Ways to Save on Epinephrine Auto-Injectors in the U.S. (2025)

Access to life-saving, affordable epinephrine remains crucial and often inaccessible in the United States, especially for those without insurance coverage or with limited prescription coverage. With insurance, generic EpiPen copays and cost typically range from $5 to $25, while brand-name EpiPens can range from $30 to $200 or more. A good RX article found on average, retail prices for EpiPen and EpiPen JR packages range from $650 to $750 without insurance. Below, I’ve gathered the most up-to-date savings resources and discount programs available in 2025 for Americans or those in the USA to help reduce the cost of epinephrine for those who need it.

Let’s break down the different options of epinephrine available, how to get them affordably, patient assistance programs, and what to do if you’re uninsured or struggling with costs.

Saving on Epinephrine

Teva Generic Epinephrine Auto-Injector (EpiPen Generic)

  • Savings Card (2025): Teva Copay Card
    Eligible, commercially insured patients can save up to $30 per carton, with a maximum of three cartons per prescription.
  • Note: If this offer becomes outdated in 2026, check tevaepinephrine.com for the latest updates. This is basically identical to the EpiPen.

☺Auvi-Q

  • Walgreens Savings: Walgreens Coupon Card
    I’ve personally gone to Walgreens with this and paid $35 per pack!
  • ASPN Pharmacy Option: If you are commercially insured, you may be able to get Auvi-Q for $35 or less via ASPN Pharmacies through your doctor’s prescription.

☺ Adrenaclick (Generic Epinephrine)


☺ EpiPen and EpiPen Jr.


☺ Neffy (Nasal Epinephrine Option)

My Personal Experience Using Neffy:

I used Neffy after a cross-contact allergic reaction to peanuts at a pizza place. I still don’t know what was contaminated—likely the cheese—but I went into anaphylaxis and had a lump-in-the-throat feeling, throat swelling, and a sense of doom. I used the Neffy in my right nostril and got to urgent care, where I received a Benadryl shot and a steroid shot. I didn’t need my second Neffy, but I had it ready just in case.

The Neffy worked great, but I want to report that it burned my nose SO BADLY. The burning got worse even as my allergic reaction improved. I couldn’t breathe through that nostril without pain for 6 hours. 24 hours later, it still felt raw and irritated. After a month, I still had excess mucus and nasal inflammation. Two months out, my allergist suspected a potential infection in that same irritated nostril. A prescription antibiotic finally cleared it up—and I feel better now!

What If I’m Uninsured?

If you’re uninsured and without affordable epinephrine, these manufacturer coupons may not always apply, but:

  • Use GoodRx to compare pharmacy prices.
  • Try a community health clinic or allergy clinic for samples or assistance programs.
  • Consider reaching out to the manufacturer’s patient support lines.

Some states (see below) are pushing for legislative caps—know your rights and options.

States That Have Passed or Introduced EpiPen Cost Cap Laws

Several states have enacted legislation to cap the out-of-pocket cost of epinephrine auto-injectors, typically ranging from $60 to $100 for a two-pack. As of the date of this post, here is a summary of each state’s law:

  • New York: Caps annual out-of-pocket costs at $100 for a two-pack; effective January 1, 2026.
  • Colorado: Caps cost at $60 for a two-pack; applies to both insured and uninsured individuals; effective January 1, 2024.
  • Illinois: Caps cost at $60 for a two-pack; applies to all types of epinephrine auto-injectors; effective January 1, 2025.
  • Delaware: Requires insurance plans to cover at least one formulation of epinephrine auto-injectors at the lowest tier of cost-sharing; no specific dollar cap.
  • Minnesota: Caps monthly out-of-pocket costs at $25 for medications and $50 for medical supplies; covers epinephrine auto-injectors under the medication cap; effective January 1, 2025.
  • New Jersey: Caps cost at $25 per 30-day supply; applies to at least one epinephrine auto-injector device per insurance plan; effective January 1, 2025.
  • Rhode Island: Eliminates out-of-pocket costs for one two-pack annually; effective January 1, 2025.
  • Missouri: Proposed legislation to cap the cost at $100 for a 30-day supply; not yet enacted.
  • Florida: The EPIPEN Act (H.R. 6965), introduced by Congressman Maxwell Frost (D-FL-10) in January 2024, aimed to cap out-of-pocket costs for epinephrine auto-injectors at $60 per two-pack for individuals with private insurance. Despite its potential to alleviate financial burdens for those with severe allergies, the bill did not advance beyond the introduction phase in the 118th Congress.

How to Advocate for Your State

If your state hasn’t passed a epinephrine cap law:

  1. Enter your address to find your state legislators here, scroll to “Find Your Legislators”.
  2. Ask them to support or introduce legislation capping epinephrine costs and share your personal story and the other state bills that have successfully passed—it matters. Let them know for people who need multiple packs, this is life-changing.

Many people assume one epinephrine prescription is enough for the year—but this isn’t always the case. I met a family whose teen used epinephrine 8 times in a month while identifying new allergies. Costs can add up fast, and without access programs, many are left vulnerable.
