Details for each option
Brand nameNo maker’s card
We didn’t find a savings card or cash price from Tembexa’s maker. Ask the pharmacy for Tembexa’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges.
Authorized genericNot sold
There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Tembexa itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Tembexa is the only choice; ask the pharmacy for its cash price, or your plan what it charges.
Regular genericNot sold
We didn’t find one. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, ask the pharmacy for Tembexa’s cash price, or your plan what it charges.
What it’s used for
What the FDA label says
TEMBEXA is an orthopoxvirus nucleotide analog DNA polymerase inhibitor and is indicated for the treatment of human smallpox disease in adult and pediatric patients, including neonates.
Limitations of Use:
- TEMBEXA is not indicated for the treatment of diseases other than human smallpox disease.
- The effectiveness of TEMBEXA for treatment of smallpox disease has not been determined in humans because adequate and well-controlled field trials have not been feasible, and inducing smallpox disease in humans to study the drug’s efficacy is not ethical.
- TEMBEXA efficacy may be reduced in immunocompromised patients based on studies in immune deficient animals.
