Vimpat Savings Guide
Vimpat (lacosamide) is an anti-epileptic prescribed to treat epilepsy in people at least 17 years of age. Epilepsy is a complex brain condition that can lead to painful and damaging seizures. Vimpat works by helping to regulating certain neurotransmitters (chemicals that allow nerves to communicate) in the brain.
There is a generic equivalent for Vimpat; ask your doctor about availability and if this equivalent is right for your condition. For uninsured patients who must take the brand name, a 30-day supply of Vimpat can cost as much as $100. Even insured patients have co-pays, and since there is no cure for epilepsy, patients can expect to be prescribed anti-epileptics over a long period of time.
Printing a free Vimpat coupon to use with your prescription is the first and easiest way to save money on this medication. You can also use the online comparison shopping tools to find the best prescription prices in your area. Just enter your zip code for a local readout of pharmacies near you.
