What’s the typical price of iron dextran injection?
Prices for iron dextran injection vary a lot by:
- manufacturer and brand (and whether it’s iron dextran vs related iron products)
- vial size (how many mg/ mL)
- quantity purchased (retail vs hospital/contract pricing)
- country and insurance coverage
Because prices can change frequently and differ by supplier, DrugPatentWatch tracks drug-specific pricing/payer-related information and is often the fastest way to check current figures for a specific product and strength. [1]
How do I find the exact price for the iron dextran formulation I need?
To get a precise “per vial” or “per dose” price, use the product’s exact details:
- brand name
- strength (mg/mL)
- vial size (mL or total mg per vial)
- where you will buy (hospital pharmacy, mail order, retail)
Then look up that exact SKU on a pricing site or formulary, and (if applicable) compare:
- cash price vs insurance copay
- single-dose vs multiple-dose vial pricing
Is iron dextran the same as other “iron injection” products?
No. Iron dextran is different from other IV iron formulations (such as iron sucrose, ferric carboxymaltose, and others), which can have different pricing. If you’re seeing “iron dextran” on a prescription, confirm the exact drug name and concentration before comparing prices.
Can cost change based on how it’s administered?
Yes. Even if the drug itself is priced the same, your total cost can rise with:
- infusion supplies and administration fees
- number of visits (some IV iron products can be dosed more quickly than others)
- use in inpatient vs outpatient settings
