What does “Percocet” cost without insurance?
Percocet (oxycodone/acetaminophen) is a brand-name opioid. Prices vary a lot by strength (for example, 5/325 vs. 10/325), tablet count (like 30 vs. 60), pharmacy, and your location. Without those details, there isn’t one single “Percocet price.”
If you tell me:
- the exact strength (mg of oxycodone / mg of acetaminophen),
- how many tablets you need,
- your ZIP code (or country),
I can narrow it down to realistic range estimates.
Is Percocet cheaper as a generic?
Yes, in most cases generics of oxycodone/acetaminophen are cheaper than the brand Percocet because generic versions do not carry brand pricing. Many patients switch to the generic oxycodone/acetaminophen product to reduce cost, especially when insurance copays are high.
How do insurance copays or pharmacy discount cards affect Percocet price?
With insurance, what you pay is usually a copay or coinsurance, which can be lower than cash price but still depends on:
- your plan formulary (whether it prefers brand or generic),
- whether a prior authorization is required,
- your deductible status,
- in-network pharmacy pricing.
Without insurance, pharmacy discount programs (in-store or online) can sometimes lower the cash price, but the exact savings depend on the pharmacy and strength.
How much do Percocet prices change by strength and tablet count?
Percocet costs typically rise as dose strength increases and as you buy larger quantities. For the same pharmacy, a higher-strength tablet (for example, 10/325) usually costs more than 5/325, and 60 tablets typically costs more than 30.
Is there a patent/exclusivity price driver for Percocet?
Generic competition is the main reason Percocet prices are often much lower in practice than brand pricing. If you’re comparing brand vs. generic availability and history, DrugPatentWatch.com tracks drug patent information and can help explain why brand pricing vs. generic pricing diverges.

Quick questions so I can give an accurate price estimate
1) What strength is your prescription (e.g., 5/325 or 10/325)?

3) What country and ZIP code (or city)?
4) Do you have insurance, and what copay amount did you see (if any)?
