How much does polymyxin B cost?
Pricing for polymyxin B depends mainly on (1) the dosage form (for example, injectable vs. other formulations), (2) strength per vial, and (3) the specific manufacturer or pharmacy. Many “polymyxin B” searches mix different products (and different package sizes), so the exact price can vary a lot.
If you tell me the strength (e.g., mg per vial) and dosage form you mean, I can help narrow what to look for.
Is polymyxin B cheaper as a generic?
In general, generics or alternative manufacturers can lower cost compared with the original branded product. The practical difference is usually tied to which product a hospital or pharmacy can source and what wholesaler pricing applies.

Why do costs vary so much between pharmacies and hospitals?
Even for the same generic drug name, the final cost can change because hospitals and retail pharmacies often use different:
- purchasing contracts/wholesalers
- package sizes (how many vials or bottles)
- billing method (cash price vs. insurance reimbursement)
- dispensing fees and markup rules
What’s the fastest way to get a real current price?
To get a reliable number, search using the exact product identifier (name + strength + form + package size). If you share those details (and your country/zip code), I can point you to the most relevant places to check pricing.
