What to ask at the counter
None of these figures is your price: what you pay depends on your pharmacy, your insurance, coupons and discounts.
- What is your cash price for 30 tablets? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
- Is a generic version available, and would it suit me? NADAC lists a generic with the same ingredient, strength and dosage form by FDA: ASENAPINE 10 MG TABLET SL. Ask your pharmacist or prescriber; do not switch on your own.
- If you have Medicare Part D: what is my plan’s copay or coinsurance for it? The Part D average on this page is not what you pay.
- These are questions about price, not medical advice. Do not change or stop a medicine without talking to your prescriber or pharmacist.
Questions
- Why is the comparison with Medicare for SAPHRIS 10 MG TAB SUBLINGUAL labelled estimated?
- Beyond what the card shows, the records give these reasons: The Part D figure covers 2024-01-01 to 2024-12-31; the NADAC price is from the file of 2026-10-14. Part D spending basis, as the Part D record states it: Part D 2024 average spend per dosage unit for Saphris / Asenapine Maleate: all makers, strengths, forms and routes combined, claim-weighted; gross cost incl. dispensing fees and patient pay, before rebates. Unit taken as NADAC's EA. Joined on brand name.
- Why does this page start at 30 tablets?
- NADAC prices this product per EA, and the FDA NDC Directory lists 1 of its 2 NDCs (it does not list the other one) as a tablet taken under the tongue (dosage form “TABLET”, route “SUBLINGUAL”), so one EA is one tablet. OpenBill counts a tablet or film taken under the tongue or against the cheek as an oral solid, like one that is swallowed. The card starts at 30 tablets, a common one-month supply of a once-a-day medicine; change it to match your prescription.
