About Tudorza Pressair and its cost

What is this medication? Tudorza Pressair is a prescription medicine used for the long-term maintenance treatment of airflow blockage in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It contains aclidinium bromide, which is a type of drug known as a long-acting muscarinic antagonist. By relaxing the muscles around the airways, the medication helps to keep the lungs open and reduces symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath over time.

This medication is delivered as a dry powder through a handheld inhaler and is usually taken twice every day. It is designed to provide steady control of respiratory symptoms rather than immediate relief from a sudden flare-up. Therefore, it should not be used as a rescue medication for treating acute breathing difficulties. For the best management of their condition, patients should use the inhaler consistently as directed by their healthcare provider.

Tudorza Pressair is made by Covis. 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 Tudorza Pressair?

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 Tudorza Pressair?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Tudorza Pressair?

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 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary 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.
