From Optum Perks, read November 2, 2026, with no location set. Its page opens on this dose; other doses and pharmacies near you are priced there too. With insurance, check your co-pay first: it may be lower.
Authorized genericNot sold
There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Adrenalin 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.
Regular genericWho makes it
3 companies sell a generic of Adrenalin that the FDA rates a substitute. A pharmacy fills whichever one it stocks. To get a certain maker, ask for it by name; most pharmacies can order it in a day or two.
It’s mostly filled by specialty pharmacies. Your prescriber’s office or insurer can tell you which one to use.

What to say at the pharmacy
“Before you fill my Adrenalin, 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.
