Lacosamide can cost over $1,000/month without insurance. Learn how to save with coupons, discount cards, and patient assistance programs in 2026.
If you've ever looked at the cash price of Lacosamide (brand name Vimpat) and felt your stomach drop, you're not alone. The retail price for a 30-day supply of brand-name Vimpat can exceed $1,000. Even generic Lacosamide, while significantly cheaper, can still run $300 to $500 per month at full retail without a coupon or insurance.
The good news? There are several proven ways to bring that cost down dramatically — sometimes to under $25 per month. Here's everything you need to know about saving money on Lacosamide in 2026.
Let's start with the numbers:
The difference between retail and coupon prices is staggering. That's why using a discount program is essential if you're paying out of pocket.
Free prescription discount cards can reduce the cost of generic Lacosamide by up to 95%. Here are the most popular options:
GoodRx consistently offers some of the lowest prices for generic Lacosamide. As of 2026, you can find generic Lacosamide for as low as $22 to $30 for 60 tablets at pharmacies like Costco, CVS, and Walmart. Simply show the GoodRx coupon at the pharmacy counter — no sign-up required.
SingleCare offers competitive pricing, often in the $25 to $40 range for a 30-day supply. SingleCare coupons are accepted at over 35,000 pharmacies nationwide.
Optum Perks (formerly SearchRx) provides free coupons with prices typically between $25 and $45 per month for generic Lacosamide.
RxSaver compares prices across multiple pharmacies and discount programs, making it easy to find the best deal near your zip code.
Pro tip: Prices vary significantly between pharmacies — even with the same coupon. Always compare prices at 3-4 pharmacies before filling your prescription. Costco and independent pharmacies often have the lowest prices.
If you can't find generic Lacosamide or prefer the brand-name version, UCB (the manufacturer of Vimpat) offers a Direct-to-Patient Program:
This is significantly cheaper than the retail price of $1,000+ for brand-name Vimpat. The program ships directly to your home.
If you have commercial insurance but your copay is still high, UCB offers a copay assistance program for Vimpat. Eligible patients may pay as little as $0 to $25 per month for their prescription. This program is not available to patients on Medicare, Medicaid, or other government-funded insurance.
If you're uninsured or underinsured and can't afford Lacosamide, the UCB Cares program may provide Vimpat for free. Eligibility is based on income — generally for patients earning below 400% of the federal poverty level.
How to apply:
NeedyMeds.org maintains a database of patient assistance programs, including those for Lacosamide/Vimpat. They also offer a free drug discount card.
RxAssist.org is another comprehensive resource for finding patient assistance programs. Search for Lacosamide to find all available programs.
Many insurance plans and discount programs offer better per-pill pricing on 90-day supplies. If you're stable on your dose, ask your doctor for a 90-day prescription.
Mail-order pharmacies like Amazon Pharmacy, Costco Mail Order, and your insurance plan's preferred mail-order pharmacy can offer lower prices and the convenience of home delivery.
Sometimes different tablet strengths have similar prices. If you take 200 mg twice daily, check whether two 100 mg tablets cost less than one 200 mg tablet (or vice versa). Your pharmacist can help with this comparison.
Some states offer their own programs to help residents afford medications. Check with your state's health department to see if you qualify.
No one should have to choose between their seizure medication and their bills. With generic Lacosamide available for as low as $22 per month through discount coupons, and UCB's patient assistance program offering free medication to those who qualify, there are real options available.
Start by comparing prices with a free coupon from GoodRx, SingleCare, or Optum Perks. If you're still struggling, contact UCB Cares directly for assistance.
