What’s the typical retail price for oxycodone 5 mg?
Prices for oxycodone 5 mg depend heavily on the brand vs. generic, the exact product name (IR vs. ER), tablet strength, and the pharmacy (and whether you use a discount program). Without those details, there isn’t one reliable “market price” for oxycodone 5 mg.
If you share:
- the exact wording on the prescription (e.g., “oxycodone HCl 5 mg tablet,” and whether it’s immediate-release or extended-release), and
- your country (and ZIP, if you want U.S. pricing),
I can narrow the estimate to what people usually pay for that specific product.

Does “oxycodone 5 mg” mean the same thing across all pills?
Not always. “Oxycodone 5 mg” can refer to different formulations that can price differently:
- Immediate-release tablets vs. extended-release products
- Brand-name vs. generic versions
- Different manufacturers of the same strength/type
A pharmacy price can change if the prescription is substituted or if the “5 mg” refers to a different formulation than you expect.
How to get the lowest price fast
People typically reduce cost by:
- Using a generic equivalent when allowed
- Using a pharmacy discount card or comparing multiple pharmacies
- Checking whether the prescription can be filled as a different NDC/manufacturer (your prescriber/pharmacist can help)
If you tell me your location and whether it’s IR or ER, I can help you figure out what to ask for at the pharmacy to get the best price.
