Key Takeaways:
- Synjardy is FDA-approved as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults and pediatric patients aged 10 years and older with type 2 diabetes. Synjardy XR is the once-daily extended-release version.
- Without assistance, the average retail price runs approximately $700–$870 per month, and approximately $240–$700 per month with publicly listed coupons depending on strength and pharmacy.
- Through AffordMyPrescriptions, qualifying patients can access Betaseron for a flat $69.95 per month while our advocacy team manages the entire enrollment, refills, and annual re-certification process.
- Generic empagliflozin and generic metformin are available as separate medicines at much lower cost; many patients can meet the same therapeutic goal at a fraction of the price by taking the components separately.
What is Synjardy Prescription Assistance Program?
The Synjardy Prescription Assistance Program is a manufacturer-sponsored initiative that provides Synjardy and Synjardy XR at little or no medication cost to qualifying patients based on income and insurance status. The program is designed for adults and adolescents with type 2 diabetes who are uninsured or underinsured.
Navigating the program on your own means dealing with eligibility verification, prescriber coordination, documentation requirements, and renewal deadlines — all while managing a chronic condition that requires consistent daily therapy.
AffordMyPrescriptions eliminates that burden. For a flat $69.95 per month, our Patient Advocates handle every step of your enrollment, from initial application through ongoing refill coordination and annual re-certification — so you focus on your health, not paperwork.

Understanding Synjardy:
Synjardy (empagliflozin/metformin) is an oral combination tablet for adults and pediatric patients aged 10 years and older with type 2 diabetes. The immediate-release form is available in four strengths (5/500 mg, 5/1,000 mg, 12.5/500 mg, 12.5/1,000 mg) and is taken twice daily with meals. Synjardy XR is a once-daily extended-release version taken with the morning meal. Maximum daily dose is 25 mg empagliflozin and 2,000 mg metformin.
How It Works:
Synjardy manages type 2 diabetes by combining two medications that target blood sugar in different ways. The metformin component reduces the amount of sugar produced by the liver and helps the body use its own insulin more effectively. Meanwhile, the empagliflozin component works through the kidneys to filter excess sugar out of the bloodstream and into the urine, leading to lower overall blood-sugar levels.
Form and Use:
Immediate-release Synjardy is typically taken as one tablet twice daily with meals, with the dosage gradually increased to help the stomach adjust. There is also an extended-release version, Synjardy XR, which is taken just once a day with a morning meal. Taking these tablets with food is an important part of the daily routine to ensure the medication works as intended.
Generic Availability:
As of 2026, a generic version of the combined Synjardy tablet is not available in the U.S. due to active patent protections. However, both of its active ingredients, empagliflozin and metformin, can be prescribed as separate generic medications. Patients may discuss with their healthcare provider whether taking these two generics individually is a viable way to reach their treatment goals.
Warnings:
Synjardy is not intended for the treatment of type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. It carries a boxed warning for lactic acidosis, a rare but serious side effect associated with the metformin component. Additionally, because both active ingredients involve the kidneys, patients with reduced kidney function must be carefully evaluated by their prescriber before and during use.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
How Much Does Synjardy Cost Without Insurance?
The average retail price runs approximately $700–$870 per month, and approximately $240–$700 with publicly listed coupons depending on strength and pharmacy. Through AffordMyPrescriptions, qualifying patients receive Synjardy at no medication cost — our $69.95 monthly fee covers full advocacy and program management.
Is This The Same Synjardy I'd Get At A Pharmacy?
Yes. The Synjardy supplied through the assistance program is the identical FDA-approved empagliflozin/metformin combination tablet you would receive at a retail pharmacy — same active ingredients, same dose strengths, same packaging.
Can Children Take Synjardy?
Synjardy is FDA-approved for adults and for pediatric patients aged 10 years and older with type 2 diabetes. The decision to use it in a younger patient belongs with the pediatric endocrinology team.
Are There Cheaper Generic Alternatives I Should Know About?
Yes. Generic empagliflozin and generic metformin are both available as separate medicines, and generic metformin in particular is among the cheapest prescription medications on the market. If you do not specifically need both medicines combined into one tablet, your prescriber may be able to write the components separately as generics — typically dramatically cheaper than brand Synjardy. We mention this directly because for many patients, splitting the combination into generics is a better path than paying for our advocacy on the brand.
What If My Application Is Denied?
If your initial application is denied, we explore alternative savings paths on your behalf — including the manufacturer’s copay savings card if you have commercial insurance ($0/fill, up to $100/30-day or $450/90-day), independent foundations such as the PAN Foundation or HealthWell Foundation for diabetes-related funds, or asking your prescriber whether splitting Synjardy into generics would meet your treatment goals at much lower cost. If we cannot find a path to medication access, you will not be charged our service fee.
How Long Does It Take To Get Approved?
Most enrolled patients receive their first Synjardy shipment within two to four weeks of completing the documentation. Timing depends on how quickly your prescriber returns the required forms and the program processes your application.
