About Zyprexa, ZYPREXA Intramuscular, ZYPREXA Zydis and its cost

What is this medication? Zyprexa, including its orally disintegrating form called Zydis and its intramuscular injection, belongs to a class of drugs known as atypical antipsychotics. This medication is primarily used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder in adults and sometimes teenagers. It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain, which can decrease hallucinations and help patients think more clearly and positively about themselves. It is also effective for treating acute manic or mixed episodes in people with bipolar disorder.

The different forms of the medication allow for flexible treatment options depending on the clinical situation. The oral tablets and Zydis disintegrating tablets are typically used for daily maintenance to prevent symptoms from returning, while the intramuscular injection is used for the rapid control of acute agitation associated with these psychiatric conditions. By stabilizing mood and reducing disorganized thinking, these treatments help individuals maintain their daily activities and improve their quality of life during both acute episodes and long-term care.

Zyprexa, ZYPREXA Intramuscular, ZYPREXA Zydis is made by Eli Lilly. 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 Zyprexa, ZYPREXA Intramuscular, ZYPREXA Zydis?

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 Zyprexa, ZYPREXA Intramuscular, ZYPREXA Zydis?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Zyprexa, ZYPREXA Intramuscular, ZYPREXA Zydis?

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 Schizophrenia?

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.
