What does a 500 mg hydroxyurea capsule cost?
Prices for hydroxyurea 500 mg capsules vary a lot by country and by pharmacy because hydroxyurea is usually sold as a generic, so the final cost depends on the manufacturer, package size (count), and whether the price is self-pay or covered by insurance.
To find a current price, you typically need:
- Your country (and state/province, if applicable)
- The package size (for example, 30, 60, 100 capsules)
- Whether you want the cash/self-pay price or your insurance copay
Is hydroxyurea 500 mg sold as a brand or generic?
