Details for each option
Brand nameNo maker’s card
We didn’t find a savings card or cash price from Saxenda’s maker. Ask the pharmacy for Saxenda’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges.
Authorized genericNot sold
There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Saxenda 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 genericMakers and their savings cards
3 companies sell a generic of Saxenda that the FDA rates a substitute. A pharmacy fills whichever one it stocks. One of them has its own savings card, listed first. It works only with that maker’s version. To get a certain maker, ask for it by name; most pharmacies can order it in a day or two.

The FDA doesn’t rate Hikma Pharmaceuticals, Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Meitheal Pharmaceuticals and NorthStar Rx’s versions of liraglutide a substitute for Saxenda, so a pharmacy can’t swap them in without your prescriber’s OK.
Who sells it: FDA and Medicaid records, updated weekly. Each maker’s page, card and program is from its own site, checked November 2, 2026. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.
What to say at the pharmacy
“Before you fill my Saxenda, can you tell me what I’d pay for the brand and for a generic?”
Paying cash? Ask for each one’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges for each.
