About OSCIMIN and its cost

What is this medication? Oscimin is a prescription medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as anticholinergics or antispasmodics. It contains the active ingredient hyoscyamine sulfate, which works by blocking the effects of acetylcholine in the body. This action results in the relaxation of smooth muscles and a reduction in the secretion of fluids from glands. Consequently, the medication is frequently used to treat gastrointestinal problems such as irritable bowel syndrome, stomach cramps, and peptic ulcers by calming the muscles in the digestive tract and decreasing stomach acid production.

In addition to its use for digestive issues, Oscimin is employed to treat several other medical conditions related to involuntary muscle movement and secretions. It can help control bladder spasms and urinary incontinence, and it is often used to reduce saliva and respiratory secretions before surgery. Physicians may also prescribe it to treat certain heart conditions or as an add-on therapy for neurological disorders like Parkinsonism to help reduce tremors and muscle rigidity. It is essential for patients to use this medication exactly as directed by their healthcare provider due to its wide-ranging effects on the body.

OSCIMIN is made by Kramer Novis. 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 OSCIMIN?

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 OSCIMIN?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover OSCIMIN?

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 Cancer?

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.
