Zytiga Generic Pricing

I confirmed at my Walgreens today that generic Zytiga is available for $3500 per months supply. Use this as a benchmark and shop around as others may be charging considerably more.

I don’t know. FDA has approved four companies to make the Zytiga genetic.

Zytiga generics at Walgreens we’re listed at $3500 retail for a months supply. I would guess that providers and insurers will start pushing patients in that direction soon.

Before you switch to generic, make sure your doctor is ok with it as I have read that the generic version is not exactly the same formulation as the original. Of course cost is definitely an issue. I am very lucky to have Optum RX with no out of pocket for Zytiga's $10,000 monthly cost. I would also be looking for a generic option if I had out of pocket $ to pay. Good luck and tread carefully.

I pay 560 monthly plus 5,000 dollars for donut hole once each year for Xtandi. Must get from Diplomat. I use Optimum RX for everything else. They have told that I cannot get Xtandi thru them. Anyone have any other information on this?

Check to see if your Med Center has a person assigned to help patients navigate the Special Drugs costs and copays maze. I spend exactly what you spend for my Zytiga.

I'm paying less than $10 under my Blue Shield plan that has a drug part. And, it's the original Zytiga. That leads me to believe that others may be folliwing suit.

Don’t let that plan lapse! Best deal on Zytiga that I have heard.
