Authorized genericNot sold
There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Tradjenta itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Tradjenta is the only choice; ask the pharmacy for its cash price, or your plan what it charges.
Regular genericNot sold
No generic is sold yet. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, ask the pharmacy for Tradjenta’s cash price, or your plan what it charges.
