Searching for ways to afford your Linzess prescription? Many patients face high out-of-pocket costs that make medication access difficult. At The Rx Advocates, we help you gain affordable access through manufacturer patient assistance programs. These programs provide better long-term savings than coupons or discount cards. 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 Linzess Patient Assistance Program?
The Linzess Patient Assistance Program is established by the pharmaceutical manufacturer to assist qualifying individuals in obtaining their medication affordably. Though coupons may seem helpful, patient assistance programs deliver more substantial and sustainable savings for long-term treatment.
The Rx Advocates help patients apply to these manufacturer programs, complete required applications, and maintain active enrollment in the Linzess PAP.

Why PAPs Are Better Than Coupons
Tired of coupon restrictions? While coupons can help lower medication costs, they come with significant limitations that make them less effective than patient assistance programs.
Disadvantages of coupons
- Restrictions: Often limited to certain pharmacies, timeframes, or specific insurance plans
- Copay Accumulators: May not count toward your out-of-pocket maximum due to insurance copay accumulators
- Expiration Dates: Every coupon expires, becoming useless after that date
- Limited Coverage: Typically leave patients responsible for significant portions of medication costs
Advantages of PAP through The Rx Advocates
- Fixed Monthly Cost: Stable pricing unaffected by retail cost changes
- No Expiration: Ongoing access maintained throughout your qualification period
- Direct From Manufacturer: Consistent medication delivery from the source
- Broad Support: Access to over 800 FDA-approved medications
