About Namzaric and its cost

What is this medication? Namzaric is a prescription medication used to treat moderate to severe dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease. It is a combination drug that contains two active ingredients: donepezil and memantine. This medication is specifically intended for patients who are already taking stable doses of donepezil. While it can help improve cognitive functions such as memory and awareness, it is important to note that Namzaric is not a cure for Alzheimer's disease and does not stop the underlying neurodegeneration.

The two active components in this medication work through different mechanisms in the brain to help manage symptoms. Donepezil is a cholinesterase inhibitor that works by increasing the levels of certain chemicals involved in nerve cell communication. Memantine acts as an NMDA receptor antagonist, which helps regulate the activity of glutamate, a chemical messenger important for learning and memory. By combining these two treatments into a single daily capsule, the medication aims to simplify the treatment regimen while addressing multiple pathways involved in cognitive decline.

Namzaric is made by AbbVie. 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 Namzaric?

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 Namzaric?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Namzaric?

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 Dementia?

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.
