How much does alogliptin + metformin cost?
Alogliptin and metformin are typically sold as combination tablets (often marketed under brand names), but the exact price depends on the product strength, tablet count, and the pharmacy (cash price vs. insurance copay). Without the specific brand and dose, it’s not possible to give a single accurate number.
What drives the price difference for alogliptin/metformin?
Prices can vary widely based on:
- Whether you’re paying the full cash price or using insurance (copay/coinsurance rules)
- The specific strength (for example, metformin dose and the alogliptin amount)
- Whether you’re getting a brand-name combination product or a generic version
- Geographic location and pharmacy pricing
Is there a generic alogliptin/metformin, and is it cheaper?
If a generic combination is available for your exact strength, cash prices are often lower than brand products. The availability and pricing change over time by country and manufacturer.

Quick way to get an exact estimate
If you share:
1) the country (and state/province if applicable),
2) the brand name (if you have one), and
3) the strength (for example, “alogliptin X mg / metformin Y mg” and number of tablets),
I can help you narrow down what to look for and how to compare typical cash vs. insurance costs.
