About Olmesartan Medoxomil and its cost

What is this medication? Olmesartan medoxomil is a prescription medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. It belongs to a class of drugs called angiotensin II receptor blockers, or ARBs. By effectively managing blood pressure levels, this medication helps reduce the risk of severe cardiovascular complications such as strokes and heart attacks. It is often prescribed either by itself or in combination with other antihypertensive medications to help patients reach their target blood pressure goals.

The medication works by blocking the action of a specific natural substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten. When this substance is blocked, the blood vessels are able to relax and widen, which allows blood to circulate more freely. This process reduces the workload on the heart, making it easier for the organ to pump blood throughout the circulatory system. Maintaining a consistent dosing schedule as advised by a medical professional is important for preventing long-term damage to the heart and kidneys.

Olmesartan Medoxomil is made by Daiichi Sankyo. 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 Olmesartan Medoxomil?

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 Olmesartan Medoxomil?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Olmesartan Medoxomil?

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.
