How much does lubiprostone cost (typical retail price)?
Lubiprostone (Amitiza) pricing depends on the dose strength and pharmacy. In many cases, the lowest out-of-pocket price comes from checking both cash/retail prices and any available manufacturer or pharmacy savings programs.
What is the most common dosage people ask about?
People most often look up lubiprostone prices for the common strengths used for conditions such as chronic idiopathic constipation or IBS with constipation (often 8 mcg or 24 mcg). Exact cost can differ by strength, monthly quantity (e.g., 30 vs. 60 capsules), and where it’s purchased.
Is there a generic lubiprostone, and does that change the price?
If a generic version is available, it can significantly lower cost versus the branded product (Amitiza). If you’re comparing options, check the exact drug name, strength, and manufacturer, since “generic” pricing still varies by pharmacy and inventory.

If you tell me your strength and quantity, I can narrow it down
To give you a more precise cost estimate, tell me:
1) the dose (e.g., 8 mcg or 24 mcg)
2) how many capsules per month (e.g., 30 or 60)
3) your country (prices vary by region)
4) whether you want branded (Amitiza) or any generic option
