About POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL-3350 AND ELECTROLYTES and its cost
What is this medication? Polyethylene glycol-3350 with electrolytes is a prescription medication primarily used to cleanse the colon in preparation for a colonoscopy or certain X-ray examinations. It belongs to a class of drugs known as osmotic laxatives. The medication works by causing watery diarrhea, which helps to clear out the digestive tract so that a healthcare provider can clearly see the lining of the bowel during a medical procedure.
This medication comes in a powder form that is mixed with water to create a large volume of solution for the patient to drink over a short period. Unlike some other laxatives, this formula includes essential salts, or electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium. These electrolytes are included to help maintain the body's mineral balance and prevent dehydration while the bowel is being emptied. It is important to follow the specific drinking instructions provided by a doctor to ensure the colon is thoroughly cleaned for a successful procedure.
POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL-3350 AND ELECTROLYTES is made by Braintree. 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 POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL-3350 AND ELECTROLYTES?
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 POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL-3350 AND ELECTROLYTES?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Braintree has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL-3350 AND ELECTROLYTES?
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.
