Details for each option
Brand nameNo maker’s card
We didn’t find a savings card or cash price from Paxil’s maker. Ask the pharmacy for Paxil’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges.
Authorized genericNot sold
There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Paxil 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.
Regular genericWhere to buy it
Pharmacies’ own cash prices for generic paroxetine, lowest first.

Good to know
