About Premasol - sulfite-free (Amino Acid) and its cost

What is this medication? Premasol sulfite-free is a sterile solution containing several essential and non-essential amino acids designed to provide nutritional support through an intravenous line. It is primarily used as a source of nitrogen to help the body build proteins and maintain tissue health in patients who are unable to receive adequate nutrition through oral or enteral feeding. This specific formulation is tailored to meet the unique metabolic needs of infants and young children, including those with low birth weight, ensuring they receive the necessary building blocks for growth and development.

This medication is typically administered as a component of a total parenteral nutrition regimen, often given alongside other nutritional elements like carbohydrates, fats, and electrolytes. The sulfite-free nature of this product makes it a suitable choice for pediatric patients who may be at risk for sensitivities or adverse reactions to sulfite preservatives. Healthcare professionals carefully monitor the administration of this solution to maintain proper balance in the body and to support the overall health and recovery of the patient.

Premasol - sulfite-free (Amino Acid) is made by Baxter. 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 Premasol - sulfite-free (Amino 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 Premasol - sulfite-free (Amino Acid)?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Premasol - sulfite-free (Amino 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 Malnutrition?

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.
