Current Promotions for Tigecycline
No active promotions, discounts, or rebate programs for tigecycline (brand name Tygacil) appear in manufacturer announcements, pharmacy databases, or patient assistance sites as of the latest checks. Pfizer, the maker, runs general savings cards for eligible branded drugs, but Tygacil is not listed on their current portal.[1]
Patient Assistance Programs
Pfizer offers Pfizer RxPathways for uninsured or underinsured patients, covering copays or free meds for incomes up to 400-800% of federal poverty level. Tygacil qualifies for some pathways, but eligibility requires application—no open promotions.[2] Check Connection to Care for hospital-specific tigecycline access.
Generic Availability and Pricing Deals
Tigecycline generics from Mylan, Sandoz, and others launched post-2015 patent expiry, driving down costs. Average wholesale price is $100-200 per 50mg vial, with GPO contracts for hospitals offering volume discounts (not public promotions).[3] Pharmacy sites like GoodRx show coupons cutting cash prices 10-20% at chains like Walmart, but these are standard, not tigecycline-specific.[4]
Hospital and Bulk Buyer Incentives
Vizient and Premier members report negotiated tigecycline pricing below AWP via group purchasing, often bundled with IV antibiotics. No broad 2023-2024 promotions; shortages in 2023 led to temporary allocations rather than deals.[5]
When Do Promotions Typically Run?
Antibiotic promotions tie to stewardship campaigns or shortage resolutions, like post-COVID IV drug pushes. Monitor ASHP or FDA shortage lists for triggers; none active now.
