“Eligible uninsured or non-insurance-using individuals will pay no more than $35 total per 30-day supply for one or multiple Sanofi Insulins, when filled together each month.”

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.
Brand nameTrumpRx.gov price
TrumpRx.gov, the federal government’s drug price site, lists Merilog at a price its maker agreed to, for people paying without insurance.

From TrumpRx.gov, read October 28, 2026. Its page opens on this price; other strengths and amounts are priced there too. With insurance, check your co-pay first: it may be lower.
Authorized genericNot sold
There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Merilog itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Merilog is the only choice; its maker’s savings card can lower what you pay.

Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, the maker’s savings card is the way to pay less.

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. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.
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 your pharmacy.
Don’t stop or change a medicine without talking to your pharmacist or prescriber.
