How much does phytonadione cost (vitamin K1)?
Phytonadione (vitamin K1) pricing isn’t fixed because it depends on the exact product (brand vs generic), strength (for example 10 mg/mL injection), dosage form (oral drops/tablets vs injection), and where it’s purchased (retail pharmacy vs hospital/wholesale). The specific cost you’ll pay can also vary by insurance coverage and location.
What’s the cheapest way to buy phytonadione?
The lowest out-of-pocket price often comes from comparing:
- Generic phytonadione vs branded formulations
- Different dosage forms (oral vs injectable)
- Retail pharmacy prices vs discount programs (cash pricing)
- Different package sizes (smaller vials often cost more per dose)
Why does the price vary so much between injection and oral forms?
Injection products are usually more expensive than oral forms because they come in sterile, vial-based packaging and are typically used in clinical settings. Oral drops/tablets can be cheaper but may not be interchangeable for all medical uses.
Are there typical price ranges to expect?
Without the specific product details (strength, form, and quantity) it’s not possible to give a single reliable number. If you share:
- the dosage form (injection or oral),
- the strength (e.g., 10 mg/mL),
- the package size (vial count or bottle size),
- your country (and optionally zip/postal code),
I can narrow down what you should expect to pay and how to compare prices.
Do insurance and patient assistance change the price?
Yes. If phytonadione is prescribed as part of medical care, billing and pharmacy coverage can make the patient’s cost much lower than the cash retail price. Hospital procurement pricing can also differ from community pharmacy pricing.
What details should you check on the label before comparing prices?
Make sure you’re comparing the same:
- drug name (phytonadione)
- formulation (injection vs oral)
- strength per mL or per tablet/drop
- package size
- concentration (especially for injections)
How to get a quick accurate quote
If you want the fastest way to confirm current pricing, you can ask your pharmacy for the cash price and the insured copay for the exact prescription, or request the NDC/strength so you can compare apples-to-apples.
