About Hydrocodone Polistirex and Chlorpheniramine Polistirex extended-release and its cost

Hydrocodone polistirex and chlorpheniramine polistirex is a combination prescription medication used to provide temporary relief from cough and upper respiratory symptoms associated with allergies or the common cold. This specific formulation is an extended-release liquid, meaning the active ingredients are released slowly into the bloodstream over a longer period, typically allowing for dosing every twelve hours. It is indicated for use in adults 18 years of age and older when a non-opioid cough suppressant is not sufficient to manage persistent symptoms. The medication works through two main active components that target different types of discomfort. Hydrocodone is an opioid antitussive that acts directly on the cough center in the brain to decrease the urge to cough. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamines in the body, helping to alleviate symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes. Because it contains an opioid, this medication carries risks for addiction, abuse, and misuse, and it can cause significant drowsiness or slowed breathing, requiring careful supervision by a healthcare provider.

Hydrocodone Polistirex and Chlorpheniramine Polistirex extended-release is made by Lannett. 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 Hydrocodone Polistirex and Chlorpheniramine Polistirex extended-release?

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 Hydrocodone Polistirex and Chlorpheniramine Polistirex extended-release?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Hydrocodone Polistirex and Chlorpheniramine Polistirex extended-release?

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 Allergy?

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.
