Losartan is a commonly prescribed angiotensin‑receptor blocker (ARB) used mainly for high blood pressure and heart failure. Because it’s a generic drug, its cost is typically much lower than the original brand (Cozaar). The price you pay can vary widely depending on a handful of factors:
| Factor | What it affects | Typical price range (US) |
|--------|-----------------|---------------------------|
| Formulation | 50 mg tablets (standard) | $10–$40 per 30‑day supply (30 tablets) |
| | 25 mg tablets (often cheaper) | $8–$32 per 30‑day supply |
| | 100 mg tablets (for high‑dose regimens) | $15–$50 per 30‑day supply |
| Pharmacy | Big‑chain chains (e.g., CVS, Walgreens) | $12–$35 |
| | Discount or online pharmacies (e.g., GoodRx, Blink) | $8–$25 |
| | Mail‑order (e.g., Optum, Amazon Pharmacy) | $9–$30 |
| Insurance | Covered 100 % (high deductible) | $0 (if fully covered) |
| | 20 % copay | $3–$10 |
| | No insurance | See above ranges |
| Geographic region | State or country | Prices can be 10‑30 % lower or higher |
How to get the lowest price
1. Use a price‑comparison tool – GoodRx, Blink, and other apps let you compare prices at local pharmacies.
2. Ask about a discount card – Many pharmacies have discount cards that can shave $5–$10 off a generic Losartan refill.
3. Check mail‑order or online pharmacies – They often run promotions or offer bulk‑purchase discounts.
4. Talk to your provider about a lower dose – 25 mg tablets are usually cheaper than 50 mg, and a 30‑day supply of 25 mg tablets can be almost half the cost of 50 mg.
5. Use your prescription drug discount program – If you’re not on insurance, the pharmacy may have a discount program or a “pharmacy savings card” that can reduce the price by 10‑20 %.

If you’re outside the U.S., generic Losartan is usually available at a lower cost than in the U.S. – for example, in Canada, a 30‑day supply might run from $10–$25, and in many European countries it can be under €10 (about $11). Prices in the U.K. and Australia are similar, with a 30‑day supply often under £10 (≈$12).
