Xulane Coupon & Prices

Your monthly Xulane cost savings if eligible

The Xulane patient assistance program can provide your medication for free. We simply charge $49 per month for each medication to cover the cost of our services. With NiceRx, you will only pay $49 to obtain your Xulane, regardless of the retail price.

Am I eligible for the Xulane patient assistance program?

To find out if you are eligible for Xulane assistance you can apply online using our enrollment application. Each pharmaceutical company sets its eligibility criteria, and we will review your application individually to determine if you may be eligible. The three main factors to consider are:

• I am a permanent, legal resident of the United States or Puerto Rico
• I am uninsured or my insurance doesn’t cover my medication
• I meet certain income eligibility requirements

How do I apply for the Xulane patient assistance program?

Our application process aims to make it as easy as possible to apply for the Xulane patient assistance program. The first step is to complete our online enrollment application. We will ask you for details about your healthcare provider, your insurance plan, and your household income as this information is required by the pharmaceutical companies. We may be able to help you apply for other patient assistance programs too, so be sure to tell us about any medications you are taking as well as Xulane.

NiceRx will review your application and determine whether you may be eligible for Xulane assistance. If so, we will handle the full enrollment process for you and prepare all required documents for your healthcare provider to sign. Once you are successfully enrolled in the Xulane patient assistance program, we will help you manage your prescription refills by requesting refills on your behalf throughout your enrollment period. At the end of your enrollment period, we will contact you for updated information and seek to re-enroll you so you can continue to access affordable Xulane.

Is NiceRx a Xulane coupons provider?

NiceRx is a service provider that helps eligible individuals access the Xulane patient assistance program. We do not offer trial offers or free Xulane samples. When obtaining your medication through NiceRx, you will only pay $49 a month per medication. This will likely save you more money than if you were to use Xulane coupons, discount cards, or Xulane copay cards.

Can NiceRx help me get Xulane if I have insurance?

NiceRx may be able to help you if your insurance company will not pay for your Xulane medication. We may also be able to help if you have a high copay or coinsurance responsibility. Whether you have insurance or not, apply online using our enrollment application to find out more.

How much does Xulane cost without insurance?

Xulane prices without insurance will vary depending on how much you buy. Prices will also vary by retailer. As a guide, Xulane transdermal film, extended-release (35 mcg-150 mcg/24 hr) typically costs $60 for 3 films.

How much does Xulane cost with insurance?

The copay for Xulane will vary by the terms of your healthcare plan. To find out what you might need to pay for Xulane with insurance, your insurance provider or pharmacist will be able to help you calculate the copay costs with your current insurance.

What is Xulane?

Xulane is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. Xulane is a prescription birth control patch for women with a BMI less than 30 kg/m2. It is an estrogen/progestin combination hormonal contraceptive (CHC), indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women who elect to use a transdermal patch. Xulane may be less effective in preventing pregnancy in women at or above 198 lbs (90 kg).

Women over 35 years old who smoke should not use Xulane. Cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular events. There may be an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) among women who use the Xulane patch compared to women who use certain oral contraceptives.

The pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of ethinyl estradiol for the norelgestromin and ethinyl estradiol transdermal system is different from the PK profile for oral contraceptives in that it has a higher area under the time-concentration curve, steady-state concentrations, and lower peak concentrations. (The amount of estrogen you receive when using the patch is higher than the amount from most birth control pills. This may increase the risk for blood clots or other side effects from the patch compared to oral hormonal birth control pills).

What doses of Xulane are available?

Xulane is available in a transdermal system form, in the following doses: 150 mcg/day norelgestromin and 35 mcg/day ethinyl estradiol.

Xulane uses a 28-day cycle. Apply a new patch to the upper outer arm, abdomen, buttock, or back each week for 3 weeks (21 total days). Week 4 is patch-free. Apply each new patch on the same day of the week. Wear only one patch at a time, and do not cut or alter the patch in any way.

It’s best to choose an area where the patch won’t be rubbed by tight clothing or bra straps. Don’t put the patch on your breasts. Avoid using lotion, makeup, or other skin products on the area where you’ve put the patch.

Use a backup birth control method (such as a condom with a spermicide) for your first week of Xulane treatment. Always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice or about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
