How much does Admelog Solostar cost (and why prices vary)?
Admelog is insulin lispro (a rapid-acting insulin) and the “Solostar” format refers to the prefilled pen. The cost to patients can vary widely by (1) pharmacy, (2) location, (3) insurance plan/copay, (4) whether you use a manufacturer savings program, and (5) whether you’re eligible for discounts or assistance. The information available publicly for a single cash price is often incomplete or out of date because prices change frequently.
What is the typical out-of-pocket cost with insurance vs. without?
Most people pay substantially less with insurance because the list price is negotiated down and the patient copay depends on the specific plan tier and deductible status. Without insurance, you generally see higher cash prices that can change from day to day at different pharmacies.
Where can I check the current price quickly?

Can you reduce the cost with coupons, copay cards, or assistance?
Insulin products often have manufacturer programs or third-party assistance options, but eligibility rules depend on insurance type and other factors (for example, whether you’re on Medicare/Medicaid). Checking for a current savings program is usually the fastest way to see your lowest possible price.
Is Admelog the same as other insulin lispro brands (and does that affect cost)?
Admelog is one brand of insulin lispro. Other insulin lispro options or biosimilar/authorized alternatives (depending on availability in your country) may have different pricing and copay requirements. If cost is your main issue, it’s worth asking your prescriber or pharmacist whether a lower-cost alternative that matches your dosing/insulin type is appropriate.
What to ask your pharmacist to get the real price today
Ask for:
- Your exact copay for Admelog Solostar with your insurance card
- Cash price at that pharmacy for the specific pen size/number of pens
- Whether a different NDC or pen package size would lower your cost
- Any active savings program they can apply at checkout
