Am I eligible for the Focalin XR patient assistance program?

To be enrolled in the patient assistance program, you will need to meet the eligibility criteria for Focalin XR assistance. At NiceRx, we review each Focalin XR assistance program application individually, but most programs will consider the following key factors:

  • I am uninsured or my insurance doesn’t cover my medication
  • I meet certain income eligibility requirements

How do I apply for the Focalin XR patient assistance program? 

Our application process is simple, straightforward, and stress-free. Every new application will start with our online enrollment application form. You will need to provide full details of any medications you’re currently taking alongside Focalin XR, as well as details about your healthcare provider, your insurance plan, and your household income. This information is required by the pharmaceutical manufacturers who ship your medication, meaning it must be accurate and complete. 

Once NiceRx determines that you may be eligible for Focalin XR assistance, we will handle the full patient assistance program enrollment process for you, by working alongside your healthcare provider. When you’re enrolled in the Focalin XR patient assistance program, we’ll also request your Focalin XR medication refills on your behalf for up to one year.

We may be able to assist in a variety of situations. You can apply online through NiceRx even if your insurance company won’t pay for your Focalin XR medication, or you have a high copay or coinsurance responsibility. We may even be able to assist if you have insurance that doesn’t cover Focalin XR. 

How much is Focalin XR with insurance?

The cost of Focalin XR with insurance will depend on the terms of your healthcare plan. Speak to your insurance provider or pharmacist to calculate your copay with your current insurance.

How much does Focalin XR cost without insurance?

Focalin XR prices without insurance will vary depending on the amount and the dose you buy, and where you buy the medication from. As a guide, a pack of 30, 20 mg Focalin XR tablets will cost around $480. With NiceRx you’ll always pay a flat monthly fee of $49.

What is Focalin XR?

Focalin XR is a medication prescribed to adults and children six years and older to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). ADHD is a condition that causes your brain to develop differently during your childhood and adolescence. These differences can affect your brain activity and cause problems with paying attention and impulse control, give you excess energy, and create difficulties with controlling your emotions.

ADHD can’t be cured, but it can be managed with treatments that reduce symptoms. You take Focalin XR as a tablet you swallow, usually once a day in the morning. If taken regularly, it can increase your attention and reduce impulsiveness, hyperactivity, and other symptoms. You’ll likely see the best results if Focalin XR is included in a holistic treatment program that includes counseling and other therapies alongside medication.

Focalin XR active ingredients

The active ingredient in Focalin XR is called dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride. It’s a central nervous system stimulant that increases activity in certain regions of your brain. It works by increasing the concentration of natural chemicals in your brain called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters allow your brain cells to communicate with each other and they regulate areas of brain activity.

Dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride increases concentrations of neurotransmitters called dopamine and norepinephrine. They help regulate areas of the brain involved with motivation, reward, memory, attention, amongst others. This has been shown to improve attention and reduced impulsivity and alleviate other symptoms of ADHD.

  • Priapism – prolonged and painful erections that can result in tissue damage
  • Circulation problems in fingers and toes
  • A slowing and stunting of growth in children

When you take Focalin XR alongside other medications, they can interact sometimes changing how Focalin XR and the other medications work and making some side effects more likely. These include:

  • Other ADHD medications
  • A monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) antidepressant
  • Any other antidepressant medications
  • Any blood pressure medications
  • Anesthesia (don’t take Focalin XR on the day you have an operation)
