What is the typical temozolomide price per pill?
Price varies a lot based on the strength (mg per capsule), whether you’re paying cash or using insurance, and the pharmacy you use. Temozolomide is commonly dispensed as hard-gelatin capsules, and the “per pill” cost usually reflects the drug’s per-capsule wholesale acquisition cost (WAC) plus pharmacy markup.
Can you estimate temozolomide cost without insurance?
Without insurance, temozolomide’s out-of-pocket price depends on the specific capsule strength (for example, 5 mg, 20 mg, 100 mg, 140 mg, 180 mg capsules are common) and the number of capsules in the pack. Because per-capsule costs scale with strength, the best way to get an accurate estimate is to match the exact NDC/pharmacy listing to the strength prescribed.
If you want, tell me the exact strength (e.g., 140 mg or 180 mg) and quantity your prescription is for (number of capsules per cycle), and I can help you translate that into an approximate per-pill cost.
Does the price change by strength or generic vs brand?
Yes. Temozolomide may be available in generic form depending on your country and time period, and different strengths can carry different per-capsule pricing even when the underlying drug is the same. Generics often cost less than the original brand, but exact per-pill amounts depend on current pricing in the pharmacy/market.

What’s the fastest way to get the exact cost for your prescription?
If you share:
1) the capsule strength (mg),
2) how many capsules per refill/cycle, and
3) your country (or whether you’re in the U.S.),
I can help you interpret what “cost per pill” means for that specific strength and what price range is typical to expect.
