How much does Golytely (PEG 3350 electrolyte solution) cost?
Golytely prices vary a lot by pharmacy, your location, and whether you have insurance or a coupon. Costs can also depend on the package size and whether you’re buying as a branded product or a generic equivalent (many stores offer lower-cost PEG 3350 electrolyte solutions).
Is there a cheaper alternative to Golytely?
Often, yes. Many pharmacies stock generic PEG 3350 + electrolytes products that work the same way for bowel cleansing before procedures, and these typically cost less than Golytely.
What affects the out-of-pocket price the most?
The biggest drivers are:
Insurance coverage (copay vs. full price)
Pharmacy pricing (chains vs. local pharmacies)
Coupon/discount programs you use
Whether the prescription is for the branded product vs. a generic equivalent
What’s the best way to check Golytely cost quickly?
Check the price at a few nearby pharmacies (including the one you get prescriptions filled at) and compare:
Branded Golytely vs. generic “PEG 3350 electrolyte solution”
Cash price vs. any discount/coupon price
Your insurance copay for the exact NDC/package size
Can I avoid paying more by asking for a generic?
In many cases, yes. If your prescription allows substitution, asking the prescriber/pharmacy for “generic PEG 3350 electrolyte solution” instead of Golytely can reduce cost.
