What is cost-Very expensive-Is it covered by medicare?

I looked on GoodRx and the monthly cost is around $900. Not sure if insurance covers it.

I was unfamiliar with the med and looked it up. A couple things I discovered was that there is a patient support program provided by the manufacturer of the drug if you are uninsured. Visit Journavxpap.com to see if you are eligible. Also, it's a drug that is meant for short term use only. You should do some research and check with your doctor.

@kdks99, @heisenberg34 and @szeszko1940 were a few members who discussed this medication along with some apprehension for new medications when they first come to market.
