Live Updates: July 2021 Drug Price Increases

Another July, another round of drug price hikes.

Our Research Team here at GoodRx regularly tracks the manufacturer drug price hikes that happen every year in January and July. And every year, it seems like more drugs increase in price. Last July, 67 drugs increased in price by an average of 3.1%, compared to 2019, when 37 brand drugs increased by an average of 4.3%. 

Throughout this month, the GoodRx Research Team will be tracking price increases for all FDA-approved brand and generic drugs. The increases below add to the over 800 drugs that increased in price during the month of January.

Below is the full list of brand and generic drugs that increased in price this month. In general, drugs that increase in price are specialty drugs that few people take. But the majority of them were already expensive and only continue to increase in price.
