About KLOR-Con/EF and its cost
What is this medication? Klor-Con/EF is a prescription mineral supplement used to prevent or treat low levels of potassium in the blood, a condition known as hypokalemia. Potassium is an essential electrolyte that plays a vital role in maintaining proper heart rhythm, supporting nerve transmission, and assisting with muscle contractions. This medication is often necessary for individuals who lose potassium due to prolonged illness or as a side effect of taking certain medications, such as diuretics, which increase the amount of minerals excreted by the body.
This medication is provided as an effervescent tablet that must be completely dissolved in water or juice before it is ingested. Consuming the supplement in liquid form helps to minimize potential side effects like stomach upset or irritation in the digestive tract. By restoring healthy potassium levels, Klor-Con/EF ensures that the bodys cells and organs can perform their necessary functions, ultimately supporting overall cardiovascular and muscular health.
KLOR-Con/EF is made by Upsher Smith. 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 KLOR-Con/EF?
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 KLOR-Con/EF?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Upsher Smith has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover KLOR-Con/EF?
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.
