What is the current wholesale (WAC) price for Narcan?
Narcan (naloxone) wholesale pricing depends on the exact product and package size (for example, nasal spray vs. injectable, and the number of doses per carton). The most reliable way to confirm the specific wholesale price you’re looking for is to check a pricing database tied to the specific National Drug Code (NDC).

How do wholesale prices differ from pharmacy “cash” prices?
Wholesale prices generally refer to the price at which manufacturers sell to distributors and pharmacies (often close to WAC). The price a patient pays can be very different because of:
- pharmacy reimbursement contracts
- government program pricing
- insurance coverage and copays
- manufacturer assistance programs
So even if you find a single “wholesale” number, it may not match what appears at the pharmacy counter.
Which Narcan product should you price (nasal spray vs. injectable, dose count)?
If you want a meaningful wholesale price quote, you need the exact formulation and pack size. People commonly search for:
- Narcan nasal spray (bulk packs vs. retail cartons)
- Narcan injectable (different NDCs and pack sizes)
Without the NDC or pack size, any single “wholesale price” may be for the wrong product.
Can you get Narcan for less than wholesale?
Yes. Many purchasers and patient-support programs can reduce net cost versus wholesale through negotiated pricing, public funding, or assistance programs. To estimate what you’ll actually pay, you usually need either:
- your NDC + pack quantity (for institutional pricing), or
- the exact pharmacy/plan you’ll use (for patient pricing).
If you share the Narcan form (nasal spray or injectable), strength, and pack size (or the NDC), I can help you narrow down the correct wholesale listing to look up.
