The generic version of the multiple sclerosis drug Tecfidera is called Dimethyl Fumarate. This generic medication has been available since 2020.
Usually when a drug becomes generic its price goes way down. However, the Dimethyl Fumarate has a huge variability in cost depending on which pharmacy you use to fill it.
Grocery store pharmacies like HEB, Giant, Publix and Jewel-Osco sell Dimethyl Fumarate for $37 to $104 for a one-month supply. However, Costco, Walmart, Walgreens and CVS sell the exact same generic medication for $1,500 to $2,171.
