How much does Roxicodone cost (price per tablet or per bottle)?
Roxicodone (oxycodone hydrochloride) pricing varies mainly by:
- Strength (for example, 5 mg vs 30 mg)
- Quantity (bottle size)
- Whether you’re using a cash price, a coupon program, or insurance
- Your pharmacy and location
Because “Roxicodone” is an established opioid and pricing is highly variable, the most reliable way to get an up-to-date out-of-pocket number is to check a live pharmacy price or a national price aggregator for your exact strength and count.
Is Roxicodone cheaper than brand-name alternatives (or other oxycodone products)?
Often, older opioid brands like Roxicodone can cost less than newer brand-name opioid products, but the biggest swing in cost usually comes from whether the specific product is available as a generic and what strength/pack size you’re buying. If you’re paying cash, generic oxycodone formulations are frequently the lowest-cost option—though you should confirm with your prescriber/pharmacist because switching opioid formulations can change dosing convenience and sometimes how the product is dispensed.
Generic vs brand: what’s the likely impact on cost?
If a generic version of oxycodone (same strength and formulation type) is available at your pharmacy, it is commonly less expensive than the brand. If you’re trying to reduce cost, ask your pharmacist whether a generic equivalent is available for the exact strength and schedule you were prescribed.

What to ask your pharmacist to lower the price fast
To get the lowest price at the counter, ask:
- “What’s the cash price for my exact strength and quantity?”
- “Is there a generic equivalent I can use for the same formulation?”
- “Is there a manufacturer coupon or pharmacy savings program available?”
- “Do you have a different NDC that’s cheaper but still the same strength and formulation?”
If you share the Roxicodone strength (mg) and the bottle quantity (like 30 tablets, 100 tablets, etc.) and your state/ZIP (or whether you’re paying cash vs insurance), I can help narrow what price-check route is most likely to show the best options.
