Toujeo (insulin glargen) is a long-acting insulin prescribed to treat Type I and Type II diabetes. Diabetes is a disease related to the body’s ability to regulate the amount of glucose in the blood. Insulin is a hormone that lowers the blood glucose levels, allowing patients to more effectively control their blood sugar. It is often available as an injectable solution in a pre-filled pen.
Toujeo is a relatively new insulin product and there is currently no generic available for patients to purchase. Without insurance, patients can expect to pay nearly $400 a month for a prescription pen of Toujeo. There is no cure for diabetes, so patients are often prescribed injectable insulin over a long period of time. Even with insurance, co-pays begin to add up quickly in addition to the expense of other diabetic testing supplies.
Pharmacies offer discounts and accept coupons just like any other retail store would. Patients may freely print a Toujeo coupon to help offset some of the costs of their prescription. Using these online comparison shopping tools will help you find the best price from a pharmacy near you.
Manufacturer Coupons for Toujeo
Sanofi, the makers of Toujeo, offer additional assistance in the form of a Toujeo Savings program. The Sanofi Rx Savings card can reduce co-pays to as low as $10 (restrictions apply). Patients must register for the card online.
Sanofi also offers a Toujeo COACH program which helps patients maintain their strict diabetes drug and dietary regimens. These types of programs will often be the first ones to notify patients about any additional coupons the company may provide in the future.

Sanofi has an additional assistance program that may help consumers. Called the Sanofi Patient Connection, it requires registration online and is usually available to low-income families, or those who make a specific percentage under the poverty line.
Manufacturer discount programs are unavailable to Medicare and Medicaid recipients; however, those on government health programs may still qualify for additional governmental assistance on the costs of their prescriptions.
