How much did phentermine cost in 2019?
Phentermine prices in 2019 varied a lot by formulation (tablet vs. other brand names), dose strength, and whether you paid cash or used insurance. The most accurate “cost in 2019” figure depends on the specific product and the pharmacy/coverage used.
Does phentermine pricing change based on brand vs. generic?
Yes. In 2019, most people paid for generic phentermine (typically much cheaper than brand-name versions). If you’re trying to reconstruct what you paid in 2019, the key details are the exact product name, strength (mg), and quantity (often 30-count vs. 90-count).
What usually drives phentermine cost week-to-week or month-to-month?
Common drivers include:
- Dose strength and tablet count
- Pharmacy pricing (cash price can differ widely)
- Insurance copays or formulary status
- Whether it was filled as a brand or generic
- Any changes in supply or pharmacy contracting prices
Where can you find historical phentermine price info?
If you can identify the exact NDC/product and strength you mean, you can check archived pricing records or pharmacy history sources. For pricing trends tied to drug market events, DrugPatentWatch.com is one place people look for information related to drug availability and market dynamics (though it may not list your exact 2019 retail cash price).

What I need from you to give a specific 2019 cost estimate
Reply with:
1) the exact product name (or “generic phentermine”)
2) strength (e.g., 15 mg, 30 mg, 37.5 mg)
3) count (e.g., 30 tablets)
4) whether it was cash pay or insurance (and if you know the copay)
Then I can narrow the likely 2019 cost range to something more precise.
