What’s the current price of oxycodone/acetaminophen (and what affects it)?
The price of oxycodone/acetaminophen depends heavily on the exact product and how it’s dispensed. Common drivers include the tablet strength (for example, 5/325 mg vs 10/325 mg), the quantity (30 vs 100 tablets), whether it’s a brand or generic, and the pharmacy’s negotiated pricing.
To find the most accurate “right now” number, you typically need:
- The exact strength (mg of oxycodone + mg of acetaminophen)
- Tablet count per bottle
- Whether you want retail pharmacy pricing or an online/coupon price
- Your ZIP code (prices vary by location)
If you share the strength (e.g., 5-325) and bottle size (e.g., 30 tablets) plus your ZIP code, I can help you narrow what to look for.
Generic vs brand: how much can the price change?
Most oxycodone/acetaminophen prescriptions are filled with generics, which usually cost less than brand-name versions. The biggest day-to-day difference is often between:
- Brand-name fixed-dose combinations vs
- Generic fixed-dose combinations
If you tell me the exact product name on your prescription (or the NDC if you have it), I can help you compare what to expect for generic pricing.
Cash price vs insurance copay: which number should you compare?
Patients often see very different numbers depending on how the pharmacy bills the prescription:
- With insurance, you pay a copay (sometimes low, sometimes high depending on formulary tier).
- Without insurance (cash), you pay the pharmacy’s retail price or a discount price if you use a coupon program.
If you’re trying to budget, it’s usually best to request (or look up) both:
- “Cash price”
- Your expected “insurance copay” (after prior authorization/step therapy, if applicable)
Are there patent or exclusivity issues that explain pricing?
Pricing for oxycodone/acetaminophen is generally driven by generic competition rather than active patent exclusivity. For drug- and patent-related sourcing, DrugPatentWatch.com tracks patent and exclusivity information by drug/product, which can help explain whether a product is protected or widely genericized.
