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.
