Gemtesa is a brand-name prescription drug that treats overactive bladder symptoms like urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency. Gemtesa belongs to a class of drugs called beta-3 adrenergic agonists, which relax the bladder muscles. As a result, the bladder has greater capacity. As a premium-priced drug with no generic alternative, the Gemtesa price can exceed $600 per month without insurance. Here are a few ways to reduce that cost.

How much does Gemtesa cost without insurance?
The Gemtesa 75 mg price averages $687 for 30 tablets. That means each pill costs about $23. It also means that you could spend more than $8,000 paying for Gemtesa each year without insurance coverage.
The exact price you pay, though, will depend on where you fill your prescription and how many tablets you receive at one time. Gemtesa may be available as a 90-day supply for some people taking it, which requires a larger upfront payment but may cost less than paying for a 30-day supply three separate months in a row.
How much does generic Gemtesa cost?
Currently, there is no generic version of Gemtesa. The earliest a generic may come on the market is 2029, but it could be as late as 2040. If buying brand-name Gemtesa isn’t an option for you, talk to your healthcare provider about switching to another prescription medication used to treat overactive bladder.

How to get Gemtesa without insurance
Gemtesa can cost as much as $687 per month without insurance and over $8,000 per year. This can be a challenging monthly expense for patients. The manufacturer offers a patient assistance program, but the discounts are only available to people with commercial insurance plans or uninsured people who can meet the eligibility requirements. Here are some other ways to save money on your Gemtesa prescription without insurance coverage.
1. Use a SingleCare discount card
Using a SingleCare prescription discount card to help pay for your Gemtesa prescription could save you almost $250 per month and $3,000 per year. Bring your card to any participating pharmacy and ask the pharmacist to tell you how much money it will save you on your prescription. Or simply use the SingleCare app to access your preferred pharmacy’s Gemtesa coupon on the go. SingleCare is free to use and available to everyone. Registered members can save even more, and it’s fast and free to join.
2. Compare pharmacy prices
Even with your SingleCare discount card, the amount you pay for Gemtesa can vary based on the pharmacy you use. On the SingleCare website, you can compare prices at different pharmacies to see which ones near you are offering the lowest price for Gemtesa. Don’t forget to ask your healthcare provider to send your prescription to your chosen pharmacy. If you’ve already had your prescription sent to a pharmacy but want to switch, your preferred pharmacy can usually call your healthcare provider or the original pharmacy to request a transfer.
3. Switch to a similar drug
If you still can’t afford your Gemtesa prescription, talk to your healthcare provider about Gemtesa alternatives. It may be cheaper to switch to another overactive bladder medication that’s covered under your insurance plan or has a lower retail price. Myrbetriq is the closest match to Gemtesa because it’s in the same class of drugs, but other alternatives include generic drugs like oxybutynin ER and trospium ER.
