Save money on Amantadine in 2026 with discount cards, coupons, patient assistance programs, and tips for reducing your out-of-pocket costs at the pharmacy.
Whether you're paying cash, have a high-deductible insurance plan, or need to switch to a more expensive brand-name version due to the ongoing Amantadine shortage, the cost of your medication matters. The good news is that there are many ways to save on Amantadine — from free discount cards to manufacturer programs and patient assistance organizations.
This guide covers every major savings option available in 2026.
The price of Amantadine varies widely depending on the form and where you buy it:
The difference between generic and brand is enormous. Whenever possible, generic immediate-release Amantadine is the most cost-effective choice.
The easiest way to save on generic Amantadine is to use a free prescription discount card. These are not insurance — they're negotiated discount programs that any patient can use, even if you have insurance (if the cash price is lower than your copay).
How to use them: Visit any of these websites, search for Amantadine, enter your zip code, and compare prices at pharmacies near you. Most generate a coupon you can show at the pharmacy counter or provide a digital card your pharmacist can scan.
Pro tip: Prices vary significantly between pharmacies, even in the same neighborhood. Always compare before you fill.
Some pharmacies consistently offer lower prices on generic medications:
Cost Plus Drugs operates on a transparent pricing model: drug cost + 15% markup + $5 pharmacist fee + $5 shipping. For many generics, this results in dramatically lower prices than retail pharmacies. Check their website to see if generic Amantadine is currently available.
Costco pharmacies often have some of the lowest cash prices on generics. You don't need a Costco membership to use their pharmacy. Worth checking if there's a Costco near you.
Walmart maintains a list of generic medications available for $4 (30-day supply) or $10 (90-day supply). While Amantadine is not always on this list, it's worth checking the current version at your local Walmart pharmacy.
Amazon Pharmacy offers competitive pricing on generics, especially for Prime members. Delivery is convenient if you can't easily get to a pharmacy.
If you're uninsured, underinsured, or facing financial hardship, patient assistance programs can provide Amantadine at reduced cost or for free.
If you need Gocovri because generic Amantadine isn't available, the manufacturer offers substantial financial support:

Generic Amantadine is usually placed on a low tier (Tier 1 or 2) on most insurance formularies, meaning lower copays. Brand-name versions are typically on higher specialty tiers with significantly higher copays.
If your plan doesn't cover a specific Amantadine formulation or places it on a high tier, your doctor can request a formulary exception or tier reduction. This is especially relevant during the shortage if you need a brand-name product because generics are unavailable.
Many insurance plans offer better pricing for 90-day mail-order prescriptions — often the cost of two monthly copays instead of three. Ask your insurer about this option.
If you're on Medicare Part D and have limited income, you may qualify for Extra Help, which significantly reduces prescription drug costs. Visit ssa.gov to check eligibility.
One of the biggest savings strategies is simply comparing prices before each refill. Prices can vary by $50 or more between pharmacies in the same area. Use tools like:
During the shortage, some patients may need to switch to Gocovri or Osmolex ER. Here's how to minimize the financial impact:

Generic Amantadine is one of the more affordable Parkinson's medications when you can find it — especially with a discount card. The challenge right now is availability, not price.
