Your Guide to Affordable Jardiance® (Empagliflozin) Access For Diabetes Treatment with MedsPartner

Summary - This blog provides the latest updates as of September 2025 on the use of Jardiance® for diabetes management, along with practical options to access it at more affordable prices when the branded medication is costly.

Dealing with diabetes is not just about lifestyle changes and regular monitoring -  it’s also about having access to the right medications at budget-friendly prices. One of the most commonly prescribed drugs for Diabetes is Jardiance® (empagliflozin). It helps lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes and reduces the risk of heart failure in certain patients.

The challenge, though? In countries like the USA, UK, and Australia, Jardiance® can cost hundreds of dollars each month, putting it out of reach for many patients, leaving them overwhelmed.

In this blog, we break down everything you need to know about Jardiance®, from its generics to safe and affordable access.

What is Jardiance® used for?

If you are dealing with type 2 diabetes, you may have been prescribed Jardiance® as it helps to control blood sugar. It is also given to patients with heart failure or kidney problems, as it helps reduce the risk of serious complications in such cases.

Why is Jardiance® expensive?

Jardiance® costs remain high as it’s still under patent protection, and the alternatives are not yet available in the USA, UK, and many other countries. The brand manufacturer often holds exclusive rights, allowing them to set higher prices to recover research, development, and clinical trial costs while generating profit. Once the patent expires and generics enter the market, prices are expected to fall.

How can patients deal with the high price of Jardiance®?

While generic Jardiance® is approved and available in a few countries, including India, many regions, like the US, UK, Australia, and much of Europe, do not have local access to generics due to ongoing patent protections and regulatory exclusivities. In these regions, patients are often limited to the expensive branded version. This makes trusted personal importation one of the few viable pathways for accessing affordable diabetes treatment.

Are there other ways to get Jardiance® for cheaper?

Government schemes like Medicare (USA), NHS (UK), PBS (Australia) and Pharmac (NZ) offer cost relief on Jardiance® , if it is prescribed for eligible uses.

For patients struggling with Jardiance® costs, affordable access is possible through manufacturer assistance programs, copay cards, and patient support initiatives. Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly, who co-market Jardiance®  in the U.S., offer a Savings Card that can reduce copays for eligible insured patients. 

Uninsured or underinsured patients may get free meds through Boehringer Ingelheim Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program if they qualify. Nonprofit orgs can also help, though access varies by insurance type, state, and patient eligibility.

However, these programs may not exist in all countries, and where they do exist, many patients may still not be eligible. For those patients, personal importation of affordable generic versions of Jardiance® is a suitable option, through credible sources like MedsPartner.

Case Study: Accessing Jardiance with MedsPartner

Mr. R., a 62-year-old living in Melbourne, was prescribed Jardiance to help manage his type 2 diabetes. Despite his doctor’s recommendation, the out-of-pocket costs in Australia made it difficult for him to continue long-term therapy, as he did not qualify for the subsidized PBS price due to certain eligibility criteria. After discovering MedsPartner through an online patient forum and going through excellent customer reviews on Trustpilot, he connected with our team, who guided him through the importation process. Within a few weeks, he was able to access authentic Jardiance at a fraction of the local price.

Since then, Mr. R. has continued his treatment without interruption. His follow-up reports show improved blood sugar control and overall well-being, giving him the confidence to manage his condition without financial stress.

When will Jardiance® go generic?

Generic entry is expected in the US around 2034. But generic equivalents of Jardiance® are now available in some markets like India, and they are bioequivalent to the branded version. That means that when compared to the brand medicine, the generic version has a similar:

• Active ingredient
