About Gvoke VialDx and its cost

Gvoke Kit is a prescription medicine used to treat severe hypoglycemia, which is a state of dangerously low blood sugar, in adults and children with diabetes aged two years and older. It contains glucagon, a hormone that works by triggering the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream to rapidly increase sugar levels. This treatment is intended for emergency use when a person with diabetes is unable to ingest sugar orally or has lost consciousness due to their low blood sugar levels. The Kit version of this medication consists of a vial containing a stable liquid form of glucagon along with a sterile syringe for administration. A key feature of this product is that the liquid is already mixed and stable at room temperature, which eliminates the need for the multi-step reconstitution process required by older glucagon emergency kits. It is designed to be administered by a caregiver or a bystander into the muscle of the upper arm, thigh, or buttocks during a severe hypoglycemic event.

Gvoke VialDx is made by Xeris Pharmaceuticals. 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 VialDx?

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 VialDx?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Gvoke VialDx?

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.
