What to say at the pharmacy
“Before you fill my Viread, can you tell me what I’d pay for the brand and for a generic?”
Paying cash? Ask for each one’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges for each.
What it’s used for

Good to know
- A regular generic may look different from Viread. The FDA requires it to work the same way.
- We didn’t find a savings card from Viread’s maker.
- Don’t stop or change a medicine without talking to your pharmacist or prescriber.
