About Lentocilin and its cost
What is this medication? Lentocilin is a prescription antibiotic that contains the active ingredient benzathine benzylpenicillin, which belongs to the class of medications known as penicillins. It is primarily used to treat a variety of bacterial infections that are sensitive to penicillin. Because it is a long-acting formulation designed for intramuscular injection, the medication is released slowly into the bloodstream over several weeks, providing a sustained therapeutic effect to eliminate the underlying infection. The most common clinical use for Lentocilin is the treatment of syphilis at various stages, including primary, secondary, and latent syphilis. It is also frequently prescribed as a preventive measure to reduce the risk of recurring rheumatic fever and to treat certain types of streptococcal respiratory tract infections. This medication works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and must be administered by a healthcare professional to ensure proper dosing and safety.
Lentocilin is made by a pharmaceutical manufacturer. 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 Lentocilin?
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 Lentocilin?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But the manufacturer has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Lentocilin?
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 Syphilis?
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.
