About This Medication

# Lundbeck Patient Assistance Programs for Sabril (Vigabatrin): How to Get Your Medication at Low or No Cost ## About Sabril (Vigabatrin) Sabril (vigabatrin) is a prescription seizure medication used to treat two specific conditions: refractory complex partial seizures in adults and children 2 years and older, and infantile spasms in infants and young children.[1][6] Because Sabril carries a risk of permanent vision loss, it is only available through a restricted distribution program called the Vigabatrin REMS Program, which requires prescriber certification and periodic vision monitoring.[1][8] ## Who Qualifies for Lundbeck Patient Assistance Lundbeck offers multiple assistance programs for Sabril patients, each with different eligibility requirements: **Sabril StarterRx Program**: Available to new, commercially insured patients ages 1 month to 2 years diagnosed with infantile spasms.[2] This program provides a free starter prescription while your insurance benefits and payment assistance are being processed. **Sabril Copay Assistance Program**: Available to commercially insured patients whose insurance covers Sabril but who still have out-of-pocket costs.[2] You are not eligible if you are uninsured (self-pay) or if your prescription is eligible for reimbursement through Medicare, Medicaid, Medigap, VA, DOD, or TRICARE. **General Patient Assistance**: Lundbeck may be able to help patients having trouble paying for their medication through additional support services.[1] ## Insurance Requirements Most Lundbeck assistance programs require active commercial insurance coverage. Specifically: - **Copay Assistance**: Only available to commercially insured patients whose insurance provides coverage for Sabril[2] - **StarterRx Program**: Only for commercially insured patients ages 1 month to 2 years with infantile spasms[2] - **Medicare/Medicaid**: Patients with Medicare, Medicaid, or other state/federal health program coverage are generally not eligible for copay assistance programs[2] - **Employer-Sponsored Plans**: Medicare-eligible patients enrolled in employer-sponsored health plans or prescription drug plans may have additional restrictions[2] If you have public insurance or are uninsured, contact Lundbeck directly to discuss alternative assistance options. ## Income Eligibility The search results do not specify income thresholds for Lundbeck's Sabril assistance programs. Income eligibility information is not publicly detailed in available materials. Contact Lundbeck's SHAREPlus Coordinating Center directly for information about income-based assistance. ## How to Apply **Step 1: Obtain a Prescription** Your healthcare provider must be certified with the Vigabatrin REMS Program to prescribe Sabril.[8] Your provider will explain the REMS requirements and vision monitoring needs. **Step 2: Choose Your Application Method** Your prescriber can submit your prescription through one of two methods: - Complete the optional Sabril Prescription Form and fax it to Lundbeck's SHAREPlus program[1] - Send your prescription directly to a certified pharmacy that dispenses Sabril[5] **Step 3: Provide Required Information** When applying, you will need to provide: - Your valid Sabril prescription[2] - Proof of commercial insurance coverage - Information about your insurance benefits and coverage status - Authorization for Lundbeck to communicate with your healthcare providers and health plans about your benefits[6] **Step 4: Enrollment Confirmation** Once enrolled in the assistance program, you will receive confirmation and information about your specific benefits and out-of-pocket costs. ## Program Benefits and Out-of-Pocket Costs **Copay Assistance Program**: Eligible patients must pay a minimum of $10 out-of-pocket per 30-day prescription.[2] A maximum benefit limit may apply, and you are responsible for any costs exceeding Lundbeck's established cap. **StarterRx Program**: Provides a free one-time supply of up to 30 days while benefits investigation is ongoing.[6] **Generic Alternative**: Teva's generic vigabatrin tablets may offer copay card assistance, with some commercially insured patients potentially paying as little as $0 out of pocket, though maximum program assistance per prescription and annual benefits apply.[9] ## Timeline and Medication Delivery The search results do not specify exact processing times for applications. However, the StarterRx Program allows eligible patients to receive a free starter prescription while benefits investigation is ongoing, suggesting that initial medication access can be expedited.[6] Sabril is available only through certain specialty pharmacies and inpatient pharmacies.[5] Your prescription will be forwarded by SHAREPlus to a certified pharmacy for fulfillment.[6] ## What Happens If Your Application Is Denied If you are denied assistance through Lundbeck's programs, consider these alternatives: - **Generic Vigabatrin**: Ask your prescriber about generic vigabatrin, which may have separate copay assistance programs through manufacturers like Teva[9] - **Contact Lundbeck Directly**: Call or visit www.Sabril.net to discuss your specific situation and explore other assistance options - **Discuss with Your Healthcare Provider**: Your provider may have additional resources or alternative treatment options to discuss - **State Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs**: Some states offer medication assistance programs that may help ## Important Disclaimers This guide provides general information about Lundbeck's patient assistance programs for Sabril.
