About Treximet and its cost

What is this medication? Treximet is a prescription medication used for the acute treatment of migraine headaches with or without aura in adults and pediatric patients twelve years of age and older. It is a combination drug that contains two active ingredients: sumatriptan and naproxen sodium. Sumatriptan belongs to a class of medications called triptans, which work by narrowing blood vessels around the brain and reducing substances that trigger head pain. Naproxen sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID, that functions by decreasing the hormones that cause inflammation and pain throughout the body.

This medication is intended to treat a migraine attack that has already begun, but it is not used to prevent future migraines or to reduce the frequency of attacks. It is also not indicated for the treatment of other headache types, such as cluster headaches or hemiplegic migraines. Because it contains an NSAID, Treximet carries specific warnings regarding cardiovascular and gastrointestinal risks, and it should be used exactly as directed by a healthcare provider. Typically, a single tablet is taken at the first sign of a migraine to help relieve symptoms like pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light or sound.

Treximet is made by Currax. 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 Treximet?

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 Treximet?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Treximet?

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 Acute treatment of migraine with or without aura?

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.
