Xifaxan Patient Assistance Program

Is your Xifaxan medication too expensive? Many people struggle affording their Xifaxan prescription, even with coupons. Monthly medications like Xifaxan can be financial burdens for many patients, and coupons may not always provide enough savings.

The Rx Advocates connect you to manufacturer Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) that deliver substantial savings on Xifaxan and other medications. Through PAPs, eligible patients pay a low, fixed monthly fee. We handle the entire process so you can stay on treatment without letting high medication costs hold you back from your health goals.

The Rx Advocates can help
reduce Xifaxan costs

Our mission is providing assistance to people with obtaining prescription medications at affordable prices. We understand how expensive medications can be and paying cash for them is not possible in some cases.

We’re not a coupon provider, insurance plan, or discount card. Patients are charged set fees based on the number of medications they need assistance with. We handle enrollment, track applications, and coordinate deliveries so patients can access medications they need to stay healthy without worrying about cost.

While a Xifaxan coupon can provide some savings, it may also have limitations that could ultimately limit potential for significant savings. Patient assistance programs provide more substantial savings and are often available year-round.

Disadvantages
of coupons

  • Restrictions: May only be available for limited time or apply to specific number of refills
  • Copay Accumulators: May not be available to all patients or only provide modest discounts, leaving significant out-of-pocket costs
  • Expiration Dates: Time-limited validity creates savings gaps
  • Limited Coverage: Even with coupons, patients face substantial financial burdens

Advantages of PAP
through The Rx Advocates

  • Fixed Monthly Cost: Set service fees based on medication count
  • No Expiration: Year-round availability without time restrictions
  • Direct From Manufacturer: Medication supplied reliably from the pharmaceutical source
  • Broad Support: Help patients access medications at little or no cost, regardless of income or insurance status

About Xifaxan

Xifaxan (rifaximin) is an antibiotic medication. It is primarily prescribed to treat traveler’s diarrhea (TD), hepatic encephalopathy in adults, and irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D).

Mechanism of action: Xifaxan works by stopping bacterial growth in the intestines. Unlike many antibiotics, it stays primarily in the gut and is minimally absorbed into the bloodstream.

Additional uses: For TD, dose is 200 mg three times daily for three days at symptom onset. For hepatic encephalopathy, Xifaxan is dosed at 550 mg twice daily for as long as prescribed. For IBS-D, Xifaxan is given 550 mg three times daily for 14 days and can be used for up to two more courses in a six-month period.

Form & administration: Administered by the patient as oral tablets. Available in 200 mg and 550 mg strengths. Take with or without food.

Side effects:

  • Common: nausea, dizziness, fatigue, fluid retention.
  • Serious: severe allergic reactions, Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea, liver problems.
  • Warning: not for everyone; do not take if you have hypersensitivity to rifaximin or any other ingredients in Xifaxan.

Conclusion

Don’t let high Xifaxan costs prevent you from getting the treatment you need. Patient assistance programs exist specifically to help people afford medications – many just don’t know about them.
