How do you pay?

How to pay the least

Ask for the cash price

Flarex

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.

  1. Ask your pharmacy for Flarex’s cash price, and one or two other pharmacies too.
  2. Flarex’s savings card works only with insurance from a job or one you bought.

“may pay as little as $59 for (TOBRADEX ST, FLAREX, ZERVIATE,…”

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

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, the maker’s savings card is the way to pay less.
