About XOLAIR, Xolair PFS, Xolair and its cost

What is this medication? Xolair is a prescription injectable medication used to treat several different conditions triggered by the immune system. It is primarily prescribed for adults and children six years of age and older who have moderate to severe persistent asthma that is not well controlled by inhaled corticosteroids. This medication is specifically for patients whose asthma is triggered by year-round allergens in the air. Additionally, it is used to treat chronic spontaneous urticaria, which involves chronic hives that do not have a known cause and have not responded to antihistamine treatments.

This medication is also approved for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps in adults when used alongside other treatments like nasal corticosteroids. More recently, Xolair has been indicated for use in children and adults to help reduce the risk of severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, that may occur after accidental exposure to one or more foods. It works by blocking immunoglobulin E, a protein in the body that plays a key role in allergic responses. It is important to note that this medicine is not intended for the emergency treatment of an allergic reaction or asthma attack.

XOLAIR, Xolair PFS, Xolair is made by Genentech. 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 XOLAIR, Xolair PFS, Xolair?

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 XOLAIR, Xolair PFS, Xolair?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover XOLAIR, Xolair PFS, Xolair?

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 Severe 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.
