Procardia is the brand name for nifedipine, a prescription calcium channel blocker. The price varies a lot depending on formulation (immediate-release vs. extended-release), dosage, quantity, pharmacy, and whether you have insurance or a coupon. A rough idea (in the U.S.): - Generic nifedipine (IR capsules, e.g., 10 mg or 20 mg): roughly $10–$40 for a 30-day supply with insurance; without insurance it can be higher, roughly $20–$60 depending on dose and pharmacy. - Brand Procardia (nifedipine IR): typically more expensive, often in the $80–$150+ range for a 30-day supply, depending on dose. - Procardia XL (extended-release): usually similar or a bit higher than the brand IR, with price varying by dose (30 mg, 60 mg, etc.). Tips to get an exact price: - Check with your local pharmacies (or their websites) for cash price. - Use discount tools like GoodRx, SingleCare, or the pharmacy’s coupon programs. - If you have insurance, ask about the formulary and preferred formulary price; you may get a lower copay with a generic nifedipine. - Ask the pharmacist about generic substitution if you’re prescribed Procardia; it’s often eligible for substitution with generic nifedipine. If you share your location (city/ZIP) and the exact formulation/dosage and how many days you need (e.g., 30 days of 10 mg capsules), I can give more specific price ranges or help you look up current cash prices. Also, do you already have insurance, or prefer a generic option to save money?
