About This Medication

# Zilxi Patient Assistance Guide: How to Get Zilxi at Low or No Cost Zilxi (minocycline topical foam, 1.5%) is a prescription treatment for inflammatory lesions of rosacea in adults, offered by Journey Medical Corporation. While there is no traditional patient assistance program (PAP) with income thresholds listed publicly, Journey Medical provides a **Zilxi Savings Card** for commercially insured patients to pay as little as **$25 per fill**, and potential additional support for uninsured or underinsured patients by contacting them directly[1][2][5][9]. ## About Zilxi **Zilxi** is the first and only FDA-approved topical minocycline foam for treating the red bumps and pimples (inflammatory lesions) associated with rosacea, a common skin condition affecting over 16 million Americans[7]. Unlike oral antibiotics, Zilxi is applied directly to the skin once daily, targeting inflammation without systemic side effects common with pills. It's a once-daily foam that's easy to apply—shake, part your hair if needed, and massage into affected areas. Common side effects include itching, redness, or burning at the application site, but it's generally well-tolerated. Always use as prescribed by your doctor[3][7]. Rosacea can be frustrating, causing facial flushing, visible blood vessels, and painful bumps. Zilxi helps reduce these lesions, improving skin appearance and confidence. Market research shows over 70% of rosacea patients seek better options like Zilxi[7]. ## Who Qualifies for Assistance? Journey Medical Corporation focuses on two main support options: 1. **Zilxi Savings Card**: For **commercially insured patients** (private or employer plans). Reduces copay to **$25 per prescription**. **Not valid** for Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, VA, or any government/federal programs[1][2][5][9][10]. 2. **Patient Support for Uninsured/Underinsured**: If you lack insurance or can't afford Zilxi even with discounts, contact Journey Medical at **1-844-375-3673**. They may offer case-by-case assistance. No specific income thresholds (e.g., FPL percentages) are publicly detailed, so eligibility depends on your situation—mention financial hardship, income, and prescription details[5][9]. Resources like NeedyMeds.org or RxAssist.org can help search for additional programs[5][6]. ## Income Eligibility Breakdown No formal PAP with fixed income limits exists in public records for Zilxi. The Savings Card has **no income requirements**—it's based on commercial insurance only.
