About TRANEXAMIC ACID and its cost

What is this medication? Tranexamic acid is a medication classified as an antifibrinolytic agent, which means it helps the blood to clot and prevents excessive bleeding. It works by blocking the breakdown of fibrin, a protein that forms the structure of blood clots. This medication is commonly prescribed to treat heavy menstrual bleeding in women, helping to reduce the overall blood loss during a cycle. It is also used in hospital settings to control or prevent severe bleeding during and after various types of surgeries, such as orthopedic or cardiac procedures.

In addition to its surgical and menstrual applications, tranexamic acid is often used to manage bleeding in patients with specific conditions like hemophilia, especially before undergoing dental work. It can be administered orally in tablet form or given intravenously by a healthcare professional. While generally effective, it is important for patients to discuss their medical history with a doctor, particularly if they have a history of blood clots, as the medication influences the body's natural clotting processes.

TRANEXAMIC ACID is made by Pfizer. 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 TRANEXAMIC ACID?

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 TRANEXAMIC ACID?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover TRANEXAMIC ACID?

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 Irregular Periods?

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.
