There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Emflaza 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.

About these prices
Prices change, can differ by store and state, and may depend on the strength and how many you take. With insurance, ask what your plan charges; it can be less.
Regular genericMakers and their savings cards
8 companies sell a generic of Emflaza that the FDA rates a substitute. A pharmacy fills whichever one it stocks. 3 of them have their own savings cards, listed first. Each works only with that maker’s version. To get a certain maker, ask for it by name; most pharmacies can order it in a day or two.
It’s mostly filled by specialty pharmacies. Your prescriber’s office or insurer can tell you which one to use.

What to say at the pharmacy
“Before you fill my Emflaza, 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.

Good to know
- A regular generic may look different from Emflaza. The FDA requires it to work the same way.
- “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. Check the maker’s page for who can use it.
- 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.
Prices checked November 2, 2026. Prices change: confirm with the pharmacy before you fill. drugalt.com/drug/emflaza/
