In the maker’s words

“Most eligible commercially insured patients pay as little as $25 copay for their first prescription and eligible refills, exclusively at Walgreens and other participating independent pharmacies.”

“Discounted $80 copay available for eligible uninsured patients.”

From the maker’s offer on lotemaxsm.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 price 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 Lotemax SM itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Lotemax SM is the only choice; its maker’s savings card can lower what you pay.

Regular genericNot sold

Sold only in a different form, strength or formula. Switching to one would need a new prescription, so ask your prescriber whether it could work for you. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, the maker’s savings card is the way to pay less.
