About Opium Tincture Deodorized and its cost
What is this medication? Opium Tincture Deodorized is a highly potent prescription liquid medication that contains various alkaloids derived from opium, with morphine being the primary active ingredient. It is officially classified as an antidiarrheal agent and is generally reserved for treating severe, chronic diarrhea in adults when other standard treatments have failed to provide relief. The medication works by decreasing the motility of the gastrointestinal tract and increasing the muscular tone of the intestines, which slows the passage of stool and allows the body to absorb more water and nutrients. Due to its high concentration of morphine, this medication is a Schedule II controlled substance and carries a significant risk of physical dependence, addiction, and respiratory depression. It is critical for patients and healthcare providers to distinguish this concentrated tincture from camphorated opium tincture, as confusing the two can lead to a dangerous or fatal overdose. In addition to its use for gastrointestinal issues, it is sometimes used in neonatal intensive care units to treat withdrawal symptoms in newborns who were exposed to opioids in the womb. This medication must always be used under close medical supervision and strictly according to the prescribed dosage.
Opium Tincture Deodorized is made by a pharmaceutical manufacturer. 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 Opium Tincture Deodorized?
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 Opium Tincture Deodorized?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But the manufacturer has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Opium Tincture Deodorized?
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 Diarrhea?
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.
