About Propranolol Hydrochloride ER and its cost

What is this medication? Propranolol hydrochloride ER is an extended-release capsule version of a beta-blocker medication used primarily to treat high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. It works by affecting the response to nerve impulses in certain parts of the body, like the heart, which helps the heart beat more slowly and with less force. This reduction in heart rate and blood pressure helps decrease the workload on the cardiovascular system and can help manage or prevent chest pain related to angina pectoris.

In addition to cardiovascular issues, this medication is frequently prescribed for the long-term prevention of migraine headaches. It is also used to treat hypertrophic subaortic stenosis, a condition where the heart muscle thickens and makes it harder for the heart to pump blood. Because this is an extended-release formulation, the medication is released into the bloodstream slowly throughout the day, typically allowing for once-daily dosing as directed by a healthcare provider.

Propranolol Hydrochloride ER is made by ANI. 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 Propranolol Hydrochloride ER?

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 Propranolol Hydrochloride ER?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Propranolol Hydrochloride ER?

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 Angina pectoris?

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.
