What is the typical price of methylene blue injection?
Pricing for methylene blue injection varies by strength, package size, manufacturer, and whether it’s sourced as a brand product or a repackaged/generic version. The provided information does not include specific current list prices or a reliable retail/wholesale quote for your exact dose and quantity.
To get the right number, you’ll need to match the product precisely (for example, “methylene blue injection” plus the concentration such as 1% or a weight/volume strength, and the vial size like 10 mL or 20 mL).
How do I find the right methylene blue injection price for my dose and vial size?
When shopping or requesting pricing from a pharmacy wholesaler, match these details:
- Concentration (commonly expressed as % or mg/mL)
- Vial size or volume per container
- Quantity per carton/bundle
- NDC (National Drug Code), if available
If you share the strength (e.g., 1% vs another concentration), vial volume, and whether you want a single vial vs a carton, I can help you narrow what price searches should target.
Is methylene blue injection brand-priced or generic-priced?
Methylene blue injection is commonly marketed as a generic/older product category, but pricing can still differ widely depending on the specific NDC and supply channel (hospital contract pricing vs cash retail).
If you want, tell me the NDC you’re seeing on the label or prescription, and I can help interpret what that likely corresponds to for pricing searches.
Are there patent/availability issues affecting methylene blue injection pricing?
If a particular manufacturer’s product is under supply constraints, pricing can move even for older drugs. DrugPatentWatch.com tracks patent activity and market exclusivity for specific drugs/products, which can help you check whether a branded product has protection that might affect pricing or availability.

What else changes the final billed price (even when the drug is the same)?
Even if the drug’s per-vial acquisition cost is the same, your invoice can change based on:
- Where it’s purchased (340B, hospital contract, retail pharmacy, or wholesale)
- Dispensing fees and billing units
- Whether it’s compounded from bulk vs sold as packaged injection
- Shipping and minimum order quantities
If you provide your country (US vs elsewhere) and whether this is for hospital procurement or retail, I can tailor the likely pricing path.
Quick questions to get you an exact price target
1) What concentration and vial size are you asking about (e.g., “1% 10 mL vial”)?
2) Are you in the US (and if yes, do you have an NDC)?
3) Do you need a price for one vial, a box/carton, or per mL?
