About Philith and its cost

What is this medication? Philith is a combination hormone medication primarily used as a form of oral contraception to prevent pregnancy. It contains two active ingredients, which are a progestin known as norethindrone and an estrogen called ethinyl estradiol. This medication works by preventing ovulation, which is the release of an egg from the ovaries during each menstrual cycle. It also increases the thickness of cervical mucus to block sperm from reaching an egg and alters the lining of the uterus to prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg. In addition to its use as birth control, Philith may provide several other health benefits related to the menstrual cycle. It can be used to help regulate periods, reduce blood loss, and alleviate painful cramping. Some healthcare providers also prescribe it to treat moderate acne in individuals who have reached puberty and are seeking a contraceptive method. It is important to note that while this medication is effective at preventing pregnancy, it does not offer protection against HIV or other sexually transmitted infections.

Philith is made by Noven Therapeutics, LLC. 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 Philith?

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 Philith?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Philith?

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 Birth Control?

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.
