How much does propofol cost per dose or per vial?
Propofol pricing depends heavily on the specific product strength (and whether it is a generic or brand), the package size (vial or infusion bottle), and your setting (hospital supply pricing versus retail pharmacy pricing). The information provided here does not include current U.S. or country-specific propofol prices, so I can’t give a reliable dollar figure without those details.
What usually drives propofol price (generic vs brand, package size, strength)?
Propofol is typically sold in standardized strengths and packaging used for anesthesia and sedation. The biggest cost differences usually come from:
- Product type: brand-name versus authorized generic versus other generic manufacturers
- Strength (mg/mL) and container size (e.g., vial vs larger multi-dose container)
- Tendered hospital contracts and pharmacy reimbursement rules
- Whether it is billed as a procedure-administered drug versus purchased separately
Can I look up the price at the pharmacy?
If you mean retail pricing, propofol is often obtained through hospital or anesthesia supply channels more than typical walk-in retail dispensing. Where it is available for sale, the cash price can vary widely by pharmacy and location.
If you share the details, I can narrow it down
Tell me:
1) Your country (and zip/postal code if U.S.)
2) The form/strength (e.g., 10 mg/mL)
3) The packaging (vial size in mL or number of mL per bottle)
4) Whether you want cash retail price or hospital/insurance pricing
…and I’ll help estimate the likely cost range for that exact propofol product.
