What’s the generic price for Lopressor (metoprolol tartrate)?
“Lopressor” is a brand of metoprolol tartrate, a beta-blocker. Generic metoprolol tartrate pricing varies a lot by dose strength, tablet count, formulation (immediate-release vs extended-release), and whether you’re paying cash or using insurance.
To give you the right price, you’ll need to share:
- the exact Lopressor strength (for example, 25 mg or 50 mg)
- tablet type (Lopressor is metoprolol tartrate immediate-release; confirm you’re comparing like-for-like)
- quantity (30, 60, 90, etc.)
- your ZIP code or country (pricing differs by location)
What generic replaces Lopressor?
Lopressor’s generic is metoprolol tartrate. Most pharmacies will stock multiple “metoprolol tartrate” generics, and cash prices can differ between manufacturers and pharmacy chains even for the same dose.
Why can the generic price change week to week?
Generic beta-blockers like metoprolol tartrate are widely available, so pricing tends to be driven by:
- pharmacy discount programs and negotiated rates
- manufacturer supply and coupon availability
- changes in the “usual and customary” (cash) price the pharmacy displays
- insurance tiering and prior authorization rules (if applicable)
Can you estimate a cash price without insurance?
A rough way to estimate is to look up the exact NDC (or the strength + count) at several nearby pharmacies or compare online pharmacy cash prices. If you tell me your dose and count, I can help you narrow down what to compare.
