Adthyza is discontinued, but here's how to save money on alternative thyroid medications in 2026 — including coupons, discount cards, and assistance programs.
When Adthyza was available, a 30-day supply of 1 grain (65 mg) tablets cost $29-$38 without insurance. The Adthyza Cares program offered direct-to-patient pricing around $35/month with home delivery. Those days are over.
With Adthyza discontinued as of November 2025, patients are transitioning to alternatives like Armour Thyroid, NP Thyroid, Levothyroxine, and compounded NDT — each with different price points. If you're worried about the cost of your new thyroid medication, this guide will help you find the best deal.
Here's a realistic breakdown of what you can expect to pay cash (no insurance) for common thyroid medications:
As you can see, the most affordable option is generic Levothyroxine at as little as $4/month. But if you need NDT specifically, there are ways to bring those costs down too.
Prescription discount cards can significantly reduce what you pay at the pharmacy, especially if you don't have insurance or your insurance doesn't cover NDT products. Here are the most useful ones for thyroid medications:
GoodRx is one of the most popular prescription discount tools. It shows prices at pharmacies near you and offers free coupons. For thyroid medications:
SingleCare works similarly to GoodRx and is accepted at most major pharmacies. It's worth comparing prices between SingleCare and GoodRx — sometimes one offers a better deal than the other at a particular pharmacy.
RxSaver by RetailMeNot compares prescription prices across pharmacies and provides free coupons. Particularly useful for finding the lowest price on Armour Thyroid or NP Thyroid in your area.
Pro tip: Prices can vary by $20 or more between pharmacies for the exact same medication. Always compare before filling your prescription. Use Medfinder to check both availability and pricing in your area.
If you're uninsured or underinsured and struggling to afford thyroid medication, patient assistance programs (PAPs) can help. These programs, often run by drug manufacturers or nonprofits, provide medications at reduced cost or even free.
AbbVie, the manufacturer of Armour Thyroid, offers patient assistance programs for qualifying patients. Eligibility typically requires:
Apply through AbbVie's patient assistance website or ask your doctor's office to help with the application.
NeedyMeds is a nonprofit that maintains a comprehensive database of patient assistance programs. Search for your thyroid medication to find manufacturer programs, state assistance programs, and other resources that can help cover costs.
RxAssist is another free resource that connects patients with assistance programs. It covers both brand-name and generic medications and includes programs for people with different income levels.
RxHope helps patients apply for manufacturer-sponsored assistance programs. Your healthcare provider may need to initiate the application on your behalf.
If your doctor agrees it's appropriate, switching from NDT to generic Levothyroxine can save you $20-$50/month. At $4-$15/month, generic Levothyroxine is one of the most affordable prescription medications available. Many pharmacies include it on their $4 generic drug lists.
Pharmacies often offer a lower per-month cost for a 90-day supply. For example:
Mail-order pharmacies — either through your insurance plan or independent services — often offer lower prices than retail pharmacies. If you're on a stable dose, mail-order can save you both money and trips to the pharmacy.
These retailers are known for competitive prescription pricing:
For brand-name Synthroid, the manufacturer (AbbVie) offers a savings card that can reduce copays. For Tirosint, IBSA Pharma offers a patient savings program. These won't help with NDT specifically, but if you're switching to a synthetic option, they're worth exploring.
The Adthyza Cares program was an affordable access program offered by Azurity Pharmaceuticals that provided Adthyza at approximately $35 for a 30-day supply and $90 for a 90-day supply with home delivery to all 50 states. No insurance was required.
Since Adthyza was discontinued in November 2025, this program is no longer active. Patients who were enrolled have been notified and will need to transition to a new medication and explore the savings options described above.
Losing Adthyza is frustrating enough without having to worry about how much your replacement medication will cost. The good news is that thyroid medication — especially generic Levothyroxine — is one of the more affordable drug categories. Even NDT products like Armour Thyroid and NP Thyroid are relatively reasonable compared to many prescription medications.
Use the tools and programs in this guide to find the best price, and don't hesitate to ask your doctor or pharmacist for help. Your thyroid health is too important to skip doses because of cost concerns.
