Since its release in 2006, the generic version has become a preferred choice for people wanting the same treatment effects at a lower cost.<\/p>\n<table class=\" singlecare-table\" role=\"table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"2\">\n<h2 id=\"zoloft-generic-availability\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Zoloft generic availability<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Generic name<\/b><\/td>\n<td>Sertraline<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>FDA approval date of generic version<\/b><\/td>\n<td>Jun. 30, 2006<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Is there a generic available for sale in the U.S.?<\/b><\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-differences-between-generic-vs-brand-name-zoloft\">What are the differences between generic vs. brand-name Zoloft?<\/h2>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/drugs\/frequently-asked-questions-popular-topics\/generic-drugs-questions-answers\">U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)<\/a>, a generic medicine works in the same way and provides the same clinical benefit as a brand-name medicine. Generic medications must meet the same standards for dosage, strength, safety, quality, and effectiveness as brand-name medications. Generic Zoloft comes in the same strengths and dosage forms (tablets and oral liquids) as the brand-name.<\/p>\n<p>The main difference between generics and brand-name drugs is the cost, with generics typically being less costly. However, generics and brand-name drugs can differ in other ways. For example, generic drugs may have different inactive ingredients, which can lead to differences in colors, shapes, or fillers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A large U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6415809\/\">database study<\/a> found that the use of generics was associated with clinical outcomes comparable to brand-name products. Since there may be a bias toward brand-name drugs, the study aimed to increase trust in generics among both patients and healthcare providers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<div id=\"coupon-cta\" class=\"coupon-cta master-template\">\n\t\t\t\t<p id=\"headline\">Save up to 80% on Zoloft with SingleCare<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<p id=\"subheadline\">Different pharmacies offer different prices for the same medication.

Therefore, research and development costs are significantly lower for generic drugs, resulting in lower overall costs for patients. Still, the cost of generic Zoloft can vary.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/sertraline-without-insurance\/\">The cost of sertraline without insurance<\/a> depends on various factors, such as the pharmacy location and the strength or quantity prescribed. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/zoloft\">average retail price of Zoloft<\/a> is around $594 for 30 of the 50 mg tablets, while the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/sertraline-hcl\">average retail price of sertraline<\/a> is around $78 for a 30-day supply of the same tablets. With a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/sertraline-hcl\">SingleCare coupon<\/a>, you could pay about $3 for 30 tablets of 50 mg of sertraline. In some cases, paying with a prescription discount card could save more than with insurance.<\/p>\n<p>Note: There may also be a significant difference in brand-name and generic pricing across different forms of medication (tablets vs. oral liquids).<\/p>\n<table class=\" singlecare-table\" role=\"table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\">\n<h3 id=\"brand-vs-generic-zoloft-prices\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Brand vs. generic Zoloft prices<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"header-row\">\n<td><\/td>\n<td><b>Brand-name Zoloft<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Zoloft generic (sertraline)<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Average cost without insurance<\/b><\/td>\n<td>$594 for 30, 50 mg tablets of Zoloft<\/td>\n<td>$78 for 30, 50 mg tablets of generic Zoloft<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>SingleCare\u2019s lowest price<\/b><\/td>\n<td>$461 for 30, 50 mg tablets of Zoloft<\/td>\n<td>$3 for 30, 50 mg tablets of generic Zoloft at Kroger<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Free coupons<\/b><\/td>\n<td><a class=\"cta-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/zoloft#coupons\">Zoloft coupons<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a class=\"cta-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/sertraline-hcl#coupons\">Sertraline coupons<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"is-zoloft-covered-by-insurance\">Is Zoloft covered by insurance?<\/h2>\n<p>Whether Zoloft is covered by insurance depends on the plan and its preferred drug list (formulary). In most cases, commercial insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid will cover a generic version of Zoloft.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sertraline is usually on a preferred tier of formularies. Meaning, they\u2019re usually covered. However, patients may be responsible for a copay or coinsurance. It\u2019s best to check with your insurance plan for exact details.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"generic-alternatives-to-zoloft\">Generic alternatives to Zoloft<\/h2>\n<p>While Zoloft is an effective treatment for major depressive disorder, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthquality.va.gov\/guidelines\/MH\/mdd\/\">clinical guidelines<\/a> may recommend different antidepressants as equally effective medicines. Alternatives may be beneficial for those who have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/sertraline-side-effects\/\">side effects of Zoloft<\/a> that they want to avoid or potential drug interactions with other medications.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Zoloft belongs to a group of antidepressants called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/drug-classes\/ssris\">selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)<\/a>. SSRIs work by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which can help regulate mood and improve feelings of well-being.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Other effective antidepressants include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Other SSRIs: Lexapro (escitalopram), Prozac (fluoxetine), Celexa (citalopram), Paxil (paroxetine)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/drug-classes\/snris\">Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs)<\/a>: Effexor (venlafaxine), Cymbalta (duloxetine), Pristiq (desvenlafaxine)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/drug-classes\/atypical-antidepressants\">Atypical antidepressants<\/a>: Wellbutrin (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/bupropion-hcl\">bupropion<\/a>), Remeron (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/mirtazapine\">mirtazapine<\/a>), Desyrel (trazodone), Viibryd (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/vilazodone-hcl\">vilazodone<\/a>), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/trintellix\">Trintellix<\/a> (vortioxetine)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The best option will depend on the condition being treated. It\u2019s best to consult a doctor or healthcare provider for their recommendation. Like Zoloft, many of these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/depression-treatment-and-medications\">other depression treatment options<\/a> are available as more affordable generic options.<\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/zoloft-alternatives\/\"><b>Zoloft alternatives<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-switch-from-zoloft-to-sertraline\">How to switch from Zoloft to sertraline<\/h2>\n<p>Switching from brand-name Zoloft to generic sertraline is a simple change. Prescribers can indicate \u201csubstitution permissible\u201d on the prescription or prescribe with the generic name. Pharmacists can then fill the prescription with the generic. Always ask the pharmacist before the prescription is filled if you have any questions about pricing, availability of generic alternatives, or any other prescription drug information.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The generic form can be started right away when switching from the brand name, as they both contain the same active ingredient.<\/p>\n<p>While switching from a brand-name to a generic drug can help reduce costs, there may be isolated cases where a medical doctor wants to keep a person on a brand-name drug. For example, a healthcare provider may be trying to avoid certain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merckmanuals.com\/home\/drugs\/brand-name-and-generic-drugs\/bioequivalence-and-interchangeability-of-generic-drugs\">inactive ingredients<\/a> in a medication that a person may have had an allergic reaction to in the past, such as dyes, preservatives, or fillers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For medications labeled as \u201cnarrow therapeutic index drugs\u201d, like certain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/drug-classes\/anticonvulsants\">anti-seizure medicines<\/a>, a doctor may prefer sticking with a brand name. This is because, with narrow therapeutic index drugs, small differences in the dose or blood concentration may lead to serious failure in therapy and possible adverse reactions that are life-threatening. However, this does not apply to Zoloft or sertraline.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, choosing a generic or brand-name drug comes down to price, health insurance coverage, and personal or prescriber preference. Generally, switching to the generic form of Zoloft is the right choice for most people and will save them money at each pharmacy visit. Search <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\">singlecare.com<\/a> to see how much these savings can be on the generic version of medications.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"expert-takeaway\">Expert takeaway\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Always ask your pharmacist about generic options before filling your Zoloft prescription.
