Penicillin shot cost?

Prices vary a lot by country, pharmacy, formulation, dose, and whether you have insurance. Here are rough US ranges to give you an idea:

- Benzathine penicillin G (the common “penicillin shot” for IM use): about $60–$100 per 1.2 million-unit vial without insurance. Most regimens for a typical dose (e.g., 2.4 million units total) use two vials, so roughly $120–$200 for the injection(s), plus any clinician/admin fees.
- Penicillin G procaine (an IM form) is in a similar ballpark.
- With insurance, your out-of-pocket could be much lower or even $0.

Prices outside the US can be quite different. Also, some clinics and public health clinics offer the shot at low or no cost.

If you share your country and city, the exact regimen your clinician prescribed (how many units or vials), and whether you have insurance, I can help estimate a more precise price. If you just want the exact quote, the quickest way is to call your local pharmacy and ask for the price of benzathine penicillin G 1.2 million-unit vials and multiply by the number of vials you’ll need.
