About LOSARTAN POTASSIUM AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE and its cost

What is this medication? This medication is a combination of two different drugs, losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazide, used primarily to treat high blood pressure. Losartan belongs to a class of medicines called angiotensin II receptor blockers, which work by relaxing the blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic, often referred to as a water pill, which helps the body get rid of excess salt and water through urine. Together, these components help lower blood pressure more effectively than either drug might on its own. In addition to treating hypertension, this combination therapy is also prescribed to reduce the risk of stroke in patients who have high blood pressure along with a condition called left ventricular hypertrophy, which is a thickening of the heart walls. By maintaining blood pressure at a healthy level, the medication helps prevent serious health complications such as heart attacks and kidney problems. It is typically taken once daily and should be used consistently as directed by a healthcare provider to achieve the best results.

LOSARTAN POTASSIUM AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE is made by Organon. 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 LOSARTAN POTASSIUM AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE?

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 LOSARTAN POTASSIUM AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover LOSARTAN POTASSIUM AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE?

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 Hypertension?

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.
