Prices for benzathine penicillin G vary a lot by country, brand vs generic, and how many vials you need. I can give a rough idea, but I’ll need to know your location and whether you want the benzathine penicillin G alone (often sold as Bicillin L-A) or the combination product Bicillin C-R (which includes procaine penicillin). Also, a full treatment course may require multiple vials. Very rough ballpark (uninsured or typical cash price): - United States: roughly $50–$150 per 1.2 million unit vial. A single 2.4 MU dose usually requires two vials, so about $100–$300 per dose. A full 3-dose course would be higher (often several hundred dollars), depending on insurance. - United Kingdom: price varies if privately purchased; NHS prescriptions are usually cheaper per vial (a few pounds per vial), with the total cost depending on the number of doses. - Other countries: prices vary widely; generics are often cheaper, but you’ll see a wide range depending on local pricing and supply. Practical tips: - A single 2.4 MU dose typically uses two 1.2 MU vials. - For a standard syphilis regimen, you might need multiple doses (e.g., 3 weekly doses for certain stages), so multiply the vial count accordingly. - Insurance coverage and national drug pricing programs can dramatically reduce out-of-pocket cost. - If you want, tell me your country (and whether you’re after the brand Bicillin L-A or Bicillin C-R), and whether you want price per vial or for a full course. I’ll tailor a more precise estimate.
