In the maker’s words

“With the BRILINTA Savings Card, commercially insured patients could pay as low as $5 for a 30-day supply of BRILINTA each and every time they refill.”

“If you pay cash for your prescription, AstraZeneca will pay up to the first $100 per month, and you will be responsible for any remaining balance, for each monthly prescription.”

From the maker’s offer on brilinta.com, checked September 24, 2026. What you pay depends on your plan. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.

Before you use a discount card

Discount cards like GoodRx take money off the pharmacy’s cash price. For a brand-name drug, that price is often still high. With commercial insurance, Brilinta’s own card may bring it to as little as $5 a month. Paying cash, the maker’s card takes up to $100 off a month.

Look up the discount-card price, then compare it with this estimate. You can use a maker’s card or a discount card, but usually not both on the same fill.

What pharmacies pay

The average U.S. drugstores pay for each strength (source: Medicaid, September 23, 2026). What you pay depends on your plan or the pharmacy.

Good to know

A regular generic has the same active ingredient, strength and form as Brilinta, and the FDA requires it to work the same way. Its fillers and dyes can differ, so it may look different.
There’s no authorized generic of Brilinta.
“Commercial insurance” means a plan from a job, from the marketplace, or one you buy yourself. A retiree plan that’s part of Medicare counts as Medicare. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.
Most cards need a sign-up on the maker’s site, and many work only if your plan covers the drug. Then give the card’s details to your pharmacy.
Don’t stop or change a medicine without talking to your pharmacist or prescriber.
