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.

Brand nameTrumpRx.gov price

TrumpRx.gov, the federal government’s drug price site, lists Invokamet XR at a price its maker agreed to, for people paying without insurance.

  • TrumpRx.gov $225for 60 tabletsSame price for 50/500 mg, 50/1000 mg, 150/500 mg and 150/1000 mgTrumpRx sends you to J&J Direct, Johnson & Johnson’s own program, to order it.

From TrumpRx.gov, read October 28, 2026. Its page opens on this price; other strengths and amounts are priced there too. With insurance, check your co-pay first: it may be lower.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Invokamet XR itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Invokamet XR is the only choice; its maker’s savings card can lower what you pay.

Regular genericNot sold

No generic is sold yet. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, the maker’s savings card is the way to pay less.
