What is the cost of prednisone?

Prednisone is usually inexpensive, especially as a generic. The exact price depends on your country, the dose (5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, etc.), the number of tablets, and whether you have insurance.

In the United States, ballpark ranges for a generic prednisone tablet are roughly:
- 5 mg, 100 tablets: about $5–$10
- 10 mg, 100 tablets: about $8–$15
- 20 mg, 100 tablets: about $15–$25

Prices can be higher for brand-name versions (like Deltasone) or for other formulations (e.g., delayed-release Rayos). With insurance, many people pay much less (sometimes a nominal co-pay or even $0). Discount programs (GoodRx, SingleCare, etc.) can also reduce cash prices significantly.

If you tell me your country, the exact dose you need, and how many tablets you want (or your current prescription), I can give a more precise estimate and point you to potential savings.
