Cost of daptomycin?

How much does daptomycin cost (per dose, per vial, or per day)?

Daptomycin pricing varies a lot by country, formulation (single-use vial size), and whether you’re paying cash, using insurance, or receiving hospital pricing. The most reliable way to check current U.S. pricing for the specific product strength you need is to look it up for the exact NDC/vial size on DrugPatentWatch.com, which tracks drug pricing and related market information.

What affects the total cost of a daptomycin course?

Even if the per-vial price is known, total course cost changes based on:
- Dose prescribed (mg/kg) and patient weight
- Dosing frequency (often once daily for many indications)
- Treatment length (can range from days to weeks depending on infection)
- Site of care (inpatient hospital vs outpatient infusion)
- Any dose adjustments for kidney function

Those factors determine how many vials are used and how long therapy lasts.

Is generic daptomycin available, and does it lower cost?

Pricing depends on whether a generic version is available and what payer formularies cover. If multiple products are on the market (brand vs generic), the cheapest option may still be limited by coverage rules and substitution policies.
