About HYZAAR and its cost

What is this medication? Hyzaar is a prescription medication that combines two different drugs, losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazide, to treat high blood pressure. Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that works by relaxing the blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic, often called a water pill, which helps the kidneys remove extra salt and water from the body. Together, these two components work more effectively than either drug alone to lower a patient's blood pressure levels.

Besides its use for hypertension, this medication is also prescribed to reduce the risk of stroke in patients who have high blood pressure and a heart condition known as left ventricular hypertrophy. By maintaining blood pressure within a healthy range, Hyzaar helps protect the body from serious cardiovascular events, including heart attacks and kidney damage. Patients are generally advised to take this medicine consistently as directed by their healthcare provider to achieve the best results in managing their long-term health.

HYZAAR is made by Organon. 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 HYZAAR?

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 HYZAAR?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover HYZAAR?

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.
