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 Adcirca itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. A regular generic is sold, with the same active ingredient: ask the pharmacy for its price.

    FDA label

The FDA doesn’t rate Accord Healthcare, Alembic Pharmaceuticals, Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Burel Pharmaceuticals, HEC Pharm, Nivagen Pharmaceuticals, NorthStar Rx, Umedica Laboratories, Unichem Pharmaceuticals, Upsher-Smith Laboratories and Zydus Lifesciences’s versions of tadalafil a substitute for Adcirca, so a pharmacy can’t swap them in without your prescriber’s OK.

What to say at the pharmacy

“Before you fill my Adcirca, can you tell me what I’d pay for the brand and for a generic?”

Paying cash? Ask for each one’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges for each.
