    GoodRx will offer Boehringer Ingelheim’s adalimumab-adbm, a biosimilar of AbbVie Inc.’s Humira (adalimumab), at a cash price of $550 per two-pack, revealed the companies on July 18. The price for the citrate-free biosimilar is 92% off that of its reference drug. It is available as both high-concentration and low-concentration formulations. The FDA has approved the 50 mg/mL version as interchangeable with Humira. Consumers may purchase the lower-cost tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor — which also is available as brand drug Cyltezo — at more than 70,000 retail pharmacies across the U.S.

    Walmart is opening 25 new autoimmune-focused Specialty Pharmacies of the Community (SPOC) across five states, said Kevin Host, Pharm.D., senior vice president of pharmacy at Walmart Health and Wellness Pharmacy, on July 25. In October 2023, the company launched six SPOC, which are now available in nine states: Alabama, Idaho, Louisiana, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas and Wisconsin.
