Different insurance means different laws and different savings. For example, Medicare patients cannot use manufacturer copay cards (federal law) — but the manufacturer almost always has a Patient Assistance Program that gives the drug free.

About Tydemy and its cost

What is this medication? Tydemy is a prescription combination oral contraceptive used primarily by women to prevent pregnancy. It contains three active ingredients: drospirenone, which is a progestin; ethinyl estradiol, which is an estrogen; and levomefolate calcium, which is a form of B vitamin. The medication works by preventing ovulation during the menstrual cycle and altering the cervical mucus and uterine lining to make it more difficult for sperm to reach an egg or for a fertilized egg to attach.

Beyond its use as a contraceptive, Tydemy is also indicated for the treatment of moderate acne in women at least 14 years old who have reached menarche and desire birth control. It is also used to treat symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder, a condition characterized by severe physical and emotional symptoms before menstruation. The folate component, levomefolate calcium, is included to increase folate levels in women of reproductive age to reduce the risk of neural tube defects in the event of a pregnancy occurring during or shortly after the use of the medication.

Tydemy is made by a pharmaceutical manufacturer. 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 Tydemy?

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 Tydemy?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Tydemy?

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 Birth Control?

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.
