How to Get XOFLUZA

You have options for how to get your XOFLUZA prescription medication online or in-store.

 

One-dose XOFLUZA is a prescription medication designed to treat or prevent influenza (flu) in individuals aged 5 years and older within 2 days of symptoms or after exposure. Over-the-counter medicines just treat symptoms. Prescription XOFLUZA works differently, with only one dose to attack the flu virus at its source.

XOFLUZA is administered as a single-dose 40 or 80mg oral tablet. It is most effective when treatment begins as soon as possible, within 48 hours of flu symptom onset or exposure to the virus. The exact dosage is determined by your healthcare provider based on weight. Tell your healthcare provider about all medical conditions, before you receive a live flu vaccine, and about all of the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, antacids, laxatives, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

The most common side effects of  XOFLUZA include diarrhea, bronchitis, nausea, sinusitis, headache, and vomiting. Serious side effects may include allergic reactions, which may manifest as rash, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, throat, or mouth.

Patient’s out-of-pocket cost will vary by insurance, including their coverage, co-pay, deductible, and out-of-pocket max. XOFLUZA offers two ways to help patients afford treatment: (1) If a patient’s out-of-pocket cost is more than $35, the XOFLUZA Coupon can help. Eligible patients may pay as little as $35 for XOFLUZA (up to $70 off). (2) With the XOFLUZA $50 Cash Pay Option, eligible patients pay $50 if choosing to self-pay at select pharmacies. Terms & conditions apply.

XOFLUZA is available with a prescription in-store or online. The XOFLUZA product finder can help you identify pharmacy options that best meet your needs based on your zip code, including local pharmacies with likely availability, same-day, and mail delivery options.
