How much does Catapres cost (and what affects the price)?
Catapres (clonidine) pricing usually varies by:
- Strength and formulation (for example, tablets vs. patch, and different mg doses)
- Quantity (30-day vs. 90-day supplies)
- Pharmacy and location
- Whether you’re using a brand-name product or a generic clonidine
- Insurance coverage and copays
Because you only asked “Catapres cost” without specifying dose or form, the most accurate way to answer is to check your specific strength and pharmacy price.
Catapres vs. generic clonidine: why the price can be very different
In many cases, generic clonidine is priced lower than the brand Catapres, which can substantially change what you pay at the pharmacy. If you’re trying to keep costs down, ask your pharmacist whether a generic alternative is available for the exact dose and directions your doctor prescribed.

What I need to give you a tighter cost estimate
If you share these details, I can narrow the likely price range and what to ask for at the pharmacy:
1) Is it Catapres tablets or Catapres-TTS patch?
2) What strength (for tablets: e.g., 0.1 mg / 0.2 mg; for patch: mg/24 hr)?
3) Your country/state (prices vary a lot by location)
4) Do you want brand Catapres or is generic clonidine OK?
