Boehringer Ingelheim and GoodRx Team Up to Offer Low-Cost Humira Biosimilar
Boehringer Ingelheim and GoodRx (NASDAQ:GDRX), the leading prescription savings platform in the U.S., announced today a patient affordability initiative to provide citrate-free Adalimumab-adbm, Boehringer's biosimilar to Humira® (adalimumab), at a low cash price available exclusively on GoodRx. This program is a significant step in addressing access and affordability in one of the largest therapeutic categories with a high cost burden for patients.
Adalimumab-adbm is an FDA-approved interchangeable* biosimilar to Humira®. The citrate-free, injectable medication is used to treat or reduce the signs and symptoms of certain autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, psoriatic arthritis, and ulcerative colitis. By working together to offer consumers a low cash price, the companies are broadening access and affordability for this critical drug. Now, anyone with a valid prescription, regardless of insurance status, can use GoodRx to purchase Adalimumab-adbm at over 70,000 retail pharmacies nationwide. This may help speed up the time to therapy for patients, which can be one of the big challenges faced with biologic drugs.
