About Wixela Inhub and its cost

What is this medication? Wixela Inhub is a prescription inhalation powder used for the long-term treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which includes conditions such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It is a combination medication containing fluticasone propionate, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the lungs, and salmeterol, a long-acting bronchodilator that helps keep the airways open. This medication is typically prescribed to improve lung function and prevent symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing in adults and children aged four years and older.

It is important to note that Wixela Inhub is designed as a maintenance treatment and should be used daily as directed by a healthcare provider. It is not intended to be used as a rescue inhaler to treat sudden, acute breathing problems or asthma attacks. By consistently using the medication, patients can achieve better control over their respiratory symptoms and decrease the frequency of flare-ups over time.

Wixela Inhub 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 Wixela Inhub?

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 Wixela Inhub?

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 Wixela Inhub?

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 Asthma?

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.
