About PEG-3350, SODIUM SULFATE, SODIUM CHLORIDE, POTASSIUM CHLORIDE, SODIUM ASCORBATE AND ASCORBIC ACID and its cost

What is this medication? This combination of polyethylene glycol 3350, electrolytes, and vitamin C components is a prescription medication primarily used to cleanse the colon in preparation for a colonoscopy. It belongs to a class of drugs known as osmotic laxatives, which work by drawing large amounts of water into the colon. This process triggers frequent, watery bowel movements that help clear out the digestive tract, ensuring that the physician has a clear view of the intestinal walls during the medical procedure.

The medication is typically supplied as a powder that must be mixed with water before consumption. In addition to the stool-softening agent, it contains essential minerals like sodium chloride and potassium chloride to help maintain the body's electrolyte balance while the intestines are being emptied. Patients must follow specific timing and dietary instructions provided by their healthcare provider to achieve the best results and ensure a successful and thorough examination of the colon.

PEG-3350, SODIUM SULFATE, SODIUM CHLORIDE, POTASSIUM CHLORIDE, SODIUM ASCORBATE AND ASCORBIC ACID is made by Salix. 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 PEG-3350, SODIUM SULFATE, SODIUM CHLORIDE, POTASSIUM CHLORIDE, SODIUM ASCORBATE AND ASCORBIC ACID?

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 PEG-3350, SODIUM SULFATE, SODIUM CHLORIDE, POTASSIUM CHLORIDE, SODIUM ASCORBATE AND ASCORBIC ACID?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover PEG-3350, SODIUM SULFATE, SODIUM CHLORIDE, POTASSIUM CHLORIDE, SODIUM ASCORBATE AND ASCORBIC ACID?

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.
