What Is Jardiance?

Jardiance is a brand-name prescription medication containing empagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor used to treat type 2 diabetes.

In addition to improving glucose control, Jardiance is FDA-approved to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in adults with heart failure and to support patients with chronic kidney disease.

Jardiance Cost With Insurance

Private Health Insurance

With health insurance, Jardiance is usually covered, but the copay depends on your insurance plan and formulary tier. Many patients pay between $25 and $75 per month, though some plans require higher coinsurance.

Medicare

Medicare Part D typically covers Jardiance, but costs vary based on the plan and coverage phase. Copays may range from $40 to over $100 per month, especially before meeting deductibles or during the coverage gap.

Out-of-Pocket Costs

If you do not have insurance coverage, you will be responsible for the full out-of-pocket cost. In this case, comparing online pharmacy prices and discount options becomes especially important.

Why Online Pharmacies May Offer Lower Prices

Online pharmacy providers, particularly Canadian pharmacy options, may offer lower prices on brand-name prescription drugs like Jardiance due to different pricing regulations.

Patients often use online pharmacies to:

  • Access lower prices on prescription medication
  • Order a 90-day supply for better value
  • Manage refills more conveniently

It is important to ensure the pharmacy is licensed and requires a valid prescription before purchasing.

Is There a Generic Version of Jardiance?

There is currently no FDA-approved generic version of Jardiance available in the United States. The medication remains a brand-name drug, which contributes to its higher cost. However, through Universal Drugstore, you have access to a generic version of an approved generic from our licensed pharmacy partners.

There are also other SGLT2 inhibitors available. Your healthcare provider may recommend alternative medications depending on your condition and treatment goals.
