What does amlodipine 5 mg typically cost (U.S. prices)?
Amlodipine 5 mg is a widely used generic blood-pressure medicine, so its price usually depends far more on the pharmacy, quantity, and whether you have insurance or a discount card than on the drug itself. The same tablet strength can vary in cost across retailers.

How much do 30- vs 90-day supplies usually run?
Most pharmacies price amlodipine tablets in a way that makes 90-day supplies cheaper per tablet than 30-day supplies, especially when you use a generic/discount program. Your exact total will depend on:
- Whether the prescription is for 30 or 90 days
- Your pharmacy’s cash price
- Your insurance copay rules (fixed copay vs coinsurance)
- Whether you’re getting a specific generic manufacturer
