We didn’t find a savings card or cash price from Velphoro’s maker. Ask the pharmacy for Velphoro’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Velphoro itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Velphoro 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 Velphoro’s cash price, or your plan what it charges.
