About Lucemyra and its cost

What is this medication? Lucemyra, also known by its generic name lofexidine, is a prescription medication designed to help mitigate the physical symptoms associated with sudden opioid withdrawal in adults. It is used to manage various distressing effects that occur when a person stops taking opioids, such as muscle aches, sweating, stomach cramps, and sleep disturbances. Because it is a non-opioid treatment, it does not carry the same risk of addiction as the substances being discontinued, making it a helpful tool during the initial detoxification phase.

This drug functions as an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, working to reduce the release of norepinephrine in the nervous system. During opioid withdrawal, the body often produces an excess of this chemical, which leads to many of the physical symptoms of the withdrawal process. Lucemyra is typically used for a short duration, generally up to fourteen days, to help bridge the gap during acute withdrawal. It is not intended to treat opioid use disorder itself but is rather used to make the process of stopping opioids more manageable for the patient.

Lucemyra is made by US WorldMeds. 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 Lucemyra?

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 Lucemyra?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Lucemyra?

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 Opioid Use 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.
