Different insurance means different laws and different savings. For example, Medicare patients cannot use manufacturer copay cards (federal law) — but the manufacturer almost always has a Patient Assistance Program that gives the drug free.
About Multrys and its cost
What is this medication? Multrys is a prescription injection that contains a combination of four essential trace elements: zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium. It is specifically designed to be used as an additive for parenteral nutrition, which is the delivery of nutrients directly into the bloodstream. This medication serves to provide the necessary minerals that a body needs to function correctly when a patient cannot receive adequate nutrition through regular eating or tube feeding.
This medication is primarily indicated for use in neonatal and pediatric patients who weigh less than 10 kilograms. By incorporating Multrys into a child's intravenous nutritional solution, healthcare providers can help maintain healthy serum levels of trace elements and prevent nutritional deficiencies. Ensuring these mineral levels are stable is vital for the proper growth, development, and metabolic health of infants and young children during their recovery or long-term care.
Multrys is made by American Regent. 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 Multrys?
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 Multrys?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But American Regent has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Multrys?
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 Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis?
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.
