About Vasopressin in 0.9% Sodium Chloride and its cost
What is this medication? Vasopressin in 0.9 percent sodium chloride is an intravenous medication primarily used to increase blood pressure in adults experiencing vasodilatory shock. This condition often occurs during or after surgery or in patients with severe infections, where blood vessels relax excessively and prevent adequate blood flow to vital organs. The medication acts as a synthetic version of the naturally occurring antidiuretic hormone in the body, helping to stabilize patients who have not responded sufficiently to other treatments like fluid replacement or other blood pressure medications. By binding to specific receptors on the walls of blood vessels, vasopressin causes the vessels to constrict, which raises systemic blood pressure and improves overall circulation. The 0.9 percent sodium chloride component serves as a sterile diluent that allows the medication to be administered at a precise, controlled rate through a continuous infusion. Because it is a potent medication that significantly affects the circulatory system, it is strictly used in clinical settings such as intensive care units or operating rooms where healthcare providers can closely monitor the patient’s vitals and cardiovascular response.
Vasopressin in 0.9% Sodium Chloride is made by Baxter. 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 Vasopressin in 0.9% Sodium Chloride?
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 Vasopressin in 0.9% Sodium Chloride?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Baxter has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Vasopressin in 0.9% Sodium Chloride?
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 Shock?
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.
