About Xiclofen and its cost

What is this medication? Xiclofen is a prescription medication that belongs to the category of drugs known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. It contains the active ingredient diclofenac, which is primarily used to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling in the body. Healthcare providers most frequently prescribe this medication to manage symptoms related to chronic conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. By blocking the production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation, it helps patients maintain better mobility and comfort in their joints. In addition to treating long-term inflammatory disorders, Xiclofen can be utilized for the short-term relief of acute pain. This includes managing discomfort from muscle aches, backaches, dental work, or menstrual periods. Because it is a potent NSAID, it should be used exactly as directed by a medical professional to avoid common side effects such as stomach irritation. It is typically taken with food or milk to protect the digestive lining and is often part of a broader treatment plan for managing physical discomfort and recovery from injury.

Xiclofen is made by EIPICO. 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 Xiclofen?

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 Xiclofen?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Xiclofen?

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 Osteoarthritis?

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.
