Nplate savings card: as little as $0 a dose with commercial insurance

How to pay the least

Ask for the cash price

Nplate

Nplate is a biologic. Biologics don’t have generics, but some have biosimilars or an unbranded version from the same maker. Ask your pharmacist or prescriber whether one is sold.

Ask your pharmacy for Nplate’s cash price, and one or two other pharmacies too.
Nplate’s savings card works only with insurance from a job or one you bought.

Free from the maker, if you qualify Amgen Safety Net Foundation. Amgen Safety Net Foundation income requirements are based on a percentage of the Federal Poverty Level, adjusted for household size. Or call 1-800-932-3060.

From the maker’s offer on nplate.com, checked November 2, 2026. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.

Maker’s card or discount card?

A discount card like GoodRx lowers the pharmacy’s cash price, but for a brand-name drug that price often stays high. Compare it with the maker’s card above. You can usually use one or the other on a fill, not both.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Nplate itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Nplate is the only choice; its maker’s savings card can lower what you pay.

Regular genericNot sold

Nplate is a biologic. Biologics don’t have generics, but some have biosimilars or an unbranded version from the same maker. Ask your pharmacist or prescriber whether one is sold. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, the maker’s savings card is the way to pay less.

What it’s used for

What the FDA label says

Nplate is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist indicated for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in:

Adult patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) who have had an insufficient response to corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, or splenectomy.
Pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with ITP for at least 6 months who have had an insufficient response to corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, or splenectomy.

Nplate is indicated to increase survival in adults and in pediatric patients (including term neonates) acutely exposed to myelosuppressive doses of radiation (Hematopoietic Syndrome of Acute Radiation Syndrome [HS-ARS]).

Limitations of Use:

Nplate is not indicated for the treatment of thrombocytopenia due to myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or any cause of thrombocytopenia other than ITP.
Nplate should be used only in patients with ITP whose degree of thrombocytopenia and clinical condition increases the risk for bleeding.
Nplate should not be used in an attempt to normalize platelet counts.

Good to know

“Commercial insurance” means a plan from a job, from the marketplace, or one you buy yourself. A retiree plan that’s part of Medicare counts as Medicare. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.
Most cards need a sign-up on the maker’s site, and many work only if your plan covers the drug. Then give the card’s details to your pharmacy.
Don’t stop or change a medicine without talking to your pharmacist or prescriber.
