Stelara price without insurance?

Prices for Stelara (ustekinumab) without insurance vary a lot by country, dosage (45 mg or 90 mg), and pharmacy. In the United States, a rough ballpark is:

- 45 mg dose: around $8,000–$12,000 per injection
- 90 mg dose: roughly double that

Stelara is given as injections at weeks 0 and 4, then every 12 weeks. That’s about 6 injections in a year for most adults, so the list-price annual cost could be roughly in the tens of thousands (for 45 mg, on the order of $48,000–$72,000 per year; if using 90 mg doses, it would be higher).

Notes and tips:
- These are list prices and don’t reflect discounts, coupons, or assistance programs.
- Your out-of-pocket can be much lower with manufacturer savings programs, patient assistance, or coupons, and some pharmacies offer cash prices.
- If you’re outside the US, prices can be quite different (often lower in many countries, sometimes higher in others).

If you tell me your country and whether you’d use the 45 mg or 90 mg dose (and your weight if relevant), I can give a more specific estimate. I can also suggest ways to check current cash prices or savings programs.
