Amlodipine is a generic drug. It also comes in brand-name versions called Norvasc, Katerzia, and Norliqva. A generic drug is an exact copy of the active drug in a brand-name medication. The generic is considered to be just as safe and effective as the original drug. Generics also tend to cost less than brand-name drugs.

To find out how the costs of amlodipine compare with its brand-name forms, talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or insurance provider.

If your doctor has prescribed amlodipine and you’re interested in using Norvasc, Katerzia, or Norliqva instead, talk with your doctor. They may have a preference for one version or the other. In addition, you’ll need to check with your insurance provider. This is because it may only cover one drug or the other.

If you take amlodipine long term, you may be able to lower your costs in the following ways:

  • Look into getting a 90-day supply of your medication: You may be able to get a 90-day supply of amlodipine if approved by your insurance company. This could reduce your number of trips to the pharmacy and help lower the cost of amlodipine. If you’re interested in getting a 90-day supply of this drug, talk with your doctor or insurance provider.
  • Use a mail-order pharmacy to get your medication: Using a mail-order pharmacy might help lower your cost for amlodipine. Plus, you could get your medication without leaving home. Some Medicare plans may help cover the cost of mail-order drugs. You may also be able to get a 90-day supply of the drug through mail order. If you don’t have health insurance, talk with your doctor or pharmacist. They may be able to suggest online pharmacy options that could work for you.
