About This Medication

# CAMBIA Patient Guide: How to Get CAMBIA (diclofenac potassium) at Low or No Cost CAMBIA (diclofenac potassium) for oral solution is a prescription NSAID used to treat acute migraine attacks with or without aura in adults, but **no dedicated patient assistance program from manufacturer Nautilus Neurosciences Inc. appears to exist** based on available information. Instead, patients can access **co-pay savings cards, discount coupons from GoodRx, Kroger, Optum Perks, and support from independent foundations like HealthWell Foundation** to reduce costs significantly, often to $0 for commercially insured patients or as low as $5–$25 out-of-pocket with discounts[1][2][5][7][9]. ## About CAMBIA **CAMBIA** is a powdered oral solution containing **diclofenac potassium**, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Mix one packet in 2–4 ounces of water, rip it, sip it—it's designed for quick absorption to relieve migraine pain, nausea, sensitivity to light, and sound within 2 hours[1][2][3]. **Important limitations**: It treats **acute attacks only**, does not prevent migraines, and is **not for other headaches**. Use the **lowest effective dose for the shortest time**. A second dose's safety is unestablished[3]. **Serious warnings (Boxed Warning)**: NSAIDs like CAMBIA increase risks of **heart attack, stroke, fatal cardiovascular events** (higher with longer use or heart disease), **severe gastrointestinal bleeding/ulcers** (especially in older adults or with history), and **new/worsening heart failure**. **Never use before/after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery**. Common side effects: nausea, dizziness[1][3][4]. Always discuss risks with your doctor, especially if you have heart, liver, kidney issues, ulcers, or take blood thinners/antihypertensives[4]. ## Who Qualifies for Savings Options? No income-based manufacturer program is listed for CAMBIA, with **null details on income thresholds, FPL percentage, or family sizes**. However: - **Co-pay card**: Commercially insured adults pay **$0** via Scripts Rx (ask doctor to prescribe this way—no card needed)[2]. Downloadable savings card reduces copays[1][3]. - **Discount programs**: GoodRx, Kroger (up to 85% off), Optum Perks (up to 80% off, $5 delivery), available to **all patients regardless of insurance**—cash-pay prices ~$200–$400 for 9 packets drop to **$25–$100**[5][7][9]. - **HealthWell Foundation**: For those with **income at or below 500% FPL** (e.g., ~$75,000 individual), covers copays/deductibles for migraines. Apply online; at least **$5/month savings**[5]. ## Income Eligibility Breakdown | Household Size | Annual Income Limit (500% FPL example for HealthWell) | Notes | |---------------|-----------------------------------------------|-------| | Individual | ~$75,120 | Varies by program; co-pay cards ignore income. | | Couple | ~$101,880 | Independent foundations like HealthWell use FPL. | | Family of 3 | ~$128,640 | No manufacturer income program found. | | Family of 4 | ~$155,400 | Check HealthWell for migraines. | *2026 FPL estimates; verify current at aspe.hhs.gov. Co-pay/discounts have **no income requirements**[5]. ## Insurance Requirements - **Commercial insurance**: **Eligible for $0 copay** via Scripts Rx or savings card[2]. Some plans require **prior authorization** (PA): trial/failure of **2 generic NSAIDs** (e.g., ibuprofen + generic diclofenac), documentation of migraines[8]. - **Medicare**: **Not eligible** for co-pay cards (often excluded); use GoodRx discounts. PA may apply[8]. - **Uninsured**: Full discount program access (GoodRx, etc.). ## Step-by-Step Application 1. **Talk to your doctor**: Confirm CAMBIA prescription for migraines. Request **Scripts Rx** for $0 copay if commercially insured[2].
