What is the cost of praluent?

Praluent (alirocumab) price varies a lot by country, insurer, and discounts. Here’s the typical picture in the United States:

- List price (before discounts): about $14,000 per year.
- Dosing options (to give you a sense of cost):
- 75 mg every 2 weeks (26 injections per year) ≈ around $540 per 75 mg dose, totaling roughly $14,000/year.
- 150 mg every 4 weeks (13 injections per year) ≈ around $1,080 per 150 mg dose, totaling roughly $14,000/year (often supplied as two 75 mg injections per dose).
- Out-of-pocket varies widely:
- With some commercial insurance plans and manufacturer savings programs, many patients pay little to nothing; for others, out-of-pocket can be hundreds of dollars per month.
- There are patient assistance programs and savings cards that can reduce cost for eligible people.

If you’d like, tell me your country and whether you have insurance or a prescription plan, and I can give a more specific estimate and show you how to check current pricing with a local pharmacy or your insurer.
