What to ask your care team

“Do you use the authorized generic of Folotyn? It’s the same medicine, and it can cost less.”

Good to know

It may look different from Folotyn (color, shape, or markings). That’s normal for an authorized generic.
Coverage depends on your plan. Your care team or insurer can tell you what you’d pay.
Don’t stop or change a medicine without talking to your pharmacist or prescriber.
