How do you pay?

How to pay the least

Cash price

$28+ for 30 tablets

Pharmacies pay about this for Hemiclor; you’d pay more.

  1. Ask your pharmacy for Hemiclor’s cash price, and one or two other pharmacies too.

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.

Brand nameNo maker’s card

We didn’t find a savings card or cash price from Hemiclor’s maker. Ask the pharmacy for Hemiclor’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Hemiclor itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Hemiclor 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 Hemiclor’s cash price, or your plan what it charges.

What it’s used for

What the FDA label says

HEMICLOR is a thiazide-like diuretic indicated for the treatment of hypertension in adults, to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions.
