How much do clonidine and chlorthalidone cost (and what affects the price)?
Clonidine and chlorthalidone prices can vary a lot based on:
- Dosage strength and tablet vs. liquid/extended-release form
- Brand vs. generic availability
- Quantity (30-day vs. 90-day supply)
- Pharmacy and location
- Whether you’re using cash price, insurance copays, or a discount card
Because the actual price depends on the exact product (strength, formulation, and package size), you usually need to look up the specific NDC/product at the pharmacy or in a price database.
Are clonidine and chlorthalidone usually available as generics?
Yes. Both clonidine and chlorthalidone are commonly available as generics, and generic versions are typically much cheaper than brand drugs. If you tell me the strength (for example, clonidine 0.1 mg tablets and chlorthalidone 25 mg tablets), I can help you narrow down what to look for.
What are the main “gotchas” when comparing clonidine vs. chlorthalidone prices?
- Clonidine may be sold in different release types (immediate-release vs. extended-release). Prices differ by formulation.
- Chlorthalidone is often inexpensive as a generic, but prices still change with tablet strength and pack size.
- Some pharmacies price generics slightly differently, so the same prescription can cost more at one chain vs. another.
Can I find current clonidine/chlorthalidone pricing online?

Tell me the exact products so you can get a real price estimate
Prices depend on the exact prescription. Reply with:
1) Clonidine strength and form (tablet or ER; if you know: immediate-release vs extended-release)
2) Chlorthalidone strength
3) Quantity (e.g., 30 tablets / 90 tablets)
4) Your country (and if in the US, your ZIP code and whether you want cash price or with insurance)
And I’ll help you identify the most likely generic options and where price differences usually come from.
