Authorized genericNot sold

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

Regular genericNot sold

We didn’t find one. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, the maker’s savings card is the way to pay less.

What it’s used for

Skin infections

What the FDA label says

KIMYRSA is a lipoglycopeptide antibacterial drug indicated for the treatment of adult patients with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections caused or suspected to be caused by susceptible isolates of designated Gram-positive microorganisms.

To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of KIMYRSA and other antibacterial drugs, KIMYRSA should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria.

Good to know

“Commercial insurance” means a plan from a job, from the marketplace, or one you buy yourself. A retiree plan that’s part of Medicare counts as Medicare. Check the maker’s page for who can use it.
Most cards need a sign-up on the maker’s site, and many work only if your plan covers the drug. Then give the card’s details to the clinic’s billing office.
Don’t stop or change a medicine without talking to your pharmacist or prescriber.
