Brand nameNo maker’s card

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

Authorized genericNot sold

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

What it’s used for

What the FDA label says

XENLETA is a pleuromutilin antibacterial indicated for the treatment of adults with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) caused by susceptible microorganisms.

To reduce the development of drug resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of XENLETA and other antibacterial drugs, XENLETA should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria.
