From the maker’s offer on sanofipatientconnection.com, checked November 2, 2026. Check the maker’s page for who can use it.

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 Plavix 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 Plavix 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.

What to say at the pharmacy

Paying cash? Ask for each one’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges for each.
