About Methamphetamine Hydrochloride and its cost
What is this medication? Methamphetamine hydrochloride is a central nervous system stimulant that is primarily prescribed to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADHD. It works by altering the levels of certain natural chemicals in the brain to help increase attention and decrease impulsivity in patients who have not responded sufficiently to other treatments. This medication is usually part of a comprehensive treatment program that includes social, educational, and psychological measures to manage the symptoms of the disorder.
In addition to its use for ADHD, this medication is occasionally prescribed as a short-term supplement to diet and exercise for the treatment of exogenous obesity in patients who have been unable to lose weight through other means. Because it has a high potential for abuse and physical dependence, it is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance and is generally only considered when other therapeutic options have been ineffective. It requires careful medical supervision and is intended for short-term use when utilized for weight management.
Methamphetamine Hydrochloride is made by Recordati. 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 Methamphetamine Hydrochloride?
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 Methamphetamine Hydrochloride?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Recordati has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Methamphetamine Hydrochloride?
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 Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity 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.
