Severe acne destroyed your confidence throughout high school. Painful cysts covered your face and back, making you avoid mirrors and social situations. Over-the-counter treatments did nothing. Your dermatologist prescribed Solodyn, an extended-release antibiotic targeting the bacteria causing your breakouts. After three months, your skin finally cleared. You could look people in the eye again without shame. Then your parents’ insurance changed and suddenly Solodyn wasn’t covered, leaving your family facing costs they couldn’t sustain.
The knowledgeable team at The Rx Advocates assists acne patients in securing Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) that price Solodyn based on household earnings rather than pharmacy charges.
What is the Solodyn Patient Assistance Program?
Drug companies fund programs for patients needing acne treatment who can’t afford extended-release antibiotics at retail prices. Patients gaining approval receive Solodyn at substantially reduced costs, preventing financial barriers from forcing treatment discontinuation and acne relapse.
What you handle: provide prescription and income documentation. What we handle: assemble application materials, coordinate with your dermatologist for required forms, submit completed packages to manufacturers, track approval progress. Once accepted, Solodyn ships monthly to your door.
We serve as patient advocates connecting people with severe acne to pharmaceutical programs that base medication pricing on financial circumstances.
How to Qualify
Companies review multiple eligibility factors. Approval becomes more probable when satisfying these income benchmarks:
- Singles making under $40,000 yearly
- Couples earning below $60,000 combined annually
- Families of three or more with income under $100,000 per year
- Valid prescription from licensed dermatologist
Meeting income thresholds alone won’t guarantee acceptance. Different manufacturers evaluate additional criteria specific to their programs. Every application requires individual assessment. Connect with our advocates for eligibility evaluation.

The Rx Advocates Can Help Reduce Solodyn Costs
Monthly service charges stay locked even when Solodyn retail prices climb. Your payment depends solely on how many medications require assistance.
Severe acne needs consistent antibiotic therapy for clearance. We structured our service for patients confronting insurance problems – policies excluding dermatology medications, deductibles positioned absurdly high, or age-related policy changes eliminating coverage.
Coupon distribution doesn’t align with our operations. Our focus involves managing enrollment for pharmaceutical programs providing sustained medication access at prices far below retail.

About Solodyn
Solodyn contains minocycline in extended-release tablets prescribed for treating inflammatory lesions of non-nodular moderate to severe acne vulgaris in patients 12 years and older.

Administration: Swallow tablets whole with adequate fluid. Take it at the same time daily. Can be taken with or without food. Don’t lie down immediately after taking to prevent esophageal irritation.
Side effects:
