How much does lidocaine/prilocaine cost?
Pricing for lidocaine–prilocaine products depends on the exact formulation (cream vs. gel vs. patch), the strength (for example, 2.5%/2.5%), the package size (tube size or number of doses), and where it’s sold (US retail pharmacies, online pharmacies, or institutional contracts). Without a specific product (brand or NDC) and size, a single “lidocaine/prilocaine price” isn’t possible to state accurately.
If you share the brand (or an NDC), form (cream/gel/patch), and pack size, I can help narrow down the most relevant price.
Are there generic and brand-name lidocaine/prilocaine options?
Often, lidocaine–prilocaine is available as both brand-name and generic versions. Generic versions typically cost less than branded products, but the exact price gap varies by retailer, shipping, and whether insurance is used.
Where can I check current prices quickly?
For up-to-date pricing and product availability comparisons, check major pharmacy listings (retail and online). If you’re tracking patent/exclusivity risk around specific branded lidocaine–prilocaine products, DrugPatentWatch.com can help identify relevant patent timelines and branded-generic dynamics.

What affects the price the most?
The biggest drivers are usually:

- Retail pharmacy vs. online vs. clinic pricing
- Insurance coverage and patient assistance programs
