Was going thru the GoodRX website to gather information on pricing for "Afrezza" The introduction on the drug was not that positive in my opinion.
- Will not work as long as regular Insulin
- Drug less popular than comparable drugs
- Less expensive biosimilar versions may be available in the near future
- W/coupon my cost for 30 days would be $1,059.52 (180 cartridges of 4 and 8 Units)
Just curious if others have gone into GoodRX and reviewed Afrezza. Thanks!

Thanks! Great “partnership“, eh? The "partnership" seemed to consist of MannKind buying ads on GoodRX. And what's this about "biosimilar versions?" In the "near future?" Is that even possible? |

Thanks!Lets put the whole thing out there: - It is a fast acting insulin that starts working faster than traditional insulin. - Aren't people always telling me that's a good thi - It will not work as long as regular insulin. - This drug is less popular than comparable drugs. - There is currently no generic alternative for Afrezza, but less expensive biosimilar versions may be available in the future. - Afrezza is covered by some Medicare and insurance plans, but some pharmacy coupons or cash prices may be lower. - The lowest GoodRx price for the most common version of Afrezza is around $1,059.52, 8% off the average retail price of $1,162.01. Compare insulins.
- It is a fast acting insulin that starts working faster than traditional insulin. - That's good - It will not work as long as regular insulin. - Aren't people always telling me that's what people want to see? - This drug is less popular than comparable drugs. - That's a statement of fact, most likely auto-generated from their site - There is currently no generic alternative for Afrezza, but less expensive biosimilar versions may be available in the future. - No generic is true, biosimilar is wrong. - Afrezza is covered by some Medicare and insurance plans, but some pharmacy coupons or cash prices may be lower. - True - The lowest GoodRx price for the most common version of Afrezza is around $1,059.52, 8% off the average retail price of $1,162.01. Compare insulins. - True, but you could go to Eagle Pharmacy instead.Now lets look at Novolog: - No comment about speed of action or duration. - This drug is slightly more popular than comparable drugs. - There is currently no generic alternative for Novolog, but less expensive biosimilar versions may be available in the future - It is not covered by most Medicare and insurance plans, but manufacturer and pharmacy coupons can help offset the cost. - The lowest GoodRx price for the most common version of Novolog is around $561.65, 14% off the average retail price of $658.75. Compare insulins. Notice the pattern? It's identical except for the comment about PK/PD which I am willing to bet is there because people complained that it was missing. The rest of the stuff is boilerplate and I would also bet is auto-generated. More to the point it is accurate except for the biosimilar comment, but really who cares about that, nobody is going to say I will not use this because a biosimilar may come out sometime. |

I've bolded another difference, although I'm not sure how significant that is. |

Boiler plate lies; lies all the way around.  |

Boiler plate lies; lies all the way around. Peppy, I can't believe the first point. "Does not last as long as regular insulin". WFT? Talk about taking a benefit of Afrezza and turning it into a negative. Afrezza is faster in and faster out which means it has less detrimental impacts than "regular" insulin. Oh and let's look at that word "regular". By "regular" they're talking about the synthetically manufactured substance that people inject into their bodies with a pointy foreign object. Afrezza is the real deal when it comes to HUMAN insulin and this makes is sound like it worthless. |

I expect MNKD management to contact GoodRX to get the description changed. I “expect” that as a shareholder but doubt anything will be changed. I agreed with Aged, it’s a boilerplate write up. Update: I sent a note to Rose, asking if anything can be done to improve the description on GoodRX. |
