About Salicor and its cost

What is this medication? Salsalate is a prescription medication belonging to a class of drugs known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. It is primarily used to relieve symptoms associated with various types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. By targeting specific enzymes in the body, this medication helps to reduce inflammation, swelling, and stiffness in the joints, making it easier for patients to manage chronic pain and maintain daily mobility. In addition to its use for long-term arthritic conditions, Salsalate may be prescribed for other types of inflammatory pain. Unlike some other medications in the salicylate family, it is designed to be less irritating to the stomach lining, though it still functions by blocking the production of natural substances that cause pain and fever. Patients typically take this medication under the guidance of a healthcare professional to ensure the correct dosage and to monitor for potential side effects or interactions with other drugs.

Salicor 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 Salicor?

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 Salicor?

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 Salicor?

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 Back Pain?

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.
