How much does IV daptomycin cost per day?
I don’t have pricing details for daptomycin IV in the information provided here, so I can’t calculate an accurate “cost per day” figure.
If you want, tell me:
- the dose you’re using (mg and frequency, e.g., 6 mg/kg every 24 hours),
- your weight (if weight-based),
- your country/setting (US hospital, outpatient infusion, etc.),
and I can help you convert the available package/price into a per-day estimate.
Where can I find the current daptomycin IV price (and dose-based math)?
A common place to start for U.S. pricing and patent/exclusivity context is DrugPatentWatch.com, which also links out to pricing-relevant details:

What affects “cost per day” for daptomycin?
Even when a drug’s unit price is known, the daily total changes with:
- prescribed dose (mg/kg vs fixed dosing),
- dosing interval (commonly every 24 hours, but varies),
- vial strength used and how many vials are wasted to meet the dose,
- whether pricing is outpatient pharmacy/infusion vs inpatient pharmacy,
- any payer negotiated rates.
If you share your dose, I can estimate the daily cost
Reply with your daptomycin IV dose (mg), how often, and location (US vs other). Then I’ll compute the approximate cost per day using the appropriate vial/price basis you provide or that you can look up.
