Savings Program FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions about the ABILIFY Savings Program.


Your Pathway to Savings

How can I save each month with brand-name ABILIFY?

The ABILIFY Savings Program was designed so that eligible, commercially insured patients can reduce their out-of-pocket costs for ABILIFY. Patients may be able to get brand-name ABILIFY for less than the cost of a generic. 

You can get a Savings Card and pay as little as $5 for each fill of brand-name ABILIFY at your retail pharmacy.

About the $5 Savings Card Option (for Retail Pharmacies)

How can I get a Savings Card?

You can choose between 2 different options to get a Savings Card.

  1. If you prefer an eCard that you can store on your mobile device, you can text FIVE to 37500 and follow the text prompts to receive your eCard.
  2. You can also choose to download and print a card here.

Now that I have received my Savings Card, does that mean I’m eligible to pay as little as $5 a month?

No, you still need to show your Savings Card to your pharmacist (along with your prescription for brand-name ABILIFY).
Your pharmacist will be able to tell you if you are eligible. Note: your Savings Card only works with brand-name ABILIFY.
Assumes one 30-day supply prescription per month. If more than one prescription is filled in a calendar month, you may pay more than $5 in that month. See other terms and conditions.

How do I use my Savings Card?

  1. Present your Savings Card (along with your prescription for brand-name ABILIFY) to your pharmacy. If your prescription was sent electronically to your pharmacy, check to make sure your ABILIFY prescription was not switched to a generic option. If it was switched, ask the pharmacist to reprocess your prescription for brand-name ABILIFY. Pharmacy rules or local laws may apply. Remember: your Savings Card only works for brand-name ABILIFY.
  2. Tell your pharmacist you want brand-name ABILIFY for every refill so you can save each month.
  3. Each time you pick up, check your prescription bottle and receipt to ensure you received brand-name ABILIFY and paid $5.

After the first time you use your Savings Card, the information should be stored in the computer system of your pharmacy. However, if you change pharmacies, you’ll need to take your Savings Card with you. If you need another copy, you can simply download a new card.

I already have a printed Savings Card, but I would prefer to have an eCard on my mobile device. How can I switch?

You can easily switch to an eCard by texting FIVE to 37500. Follow the text prompts to receive your eCard. Show your pharmacist your new card the next time you need a refill.

My pharmacist said I’m not eligible. Why?

To be eligible for the ABILIFY Savings Card Program, you must have commercial prescription insurance. In addition, you must have a valid ABILIFY prescription. You are not eligible if you are covered in whole or in part by any state or federally funded programs, including, but not limited to, Medicare, Medicaid (including Medicaid managed care), Medigap, VA, DOD, or TRICARE. See full terms and conditions.

Can I still save if I use a mail order pharmacy?

It depends on the mail order pharmacy. You should call your mail order company first to see if they will accept the Savings Card.

What if my pharmacy doesn't have brand-name ABILIFY in stock?

Before you fill your prescription, be sure to ask if your pharmacy has brand-name ABILIFY in stock. If they do not, you can request it. If your pharmacy no longer stocks ABILIFY, ask your doctor to recommend another local pharmacy. Keep in mind, the Savings Card can only be used for brand-name ABILIFY.

Where can I use my savings card?

Can I use my Savings Card for a generic of ABILIFY?

No. The Savings Card can only be used for brand-name ABILIFY. If your prescription was sent electronically to your pharmacy, check to make sure your ABILIFY prescription was not switched to a generic option. Each time you pick up, check your prescription bottle and receipt to ensure you received brand-name ABILIFY and paid $5.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION and INDICATIONS for ABILIFY®(aripiprazole)

 

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:

Elderly people with psychosis related to dementia (for example, an inability to perform daily activities as a result of increased memory loss), treated with antipsychotic medicines including ABILIFY, are at an increased risk of death compared to placebo. ABILIFY is not approved for the treatment of people with dementia-related psychosis (see BOXED WARNING).

Antidepressant medicines may increase suicidal thoughts or behaviors in some children, teenagers, and young adults, especially within the first few months of treatment or when the dose is changed. Depression and other serious mental illnesses are themselves associated with an increase in the risk of suicide. Patients on antidepressants and their families or caregivers should watch for new or worsening depression symptoms, unusual changes in behavior, or thoughts of suicide. Such symptoms should be reported to the patient’s healthcare provider right away, especially if they are severe or occur suddenly. ABILIFY is not approved for use in pediatric patients with depression (see BOXED WARNING).

Do not take ABILIFY if you are allergic to aripiprazole or any of the ingredients in ABILIFY. Allergic reactions have ranged from rash, hives, and itching to anaphylaxis, which may include difficulty breathing, tightness in the chest, and swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue.

ABILIFY may cause serious side effects, including:

  • Stroke in elderly people (cerebrovascular problems) that can lead to death
  • Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have some or all of the following symptoms: high fever, stiff muscles, confusion, sweating, changes in pulse, heart rate, and blood pressure. These may be symptoms of a rare and serious condition that can lead to death. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any of these symptoms.
  • Uncontrolled body movements (tardive dyskinesia). ABILIFY may cause movements that you cannot control in your face, tongue, or other body parts. Tardive dyskinesia may not go away, even if you stop receiving ABILIFY. Tardive dyskinesia may also start after you stop receiving ABILIFY.
  • Problems with your metabolism such as:

    • High blood sugar (hyperglycemia) and diabetes. Increases in blood sugar can happen in some people who take ABILIFY. Extremely high blood sugar can lead to coma or death. If you have diabetes or risk factors for diabetes (such as being overweight or a family history of diabetes), your healthcare provider should check your blood sugar before you start ABILIFY and during your treatment.

      Call your healthcare provider if you have any of these symptoms of high blood sugar while receiving ABILIFY:
      • feel very thirsty
      • need to urinate more than usual
      • feel very hungry
      • feel weak or tired
      • feel sick to your stomach
      • feel confused, or your breath smells fruity
    • Increased fat levels (cholesterol and triglycerides) in your blood.
    • Weight gain. You and your healthcare provider should check your weight regularly.
  • Unusual urges. Some people taking ABILIFY have had unusual urges, such as gambling, binge eating or eating that you cannot control (compulsive), compulsive shopping and sexual urges. If you or your family members notice that you are having unusual urges or behaviors, talk to your healthcare provider.
  • Orthostatic hypotension (decreased blood pressure). Lightheadedness or fainting may happen when rising too quickly from a sitting or lying position.
  • Falls. Taking ABILIFY may make you sleepy or dizzy, cause a decrease in your blood pressure when changing position, or slow your thinking and motor skills which may lead to falls that can cause fractures or other injuries.
  • Low white blood cell count
  • Seizures (convulsions)
  • Problems with control of your body temperature especially when you exercise a lot or are in an area that is very hot. It is important for you to drink water to avoid dehydration. Avoid getting over-heated or dehydrated. Do not over-exercise. In hot weather, stay inside in a cool place if possible. Stay out of the sun. Do not wear too much or heavy clothing. Drink plenty of water.
  • Difficulty swallowing that can cause food or liquid to get into your lungs.

Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or do other dangerous activities until you know how ABILIFY affects you. ABILIFY may make you drowsy.

Before taking ABILIFY, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you have or had:

  • diabetes or high blood sugar in you or your family; your healthcare provider should check your blood sugar before you start ABILIFY and also during therapy.
  • seizures (convulsions).
  • low or high blood pressure.
  • heart problems or stroke.
  • pregnancy or plans to become pregnant. It is not known if ABILIFY will harm your unborn baby. If you become pregnant while taking ABILIFY, talk to your healthcare provider about registering with the National Pregnancy Registry for Atypical Antipsychotics. You can register by calling 1-866-961-2388 or go to http://womensmentalhealth.org/clinical-and-research-programs/pregnancyregistry/
  • breast-feeding or plans to breast-feed. ABILIFY can pass into your breast milk and may harm your baby. Talk to your healthcare provider about the best way to feed your baby if you receive ABILIFY.
  • low white blood cell count.
  • phenylketonuria. ABILIFY DISCMELT® Orally Disintegrating Tablets contain phenylalanine.

For patients who must limit their sugar intake, ABILIFY Oral Solution contains sugar.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines that you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

ABILIFY and other medicines may affect each other causing possible serious side effects. ABILIFY may affect the way other medicines work, and other medicines may affect how ABILIFY works. Do not start or stop any medicines while taking ABILIFY without talking to your healthcare provider first.

The most common side effects of ABILIFY in adults include: nausea, vomiting, constipation, headache, blurred vision, upper respiratory illness, dizziness, anxiety, insomnia, restlessness, and inner sense of restlessness or need to move (akathisia).

The most common side effects of ABILIFY in children include: feeling sleepy, headache, vomiting, fatigue, increased or decreased appetite, increased saliva or drooling, insomnia, nausea, stuffy nose, weight gain, uncontrolled movement such as restlessness or tremor, and muscle stiffness.

It is important to contact your healthcare provider if you experience prolonged, abnormal muscle spasms or contractions, which may be signs of a condition called dystonia.
