Common questions about Triumeq’s cost

Here are some common questions and answers about Triumeq.

How does the cost of Triumeq compare with the cost of Biktarvy?

Triumeq and Biktarvy are both brand-name combination medications that are prescribed to treat HIV infection in adults and certain children. They’re alike in some ways and different in other ways.

Triumeq contains the active ingredients dolutegravir, lamivudine, and abacavir. It comes as an oral tablet that you swallow. It also comes as a tablet that you mix with water to form an oral suspension (a type of liquid mixture).

Biktarvy contains the active ingredients bictegravir, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide. It comes only as an oral tablet.

Doctors consider many factors other than cost when choosing the best HIV medication for you. These include:

• HIV medications you’ve taken in the past and how well they worked for you
• other health conditions you may have
• other medications you may be taking
• the most common side effects of each medication

The amount you’ll pay for Triumeq or Biktarvy depends mostly on whether you have health insurance and the terms of your plan.

Talk with your doctor about which HIV medication is best for you. Then, you can talk with your insurance provider and the local pharmacy about how you can lower your prescription cost.

Does the manufacturer offer a copay card or an assistance program to help with the cost of Triumeq?

Yes. You can contact ViiV Healthcare and check the product website for Triumeq to explore the cost-saving options offered by the manufacturer.

If you have commercial health insurance, you may be eligible for a savings card that will help with copay costs. If you do not have commercial health insurance, you can ask about other savings or assistance programs that may be available.

You can also talk with your doctor, insurance provider, and pharmacist about ways to lower the cost of your HIV medication.
