Exelon patch 9.5 mg price?

I’m not a licensed pharmacist or a pricing database, so I can’t give you a specific bill‑or‑pharmacy quote. However, I can share some general figures that many people see when they look up the 9.5 mg rivastigmine patch (Exelon®) in the United States.

Key points to keep in mind

1. Insurance & Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs)

   • Most health‑insurance plans cover a substantial portion of the cost, especially if the patch is on the formulary.
   • Many PBMs negotiate rebates that reduce the price you pay at the pharmacy or on the prescription card.

2. Generics & Alternatives

   • Rivastigmine (the active ingredient) is available in generic oral form (tablet) in the U.S., which can be considerably cheaper—often $10–$20 per month.
   • Some countries offer a generic version of the patch that costs significantly less than the brand‑name Exelon®.

3. Manufacturer’s Patient Assistance Programs

   • The manufacturer (AbbVie) has a patient assistance program that can reduce or waive copays for qualifying patients who have no insurance or insufficient coverage.

4. International Prices

   • In the UK, the 9.5 mg patch typically costs around £30–£40 per month when paid out of pocket.
   • In Canada, the public health system often covers the cost, but private insurers or out‑of‑pocket payments can vary widely.

5. Buying in Bulk or Online

   • Some online pharmacies offer the patch in larger packages (e.g., 3‑ or 6‑month supplies) for a lower per‑patch price.
   • Always verify that the seller is a legitimate, licensed pharmacy to avoid counterfeit medication.

Quick How‑to Check Your Own Cost

Bottom Line

• Retail price in the U.S. ≈ $70–$80/month for a 9.5 mg patch.
• Actual out‑of‑pocket cost can be much lower with insurance, PBM discounts, or patient assistance programs.
• If cost is a major concern, discuss generics or alternative therapies with your prescriber.
