About OXYCODONE HYDROCHLORIDE, Oxycodone Hydrochloride and its cost
What is this medication? Oxycodone hydrochloride is a semi-synthetic opioid analgesic used primarily for the management of severe pain that requires an opioid level of treatment. It is categorized as an opioid agonist, which means it works by binding to specific receptors in the central nervous system to decrease the sensation of pain and the emotional response to it. Healthcare providers often prescribe this medication when other pain-relief options, such as non-opioid drugs or non-narcotic therapies, are not effective or cannot be tolerated by the patient.
As a Schedule II controlled substance, oxycodone hydrochloride has a significant potential for misuse, addiction, and dependency. It is crucial to take this medication exactly as prescribed, as improper use can lead to life-threatening respiratory depression or fatal overdose. Because of these serious risks, patients are usually monitored closely during their course of treatment, and the medication is dispensed with specific safety warnings regarding its use alongside other substances like alcohol, benzodiazepines, or other central nervous system depressants.
OXYCODONE HYDROCHLORIDE, Oxycodone Hydrochloride is made by Mallinckrodt. 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 OXYCODONE HYDROCHLORIDE, Oxycodone Hydrochloride?
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 OXYCODONE HYDROCHLORIDE, Oxycodone Hydrochloride?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Mallinckrodt has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover OXYCODONE HYDROCHLORIDE, Oxycodone Hydrochloride?
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 Pain?
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.
