How much does cilostazol cost without insurance?
Cilostazol (often sold as generic) is usually priced based on the dose strength (e.g., 50 mg vs 100 mg), tablet count, and whether you’re buying brand or generic. In practice, generic cilostazol is typically much cheaper than brand versions.
Because prices can vary a lot by pharmacy and location, the most accurate way to estimate your cost is to check your specific dose and quantity at nearby pharmacies (or a national pharmacy discount program). If you tell me the exact strength (50 mg or 100 mg), the tablet count (e.g., 60 tablets/month), and your country/state, I can help narrow what to look for.
What affects the price of cilostazol the most?
The biggest price drivers tend to be:
- Generic vs brand: Generic usually costs far less.
- Dose and quantity: Higher strength and larger supplies usually cost more.
- Pharmacy pricing: Independent and chain pharmacies can quote different cash prices.
- Insurance coverage and copays: Your out-of-pocket price may depend on formulary status and copay tiers.
Is generic cilostazol available?
Cilostazol is widely prescribed, and generic availability is common in many markets, which is why cash prices are often lower than for brand drugs.

If you share a few details, I can estimate a realistic range
Reply with:
1) Your dose (50 mg or 100 mg)
2) How many tablets you need (e.g., 60 for a month)
3) Your location (country + state/province, if applicable)
4) Whether you’re paying cash, using Medicare/Medicaid, or have commercial insurance
Then I’ll help you figure out what cost range is typical and what options usually lower it.
