How much does mesalamine cost (retail price vs. insurance price)?
I can’t give a reliable “mesalamine DR price” figure without knowing which exact product and strength you mean (for example, Delayed Release vs. Extended Release, tablet vs. capsule, and the mg strength). Mesalamine also comes in both brand and generic versions, and prices vary a lot by dose, quantity, and pharmacy.
If you tell me the exact name on the bottle (including “DR”/“delayed release,” strength like 400 mg or 800 mg, and whether it’s tablets or capsules) and your ZIP code (or the country you’re in), I can narrow it down to the right pricing range.
Is “DR” delayed-release mesalamine—and does it change the price?
“DR” usually means delayed-release. Different formulations of mesalamine (for example, delayed-release tablets vs. extended-release capsules) are treated as different products, which can affect pricing even when the active ingredient is the same.
To price the right item, the bottle label matters:
- “Delayed-release” (DR) vs “extended-release” (ER)
- mg strength per tablet/capsule
- package size (how many tablets/capsules)
What’s the biggest driver of mesalamine DR cost: brand vs generic?
Mesalamine is widely available as generics, which typically lowers cost compared with brand products. If your prescription is for a brand, the copay and cash price can be higher than for generics. Insurance formularies also affect what you pay.
