Propranolol cost?

Propranolol is one of the most common beta‑blockers out there, and that popularity shows up in its price: the generic version is typically very inexpensive, while the name‑brand (Propranolol 40 mg tablets, brand name Inderal®) can be a bit pricier.

How the price can vary

1. Insurance – If you have prescription drug coverage, your copay is usually a small fraction (e.g., $10–$20) of the list price.
2. Manufacturer coupons & discount cards – Many pharmacies accept coupons for generic propranolol; you can also use sites like GoodRx or RxSaver.
3. Location – Prices in the U.S. are generally lower than in many other countries for the same drug because of different pharmacy pricing regulations.
4. Formulation – Liquid solution or extended‑release tablets are sometimes more expensive than the standard 40 mg tablets.
5. Supply volume – Buying a larger bottle (90 tablets or 120 tablets) often comes with a lower per‑tablet price.

Quick ways to cut costs

• Generic first – Always ask for the generic unless your doctor specifically says otherwise.
• Shop around – Use price‑comparison tools (GoodRx, Blink, etc.) to find the lowest price at nearby pharmacies.
• Ask your pharmacist – They may know about upcoming coupons or manufacturer savings programs.
• Bulk fill – If you’re on long‑term therapy, request a 90‑day fill to avoid refills every month.

Bottom line

If you’re paying out‑of‑pocket, you can expect a 30‑tablet bottle of generic propranolol to cost between $3 and $9. With a 90‑day supply it’s usually $15–$25. Brand‑name pills can push that to $40–$120 for the same period. With insurance, your copay will often be a fraction of those numbers. If you’re looking for the best deal, start by asking for generic, compare prices online, and take advantage of any discount cards your pharmacy offers.
