People often have trouble paying for their medications every month, whether they have insurance or not. Xigduo XR is a medication that many patients need if they have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Without some type of financial assistance, many people cannot afford it, and not taking it should never be a consideration. 

At The Rx Advocates, we want to help people by making sure they can afford their monthly medications. We work with patient assistance programs on behalf of our patients to find discounts and make their medications more affordable.

Who are The Rx Advocates?

The Rx Advocates offers help to people who are struggling to pay for their monthly medications. Our prescription advocacy program is very well-known, and we assist people all over the United States. We work with more than 100 pharmaceutical manufacturers’ patient assistance programs to help people receive more than 800 FDA-approved medications. 

When our patients work with us, they can be certain that they will never incur any hidden charges or fees. We are very upfront about our pricing, and our services cost between $70-$100 per month, depending on the number of prescriptions a patient needs. Our fee is the only expense our patients have; their medications are delivered directly to their door for free. Our goal is to keep their medications affordable for them, and they will never be asked to pay more.

The Rx Advocates does not offer health insurance plans, prescription drug coupons or discount cards. Instead, our patients enjoy ongoing savings because of our work with patient assistance programs on their behalf. It can be very frustrating and time-consuming to apply for these programs, but we handle this for our patients so they can have peace of mind and more affordable medications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Xigduo XR is an extended-release medication that doctors prescribe to treat type 2 diabetes. It is designed to release a little of the medication into the body throughout the day.

It works by lowering blood sugar levels in the body. It is a combination of two medications – metformin and dapagliflozin, which is a kind of medicine called an SGLT2 inhibitor. This medication works the best when it is combined with a healthy diet and exercise.

In addition to helping reduce blood sugar levels, Xigduo XR can also reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure in adults who have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It is beneficial for patients who have known heart disease or other related risk factors.

In the long term, Xigduo XR can be very beneficial to patients’ health. It can prevent kidney damage, nerve problems, sexual dysfunction, and blindness. This medication is taken once a day, typically in the morning, along with food.

There are several medications that can treat type 2 diabetes. They include: 

Your doctor will carefully choose the medication that is right for you.

As of September 2022, the average retail cost of Xigduo XR is $641.78.

The average cost of Xigduo XR can depend on several factors. The patient’s location, the pharmacy’s location, dosage, and use of health insurance to cover the cost all factor in.

This price applies to all strengths of this medication.

Prescription drug coupons also offer savings on medications, but in many different ways than patient assistance programs do. While The Rx Advocates do not offer coupons, we still feel it is important for people to know how they work.

When a patient is given a prescription for Xigduo XR, they will typically go online to try to find a way to save money on it. Coupons may allow for short-term savings, but they are typically not worthwhile in the long run. 

Many coupons are only good for one month, or they do not offer the type of savings that can be obtained by working with patient assistance programs.
