How much does quetiapine cost without insurance?
Quetiapine’s price changes a lot based on three things: (1) which form you take (immediate-release vs extended-release), (2) the strength (mg), and (3) whether you’re paying for a brand drug or a generic. Exact costs aren’t stated in the information available here, so the best way to get a real current number is to check your specific dose and formulation at a pharmacy or price site.
How much does generic quetiapine cost vs brand?
In general, generic quetiapine costs less than brand-name quetiapine. If you tell me:
- your dose (mg),
- whether it’s immediate-release or extended-release,
- and your pharmacy/city (or ZIP),
I can help you narrow down what you should expect to pay.
Does the price depend on the pill strength or ER vs IR?
Yes. Quetiapine immediate-release and extended-release (often marketed under different brand/formulations) can have different pricing, and stronger doses usually cost more than lower doses.
Where can you look up the current price?
A fast way to check is to search prices for your exact product (for example, “quetiapine ER 300 mg tablets” or “quetiapine IR 50 mg tablets”) at your usual pharmacy.

What to do if you need the cheapest option
If you’re minimizing cost, the practical levers are:
- ask whether your prescription can be filled with the generic,
- match the prescription to the correct formulation (ER vs IR),
- and compare cash prices across pharmacies.
If you share the exact quetiapine name on your bottle (and dose), I can tell you what pricing factors apply and what to search for to get the most accurate number.
