About MAGNESIUM SULFATE IN DEXTROSE and its cost
What is this medication? Magnesium sulfate in dextrose is a prescription intravenous solution primarily used to prevent and control seizures in pregnant women who have preeclampsia or eclampsia. This condition, often referred to as toxemia of pregnancy, involves high blood pressure and can be life-threatening for both the mother and the baby if left untreated. The medication works by slowing nerve impulses to the muscles and acting as a central nervous system depressant to reduce the risk of convulsive activity.
In addition to its use in obstetrics, this medication is administered to treat low levels of magnesium in the blood, a condition known as hypomagnesemia. It may also be used to manage acute nephritis in children to help control high blood pressure and prevent seizures. The dextrose component of the solution provides a source of calories and fluids while serving as a carrier for the magnesium sulfate. This treatment is typically administered in a hospital setting under the direct supervision of healthcare professionals who monitor the patient for signs of toxicity.
MAGNESIUM SULFATE IN 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 MAGNESIUM SULFATE IN 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 MAGNESIUM SULFATE IN 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 MAGNESIUM SULFATE IN 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 Eclampsia?
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.
