About Probenecid and Colchicine and its cost
What is this medication? This combination medication contains two active ingredients, probenecid and colchicine, and is primarily used to treat chronic gouty arthritis. It is specifically prescribed for patients who experience frequent gout attacks and need to manage high levels of uric acid in their blood over a long period. Probenecid works as a uricosuric agent, which means it helps the kidneys eliminate excess uric acid through the urine, while colchicine serves as an anti-inflammatory to reduce the pain and swelling associated with gout flares. By combining these two drugs, the medication helps prevent the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints that causes the intense pain of a gout attack. While probenecid focuses on lowering the chemical levels in the body, colchicine provides a protective effect to prevent the sudden attacks that can sometimes occur when uric acid levels are being adjusted. It is important to note that this medication is intended for long-term prevention and maintenance rather than for treating a sudden, acute attack that has already started.
Probenecid and Colchicine is made by a pharmaceutical manufacturer. 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 Probenecid and Colchicine?
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 Probenecid and Colchicine?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But the manufacturer has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Probenecid and Colchicine?
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 Gout?
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.
