About This Medication

# Slynd Patient Savings Program Guide: How to Get Slynd (drospirenone) at Low or No Cost Slynd (drospirenone) is an **estrogen-free progestin-only oral contraceptive** approved by the FDA in 2019, offering effective birth control with a unique 24 active + 4 placebo pill regimen and a 24-hour missed pill window.[8] The **Slynd Patient Savings Program** from Exeltis USA helps eligible patients pay as little as **$25 for a 1-month or 3-month supply**, primarily through a copay savings card for commercially insured patients.[1][2] ## About Slynd Slynd provides a hormone-free alternative to estrogen-containing birth control pills, reducing risks associated with estrogen for many women.[8] It's taken daily with a flexible missed-pill window, making it suitable for those who may forget a dose occasionally. Common uses include preventing pregnancy, and it's not recommended for those with certain conditions like breast cancer, liver disease, or unexplained vaginal bleeding—always consult your healthcare provider.[8] Without assistance, Slynd can cost $150–$250 per month out-of-pocket.[3] ## Who Qualifies for the Program? The primary offering is the **Slynd Savings Card**, not a traditional free medication program with income limits. Eligibility focuses on insurance status:[1][2][3][5] - **Commercially insured patients** (private insurance): Pay $0–$25 per fill after using the card.[1][3] - **Cash-paying patients** (uninsured): May pay around $35 for 1-month or under $60 for 3-month supply, varying by pharmacy.[2] - **Excluded**: Medicare, Medicaid, or any federal/state government-funded programs.[2][5][6] Exeltis mentions a separate **Patient Assistance Program** for uninsured/underinsured patients, likely with income eligibility (details via direct contact), but specifics like FPL thresholds are unavailable here.[3] No income limits apply to the copay card itself.[2] ## Income Eligibility Breakdown The copay card has **no income thresholds**—it's insurance-based.
