Centany is the brand name used in a few countries (e.g., Brazil, Mexico, some parts of South America) for the antidepressant paroxetine. Because it’s a prescription drug, the price can vary quite a bit depending on:
| Factor | What it affects | Typical price ranges (approx.) |
|--------|-----------------|---------------------------------|
| Country & local market | Pharmacy pricing & generic competition | Brazil: R$25–R$55 per 30‑tablet pack (≈ $4–$9 USD).
Mexico: MXN 200–MXN 600 per 30‑tablet pack (≈ $10–$30 USD).
US (generic): $8–$20 per 30‑tablet pack. |
| Dosage | 10 mg vs. 20 mg tablets | Lower dose packs usually cheaper. |
| Insurance / Formularies | Coverage & copay | With insurance the copay might be $0–$10 per refill. |
| Pharmacy type | Chain vs. independent | Chain pharmacies may offer discounts or coupons. |
How to find the exact price for you
1. Check with a local pharmacy – Most pharmacies can give you the price for the exact strength and quantity you need.
2. Use price‑comparison websites – In Brazil, sites like Drogaria24h, Panvel, or Drogaria Araújo let you search by drug name. In Mexico, Farmacia Matus, Drogas La Europea, and SaludCero do the same.
3. Ask your prescriber – Sometimes doctors can direct you to the cheapest option or recommend a generic brand that’s equivalent.
4. Look into patient assistance programs – Some manufacturers run programs that can reduce out‑of‑pocket costs for qualifying patients.
A quick note on generic paroxetine
If you’re okay with a generic version (which contains the same active ingredient), you’ll typically find it at the lower end of the price range, especially in the US and many Latin American markets. Just make sure it’s the same dosage and form (tablet, capsule, etc.) as your prescription calls for.

Bottom line:
- In most Latin American markets, a 30‑tablet pack of Centany (20 mg) usually costs between R$25–R$55 in Brazil or MXN 200–MXN 600 in Mexico.
- In the United States, the generic version is roughly $8–$20 for a 30‑tablet pack.
If you give me the country or the exact dosage you’re looking for, I can narrow it down even more.
