How much does Percocet 10 cost (typical cash price)?
“Percocet 10” usually refers to oxycodone/acetaminophen 10 mg (brand). Price depends heavily on whether you pay with insurance, which pharmacy you use, your location, and whether the drug is available as the brand or a generic.
If you are looking for a real-world price you can use today, you’ll usually need to check a pharmacy’s current cash price (or a pricing tool like GoodRx) for your ZIP code. This is because oxycodone/acetaminophen products can vary in price week to week and by retailer.
What price differences should you expect vs generic oxycodone/APAP?
In most markets, the generic version of oxycodone/acetaminophen is priced lower than brand Percocet. If you’re getting “10” tablets, the cost difference is often the biggest gap between paying for brand vs generic, assuming the strength and dosing schedule are the same.
Will insurance lower the Percocet 10 copay?
Often, yes. With insurance, the out-of-pocket cost is commonly a copay or coinsurance, and it may be impacted by:
- Formulary status (preferred vs non-preferred)
- Prior authorization requirements
- Pharmacy network
- Quantity limits
If you tell me your insurance type (or whether you’re paying cash) and your ZIP code, I can narrow what kind of range to look for.
Why do oxycodone products like Percocet 10 show wide price swings?
Several factors can move price:
- Controlled-substance distribution rules and pharmacy supply
- Brand vs generic availability
- Retail pricing policies
- Local market conditions
