How much does Mycamine (micafungin) cost?
Mycamine pricing depends mainly on the dose (mg), the number of vials needed per treatment day, and where it’s purchased (hospital pharmacy vs. retail). It also varies by insurance coverage, negotiated hospital pricing, and patient assistance programs.
What factors change Mycamine’s out-of-pocket cost?
Your final price can change based on:
- Insurance plan and formulary status (in some settings it may be covered under inpatient benefits rather than pharmacy benefits).
- Whether the purchase is for inpatient use (often priced through hospital contracts) or outpatient/retail.
- Dose and treatment duration (micafungin regimens vary by indication).
- Location (prices differ by country and provider).
- Whether a patient is eligible for a manufacturer or other assistance program.
Is Mycamine the same as “micafungin” and does that affect price?
Mycamine is a brand name for micafungin. If a generic micafungin option is available in your region and setting, that can materially affect pricing versus the brand. Availability depends on local market approvals and hospital formulary decisions.
Can I compare Mycamine price by vial or by dose?
To compare across sellers, you generally need:
- The number of vials (and vial strength) and
- The dosing schedule for your condition.
Without those details, any single number could be misleading because the total course price changes quickly with dose and duration.

If you share the following, I can help you narrow what to ask for and how to compare offers:
- Your country (or state/province)
- Whether it’s inpatient hospital use or outpatient retail
- The prescribed dose in mg and how often (and for how many days)
- The vial size you were given (e.g., per-vial strength) or a photo/text of the label
- Whether you have insurance (and if you know your deductible/coinsurance)
