Check multiple pharmacies for price comparisons; online pharmacies often offer lower prices than brick-and-mortar stores. Insurance coverage significantly impacts the final cost. Your copay will vary depending on your plan and the pharmacy’s negotiated rates. Generic tadalafil, the active ingredient in Cialis, is considerably cheaper than the brand-name version. Consider this more affordable alternative if your doctor approves.
Dosage and Prescription Length
The cost increases with higher dosages and longer prescription durations. A 30-day supply of 5mg Cialis will be less expensive than a 90-day supply of 10mg. Discuss your needs with your doctor to find the most cost-effective dosage and prescription length for your situation.
Pharmacy Location and Type
Prices vary across different pharmacies, even within the same geographic area. Large chain pharmacies may have higher prices compared to independent pharmacies or mail-order services. Remember to factor in any additional fees such as delivery charges.
Manufacturer Coupons and Savings Programs
Check for manufacturer coupons or patient assistance programs offered by Lilly, the maker of Cialis, or by your pharmacy. These programs can help offset the cost substantially. Your doctor or pharmacist can provide information on available programs.
