What is this medication? Readi-Cat 2 is a prescription radiopaque contrast agent containing barium sulfate, available in several flavors including Berry, Banana, Creamy Vanilla, and Mochaccino. It is specifically intended for oral administration to patients who are scheduled to undergo a computed tomography, or CT scan, of the gastrointestinal system. By coating the inner linings of the esophagus, stomach, and intestines, the medication helps provide a clearer and more detailed image of these internal structures during the imaging procedure.
The medication works because barium is a dense material that blocks X-rays, appearing bright on the resulting images and creating a sharp contrast between the digestive tract and surrounding soft tissues. This allows medical professionals to more easily identify potential abnormalities, such as tumors, inflammation, or structural issues within the digestive system. It is not absorbed into the bloodstream but instead passes through the body, making it an essential diagnostic tool for visualizing the gastrointestinal tract effectively.

Common questions
What's the cheapest way to afford Readi-Cat 2 Berry Smoothie, Readi-Cat 2 Banana Smoothie, Readi-Cat 2, Readi-Cat 2 Creamy Vanilla Smoothie, Readi-Cat 2 Mochaccino Smoothie?
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 Readi-Cat 2 Berry Smoothie, Readi-Cat 2 Banana Smoothie, Readi-Cat 2, Readi-Cat 2 Creamy Vanilla Smoothie, Readi-Cat 2 Mochaccino Smoothie?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Bracco has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Readi-Cat 2 Berry Smoothie, Readi-Cat 2 Banana Smoothie, Readi-Cat 2, Readi-Cat 2 Creamy Vanilla Smoothie, Readi-Cat 2 Mochaccino Smoothie?
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 your condition?
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.
