Sold only in a different form, strength or formula. Switching to one would need a new prescription, so ask your prescriber whether it could work for you.
- Ask your pharmacy for Cortifoam’s cash price, and one or two other pharmacies too.

Authorized genericNot sold
There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Cortifoam itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Cortifoam is the only choice; ask the pharmacy for its cash price, or your plan what it charges.
Regular genericNot sold
Sold only in a different form, strength or formula. Switching to one would need a new prescription, so ask your prescriber whether it could work for you. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, ask the pharmacy for Cortifoam’s cash price, or your plan what it charges.
