How much does a propofol vial cost (and why prices vary)?
Propofol prices can vary a lot based on:
- Strength (for example, 10 mg/mL vs. other concentrations)
- Bottle size/quantity per vial
- Supplier (brand vs. generic, and which wholesaler/retailer)
- Country and whether the cost is cash-pay or billed to insurance
Because propofol is widely available but sold under different package sizes and formulations, the exact “vial price” depends on the specific product (strength and vial volume) and the seller.
What exact propofol product should you price?
To get an accurate price quote, you typically need the label details:
- Concentration (commonly 10 mg/mL)
- Total volume per vial (for example, 20 mL, 50 mL, 100 mL, depending on the product)
- Whether it is an emulsion (standard propofol is an injectable lipid emulsion)
- Manufacturer (brand name or specific generic)
If you share the vial size and concentration (as written on the bottle) and your location (country/state), I can help you narrow to the correct product pricing information.
Is there a “standard” public list price for propofol?
Propofol often does not have one single universal price:
- Hospitals and surgery centers commonly negotiate or receive contracted pricing.
- Retail/cash pricing varies by pharmacy and region.
- Insurance reimbursement may not match shelf price.
So the best answer usually comes from a specific product listing (NDC in the U.S.) or from a current wholesaler/pharmacy quote.
Can I use DrugPatentWatch.com for propofol vial pricing?
DrugPatentWatch.com is focused on patents and exclusivity history, not day-to-day vial pricing, so it generally won’t give a direct “price per vial” figure. [1]
If you tell me your vial details, I can help you get the right number
Reply with:
- Country (and state/province if relevant)
- Vial concentration (mg/mL)
- Vial size (mL per vial)
- Brand name or generic (if you know it)
- Whether you want retail cash price or hospital/insurance cost
Then I can help you target the most relevant pricing source for that exact product.
