About KYXATA and its cost

What is this medication? Jalyn is a prescription medication used to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, which is more commonly known as an enlarged prostate. This drug is a fixed-dose combination capsule that contains two different active ingredients: tamsulosin hydrochloride and dutasteride. It is specifically indicated for men who have an enlarged prostate and are experiencing bothersome urinary issues, such as a weak urine stream, difficulty starting to urinate, or a frequent and urgent need to go. By combining these two medications, Jalyn helps to manage the condition more comprehensively than using either medication alone. The medication works through two distinct mechanisms to improve urinary flow and reduce the risk of needing surgery related to an enlarged prostate. The tamsulosin component is an alpha-blocker that functions by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and the neck of the bladder, which allows urine to pass more easily. Meanwhile, the dutasteride component is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that works by blocking the production of a hormone responsible for prostate growth. Over several months of treatment, dutasteride helps to actually shrink the size of the prostate gland, providing long-term management of the condition.

KYXATA is made by GlaxoSmithKline. 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 KYXATA?

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 KYXATA?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover KYXATA?

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 Ovarian Cancer?

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.
