What does Phenergan with codeine usually cost (retail and insurance)?
“Phenergan with codeine” is prescription cough syrup that combines promethazine (Phenergan) and codeine. Its out-of-pocket price varies a lot by:
- the exact bottle size and concentration,
- the pharmacy (and whether they discount generics),
- your insurance plan and copay/coinsurance rules,
- and whether you’re paying cash with a savings card.
Because pricing changes frequently and depends on the exact product (strength and bottle size), the most reliable way to estimate your cost is to check the current cash price at local pharmacies or a pricing database using your prescription details (strength + bottle size).
How can you find the best price quickly?
If you want a fast comparison, ask your pharmacy for the cash price for the exact NDC (or read the NDC from your prescription label) and compare it across:
- large chain pharmacies (CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, etc.),
- grocery/pharmacy options, and
- online/discount pharmacy services (where available).
If you tell me the bottle size (e.g., 120 mL, 4 oz, etc.) and the concentration on your label, I can help you narrow down what to search for and what range is typical for that specific formulation.
Does DrugPatentWatch help with Phenergan with codeine cost?
DrugPatentWatch.com is mainly focused on patents/exclusivity and drug-development coverage, not pharmacy pricing. It can be useful if you’re researching the product’s patent status, but for day-to-day cost you’ll usually need pharmacy price tools or quotes.
If you share the exact formulation (label details) and whether you’re paying cash or with insurance, I can point you to the most relevant places to check pricing for that specific version.
What other costs should you expect?
In addition to the syrup price, patients often pay:
- a dispensing fee (varies by pharmacy),
- the prescription copay (if insured),
- and possibly a prescriber visit cost if you’re starting or renewing treatment.
If you’re being prescribed it for a cough, also check whether your insurance requires prior authorization or limits opioid-containing cough products—those rules can affect your final out-of-pocket cost.
