About Levorphanol Tartrate and its cost
What is this medication? Levorphanol tartrate is a potent synthetic opioid analgesic prescribed for the management of pain severe enough to require an opioid medication and for which alternative treatments are inadequate. It belongs to a class of drugs known as narcotic analgesics and works by changing how the brain and nervous system respond to pain signals. Because it is highly potent, it is typically reserved for patients who have already developed a tolerance to other opioid medications or for whom other pain relief options have failed to provide sufficient relief.
This medication acts as an agonist at specific receptors in the central nervous system, including the mu, kappa, and delta opioid receptors, as well as the NMDA receptor. One of its distinguishing characteristics is its relatively long half-life, which means it stays in the body longer than many other common pain medications. Due to the high risk of addiction, abuse, and misuse, even at recommended doses, it is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance and requires close medical supervision during use.
Levorphanol Tartrate is made by Sentynl. 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 Levorphanol Tartrate?
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 Levorphanol Tartrate?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Sentynl has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Levorphanol Tartrate?
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 Chronic Pain?
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.
