GoodRx Guide: How to Lower Your Prescription Costs | Advanced Urology

Where to Start

Check Prices

Go to GoodRx.com or the GoodRx app. Search your medicine (e.g., "tadalafil 5 mg"). Select the tablet count and dosage your doctor prescribed.

Choose a Pharmacy

Prices vary widely by pharmacy. In our experience, Publix, Costco, and Walmart often list the most competitive GoodRx prices for common urology meds.

Fill It Correctly

  • Show the pharmacy the GoodRx coupon (on your phone or printed).
  • Ask them to run the GoodRx price instead of insurance if that’s cheaper.
  • Confirm the final price before payment; it should match or be close to the GoodRx listing.

Example: Tadalafil 5 mg (30 tablets)

Insurance copays at some retail chains (e.g., Walgreens, CVS) can be high for tadalafil—sometimes exceeding $100 per month depending on the plan. By contrast, GoodRx cash pricing at Publix, Costco, and Walmart is often substantially lower and may be under $15–$25/month in many locations. Prices change frequently; always verify the live price on GoodRx for your ZIP code.

These figures are typical ranges observed and will vary by geography and pharmacy. Always check GoodRx directly for current local pricing.

Tips

  • Ask your provider about 90-day supplies if allowed—often cheaper per tablet.
  • Search alternative strengths; sometimes 10 mg split appropriately (if safe) can differ in price.
  • Re-check prices before each refill—GoodRx coupons change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still use insurance?

Yes, but you’ll pay the lower of your insurance copay or the GoodRx price. The pharmacy must run one or the other for the fill.

Are GoodRx prices always the best?

Not always. But for many generic medications, GoodRx cash pricing can be significantly lower than insurance copays.
