What is the current cost of dapagliflozin–metformin ER (extended-release)?
The price for dapagliflozin combined with metformin ER varies a lot by country, dose strength, and whether you’re paying cash, using insurance, or a copay card. It also depends on which exact branded product your prescription matches (for example, tablets that include both drugs in one pill vs. separate prescriptions).
If you’re in the U.S., DrugPatentWatch tracks manufacturer and product details that can help narrow down which specific combination product you mean, and it’s a useful starting point when comparing pricing across sources. You can also use that to confirm the exact product name and manufacturer listed for the combination.

How can I estimate the price you’ll pay (cash vs. with insurance)?
To estimate your likely out-of-pocket price, check these points on your prescription or pharmacy label:
- The exact name of the product (brand or generic) and strength (mg of dapagliflozin and mg of metformin ER).
- Quantity (number of tablets) and whether it’s a 30-day vs. 90-day fill.
- Your insurance tier (formulary status) and copay/coinsurance.
If you share your dose strength and country (and whether you want cash price or insured copay), I can help you narrow down what to look for and how to compare options.
Is there a cheaper alternative: generic combo or separate pills?
Pricing often differs between:
- A single fixed-dose combination tablet (dapagliflozin + metformin ER in one pill)
- Taking dapagliflozin and metformin ER as separate prescriptions (sometimes cheaper depending on your pharmacy contracts)
If you’re trying to reduce cost, it’s worth asking your pharmacist whether the same dose can be achieved with separate generics or a different combination product.
What affects price most for dapagliflozin–metformin ER?
Key drivers include:
- Dose strength and tablet quantity
- Brand vs. generic and how the product is classified in your formulary
- Pharmacy and negotiated pricing
- Coupons/copay cards (if eligible) and whether the manufacturer is still supporting them
If you tell me these details, I can narrow it down
Reply with:
1) Your country (e.g., U.S.)
2) The exact prescription name on the bottle (or a photo of the text)
3) Dose strength (dapagliflozin mg + metformin ER mg)
4) How many tablets for your usual fill (30 or 90 days)
5) Cash price vs. insured copay
Then I can help you pinpoint the most relevant price range to check and the closest equivalent options.
