About UBRELVY and its cost

What is this medication? UBRELVY is a prescription medication used for the acute treatment of migraine headaches with or without aura in adults. It belongs to a class of drugs known as calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonists, which are designed to target the specific biological pathways involved in migraine attacks. This medication is intended to be taken at the onset of a migraine to help alleviate pain and other symptoms rather than being used as a daily preventive measure.

The medication works by blocking a protein called CGRP from binding to its receptors in the brain, a process that is believed to play a major role in the development of migraine pain. By interfering with this protein, the drug helps to stop the migraine process once it has started. Common side effects can include nausea and sleepiness, and it is important for patients to discuss their medical history and any other medications they are taking with a healthcare provider before starting treatment.

UBRELVY is made by AbbVie. 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 UBRELVY?

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 UBRELVY?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover UBRELVY?

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.
