Augtyro only comes as a brand-name drug. It’s not currently available in a generic version. A generic contains an exact copy of the active drug in a brand-name medication but tends to cost less.
Why is there such a cost difference between brand-name drugs and generics?Years of research and testing are needed to ensure that brand-name drugs are safe and effective. This testing can make the drugs expensive. The manufacturer of a brand-name drug can sell the drug exclusively for up to 20 years. After that, other drugmakers can create generic versions. This competition in the market can lead to lower costs for generics. And because generics have the same active ingredients as brand-name drugs, they don’t need to be studied again. This can also lead to lower generic costs.
If you take Augtyro long term and your insurance company approves, you may be able to get a 90-day supply of this medication. This could reduce your number of trips to the pharmacy and help lower the cost of Augtyro.

Is Augtyro covered by Medicare?
It’s possible. To find out whether your Medicare plan covers the cost of Augtyro, call your plan provider. There are many types of Medicare plans, and your cost and coverage depend on your particular plan’s benefits.
Keep in mind that your plan may have prior authorization requirements before it will cover Augtyro. (See the “Prior authorization” section just below for more information.)
You can also ask your doctor about the cost of Augtyro if you have Medicare.
If you have insurance, you may need to get prior authorization before your insurance provider will cover Augtyro. This means your insurer and your doctor will discuss Augtyro in regard to your treatment. Then the insurance company will determine whether the drug is covered. If Augtyro requires prior authorization and you don’t receive it before you start treatment, you could pay the full cost of the drug.
Be sure to ask your insurance company whether Augtyro requires prior authorization.
If you still have questions about the cost of Augtyro, talk with your doctor or pharmacist. They may be able to give you a better idea of what you’ll pay for this drug. But if you have health insurance, you’ll need to talk with your insurance provider to learn the actual price you’d pay for Augtyro.

- If I need to lower my dose of Augtyro because of side effects, will my drug costs go down?
- Which lower cost generic drug could I take to treat my condition?
- What are my options if I can’t afford Augtyro?
