Schizophrenia shattered your ability to distinguish reality from delusion. Voices commanded you to do dangerous things. Your family couldn’t reach you anymore. After three hospitalizations, your psychiatrist recommended Risperdal Consta injections every two weeks instead of daily pills you kept forgetting. The long-acting shot stabilized you – hallucinations faded, thoughts cleared, relationships started healing. Then your parents saw the injection cost and panicked about affording years of treatment.
Our skilled advocates at The Rx Advocates help families managing serious mental illness access Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) that make Risperdal Consta affordable based on household earnings instead of medical facility charges.
What is the Risperdal Consta Patient Assistance Program?
Drug companies fund assistance specifically for people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder who need injectable antipsychotics but can’t pay full price. Families who get approved access Risperdal Consta at dramatically reduced costs, ensuring money doesn’t interrupt the treatment keeping someone stable and out of the hospital.
What we need you to do: provide the prescription and income documentation. What we do: assemble application materials, work with the psychiatrist’s office for required paperwork, file with manufacturers, track approval. Once accepted, injections get administered at the doctor’s office on schedule.
We advocate for families affected by serious mental illness, connecting them to programs that price psychiatric medications based on financial reality.
How to Qualify
Manufacturers check multiple factors when reviewing applications. Meeting these income requirements helps:
- Singles earning under $40,000 yearly
- Couples with combined income below $60,000 per year
- Families of three or more making less than $100,000 annually
- Valid prescription from psychiatrist
Income alone won’t get you approved. Different companies evaluate other criteria specific to their programs. Each situation needs individual review. Reach out to our team to see if you qualify.

The Rx Advocates Can Help Reduce Risperdal Consta Costs
Monthly fees stay fixed even when injection prices increase at medical facilities. What you pay depends only on how many medications need assistance.
Schizophrenia requires continuous antipsychotic treatment. We built our service for families dealing with insurance that barely covers injectable psychiatric medications, massive deductibles, or jobs without mental health benefits.
We’re not a coupon service. What we do is handle enrollment for programs that maintain medication access at prices families can actually afford.
