Cost of naproxen 500mg tablet?

The price of a 500 mg naproxen tablet varies quite a bit depending on where you buy it, whether it’s a brand‑name or a generic, and whether you have insurance or a discount program. Here’s a rough guide:

| Country | Typical retail price (approx.) | Notes |
|---------|---------------------------------|-------|
| United States | $0.30 – $1.00 per tablet | Generic naproxen is usually around $0.30–$0.50. Brand names (e.g., Aleve®) can be $1–$1.50. Prices can drop with coupons or pharmacy discount cards. |
| Canada | $0.25 – $0.75 per tablet | Generic naproxen is usually under $0.50. |

| Australia | $0.10 – $0.40 per tablet | Generic is usually below $0.30. |

How to find the exact price for you:

1. Check your local pharmacy’s website – many pharmacies list current prices online.
2. Use price‑comparison tools – sites like GoodRx (US) or the NHS prescription price checker (UK) can give you exact figures.
3. Ask about discounts – many pharmacies offer coupons, loyalty cards, or discount programs that can lower the cost.
4. Insurance or health plans – if you have prescription coverage, the out‑of‑pocket cost may be much lower (sometimes $0–$5 per tablet, depending on your plan’s formulary and copay structure).

If you’re buying it OTC (over the counter), you can usually find a 500 mg tablet for a few cents in bulk packs, especially at discount retailers or online marketplaces. Always double‑check the active ingredient and dosage to ensure you’re getting the right product.
