Ask for the cash price

Trulicity

Trulicity 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 Trulicity’s cash price, and one or two other pharmacies too.
  2. Trulicity’s savings card works only with insurance from a job or one you bought.

Free from the maker, if you qualify Lilly Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program. Note: These income limits are 300% (Group 1 Medications), 400% (Group 2 Medications), and 500% (Group 3 & 4 Medications) of 2026 Federal Poverty Guidelines. Or call 1-800-545-6962.

In the maker’s words

“You may pay as little as $25 for up to a 3-month prescription with the Trulicity Savings Card if eligible and commercially insured with coverage for Trulicity.”

From the maker’s offer on trulicity.lilly.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.

Brand nameTrumpRx.gov price

TrumpRx.gov, the federal government’s drug price site, lists Trulicity at a price its maker agreed to, for people paying without insurance.

  • TrumpRx.gov $389Single-dose Pen, 0.75/0.5 mg/mLTrumpRx sends you to LillyDirect, Eli Lilly and Company’s own program, to order it.
    TrumpRx’s terms

    “*Eligibility required, terms and conditions apply. Review full terms and conditions.”

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 Trulicity itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Trulicity is the only choice; its maker’s savings card can lower what you pay.

Regular genericNot sold

Trulicity 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.
