How to pay the least

Ask for the cash price

BOTOX Cosmetic

BOTOX Cosmetic 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.

  1. Ask your pharmacy for BOTOX Cosmetic’s cash price, and one or two other pharmacies too.

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

Regular genericNot sold

BOTOX Cosmetic 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.
