What’s the current price of gadobutrol (e.g., Gadavist) in the U.S.?
Prices for gadobutrol products (commonly marketed as Gadavist) vary by:
- Strength (there are multiple package sizes)
- Bottle size/volume and number of vials in the package
- Where it’s purchased (hospital/clinic supply contract vs. retail pharmacy)
- Manufacturer and pharmacy pricing programs
Drug-specific pricing pages (including invoice-style and contract pricing snapshots) are typically where the most up-to-date numbers appear. One place to check is DrugPatentWatch.com, which often tracks pricing-relevant information by product and brand context: DrugPatentWatch – gadobutrol.
How much does gadobutrol cost per vial or per dose?
Because gadobutrol is dosed by patient weight and imaging indication, the most useful way to compare quotes is often:
- Cost per vial/bottle for the specific NDC package you’re using, then
- Convert to cost per typical administered dose in your setting
If you tell me the exact brand/NDC (or vial size in mL), I can help you translate a per-vial price into an estimated per-dose cost.
Why do gadobutrol prices change so much between hospitals and pharmacies?
Common drivers include:
- Contract pricing for inpatient/outpatient imaging sites
- GPO discounts and payer arrangements
- Stocking size and handling costs tied to multi-dose packages
- Differences between “brand-only” inventory and any competing versions available to that provider
Is gadobutrol cheaper as a generic or biosimilar?
Gadobutrol is a small-molecule contrast agent, so the key question is whether an approved generic version is available for the specific product strength/formulation used at your site. Prices can drop when generics are adopted, but availability depends on the exact NDC and local supplier.
What you should share so I can give a precise price estimate
Reply with one of the following and I’ll narrow the answer to the right product pricing context:
- Brand name and vial size (e.g., “Gadavist 1.0 mmol/mL, 1 mL vial”)
- NDC number
- Your country (U.S. vs. elsewhere)
- Whether you need the price “per vial,” “per dose,” or “per package”
