About TAVALISSE and its cost

What is this medication? Tavalisse, which contains the active ingredient fostamatinib, is a prescription medicine used to treat low blood platelet counts in adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia, also known as ITP. This treatment is generally prescribed for patients who have not seen sufficient improvement after trying at least one other therapy for their condition. The primary goal of the medication is to raise platelet levels to a safer range, which helps to decrease the likelihood of bruising and dangerous bleeding events.

This drug functions as a spleen tyrosine kinase inhibitor, a type of therapy that blocks a specific enzyme responsible for the destruction of platelets by the immune system. In patients with ITP, certain immune cells mistakenly target and destroy healthy platelets, but this medication interferes with the signals that trigger that process. By protecting platelets from being destroyed, Tavalisse helps the body maintain a more stable platelet count and manage the underlying symptoms of the autoimmune disorder.

TAVALISSE is made by Rigel. 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 TAVALISSE?

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 TAVALISSE?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover TAVALISSE?

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 Immune Thrombocytopenia?

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.
