What to say at the pharmacy
“Before you fill my Narcan, can you tell me what I’d pay for the brand, for the authorized generic from A-S Medication Solutions (NDC 50090-5908-0 ) , and for a regular generic?”
Paying cash? Ask for each one’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges for each.
Brand and authorized generic labels
Official labels and ingredient lists from DailyMed (U.S. National Library of Medicine).
Narcan doesn’t come in this strength, so there’s no brand label to compare.

Active: naloxone hydrochloride 4 mg/0.1 mL
Inactive:

Generic naloxone is sold. Ask the pharmacy for its cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges.
What it’s used for
What the FDA label says Uses

Good to know
It may look different from Narcan (color, shape, or markings). That’s normal for an authorized generic.
If your prescription says “dispense as written,” the pharmacy needs your prescriber’s OK to give you the authorized generic.
Cash prices can differ a lot from one pharmacy to the next, so it can pay to ask two. With insurance, what you pay depends on your plan.
If your pharmacy doesn’t stock it, they can often order it within a day or two.
Don’t stop or change a medicine without talking to your pharmacist or prescriber.
