About This Medication

# Supernus Support Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get Oxtellar XR at Low or No Cost Oxtellar XR (oxcarbazepine extended-release) is a prescription medication used to treat partial seizures in adults and children 6 years and older with epilepsy. The **Supernus Support Patient Assistance Program** from **Supernus Pharmaceuticals** helps eligible uninsured or underinsured patients access Oxtellar XR at low or no cost by providing free medication.[3][2] ## About Oxtellar XR **Oxtellar XR** is an anticonvulsant that works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain to prevent seizures. It's taken once daily, making it convenient for epilepsy management. Common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, and fatigue. Always follow your doctor's instructions and report any serious side effects like mood changes or allergic reactions. This program ensures financial barriers don't prevent access to this important treatment.[3] ## Who Qualifies? The program targets **uninsured or underinsured patients** who cannot afford their medication. Key eligibility factors include: - US residency (citizen or legal resident). - Treatment by a US-licensed physician as an outpatient. - Limited financial resources, typically based on **Federal Poverty Level (FPL)** guidelines for low-income patients. - No enrollment in government programs like Medicare Part D in some cases, though specifics vary.[1][2][3][5] **Income Eligibility Breakdown** Specific income thresholds are not publicly detailed on the official site, but programs like this generally use FPL percentages (e.g., 400-500% of FPL). Contact Supernus Support for your situation. Here's a general FPL table for 2026 (approximate; verify current guidelines): | Household Size | 100% FPL | 300% FPL | 400% FPL | |----------------|----------|----------|----------| | 1 (Individual) | $15,060 | $45,180 | $60,240 | | 2 (Couple) | $20,440 | $61,320 | $81,760 | | 3 | $25,820 | $77,460 | $103,280| | 4 | $31,200 | $93,600 | $124,800| *Notes: Add ~$5,380 per additional person. Eligibility often at or below 400-500% FPL. Provide proof of income for review.*[1][5] ## Insurance Requirements Eligible patients are typically **uninsured** or **underinsured** (e.g., high copays/deductibles).
