Don’t let the high cost of brand fixed-ratio basal insulin/GLP-1 RA combination therapy disrupt your diabetes management. We help eligible patients access Soliqua (insulin glargine/lixisenatide) for as little as $69.95 per month through the manufacturer’s Patient Assistance Program.
The Soliqua Prescription Assistance Program is a manufacturer-sponsored initiative that provides Soliqua at little or no medication cost to qualifying patients based on income and insurance status. The program is designed for type 2 diabetes patients requiring intensified therapy who are uninsured or underinsured.
Navigating the program on your own means dealing with eligibility verification, endocrinology/primary care coordination, prior-authorization documentation, and renewal deadlines.
AffordMyPrescriptions eliminates that burden. For a flat $69.95 per month, our Patient Advocates handle every step of your enrollment, from initial application through ongoing refill coordination and annual re-certification.

The Patient Assistance Program is free to apply for and provides Soliqua at no medication cost if approved. Our $69.95/month service covers full advocacy. With biosimilar insulin glargine (Semglee, Rezvoglar) available at much lower cost and Medicare’s $35/month insulin cap, we’ll help your provider determine the best path.
Complete a simple eligibility form so our team can determine if you may qualify for medication assistance programs.
Our specialists help gather documentation, complete applications, and coordinate with program providers.
Once approved, you may receive your medication through the assistance program while we help manage ongoing paperwork and renewals.

Eligibility is generally determined by annual household income and insurance status. Most programs follow guidelines that include limits of up to $40,000 for individuals, $60,000 for couples, and $100,000 for larger families. Because requirements vary by program and household, we encourage you to contact AffordMyPrescriptions directly so we can review your specific situation and determine if you qualify for Soliqua assistance.

Selzentry (maraviroc) is a twice-daily oral CCR5 co-receptor antagonist used as a component of HIV-1 antiretroviral therapy. It blocks HIV entry into CD4 T-cells by binding the CCR5 co-receptor that CCR5-tropic HIV uses to enter cells. It is primarily used in treatment-experienced patients with limited remaining options.
How Soliqua Works:
Soliqua combines a long-acting basal insulin and a short-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist into a single injection to improve type 2 diabetes control with less weight gain and hypoglycemia than escalating insulin alone. Insulin glargine provides 24-hour basal coverage to control fasting glucose, while lixisenatide targets post-meal glucose by slowing gastric emptying, increasing glucose-dependent insulin secretion, and reducing glucagon. The fixed-ratio combination simplifies treatment by titrating both components proportionally, with dosing based strictly on the insulin component.
Form and use:
Soliqua is administered as a single daily subcutaneous injection, given within one hour before the first meal of the day. It is available in prefilled SoloStar pens, with a typical daily dosing range spanning from 15 to 60 units. Dose titration is based primarily on the patient’s fasting glucose levels, following a process similar to titrating insulin glargine by itself. Patients must rotate their injection sites with each dose to maintain skin health.
Generic availability:
As of 2026, there is no biosimilar version of Soliqua available in the United States. A similar fixed-ratio alternative on the market is Xultophy, which combines insulin degludec and liraglutide. While Soliqua itself lacks a generic, its individual components can be used separately; insulin glargine has lower-cost biosimilars like Semglee and Rezvoglar, and various standalone short- or long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonists are widely available.
Warnings:
Soliqua carries warnings for both of its active components, including standard insulin risks like hypoglycemia, hypokalemia, and fluid retention when combined with TZDs. Its GLP-1 receptor agonist component carries a Boxed Warning for thyroid C-cell tumors, making the drug contraindicated in patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2. Additional risks include rare but serious pancreatitis, severe gastrointestinal side effects that can lead to acute kidney injury from dehydration, acute gallbladder disease, and worsening diabetic retinopathy.
Brand Soliqua costs approximately $700–$900 per 5-pen pack (one month). Medicare Part D beneficiaries pay $35/month maximum for covered insulin (which includes Soliqua). Through AffordMyPrescriptions, qualifying patients receive Soliqua at no medication cost — our $69.95 monthly fee covers full advocacy and program management.
Type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on basal insulin often benefits from adding a GLP-1 RA — which lowers A1c further with less weight gain and less hypoglycemia than escalating insulin alone. Combining them in one daily injection (Soliqua or Xultophy) simplifies the regimen — but limits flexibility (can’t independently titrate insulin and GLP-1 RA). Some patients prefer separate insulin and a more potent GLP-1 RA (Ozempic, Mounjaro).
Both are fixed-ratio basal insulin/GLP-1 RA combinations. Soliqua = insulin glargine + lixisenatide (short-acting GLP-1 RA, dosed once daily before first meal). Xultophy = insulin degludec + liraglutide (longer-acting GLP-1 RA, dosing time flexible). Choice depends on patient preference, insurance coverage, and provider familiarity. Liraglutide may have slightly stronger glycemic effects than lixisenatide.
Possibly. Ozempic (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide — a dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist) are more potent GLP-1 RA-class agents than lixisenatide — typically producing greater A1c reduction and more weight loss. For type 2 diabetes patients with significant cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, or substantial weight to lose, the more potent GLP-1 RAs are often preferred — alongside separate basal insulin if needed. Discuss with your provider whether your regimen is optimal.
Effective January 1, 2023, Medicare Part D capped patient out-of-pocket cost at $35/month per covered insulin product, including insulin combination products like Soliqua. Most Medicare beneficiaries pay $35/month for Soliqua under Part D.
The main GLP-1 RA side effects (nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, occasional diarrhea) are present with Soliqua — typically prominent at start of therapy or with dose increases, then improving over time. Insulin-related hypoglycemia is possible (monitor BG; carry rapid glucose). Severe pancreatitis is rare but possible — tell your provider about severe abdominal pain. Avoid Soliqua if personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer.
If denied, we explore alternatives — switching to biosimilar insulin glargine (Semglee, Rezvoglar) plus a generic or branded GLP-1 RA separately, switching to Xultophy or to standalone Ozempic/Trulicity/Mounjaro plus basal insulin, the manufacturer’s copay program for commercially insured patients, Medicare $35/month cap if applicable, or independent foundations such as the American Diabetes Association, JDRF, or PAN Foundation. If we cannot find a path, you won’t be charged our service fee.
