Prices change, can differ by store and state, and may depend on the strength and how many you take. With insurance, ask what your plan charges; it can be less.

Regular genericMakers and their savings cards

3 companies sell a generic of Zavesca that the FDA rates a substitute. A pharmacy fills whichever one it stocks. One of them has its own savings card, listed first. It works only with that maker’s version. To get a certain maker, ask for it by name; most pharmacies can order it in a day or two.

It’s mostly filled by specialty pharmacies. Your prescriber’s office or insurer can tell you which one to use.

Good to know

It may look different from Zavesca (color, shape, or markings). That’s normal for an authorized generic.
If your prescription says “dispense as written,” the pharmacy needs your prescriber’s OK to give you the authorized generic.
Cash prices can differ a lot from one pharmacy to the next, so it can pay to ask two. With insurance, what you pay depends on your plan.
Don’t stop or change a medicine without talking to your pharmacist or prescriber.
