What is Onpattro’s cost per vial?
Onpattro (patisiran) pricing is typically quoted as a per-dose price rather than a publicly listed “cost per vial.” In real-world purchasing, the total cost depends on factors like the patient’s weight-based dosing, vial size/concentration, treatment schedule, and payer/contracting terms.

Why “per vial” pricing can be hard to find for Onpattro
For high-cost specialty drugs like Onpattro, the manufacturer and wholesalers commonly price based on the administered dose (which for Onpattro is weight-based), not on a simple vial count. As a result, “cost per vial” figures you see online may come from different assumptions about:
- how many vials are needed to complete one dose for a given patient weight
- the vial size and how it’s billed in a given system
- payer discounts, patient assistance, and contract pricing
How to estimate your likely cost per dose (and what to ask your pharmacy)
To estimate a practical “cost per vial” number, ask your infusion pharmacy or specialty pharmacy for:
- the billed charge per vial (NDC-level)
- the number of vials used per 3-week dose for your weight
- the total billed charge per dose and your expected copay/coinsurance
If you share your patient weight and the vial strength your pharmacy uses, you can compute the effective cost per vial from the total dose charge.
