Niacin and simvastatin cost?

Prices for niacin and simvastatin vary a lot by country, dosage, brand vs. generic, and whether you have insurance. Here are rough US ranges to give you an idea. If you tell me your location and exact dosages (and whether you want OTC vs prescription), I can tailor this more precisely.

- Simvastatin (generic)
- Typical 30-day supply (common doses like 10, 20, or 40 mg): about $5–$20 with a basic discount card or coupon; many pharmacies offer generic programs that can make it lower (as low as about $4–$10).
- Without discounts/insurance: roughly $10–$30 for 30 days, depending on the pharmacy.

- Niacin
- Immediate-release niacin (OTC, generic): usually around $5–$15 for a bottle (often 100 tablets or so), depending on the tablet strength.
- Extended-release niacin (Rx, e.g., Niaspan): generally more expensive; often $100–$400 per month without insurance; with insurance or coupons many people pay much less (sometimes $0–$60), depending on the plan.

Tips to save
- Check pharmacy discount programs (GoodRx, manufacturer coupons) and compare price at different stores.
- If you have insurance, check your formulary or ask the pharmacist for the lowest-cost generic option.
- For niacin, note that immediate-release and extended-release forms are different products; only take as prescribed by your clinician.

If you share:
- your country
- whether you want OTC niacin or Rx Niacin (Niaspan) and the exact dosages/doses you’re considering
- whether you have insurance

I can give more precise price ranges and point you to current cash prices at nearby pharmacies.
