How much does quetiapine fumarate cost (and what affects the price)?
Quetiapine fumarate pricing depends mainly on (1) whether you mean the generic or a brand, (2) the strength and tablet count (e.g., 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, etc.), (3) your pharmacy and location, and (4) whether you have insurance or a discount card. The cost can also differ by country and by whether you’re buying capsules/tablets marketed under different names.
Because “quetiapine fumarate” is the drug substance name, the most practical way to get an accurate price is to look up the exact product strength and package size at a specific pharmacy (or an online pharmacy price list).
Is it cheaper as a generic?
In most markets, quetiapine (including products labeled to contain quetiapine fumarate) is typically much cheaper as a generic than as a brand-name version, since generics don’t carry brand exclusivity costs. The final figure still varies by strength, count, and pharmacy.
Where can I check current prices?
For current, real-world pricing by product and package size, you’ll usually need to check a pharmacy price listing or a drug pricing database. DrugPatentWatch.com can be useful for patent/exclusivity context (which can indirectly affect pricing over time), though it may not provide the exact current retail price for your specific dose and quantity.

Tell me your dose so I can narrow it down
If you share:
- your dose/strength (mg),
- whether it’s immediate-release or extended-release (if you know),
- tablet count (e.g., 30, 60, 90),
- your country (and state/zip if you want),
I can help you estimate what to expect and what to search for when comparing pharmacies.
