About RAPAFLO and its cost

What is this medication? Rapaflo, which is the brand name for the generic drug silodosin, is a prescription medication used to treat the signs and symptoms of an enlarged prostate, a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH. It belongs to a class of drugs called alpha-1 blockers. The medication works by relaxing the smooth muscles located in the prostate gland and the neck of the bladder. By easing this muscle tension, Rapaflo makes it easier for men to urinate and helps alleviate common issues such as a weak urinary stream, hesitancy, or the frequent need to use the bathroom.

This medication is designed specifically for use in adult men and is not recommended for women or pediatric patients. While Rapaflo is effective at improving the flow of urine and reducing discomfort associated with BPH, it is important to understand that the drug does not physically shrink the size of the prostate over time. Patients should take the medication exactly as prescribed, usually once daily with a meal, and should be mindful of potential side effects like low blood pressure or dizziness when changing positions. Always consult with a healthcare professional to ensure this medication is appropriate for your specific health needs.

RAPAFLO is made by Allergan. 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 RAPAFLO?

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 RAPAFLO?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover RAPAFLO?

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 Hypertension?

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.
