  • Generic formulary drugs: $16
  • Brand-name formulary drugs: $43
  • Non-formulary drugs: $76

*These copayments are for up to a 30-day supply of your prescription. (Note: Some non-formulary drugs and maintenance medications may not be available at retail network pharmacies.)

Not sure if you have a Kroger Pharmacy nearby? Other Kroger Pharmacy brand names include:

  • Baker's Pharmacy
