre-filled Syringe, Gvoke Kit?

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 Diabetes?

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.
