C. difficile infection causes severe diarrhea that disrupts daily life and can become life-threatening. When Dificid costs make antibiotic treatment unaffordable, infections persist and complications develop. The price of medication shouldn’t determine whether you treat CDAD effectively.
Our experienced team of professionals at The Rx Advocates specializes in connecting patients to Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) that make C. difficile treatment affordable. We handle enrollment procedures while you focus on recovery.
What is the Dificid Patient Assistance Program?
Pharmaceutical companies fund patient assistance programs for people who can’t afford expensive antibiotic treatments. Dificid’s program provides ongoing medication access instead of temporary coupon relief.
Here’s our process: Working with you and your gastroenterologist, we collect required documentation and prepare complete applications. We submit these to the appropriate pharmaceutical companies and monitor them through approval. Once you’re accepted, we coordinate refills to ensure antibiotic treatment continues without interruption. We collaborate with over 100 U.S. pharmaceutical companies, helping patients access more than 800 FDA-approved prescription medications.
Meeting income thresholds improves your odds, but companies review each application on its individual merits. We ensure yours presents all necessary information accurately.
How to Qualify
Program eligibility centers on annual household income and U.S. residency. We evaluate your financial circumstances against program standards to identify if you satisfy their requirements.
Common requirements include:
- Annual income does not exceed $40,000 for individuals
- Annual income does not exceed $60,000 for couples
- Annual income does not exceed $100,000 for large families
- U.S. residency and valid prescription
Although guidelines vary between pharmaceutical company programs, these are typically common across most. Contact us today to determine if you meet the criteria and qualify.

Why PAPs Are Better Than Coupons
While coupons seem like easy solutions to high prescription costs, they include several limitations. Patient assistance programs offer more reliable long-term support.
Disadvantages of coupons
- Usage limitations: Often redeemable only at certain pharmacies or for limited time
- Copay accumulators: Insurance plans may prevent coupons from applying toward deductibles
- Expiry dates: Time limits restrict when you can receive discounts
- Partial coverage: Prices may still be high, leaving significant out-of-pocket costs
Advantages of PAPs through The Rx Advocates
- Substantial savings: Can significantly cut monthly medication bills
- Simplified process: We make applications less daunting
- Predictable costs: Know exactly what you’ll pay monthly
- Ongoing support: Help doesn’t end after approval

About Dificid
Dificid (fidaxomicin) is an antibiotic prescribed to treat Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea in adults.
What is CDAD: Condition caused by excessive growth of Clostridium difficile bacteria after use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Results in severe diarrhea and intestinal complications.
How it works: Targets and inhibits the growth of Clostridium difficile bacteria to resolve infection. Designed specifically for C. diff treatment.
Side effects:
- Common: nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, gastrointestinal hemorrhage
- Serious: severe allergic reactions, severe diarrhea that doesn’t improve
Important considerations: Complete the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve. The high cost can be attributed to expensive research and development, clinical trials, regulatory approvals, intricate manufacturing processes, and quality control measures. Limited competition and a small patient population also contribute to pricing.

C. difficile infections worsen when antibiotic treatment gets interrupted. Stopping Dificid mid-course because of cost allows bacteria to multiply, causing relapse and potentially more severe complications.
We understand the challenges of affording expensive medications to treat CDAD. If you’re hunting for ways to reduce expenses, there’s a better solution than temporary coupons. We can help you save substantially on your prescription.
