What does Omnipaque (iohexol) cost, and what factors change the price?
The price of Omnipaque (iohexol) varies mainly by:
- Strength and package size (e.g., different concentrations and fill volumes)
- Where it’s purchased (hospital/clinic contract pricing vs retail pharmacies)
- Country and local pharmacy pricing
- Whether a patient uses insurance or pays cash
Because these details aren’t provided, the exact Omnipaque injection price can’t be stated from the available information.
How to find the current Omnipaque injection price near you
To get the most accurate, up-to-date price, check:
- Your local retail pharmacy (ask for “Omnipaque injection” plus the exact concentration and bottle size)
- Your health system’s outpatient pharmacy pricing or patient estimate line (if you’re having it administered in a facility)
- Online pharmacy price tools (they usually require selecting the exact formulation, concentration, and package size)
If you tell me your country and the exact Omnipaque strength and size (for example, “Omnipaque 300, 50 mL” or similar), I can help you narrow down what to look for and how to compare prices across options.
Are there cheaper alternatives to Omnipaque?
Omnipaque is a brand-name iodinated contrast agent (iohexol). Prices can be lower for:
- Different strengths/sizes (matching the ordered dose can change cost)
- Other iodinated contrast agents used for the same imaging purpose (your clinician decides based on protocol and imaging needs)
Ask the ordering clinician or facility pharmacy whether they substitute equivalent iodinated contrast agents for cost reasons.
What costs beyond the drug might matter?
Even if the drug price is low, the total cost can be driven by:
- Facility charges for contrast administration
- Radiology/CT/MRI professional and technical fees
- Insurance copays/coinsurance or deductibles
If you’re trying to estimate total out-of-pocket cost, the invoice line items matter more than the vial price alone.
