About Lorazepam and its cost

What is this medication? Lorazepam is a prescription medication categorized as a benzodiazepine, primarily utilized to treat anxiety disorders and provide short-term relief for acute anxiety symptoms. It functions by enhancing the effects of a specific natural chemical in the body called GABA, which helps to calm the central nervous system. Because of its sedative properties, it is also commonly administered in clinical settings to manage prolonged seizures or as a sedative before patients undergo surgery or other medical treatments.

In addition to managing anxiety and seizures, lorazepam is sometimes used to treat sleep disturbances or insomnia related to psychological stress. However, it is generally intended for short-term use because it can lead to physical or psychological dependence if taken over a long period. Patients may experience side effects such as drowsiness, lack of coordination, or lightheadedness, and it is crucial to avoid mixing the drug with other substances that cause sedation unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.

Lorazepam is made by Preferred Pharmaceuticals, Inc.. 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 Lorazepam?

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 Lorazepam?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Lorazepam?

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 Generalized Anxiety Disorder?

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.
