How much does Vistaril (hydroxyzine) cost?
Vistaril is the brand name for hydroxyzine, and its price can vary a lot by:
- Dose strength (tablet vs. capsule vs. liquid)
- Quantity (how many pills or mL)
- Pharmacy and location
- Whether you use insurance or pay cash
- Whether you use the brand name (“Vistaril”) or the generic (“hydroxyzine”)
Because you didn’t specify your strength or form, I can’t give an exact number from the information provided here.
What’s usually cheaper: brand Vistaril or generic hydroxyzine?
In most cases, generic hydroxyzine costs less than brand Vistaril, since generic versions are typically priced lower for the same active ingredient. If you’re trying to lower cost, ask the pharmacist whether the prescription can be filled as hydroxyzine generic (unless your clinician specifically requires the brand).
What affects your out-of-pocket price most?
Your out-of-pocket cost usually depends on:
- Your insurance plan’s copay/coinsurance
- Your deductible status
- The pharmacy’s cash price for that specific product strength and count
- Any discount card you use (sometimes lowers cash price, but not always with insurance)
How to get the fastest accurate price
To get the most accurate “Vistaril cost” for your situation, check prices for your exact:
- Strength (for example, 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg)
- Form (capsule, tablet, liquid)
- Quantity (30 vs 60 vs 90, etc.)
- Zip code/pharmacy
If you tell me the strength, form, and your zip code (or pharmacy name), I can help you figure out what to compare and what kind of price range is typical.
Are there assistance options if cost is high?
If you’re paying cash and it’s expensive, common options include:
- Switching to the generic hydroxyzine equivalent
- Using a pharmacy discount program
- Asking your prescriber about lower-cost alternatives within the same medication class, if appropriate
