Preventing migraines and cluster headaches shouldn’t drain your budget. Through manufacturer Patient Assistance Programs, eligible patients may pay a low, fixed monthly fee. The Rx Advocates handle the entire process so you can stay on treatment without financial stress.
What is the Emgality Patient Assistance Program?
The Emgality Patient Assistance Program is created by the pharmaceutical manufacturer to help qualifying individuals obtain their medication at reduced or no cost. Coupons and savings cards might lower costs initially, but PAPs provide dependable, continuous financial support for patients requiring ongoing migraine or cluster headache prevention. The Rx Advocates assist patients by managing applications, streamlining the approval process, and keeping enrollment active in the Emgality PAP.

Why PAPs Are Better Than Coupons
If you’re considering Emgality coupons to manage medication expenses, several factors deserve attention. Patient Assistance Programs from manufacturers offer more sustainable and effective long-term solutions than coupons.
Disadvantages of coupons
- Restrictions: Availability varies and often includes specific qualification requirements or usage limitations
- Copay Accumulators: Coupons might not count toward your insurance deductible or out-of-pocket maximum
- Expiration Dates: Time-limited validity requires constant monitoring and replacement
- Limited Coverage: Often provide only percentage discounts, leaving substantial costs remaining
Advantages of PAP through The Rx Advocates
- Fixed Monthly Cost: Predictable pricing immune to retail market fluctuations
- No Expiration: Continued access throughout your qualification period
- Direct From Manufacturer: Consistent medication delivery straight from the source
- Broad Support: Includes over 800 FDA-approved prescription medications

Most patients qualify when annual household income falls below $40,000 for individuals, $60,000 for couples, or $100,000 for larger families. Since criteria vary between programs, The Rx Advocates evaluate each situation individually.
The Rx Advocates oversee enrollment and monthly refills by assembling necessary paperwork with your healthcare provider, forwarding applications to the manufacturer, and scheduling medication shipments to avoid treatment disruptions.
About Emgality
Emgality (galcanezumab-gnlm) is a CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) antibody medication. It is primarily prescribed for adults to prevent migraines and treat episodic cluster headaches.
Mechanism of action: Emgality works by binding to the CGRP protein, a key substance in the brain involved in migraines and cluster headaches. By blocking CGRP, Emgality helps prevent these conditions rather than treating active episodes.
Additional uses: Emgality is specifically approved for migraine prevention and episodic cluster headache treatment in adults. It has not been tested for use in patients under 18 years old.
Form & administration: Administered by the patient as a subcutaneous injection using a prefilled auto-injector or syringe. For migraine prevention: 240 mg initial dose, then 120 mg monthly. For cluster headaches: 300 mg at cluster period start, then monthly until period ends.
Side effects:
- Common: injection site reactions, pain at injection site.
- Serious: allergic reactions, hypersensitivity.
- Warning: not recommended for anyone allergic to galcanezumab or other Emgality ingredients; safety not established in children under 18.
