About LEVOPHED(R) NOREPINEPHRINE BITARTRATE and its cost

What is this medication? Levophed, which contains the active ingredient norepinephrine bitartrate, is a medication primarily used to restore and maintain blood pressure in adult patients experiencing acute hypotensive states. This drug belongs to a class of medications known as vasopressors and is typically administered in emergency medical settings or intensive care units through an intravenous infusion. It works by constricting the blood vessels, which in turn increases blood pressure to ensure that vital organs receive an adequate supply of oxygenated blood during life-threatening conditions such as septic shock or other types of circulatory collapse.

In addition to its primary use for severe low blood pressure, Levophed is sometimes utilized as a temporary adjunct treatment during cardiac arrest once a heartbeat has been restored. By stimulating specific receptors in the cardiovascular system, the medication helps to stabilize the patient's hemodynamics during the critical recovery phase. Because of its potent effects on the vascular system and the heart, it is strictly monitored by healthcare professionals who adjust the dosage based on the patient's continuous blood pressure readings and overall clinical response.

LEVOPHED(R) NOREPINEPHRINE BITARTRATE is made by Pfizer. 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 LEVOPHED(R) NOREPINEPHRINE BITARTRATE?

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 LEVOPHED(R) NOREPINEPHRINE BITARTRATE?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover LEVOPHED(R) NOREPINEPHRINE BITARTRATE?

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 Shock?

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.
