Here are answers to some frequently asked questions about drug cost and Strattera.
How much is Strattera with or without insurance?
What you pay for Strattera with or without insurance depends on several factors. If you don’t have insurance, the price may depend on:

- whether you apply and qualify for any available savings programs (see the “Financial and insurance assistance” section)
- your Strattera dosage and treatment plan

These same factors may affect your price for Strattera if you have insurance. But the price you pay with insurance will also depend on your specific plan benefits or any prior authorization requirements you have for drug coverage. (For more details, see the “Insurance considerations” section.)

Is there a Strattera manufacturer coupon from Lilly?
No, there isn’t a Strattera coupon available from the manufacturer.
Eli Lilly and Company is the manufacturer of Strattera. They have a program called Lilly Cares that offers financial assistance to those who qualify. For Strattera, the program is limited to people who are currently enrolled or those who were previously enrolled. They aren’t currently accepting new applications for the program for this medication.
If you have questions about Lilly Cares, you can contact them by calling 800-545-6962 or visit their website.
The active ingredient of Strattera is atomoxetine, which is available as a generic drug. A generic drug is considered to be as safe and effective as the original drug. And generics tend to cost less than brand-name drugs.
If your doctor has prescribed Strattera and you’re interested in taking atomoxetine instead, talk with your doctor. They may have a preference for one version or the other. You’ll also need to check with your insurance provider, as it may only cover one or the other.
To find out how the cost of a Strattera generic compares with the cost of brand-name Strattera, talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or insurance provider.
WHY ARE COSTS DIFFERENT FOR BRAND-NAME DRUGS VS. GENERIC DRUGS?Brand-name drugs can be expensive because of the research needed to test their safety and effectiveness. The manufacturer of a brand-name drug can sell it for up to 20 years. When the brand-name drug’s patent expires, multiple manufacturers can create generic versions. This marketplace competition may lead to lower costs for generics. Also, because generics contain the same active ingredients as brand-name drugs, they don’t require the same costly testing.
If you take Strattera long term, you may be able to lower its cost in the following ways.
Getting a 3-month supply
You may be able to get a 90-day supply of Strattera. If approved by your insurance company, getting a 90-day supply of the drug could reduce your number of trips to the pharmacy and help lower the cost. If you’re interested in this option, check with your doctor, pharmacist, or insurance provider.
Using a mail-order pharmacy
Strattera may be available through a mail-order pharmacy. Using this type of service may help lower the drug’s cost and allow you to receive your medication without leaving home. Some Medicare plans may help cover the cost of mail-order medications. You may also be able to get a 90-day supply of the drug via mail order.
If you don’t have health insurance, talk with your doctor or pharmacist. They may be able to suggest online pharmacy options that could work for you.

Below is information you may want to consider if you have insurance and receive Strattera.
If you have insurance, your insurance company may require prior authorization before it covers Strattera. This means the company and your doctor will discuss Strattera in regard to your treatment. The insurance company will then determine whether the medication is covered.
If a drug requires prior authorization but you start treatment without the prior approval, you could pay the full cost of the medication. You can ask your insurance company whether Strattera requires prior authorization.
