Feeling burdened by Synthroid costs month after month? Numerous individuals managing hypothyroidism face this same challenge without adequate insurance coverage to help.

At The Rx Advocates, we connect patients to manufacturer patient assistance programs offering sustainable savings. Through PAPs, eligible patients pay a low, fixed monthly fee. We handle the entire process so you can stay on treatment without financial stress.

What is the Synthroid Patient Assistance Program?

Pharmaceutical manufacturers operate Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) to help eligible patients access medications they otherwise couldn’t afford. These programs replace the need for constantly searching for coupons or discount cards that offer limited savings.

At The Rx Advocates, we partner with more than 100 United States pharmaceutical manufacturers running patient assistance programs. We help people obtain the top 100 prescribed medicines in the US and over 800 FDA-approved medications. Our team assembles your application, coordinates with your healthcare provider, and submits everything to the manufacturer.

How to Qualify

Important information you need to know: to qualify for PAPs, there are specific income and residency standards to consider. We help patients understand these requirements and determine if it’s right for their circumstances.

Typical requirements to qualify include:

  • Individuals qualify if they earn up to $40,000 annually
  • Couples qualify if they earn up to $60,000 annually
  • Larger families qualify if they earn up to $100,000 annually
  • U.S. residency and a valid prescription

Guidelines from one patient assistance program to another may vary. Contact us so we can review your specific information to determine if you qualify.

Why PAPs Are Better Than Coupons

Synthroid coupons alleviate costs initially but come with significant limitations requiring careful evaluation. Patient assistance programs deliver more substantial savings and avoid coupon restrictions.

Disadvantages of coupons

  • Restrictions: Limited number of refills and time-limited validity periods
  • Copay Accumulators: May not count toward insurance out-of-pocket maximums
  • Expiration Dates: Become invalid after expiration, requiring constant replacement searches
  • Limited Coverage: May not provide the best medication price; not accepted at all pharmacies, creating challenges for rural patients

Advantages of PAP through The Rx Advocates

  • Fixed Monthly Cost: Set fees based on medication count never include hidden costs
  • No Expiration: Program access continues without renewal requirements
  • Direct From Manufacturer: Medication supplied reliably from the pharmaceutical source
  • Broad Support: Coverage extends to over 800 FDA-approved prescription medications

About Synthroid

Synthroid (levothyroxine sodium) is a thyroid hormone replacement medication. It is primarily prescribed for patients with hypothyroidism, a condition where thyroid hormones are too low for metabolic needs.

Mechanism of action: Synthroid contains levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic hormone working identically to thyroxine. It helps restore normal thyroid levels through hormone replacement.

Additional uses: Synthroid treats hypothyroidism symptoms including weight gain, fatigue, cold intolerance, constipation, dry skin, and menstrual irregularities.

Form & administration: Administered by the patient as an oral tablet taken once daily. Available in 12 dosage options (25 mcg to 300 mcg). Take on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before meals. Healthcare providers determine starting dose by weight, age, hypothyroidism cause, and other health conditions.

Side effects:

  • Common: headache, changes in appetite, weight changes, heat sensitivity, sweating, fatigue.
  • Serious: chest pain, rapid or irregular heartbeat, tremors, breathing difficulty, excessive sweating.
  • Warning: patients with uncorrected adrenal problems should not use Synthroid until underlying disorder is corrected; women post-menopause, patients with osteoporosis, and those with cardiovascular disease require close doctor monitoring.
