About SAJAZIR and its cost

What is this medication? Sajazir is a prescription medication used to treat sudden attacks of hereditary angioedema in adults eighteen years of age and older. Hereditary angioedema is a rare genetic condition that causes episodes of severe swelling in various parts of the body, including the hands, feet, face, abdomen, and airway. By treating these acute attacks, the medication helps to reduce the symptoms and manage the localized swelling that can be painful or potentially life-threatening.

The active ingredient in this medication is icatibant, which works by blocking the activity of a specific protein called bradykinin. During an attack of hereditary angioedema, the body produces too much bradykinin, which causes blood vessels to leak fluid into surrounding tissues and results in swelling. Sajazir is administered as an injection under the skin, typically in the stomach area, and can be self-administered by a patient or a caregiver after receiving proper training from a healthcare provider.

SAJAZIR 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 SAJAZIR?

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 SAJAZIR?

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 SAJAZIR?

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 Chemotherapy and Immunosuppressant Side Effects?

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.
