Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Igalmi itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Igalmi is the only choice; ask the pharmacy for its cash price, or your plan what it charges.

Regular genericNot sold

We didn’t find one. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, ask the pharmacy for Igalmi’s cash price, or your plan what it charges.
