In the maker’s words

“If you have private or commercial insurance, such as insurance you receive through an employer or purchase yourself, you can pay as little as $35 or no more than $55 per 1-month prescription with the Awiqli® Savings Offer.”

“With this savings program, you may be eligible to pay $55 for a 1-month supply of Awiqli.”

From the maker’s offer on awiqli.com, checked November 2, 2026. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.

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 price 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 Awiqli itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Awiqli is the only choice; its maker’s savings card can lower what you pay.

Regular genericNot sold

Awiqli is a biologic. Biologics don’t have generics, but some have biosimilars or an unbranded version from the same maker. Ask your pharmacist or prescriber whether one is sold. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, the maker’s savings card is the way to pay less.
