About TELMISARTAN AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE and its cost
What is this medication? This medication is a combination of two active ingredients used to treat high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. It contains telmisartan, which is an angiotensin II receptor blocker, and hydrochlorothiazide, which is a diuretic or water pill. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent serious health complications such as strokes, heart attacks, and kidney issues. This drug is often prescribed when a single medication has not been effective enough in managing a patient's blood pressure levels.
The two components work in different ways to achieve the desired effect. Telmisartan helps by blocking a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten, allowing them to relax and widen so blood can flow more easily. Hydrochlorothiazide works by causing the kidneys to remove excess water and salt from the body through urine. Together, these actions reduce the overall pressure on the cardiovascular system and help maintain a healthy blood pressure range.
TELMISARTAN AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE is made by Boehringer Ingelheim. 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 TELMISARTAN AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE?
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 TELMISARTAN AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Boehringer Ingelheim has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover TELMISARTAN AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE?
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.
