About LIDOCAINE HYDROCHLORIDE AND DEXTROSE and its cost

What is this medication? Lidocaine hydrochloride and dextrose is a prescription medication used primarily as a spinal anesthetic to provide regional loss of sensation for surgical procedures. The lidocaine component acts as a local anesthetic by blocking the nerve signals in the body, while the dextrose is added to increase the density of the solution compared to spinal fluid. This allows healthcare providers to more effectively control the distribution and level of the numbing effect within the spinal canal based on the patient's positioning during and after the injection.

This combination is typically administered by a healthcare professional through an injection into the subarachnoid space of the spine. It is commonly used for procedures involving the lower abdomen, pelvic area, or lower extremities, as well as for certain obstetric surgeries like cesarean sections. By inducing a temporary state of anesthesia in specific regions of the body, it allows patients to undergo surgery without feeling pain while remaining conscious or under light sedation.

LIDOCAINE HYDROCHLORIDE AND DEXTROSE is made by Baxter. 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 LIDOCAINE HYDROCHLORIDE AND DEXTROSE?

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 LIDOCAINE HYDROCHLORIDE AND DEXTROSE?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover LIDOCAINE HYDROCHLORIDE AND DEXTROSE?

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 Ventricular Tachycardia?

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.
