Generic hydrocodone ER

No pharmacy we check posts a price for hydrocodone ER, 30 tablets.

  1. Ask your pharmacy for the cash price of generic hydrocodone ER.Find pharmacies near you 
  2. Ask one or two other pharmacies too. Cash prices for the same generic can differ a lot from store to store.

A regular generic has the same active ingredient as Hysingla ER, and the FDA requires it to work the same way.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Hysingla ER 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.

Regular genericWho makes it

One company sells a generic of Hysingla ER that the FDA rates a substitute. A pharmacy fills whichever one it stocks. 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 it’s used for

What the FDA label says

HYSINGLA ER is an opioid agonist indicated for the management of severe and persistent pain that requires an opioid analgesic and that cannot be adequately treated with alternative options, including immediate-release opioids.

Limitations of Use

  • Because of the risks of addiction, abuse, misuse, overdose, and death, which can occur at any dosage or duration and persist over the course of therapy, reserve opioid analgesics, including HYSINGLA ER, for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options are ineffective, not tolerated, or would be otherwise inadequate to provide sufficient management of pain.
  • HYSINGLA ER is not indicated as an as-needed (prn) analgesic.
