About INDOMETHACIN and its cost

What is this medication? Indomethacin is a potent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, commonly referred to as an NSAID. It works by decreasing the hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. Healthcare providers typically prescribe this medication to treat moderate to severe symptoms of various conditions, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. By reducing swelling and joint tenderness, it allows patients to experience improved mobility and a decrease in chronic discomfort.

In addition to treating long-term joint diseases, indomethacin is frequently used for the short-term management of acute pain. This includes conditions such as acute gouty arthritis, where it helps alleviate sudden and intense joint pain. It is also effective for treating inflammation in the shoulder caused by bursitis or tendinitis. Because it is stronger than many over-the-counter anti-inflammatory options, it is used to target specific inflammatory responses that require a prescription-strength intervention.

INDOMETHACIN is made by Assertio. 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 INDOMETHACIN?

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 INDOMETHACIN?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover INDOMETHACIN?

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 Osteoarthritis?

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.
