How does the EFFEXOR XR Co-Pay Card work at a retail pharmacy?
Every time you fill your EFFEXOR XR prescription at a retail pharmacy, provide your Co-Pay Card to the pharmacist. Patients who use their card at a pharmacy will pay a minimum of $4 per refill. By using the Card, patients will receive savings of up to $75 per refill. The Card is good for a maximum savings of $1000 per calendar year. Keep your card to use every time you refill your EFFEXOR XR prescription. The card is good until December 31, 2013.
How does the EFFEXOR XR (venlafaxine HCl) Co-Pay Card work for mail-order patients?
Mail-in redemptions have different terms and conditions than pharmacy redemptions. Patients who receive their prescription via a mail-order pharmacy program, for a 90-day supply, will pay the first $10 of the 90-day supply, and Pfizer will pay the remaining amount, up to $225, or the amount of your co-pay, for a maximum savings of $1000 per calendar year. The card is good until December 31, 2013. For a 60-day supply, you will pay the first $8 of the 60-day supply, and Pfizer will pay the remaining amount, up to $150 or the amount of your co-pay, for a total savings of $1000 per calendar year. The card is good until December 31, 2013. For each mail-order supply, you may request reimbursement via a mail-in rebate.

- All patients taking antidepressants should be watched closely for signs that their condition is getting worse or that they are becoming suicidal, especially when they first start therapy, or when their dose is increased or decreased. Patients should also be watched for becoming agitated, irritable, hostile, aggressive, impulsive, or restless. Such symptoms should be reported to the patient’s doctor right away.

- EFFEXOR XR may raise blood pressure in some patients. Your blood pressure should be controlled before starting treatment and should be monitored regularly.
- Taking EFFEXOR XR with aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, warfarin, or other drugs that affect coagulation may increase the risk of bleeding events.
- Mydriasis (prolonged dilation of the pupil of the eye) has been reported with EFFEXOR XR. You should notify your physician if you have a history of glaucoma or increased eye pressure.
- When people suddenly stop using or quickly lower their daily dose of EFFEXOR XR, discontinuation symptoms may occur. Talk to your doctor before discontinuing or reducing your dose of EFFEXOR XR.
- Pregnant or nursing women shouldn’t take any antidepressant without consulting their doctor.
- Until you see how EFFEXOR XR affects you, be careful doing such activities as driving a car or operating machinery. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking EFFEXOR XR.
