Regular genericMakers and their savings cards

One company sells a generic of Korlym that the FDA rates a substitute. A pharmacy fills whichever one it stocks. It has its own savings card, and it works only with its 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.
