Patient assistance programs help you save more on Climara Pro

Seeking greater savings on prescription medications? Pharmaceutical manufacturers often offer discounts to help individuals afford them. Unfortunately, unaware of these programs—known as patient assistance programs—many people miss out on significant saving opportunities. The Rx Advocates, a trusted prescription advocacy program dedicated to ensuring affordable medications for all Americans, can help you navigate the applications. We simplify the process by handling all the complex paperwork for you!

We charge a one-time enrollment fee of $35. After that, our service is monthly, so if you’re dissatisfied with it, you may cancel at any time. Our clients never have to worry about hidden fees or surprise costs. Our pricing model is transparent, affordable, and stress free, which is why people like working with us. Once approved, an eligible patient pays a fixed monthly service fee of just $80–$110, depending on the number of medications they receive:

  • 1 Medication (Climara Pro only) – $80 per month
  • 2 Medications (Climara Pro + 1 other) – $90 per month
  • 3 Medications (Climara Pro + 2 others) – $100 per month 
  • 4+ Medications – $110 per month

The Rx Advocates is not a prescription savings card, copay program, coupon provider, or insurance plan. Instead, we serve as a gateway to brand-name drugs at reasonable prices through patient assistance programs. With us, you gain hassle-free monthly access to your essential prescription medications without having to strain your finances.

How much does Climara Pro cost without patient assistance?

As of April 2024, the average retail cost of Climara Pro is $297.74.

For many individuals, covering the cost of expensive prescription drugs is challenging, especially without financial assistance, savings cards, or coupons. Several factors influence the price you pay for a prescription drug, including the dosage prescribed by your doctor, your geographic location (urban areas typically have higher prices than rural ones), your pharmacy’s location, and the type of health insurance plan you have.

Our team recognizes the challenges posed by medication expenses and can assist you in accessing Climara Pro at an affordable rate through its patient assistance program. And if you need financial help for other medications, we can guide you through the process of applying for other patient assistance programs.

Climara Pro coupon limitations

Are there any disadvantages to using a Climara Pro coupon? Given its high cost,  coupons cannot generally make this medication affordable for the average person. While coupons can offer short-term savings, it’s crucial to be aware of their limitations:

  • Climara Pro coupons often come with restrictions, such as a limit on the number of times they can be used or a discount cap. Some are valid only at certain pharmacies.
  • Due to a copay accumulator attached to your health insurance plan, you may have to pay the full cost of the medication, as a coupon may not count toward your insurance’s out-of-pocket maximum.
  • Coupons become invalid once they expire and typically have a short time frame for use, requiring you to find other ways to cut costs.
  • Even with a coupon, the price of your prescription medication may remain high, and your insurance may not cover the balance. Coupons can only do so much when a medication is expensive.
  • To benefit from coupon savings, people often must physically visit a pharmacy to present the coupon to the pharmacist. This can be difficult for those who are elderly or bedridden.

Although coupons can provide some relief, they do not offer a sustainable solution to the financial challenges posed by expensive prescription drugs. That’s where The Rx Advocates can make a real difference. By helping you access the Climara Pro patient assistance program, we offer greater long-term savings.

Climara Pro uses, alternatives, and other FAQs

Menopause is the life stage in which women stop having monthly menstrual cycles. It typically occurs between ages 45 and 55, but some women experience symptoms earlier due to surgery (e.g., oophorectomy or hysterectomy), chemotherapy, or other causes. At menopause, the ovaries produce fewer female hormones, prompting symptoms such as hot flashes (i.e., sudden, extreme feelings of warmth), night sweats, depression, anxiety, and mood swings.

Climara Pro is a skin patch containing two medications, estradiol and levonorgestrel, that is prescribed for the treatment of moderate to severe menopausal symptoms and for the prevention of osteoporosis. Indicated for women with an intact uterus, Climara Pro should be applied to the lower abdomen once a week, where it works by releasing hormones through the skin into the bloodstream.

Although Climara Pro has helped many menopausal women manage their symptoms, it is not for everyone. You should not use this medication if you:

  • Are allergic to estradiol, levonorgestrel, or similar estrogen or progestin compounds
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have had a hysterectomy
  • Have a history of blood clots, heart attack, stroke, pulmonary hypertension, liver disease, coronary heart disease, or breast or endometrial cancer
  • Experience unusual or chronic vaginal bleeding
  • Have endometrial hyperplasia
  • Have experienced changes in vision due to vascular damage to the eye

For women unable to use Climara Pro, here are a few alternative medications to consider:

Oral hormonal therapies, such as Estrace, Premarin, Activella, and Angeliq

Adverse effects of Climara Pro
