Learn how to save money on Lacosamide in 2026. Compare prices, find coupons, discount cards, and patient assistance programs to cut costs.
If you take Lacosamide (brand name Vimpat) for epilepsy or seizures, you already know it's a medication you can't skip. But the cost can be a real burden—especially if you're paying out of pocket. Brand-name Vimpat can cost over $1,000 a month at retail. Even the generic version can run $300–$500 without a discount.
The good news? In 2026, there are more ways than ever to bring that price down. Generic Lacosamide is available from multiple manufacturers, and with the right coupon or assistance program, you may pay as little as $24–$45 per month. This guide breaks down every option so you can find the best price for your situation.
Let's start with the sticker prices so you know what you're working with:
That's a massive range. The difference between paying $500 and paying $30 often comes down to one thing: using a discount coupon or card. If you're not using one, you're almost certainly overpaying.

Prescription discount cards are free to use, and they work even if you have no insurance. They negotiate lower prices with pharmacies on your behalf. Here are the most popular options for Lacosamide:
SingleCare often has some of the lowest prices for generic Lacosamide. Prices vary by pharmacy, but you can typically find 60 tablets of generic Lacosamide for around $24–$40. Visit singlecare.com to look up your exact dose and zip code.
GoodRx is one of the best-known prescription discount platforms. Generic Lacosamide prices through GoodRx generally fall in the $25–$45 range for a 30-day supply, depending on the pharmacy. Visit goodrx.com to compare prices near you.
Prices can vary significantly between platforms and pharmacies, so it pays to compare. Other options include:
Tip: Always compare at least 2–3 discount cards before filling. Prices change frequently, and one card may save you $10–$20 more than another at the same pharmacy.
Discount cards typically cannot be combined with insurance. You use one or the other at the pharmacy counter. If your insurance copay for Lacosamide is higher than the discount card price, ask your pharmacist to run the discount card instead. This is perfectly legal and happens more often than you'd think.
UCB Pharma, the maker of brand-name Vimpat, offers two programs worth knowing about:
This program lets you purchase brand-name Vimpat directly for $84.99 for 60 tablets (or $79.99 per 60 tablets when ordering 180+ tablets). This is significantly less than the $1,000+ retail price. It's available regardless of insurance status.
If you're uninsured or underinsured and meet income requirements, you may qualify for free Vimpat through UCB Cares. You can apply online at ucb-usa.com or call 1-844-599-CARE. Your doctor's office may need to help with the application.
If you're struggling financially, several organizations can help you get Lacosamide at no cost or reduced cost:
Most patient assistance programs require you to demonstrate financial need (typically income below 200–400% of the federal poverty level) and to be a U.S. resident. Your prescriber usually needs to sign the application.
Many pharmacies and insurance plans offer a lower per-unit cost for 90-day fills compared with 30-day fills. If your insurance allows it—or if you're paying cash—request a 90-day supply to save money over time.
Prices for the same generic medication can vary by $50–$100 or more between pharmacies in the same city. Costco, Walmart, and independent pharmacies sometimes offer the lowest cash prices. Use a discount card comparison tool to check prices at multiple locations before filling.
Mail-order options like Cost Plus Drugs (costplusdrugs.com), Amazon Pharmacy (pharmacy.amazon.com), and Honeybee Health (honeybeehealth.com) may offer competitive pricing on generic Lacosamide. Note that because Lacosamide is a Schedule V controlled substance, some mail-order pharmacies may have additional requirements or restrictions.
In some cases, your doctor may be able to adjust your regimen in a way that uses fewer tablets. For example, if you're taking 150 mg twice daily (300 mg/day), your doctor might consider whether 100 mg twice daily (200 mg/day) would still control your seizures—reducing your monthly tablet count and cost. Never change your dose on your own. Always discuss this with your prescriber first.
Some states have pharmaceutical assistance programs for residents who don't qualify for Medicaid but struggle with medication costs. Contact your state's health department or visit needymeds.org to see if your state offers help.
