How much is promethazine dm without insurance?

Question

Accepted Answer

Promethazine DM (OTC)
(“DM” stands for the added de‑xtromethorphan cough suppressant)

Item	Typical U.S. price (no insurance)	Notes
Brand‑name bottle (10–15 tablets, 2.5 mg each)	$8 – $15	Prices vary by pharmacy chain, location, and whether the bottle is 10, 12, or 15 tablets.
Generic bottle (same strength)	$5 – $10	Generics are usually 20‑30 % cheaper.
Online pharmacies	$6 – $12	Sites like GoodRx, Walmart.com, or drugstore chains’ e‑stores often have coupon codes that can reduce the price by 10–30 %.
Bulk or travel pack	$3 – $5 per 10‑tablet bottle	Some bulk retailers (e.g., Costco, Sam’s Club) sell 10‑tablet packs at lower prices if you’re a member.

Why the variation?
• Pharmacy markup and local competition.
• Whether the pharmacy offers “no‑insurance” “price‑match” or “pharmacy discount card” programs.
• The specific formulation (e.g., 10 mg of dextromethorphan vs. 2.5 mg of promethazine) can affect cost.

Quick ways to get the best price

Check a price‑comparison site – GoodRx, Drugstore.com, or Blink Health list current prices from multiple pharmacies and often include coupon codes.
Ask your local pharmacy – Many chain pharmacies (CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid) will match or beat the price shown on a price‑comparison site.
Use a pharmacy discount card – Programs like GoodRx, SingleCare, or the pharmacy’s own card can give you an additional 10–25 % off.
Buy generic – If the brand name isn’t required by your doctor, the generic version is usually the same strength at a lower cost.

Always read the label for dosing instructions, and if you have any medical questions about using promethazine DM, consult a healthcare professional.
