How to pay the least

Ask for the cash price

Somavert

Somavert is a biologic. Biologics don’t have generics, but some have biosimilars or an unbranded version from the same maker. Ask your pharmacist or prescriber whether one is sold.

  1. Ask your pharmacy for Somavert’s cash price, and one or two other pharmacies too.
  2. Somavert’s savings card works only with insurance from a job or one you bought.

Free from the maker, if you qualify Pfizer Patient Assistance Program. Meet the income requirements – Your annual household pre-tax income cannot exceed 300% of the Federal Poverty Level, adjusted for household size. Or call 1-844-989-7284.

In the maker’s words

“Eligible patients with commercial prescription drug insurance coverage for SOMAVERT may pay as little as $5 per prescription fill.”

From the maker’s offer on somavert.com, checked November 2, 2026. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.

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 card above. You can usually use one or the other on a fill, not both.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Somavert itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Somavert is the only choice; its maker’s savings card can lower what you pay.

Regular genericNot sold

Somavert is a biologic. Biologics don’t have generics, but some have biosimilars or an unbranded version from the same maker. Ask your pharmacist or prescriber whether one is sold. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, the maker’s savings card is the way to pay less.

What it’s used for

What the FDA label says

SOMAVERT is a growth hormone receptor antagonist indicated for the treatment of acromegaly in patients who have had an inadequate response to surgery or radiation therapy, or for whom these therapies are not appropriate. The goal of treatment is to normalize serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels.
