How to pay the least

Ask for the cash price

Generic glatiramer

No pharmacy we check posts a price for it.

  1. Ask your pharmacy for the cash price of generic glatiramer.Find pharmacies near you 
  2. Ask one or two other pharmacies too. Cash prices for the same generic can differ a lot from store to store.

A regular generic has the same active ingredient as Copaxone, and the FDA requires it to work the same way.

In the maker’s words

“With COPAXONE Co-Pay Solutions®, commercially insured patients taking COPAXONE® may pay as little as $0.”

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 Copaxone 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.

What to say at the pharmacy

“Before you fill my Copaxone, 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.
