The FDA requires generic medications to demonstrate bioequivalence, meaning the same active ingredient, strength, dosage form, and route of administration as the brand-name product. A generic version of Hydromorphone ER works the same way in the body as brand Exalgo.
Because generics don't carry the original research and marketing costs, they usually cost far less while meeting the same FDA quality, strength, and purity standards. Read our generic vs. brand explainer →

Steps to save on Exalgo
1. Compare cash prices
Compare Exalgo cash prices across every US pharmacy before you fill — the same drug can cost several times more at one counter than another.
2. Check for a generic
Ask whether a generic or therapeutic alternative is available — generics are FDA-rated therapeutically equivalent and usually cost far less.
3. Apply a pharmacy coupon
Use a free discount coupon (such as GoodRx) at the pharmacy counter. Coupons and insurance cannot be combined, so compare the cash-coupon price against your copay.
4. Ask about patient assistance
Ask the manufacturer and nonprofit foundations whether a patient-assistance or copay program covers this medication if you qualify.
5. Try mail-order
Mail-order pharmacies like Mark Cuban Cost Plus often price 90-day generic supplies below retail. Confirm the drug is in their catalog first.
