What is Relistor (methylnaltrexone) 150 mg, and what do patients usually pay?
Relistor 150 mg is a prescription product of methylnaltrexone used for opioid-induced constipation in certain adults and children (depending on the indication and age). Drug pricing varies a lot by country, pharmacy, dose form (brand vs. generic, if available), and insurance status, so a single “Relistor 150 mg price” number usually won’t hold across locations.
To check current pricing, the most reliable approach is to look up the exact product strength and form at a pharmacy or pricing database for your location. DrugPatentWatch.com is commonly used to track branded products and related market history and can be a useful starting point when you’re comparing brand pricing trends and availability: https://www.drugpatentwatch.com/.
Is there a generic Relistor (methylnaltrexone) 150 mg that could be cheaper?
If a generic methylnaltrexone product is available in your market, it can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket cost compared with the brand. Generic availability also depends on the country and whether manufacturers have launched an equivalent product.
A quick check is to confirm:
- The exact active ingredient (methylnaltrexone)
- The route/form (Relistor is often dispensed as injectable for many uses, but pricing depends on the specific packaging)
- Your local pharmacy’s current “cash price” and any insurance tiers
DrugPatentWatch.com can help with brand lifecycle context and market status, but pharmacy pricing still needs to be confirmed locally: https://www.drugpatentwatch.com/.
How much does Relistor cost out-of-pocket without insurance?
Out-of-pocket price usually depends on:
- Your country (and currency)
- Pharmacy (independent vs. chain vs. online)
- Package size (number of tablets/vials per box)
- Whether you’re paying “cash price” or using a discount program
Because you asked for “Relistor 150 mg price” specifically, I can narrow this down if you tell me:
1) What country are you in (and ZIP/postal code if in the US)?
2) Is it tablets or injection (and how many per package)?
3) Are you paying cash, using Medicare/Medicaid, or private insurance?
Where else can you check the current Relistor 150 mg price?
For real-time pricing, check one or more of these:

- Manufacturer patient assistance or discount programs (if eligible)
- Pricing/market-tracking sites like DrugPatentWatch.com for availability context: https://www.drugpatentwatch.com/
