Are you struggling to afford your Savella medication? You’re not alone. The high cost of prescription drugs creates significant financial burdens, especially for those without insurance coverage. Choosing between paying bills and obtaining fibromyalgia medication shouldn’t be necessary.

Coupons or savings cards provide some relief but may not sufficiently make medication affordable. At The Rx Advocates, we can help you save significantly on monthly costs by connecting you with Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) offered by pharmaceutical companies.

What is the Savella Patient Assistance Program?

Pharmaceutical companies sponsor assistance programs for patients struggling with fibromyalgia medication costs. Savella’s program delivers ongoing prescription access beyond temporary coupon savings.

You provide medical and financial information. We handle application complexity. Working with your rheumatologist, we gather required documentation and prepare complete submissions. We send these to pharmaceutical companies and monitor progress. Once approved, medications are delivered to your door at no additional cost.

We’re a patient advocacy program well-known throughout the United States. We work with more than 100 pharmaceutical company patient assistance programs, applying for discounts on patients’ behalf. We can help obtain more than 800 FDA-approved medications.

Income limits create eligibility baselines, but sometimes exceptions exist. We offer individual reviews for every case.

How to Qualify

To qualify for services, patients must meet certain criteria:

  • Make less than $40,000 annually (individuals)
  • Make less than $60,000 annually (couples)
  • Make less than $100,000 annually (large families)
  • U.S. residency and valid prescription

Every patient assistance program has its own qualification guidelines. We invite everyone needing help covering medication costs to contact us. We will see if you qualify

  • Inconsistent availability: May not always be accessible

  • Delivered medications: Arrive at your door free
  • Long-term solution: Ongoing assistance

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Fibromyalgia patients managing chronic pain commonly ask these questions about Savella affordability.

With The Rx Advocates, patients pay a fixed monthly service fee, which depends on the number of medications covered.

  • 1 Medication (Savella only) – $80 per month
  • 2 Medications (Savella + 1 other) – $90 per month
  • 3 Medications (Savella + 2 others) – $100 per month

Prescriptions deliver right to their door every month with no additional charges.

About Savella

Savella (milnacipran) is prescribed for patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

Available strengths: 12.5 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg tablets.

How it works: Selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), similar to medications treating depression. People taking this medication daily find relief from fibromyalgia symptoms, experiencing less physical pain and improved function levels.

Side effects:

  • Common: nausea (most common during trials), vomiting, constipation, dizziness, insomnia, excessive sweating, heart palpitations, dry mouth, high blood pressure
  • Serious: increased suicidal thoughts, anxiety, panic attacks, mental and behavioral health changes

Important warnings: In some people, antidepressants can increase suicidal thoughts and anxiety. Patients are instructed to contact doctors right away if experiencing mental and behavioral health changes. If side effects become bothersome or severe, talk with doctors immediately.

Medical conditions requiring caution: High blood pressure, heart conditions, history of heavy alcohol use, kidney problems, history of seizure disorders, history of mania, bleeding disorders may disqualify someone from taking Savella.

Fibromyalgia symptoms worsen when medication becomes unaffordable. Untreated chronic pain reduces quality of life, limits daily activities, and affects mental health.
