About Nisoldipine and its cost

What is this medication? Nisoldipine is a prescription medication classified as a calcium channel blocker, which is primarily used to manage and treat hypertension, or high blood pressure. By effectively lowering blood pressure, it helps to prevent future health complications such as strokes, heart attacks, and kidney issues. The medication works by relaxing the muscles of the blood vessels, allowing them to dilate so that blood can circulate more freely and the heart does not have to work as hard to pump. This medication is generally administered once per day in an extended-release tablet form, and it is often recommended to be taken on an empty stomach. It is important for patients to swallow the tablets whole rather than crushing or chewing them, as this ensures the medication is released into the system at a controlled rate. Users should be aware that grapefruit products can interact with nisoldipine and increase the risk of side effects. Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, or swelling in the feet and ankles.

Nisoldipine is made by Covis Pharma. 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 Nisoldipine?

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 Nisoldipine?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Nisoldipine?

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 Hypertension?

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.
