How much does Relistor (methylnaltrexone) cost?
Relistor pricing depends on the dosage form and how it’s priced in a specific pharmacy or health plan. The information available publicly typically varies by strength and package size, so the most reliable way to see current numbers is to check a live pricing source tied to U.S. dispensing (often pharmacy search results or payer-specific pricing).
What’s the list price vs. what patients actually pay?
Patients’ out-of-pocket cost can differ a lot from the cash (list) price because of:
- insurance coverage and formulary status
- Medicare Part D or commercial copays
- eligibility for manufacturer programs (if available)
- dispensing pharmacy (wholesale acquisition cost-based pricing can still vary by pharmacy)

What information do I need to give an accurate price range?
If you tell me:
1) the country (e.g., U.S.),
2) the exact product (vials/syringe vs oral tablets, and strength),
3) the package size (e.g., number of doses),
4) whether you need cash price or insurance copay estimate,
I can help narrow down what “price of Relistor” usually looks like for that exact situation using the provided sources.
Is Relistor sometimes cheaper if switched to an alternative?
Relistor is an opioid-induced constipation (OIC) treatment, and other OIC therapies may be priced differently depending on insurance coverage. If you share your insurance type (or whether you’re paying cash), I can point you toward what’s commonly compared for cost and coverage—without guessing.
