About Penicillin G Sodium and its cost

What is this medication? Penicillin G Sodium is an intravenous or intramuscular antibiotic medication used to treat a wide variety of severe bacterial infections. It belongs to the natural penicillin class of drugs and functions by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, which leads to the eventual death of the bacteria. This medication is specifically effective against many Gram-positive organisms and certain Gram-negative cocci, making it a vital treatment for systemic infections that require immediate and potent medical intervention.

Healthcare providers typically administer this medication in a hospital or clinical setting to treat serious conditions such as bacterial meningitis, endocarditis, and septicemia. It is also a primary treatment for neurosyphilis and severe cases of pneumonia or skin infections caused by susceptible organisms. Because it is delivered directly into the bloodstream or muscle tissue, it allows for high concentrations of the drug to reach the site of infection quickly. It is important to note that this medication is only effective for bacterial diseases and cannot be used to treat viral infections like the flu.

Penicillin G Sodium is made by Xellia. 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 Penicillin G Sodium?

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 Penicillin G Sodium?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Penicillin G Sodium?

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 Pneumonia?

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.
