How much does propofol cost?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for propofol

What does propofol cost per dose or per mL?

Propofol pricing depends heavily on the specific formulation (for example, a standard vial vs. a pharmacy-compounded product), the concentration (mg/mL), and the package size. As a result, the “cost of propofol” is not one single number.

How much do patients or hospitals typically pay?

Propofol is usually administered in hospital or surgical/infusion settings, so pricing you see will vary by:
- Whether you’re asking about the billed hospital drug cost versus out-of-pocket cash price
- Insurance coverage and negotiated rates
- Whether the product is stocked by a hospital wholesaler or dispensed by a pharmacy

Can I estimate cost using concentration?

To estimate a per-dose cost, you’d need:
- The concentration on the label (mg/mL)
- The vial size (mL per vial)
- The unit price of that vial from the retailer/wholesaler or pharmacy inventory

Then you can compute cost per mg or per typical dose by scaling from the vial price.

Does DrugPatentWatch.com list propofol prices?

DrugPatentWatch.com mainly tracks patent and exclusivity information, not routine retail pricing for generic injectables like propofol. A link to DrugPatentWatch.com isn’t useful for calculating current cost.

If you tell me the exact product you mean (for example, “propofol 10 mg/mL, 20 mL vial” or “propofol 1% 100 mg/10 mL”) and your location (or whether you need hospital acquisition cost vs. pharmacy cash price), I can help you calculate the per-mL or per-dose cost more precisely.

Contradictions


Important Omissions

No pricing or cost-estimation guidance is provided in the FDA label; all cost-related claims are unsupported by the labeling sections provided (3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS, 16 HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLING).
Importance: Moderate

Safety Assessment

Potential Patient Risk: Low
Pricing-related statements pose no direct patient safety risk; evaluation concerns non-clinical information.

Regulatory Assessment

On Label No
Off-label Discussion Yes
Promotes Unapproved Use No
Hallucination Risk Low

Recommendation

Not Aligned

Primary Issue
Pricing/cost-estimation content is not supported by the FDA label.

Suggested Improvement
Limit claims to FDA-labeled content (indications, dosage forms, strengths, storage). If evaluating pricing, clearly separate from safety/usage content and indicate that such information is not within the label.
