Ways to lower your cost

  • Use a discount card (GoodRx, SingleCare, RxSaver) — often cheaper than insurance for generics.
  • Ask your prescriber about 90-day fills, which usually have a lower per-dose price.
  • Check the manufacturer's website for a copay card if a brand-name version is needed.
  • Mail-order pharmacies are typically 10-30% cheaper than retail for chronic medications.
