Read this before acting on any number here:
NADAC is the national average price pharmacies PAY to acquire this drug. It is a benchmark, not a price you owe.
The fair cash estimate adds a professional dispensing fee range ($9-13, per state Medicaid surveys) to acquisition cost. Pharmacies may lawfully charge more or less.
If you have insurance, your copay may be lower than any cash price, and paying cash usually does not count toward your deductible.
Not medical advice. Generic alternatives listed are FDA therapeutic-equivalence matches for the same ingredient, strength, and form; only your prescriber can decide what you should take.
