About Triumeq, Triumeq PD and its cost

What is this medication? Triumeq and Triumeq PD are prescription medications used to treat human immunodeficiency virus type 1, which is commonly known as HIV-1. This medication combines three different antiretroviral drugs into a single tablet: dolutegravir, abacavir, and lamivudine. It works by interfering with the enzymes the virus needs to replicate, thereby lowering the viral load in the blood. By keeping the virus at low levels, the medication helps the immune system stay stronger and reduces the likelihood of developing infections or other health issues associated with the virus.

Triumeq is generally used for adults and children who weigh at least twenty-five kilograms, while Triumeq PD is a smaller, dispersible tablet version specifically created for pediatric patients weighing at least six kilograms. It is important to note that this medication is intended as a complete stand-alone treatment and should not be taken with other HIV drugs. Before a patient begins this treatment, they must undergo a blood test for a specific genetic marker called HLA-B 5701 to prevent a potentially serious allergic reaction to one of the ingredients in the formula.

Triumeq, Triumeq PD is made by ViiV. 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 Triumeq, Triumeq PD?

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 Triumeq, Triumeq PD?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Triumeq, Triumeq PD?

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 HIV Disease?

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.
