Ask for the cash price

Generic dichlorphenamide

No pharmacy we check posts a price for it.

  1. Ask your pharmacy for the cash price of generic dichlorphenamide.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 Keveyis, and the FDA requires it to work the same way.

In the maker’s words

“Eligible patients may pay as little as $0 for their prescription.”

From the maker’s offer on keveyis.com, checked November 2, 2026. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.

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.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Keveyis 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 genericMakers and their savings cards

3 companies sell a generic of Keveyis that the FDA rates a substitute. A pharmacy fills whichever one it stocks. One of them has its own savings card, listed first. It works only with that maker’s version. 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 to say at the pharmacy

“Before you fill my Keveyis, can you tell me what I’d pay for the brand and for a generic?”

Paying cash? Ask for each one’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges for each.
