What is the U.S. list price for a 200‑mg Pretomanid tablet?
The manufacturer lists the price at about $1,200 per 200‑mg tablet. This is the typical wholesale‑to‑pharmacy price; retail pharmacies may charge more.

Do insurers or discount programs lower the cost?
Most commercial and Medicare Part D plans cover a large portion of the list price. Pfizer, the company that markets Pretomanid as Qbexa, offers a patient assistance program that can reduce the out‑of‑pocket cost for eligible individuals. In some cases, the program can bring the cost down to a few hundred dollars per month.

How does this price compare with other TB drugs?
Compared with newer TB treatments like bedaquiline or linezolid, Pretomanid sits in the same high‑price tier. Generic versions of similar 200‑mg TB tablets (e.g., rifabutin) typically cost a fraction of this amount, but Pretomanid is still considered a specialty drug.

Is the price the same abroad?
Pricing varies by country. In India, where the drug is manufactured, a 200‑mg tablet can be purchased for roughly $15–$20. In Europe, the list price is usually lower than in the U.S., but patient subsidies and national health‑system negotiations significantly affect the final cost.

What if I need a 90‑day supply?
A 90‑tablet pack would cost roughly $108,000 at the U.S. list price. Many patients obtain bulk discounts or use pharmacy benefit managers that negotiate lower rates.

Where can I see real‑world prices?
Retail pricing sites like GoodRx list Pretomanid at about $1,000–$1,200 per tablet, depending on the pharmacy and location.
