About Ursodiol 200 mg, Ursodiol 400 mg and its cost
Ursodiol is a naturally occurring bile acid used to treat and prevent specific types of gallbladder and liver conditions. It is most commonly prescribed to dissolve small, non-calcified gallstones in patients who cannot undergo surgery. Additionally, doctors often prescribe this medication to prevent the formation of gallstones in people who are undergoing rapid weight loss. The 250 mg, 300 mg, and 500 mg strengths allow for precise dosing based on the patient's weight and the specific medical condition being addressed. This medication is also frequently used to treat primary biliary cholangitis, which is a chronic liver disease that slowly destroys the bile ducts. Ursodiol works by reducing the amount of cholesterol produced by the liver and absorbed by the intestines, while also making it easier for the body to break down existing stones. By decreasing the toxicity of certain bile acids, it helps protect liver cells from damage and improves overall liver function. It is important to take this medication exactly as directed by a healthcare provider to achieve the best therapeutic results.

Common questions
What's the cheapest way to afford Ursodiol 200 mg, Ursodiol 400 mg?
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 Ursodiol 200 mg, Ursodiol 400 mg?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Travere has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Ursodiol 200 mg, Ursodiol 400 mg?
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 Gallstones?
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.
