How much does Zofran cost per pill (tablet vs. ODT, generic vs. brand)?
“Zofran” is the brand name for ondansetron. The per-pill price changes based on:
- Formulation (oral tablet vs. orally disintegrating tablet/ODT)
- Strength (for example, 4 mg vs. 8 mg)
- Whether you’re paying cash or using insurance
- Pharmacy pricing and location

What if you meant the generic ondansetron instead of brand Zofran?
If you’re paying out of pocket, generic ondansetron is often much cheaper than brand Zofran, and the “per pill” cost will depend on the same factors (strength, tablet vs. ODT, and pharmacy).
If you tell me your exact strength (4 mg or 8 mg), form (tablet or ODT), and whether you want brand or generic, I can help you narrow down what you should expect for a per-pill price.
Why do Zofran prices vary so much at different pharmacies?
Zofran is an older, widely dispensed medicine, so cash prices can vary widely by:
- Pharmacy discount programs
- Local negotiated rates
- Whether the prescription is for brand-only or allows generics
- Quantity (per-pill cost often looks lower when priced for larger counts)
Cheapest way to estimate your true “price per pill”
To get the most accurate per-pill figure, use your prescription label or e-prescription details:
1) total number of pills (e.g., 30 tablets)
2) total price you were quoted (cash price or copay)
3) then divide total price by total pills
If you share those two numbers (or a screenshot of the quote with personal info removed), I can calculate the exact price per pill for your situation.
