What does teriflunomide cost (brand vs. generics)?
Teriflunomide is sold under brand names including Aubagio (Genzyme/Sanofi) and may also be available as generic teriflunomide in some markets. Pricing varies a lot by country, pharmacy, dose strength, and whether insurance coverage applies, so the most reliable approach is to check current list price and typical pharmacy pricing for your location.

Does generic teriflunomide reduce the price?
Often, generics lower cost versus the originator brand, but the extent depends on:
- availability of the generic in your country/pharmacy
- negotiated contracts (insurer/provider discounts)
- whether a prescription uses a specific strength (e.g., 7 mg vs. 14 mg) and quantity
Checking current pharmacy pricing (or an online pharmacy with your shipping country) usually gives the most practical answer.
What can change the out-of-pocket price (insurance, copay, coverage rules)?
Even when list price is high, patient cost can differ due to:
- insurance formularies (preferred vs. non-preferred drug)
- prior authorization or step therapy requirements
- copay tiers and deductible status
- whether you’re using brand-only coverage rules
Which exact dose and country should I use to get a precise number?
If you tell me:
1) your country (and whether you want USD, EUR, etc.),
2) the dose (typically 7 mg or 14 mg), and
3) whether you want brand (Aubagio) or generic,
I can narrow down the most relevant pricing reference for that setting.
