Frequently Asked Questions
Why do brand-name drugs cost so much?
Pharmaceutical companies recover research, development, clinical trial, and regulatory costs through patent-protected pricing. Marketing and distribution costs are also factored in. Competition arrives only when patents expire.
Can manufacturer co-pay cards be used with ScriptUnlock pharmacies?
Yes. Many ScriptUnlock partner pharmacies accept manufacturer co-pay assistance cards. Check the specific program terms; some exclude patients with government insurance.
Is there a biosimilar for Humira?
Yes. Multiple FDA-approved adalimumab biosimilars launched in 2023, with prices 30–85% below brand Humira. ScriptUnlock bids include available adalimumab biosimilar options.
What is a "patient assistance program" for brand drugs?
Manufacturer-run programs that provide free or heavily discounted brand medications to eligible patients (usually income-based). ScriptUnlock pharmacy partners can guide you through applying.
How do I know if a brand drug has a generic yet?
The FDA's Orange Book lists patent expiries and approved generics. ScriptUnlock automatically surfaces any available generic alternative alongside brand bids so you can make an informed choice.
