FAQ
Common questions about teriflunomide’s cost
Here are some common questions and answers about teriflunomide.
Can I get a teriflunomide copay card to help pay for my prescription?
Possibly. Some manufacturers of generic drug products may offer copay programs or copay cards to help with the cost of certain generics. For example, Teva Pharmaceuticals currently offers a Teva Savings Card for Teriflunomide Tablets, and Glenmark Pharmaceuticals presents a Glenmark Teriflunomide Tablets Copay Savings Card.
You must have commercial health insurance to qualify for a copay card. To find out more about whether you’re eligible for this type of assistance, contact the manufacturer and review their specific criteria for eligibility.
Talk with your doctor, insurance provider, or pharmacist to learn more about copay cards for teriflunomide.
Does generic teriflunomide cost less than the brand-name drug Aubagio?
Yes. Teriflunomide is the active ingredient of the brand-name drug Aubagio. Generic drugs typically cost less than brand-name drugs.
Brand-name drugs can be expensive because of the studies needed to test how safe and effective they are.
Makers of a brand-name drug can patent and sell their drug for up to 20 years. When the patent for a brand-name drug expires, other drugmakers can make and sell generic versions.
This competition may help keep costs of generic medications lower. Also, generic medications contain the same active ingredients as brand-name medications. So they don’t require the same testing, which can be costly.
If you’d like to know more about the cost differences between brand-name and generic drugs, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.
