What’s the current price of albendazole in India?
Albendazole prices in India vary a lot by brand, tablet strength (for example 200 mg vs 400 mg), pack size (number of tablets), and whether it’s sold as a generic or a branded product. Pricing can also change frequently due to supply and market factors.
To get the most accurate, up-to-date figures for the specific product you want, you typically need to check the exact brand and dose at the point of purchase (for example: pharmacy counter vs online pharmacy).
Which factors change the price most (brand, dose, and pack size)?
The biggest price drivers for albendazole in India are:
- Tablet strength: commonly sold strengths include 200 mg and 400 mg.
- Number of tablets per strip/pack.
- Brand vs generic labeling (brands can cost more than generics).
- Seller and channel (local pharmacy vs online listing).
- Whether the drug is part of a special procurement or hospital program.
Where can I check albendazole prices reliably in India?
For current market pricing, the most practical approach is to search by the exact formulation (albendazole 200 mg tablet or 400 mg tablet), then compare listings across:
- Online Indian pharmacies (they usually show price per strip and per tablet)
- Local pharmacies (often cheaper for generics but vary by location)
- Generic drug marketplaces (where available)
Is there a patent or brand exclusivity issue affecting albendazole pricing?
Albendazole is an older, off-patent medicine in most markets, so price differences in India are usually driven more by brand/manufacturer and retail distribution than by patent exclusivity.

If you tell me the dose and brand, I can help narrow the likely range
Reply with:
1) tablet strength (200 mg or 400 mg),
2) how many tablets you need (e.g., 1 strip, 2 tablets, 1 pack),
3) brand name (if any),
and I’ll help you identify what prices to look for and how to compare listings.
