We didn’t find a savings card or cash price from Maxalt’s maker. Ask the pharmacy for Maxalt’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Maxalt 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.
