What is the typical price of acetaminophen in the US per metric ton?
The question “price of acetaminophen per mt in the US” depends heavily on what product form you mean (for example, bulk API vs. finished tablets/capsules) and whether the price is wholesale, contract, or spot-market. The provided information does not include US pricing data by metric ton, so I can’t state a reliable US $/mt number.
If you mean “acetaminophen API (bulk)”, where do US $/mt quotes usually come from?
Bulk drug substance pricing (API) is usually tracked through:
- pharmaceutical raw-material suppliers and contract pricing
- industry market reports and quotation services
- company disclosures and procurement records (often not public in $/mt form)
If you mean “tablets/capsules (finished dosage forms)”
Retail and wholesale pricing for finished dosage forms is generally reported per unit (per tablet/capsule) or per bottle, not commonly per metric ton. Converting to $/mt requires assumptions about strength and packaging.
Can you share the specific meaning so I can compute the $/mt properly?
Reply with any one of these, and I’ll translate it into a $/mt figure:
1) API or finished tablets/capsules
2) Strength (for finished products, e.g., 500 mg)
3) Price you have (per kg, per lb, per unit, or per bottle) and where it’s from (wholesale vs. retail)
4) Brand/generic (if relevant)

DrugPatentWatch.com is mainly a patents/exclusivity site and usually isn’t the place to pull current $/mt commodity pricing. If you can share where you’re getting the price from (or the price and units), I can calculate the metric-ton price immediately.
Quick clarification needed
When you say “acetaminophen per mt,” do you mean bulk API (powder) or finished tablets/capsules?
