How to Save Money on Evekeo

If you've been prescribed Evekeo (amphetamine sulfate) for ADHD, narcolepsy, or weight management, you may have experienced sticker shock at the pharmacy. Brand-name Evekeo can cost $350 to $600 for a single month's supply without insurance — and even with insurance, co-pays can be surprisingly high.

The good news: there are real ways to bring that cost down. From discount cards to patient assistance programs to generic alternatives, this guide covers every money-saving option available to Evekeo patients in 2026.

How Much Does Evekeo Cost Without Insurance?

Let's start with the baseline. Here's what you can expect to pay for Evekeo at cash price (no insurance, no discounts):

• Evekeo 5 mg tablets (30 count): $350 to $500
• Evekeo 10 mg tablets (30 count): $375 to $550
• Evekeo ODT 5-20 mg (30 count): $400 to $650

These prices vary by pharmacy. Interestingly, prices can differ by $100 or more between pharmacies in the same city — which is why price shopping matters.

For context, here's how Evekeo compares to alternatives:

• Generic mixed amphetamine salts (Adderall): $30 to $80/month
• Generic dextroamphetamine: $25 to $70/month
• Generic lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse): $50 to $150/month
• Generic methylphenidate (Ritalin): $15 to $50/month

Coupons and Discount Cards

Prescription discount cards are one of the easiest ways to save on Evekeo. These are free to use, don't require insurance, and work at most major pharmacies.

Top Discount Card Options for Evekeo

• GoodRx: Compare prices at pharmacies near you and get free coupons. Savings on brand-name Evekeo vary, but GoodRx can sometimes reduce the price by 10-20%. Visit goodrx.com/evekeo.
• SingleCare: Another free discount card accepted at CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and other major chains. Check singlecare.com for current Evekeo pricing.
• RxSaver: Compares prices across pharmacies and provides downloadable coupons. Visit rxsaver.com.
• Optum Perks: Offers discounts at over 64,000 pharmacies. Check perks.optum.com.
• BuzzRx: Free savings card with discounts at most pharmacies. Visit buzzrx.com.

Pro tip: Discount cards often provide bigger savings on generic medications. If your doctor has prescribed generic amphetamine sulfate instead of brand-name Evekeo, you may see prices as low as $30 to $60 with a discount card.

How to Use Discount Cards

1. Visit one of the discount card websites above
2. Search for "Evekeo" or "amphetamine sulfate"
3. Enter your zip code to compare prices at local pharmacies
4. Select the lowest price and get a coupon (digital or printable)
5. Present the coupon at the pharmacy when filling your prescription

Important: You typically cannot use a discount card and insurance together. Compare your insurance co-pay to the discount card price and use whichever is lower.

Manufacturer Savings Program

Azurity Pharmaceuticals, the maker of Evekeo, has offered savings programs for eligible patients:

• Evekeo Savings Card: For commercially insured patients, this program may reduce your co-pay to as low as $30 to $50 per prescription
• Eligibility: You must have commercial (private) insurance — patients with Medicare, Medicaid, or other government insurance typically do not qualify
• How to enroll: Ask your doctor's office, check the Azurity Pharmaceuticals website, or ask your pharmacist about available manufacturer coupons

Manufacturer savings programs can provide the biggest discounts for insured patients, so this should be one of the first options you explore.

Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs)

If you're uninsured, underinsured, or facing financial hardship, patient assistance programs can help you get Evekeo at little or no cost:

Azurity Patient Assistance

Azurity Pharmaceuticals may offer a patient assistance program for qualifying patients who cannot afford their medications. Contact Azurity directly or ask your prescriber's office to help you apply.

NeedyMeds

NeedyMeds is a nonprofit that maintains a database of patient assistance programs, including those for amphetamine products. They also offer a free discount drug card.

RxAssist

RxAssist helps patients find assistance programs based on their specific medication and financial situation. Search for Evekeo or amphetamine sulfate to see available options.

RxHope

RxHope connects patients with pharmaceutical company assistance programs and can help with the application process.

Typical eligibility requirements for PAPs:

• U.S. residency
• No prescription drug coverage, or inadequate coverage
• Income below a certain threshold (often 200-400% of the federal poverty level)
• Valid prescription from a licensed provider

Other Ways to Save on Evekeo

Ask About Generic Amphetamine Sulfate

Generic amphetamine sulfate tablets are available and cost significantly less — typically $30 to $80 per month. However, not all generics match Evekeo's exact 1:1 racemic formulation. Talk to your doctor about whether a generic version would work for you. For more information about your options, see our article on alternatives to Evekeo.

Compare Pharmacy Prices

Don't assume every pharmacy charges the same price. Prices for Evekeo can vary by $100 or more between pharmacies. Use Medfinder to find pharmacies with stock, then compare prices using GoodRx or SingleCare before choosing where to fill.

Ask About 90-Day Supplies

Some pharmacies and insurance plans offer lower per-unit pricing for 90-day supplies. If your state and insurance allow 90-day fills for Schedule II medications, this can reduce your per-month cost. Not all pharmacies offer this for controlled substances, so ask ahead.

Check Your Insurance Formulary

If you have insurance, check whether Evekeo is on your plan's formulary (list of covered drugs). If it's covered but requires prior authorization:

• Ask your doctor to submit the prior auth — it may take a few days but can dramatically reduce your co-pay
• If denied, ask your doctor to file an appeal with clinical justification
• Check if Evekeo ODT has different coverage status than standard tablets

Consider a Different Formulation

If brand Evekeo tablets are too expensive, explore:

• Evekeo ODT: Different formulation, may have different pricing or insurance coverage
• Generic amphetamine sulfate: Significantly cheaper when available

What to Do If You Can't Afford Evekeo

If the cost of Evekeo is a barrier even after exploring the options above:

1. Talk to your doctor. There may be a more affordable medication that works just as well for you. Switching to generic Adderall or generic methylphenidate could save you hundreds of dollars per month.
2. Apply for patient assistance. Programs through NeedyMeds, RxAssist, and the manufacturer exist specifically for patients in your situation.
3. Ask your pharmacist. Pharmacists often know about savings programs and can help you find the best price.
4. Don't skip doses. Stretching your medication by skipping doses is not safe and can worsen your symptoms. If cost is an issue, talk to your healthcare team about options.

Final Thoughts

Evekeo is an expensive medication, but you don't have to pay full price. Between discount cards, manufacturer savings programs, patient assistance programs, and generic alternatives, most patients can find a way to make their medication more affordable.

Start by checking prices with discount cards like GoodRx and SingleCare, then explore the manufacturer savings program if you have commercial insurance. If you're uninsured or struggling financially, patient assistance programs through NeedyMeds and RxAssist can help.
