What does a 180 mg bempedoic acid tablet cost (and what affects the price)?
Bempedoic acid is sold as brand Nexletol (bempedoic acid 180 mg). Tablet prices vary a lot by country, pharmacy, insurance status, and whether you’re paying cash or using a discount program. The biggest drivers are:

- Your insurance coverage and formulary tier
- Pharmacy pricing (community vs. mail order)
- Whether manufacturer copay support or pharmacy discount cards apply
Because the price can change frequently and differs by location, you’ll usually need a live price lookup for your exact pharmacy and zip code.
