Is Nayzilam available as a generic?

Nayzilam 5-milligram (mg) nasal spray 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.

Midazolam is the active ingredient in Nayzilam. Midazolam is available as a generic drug in other forms. But these other forms may not be appropriate for immediate treatment of seizure clusters (what Nayzilam is used for). Talk with your doctor to learn more about the form of midazolam that would be best for your condition.

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.

How can I lower my long-term drug costs?

If you take Nayzilam 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 Nayzilam if approved by your insurance company. This could reduce your number of trips to the pharmacy and help lower the cost of Nayzilam. If you’re interested in a 90-day supply of this drug, talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or insurance provider.

Use a mail-order pharmacy to get your medication: Using a mail-order pharmacy might help lower your cost for Nayzilam. 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.

Prior authorization

If you have insurance, you may need to get prior authorization before your insurance provider will cover Nayzilam. This means your insurer and your doctor will discuss Nayzilam in regard to your treatment. Then, the insurance company will determine whether the drug is covered. If Nayzilam 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 Nayzilam requires prior authorization.
