How much does Percocet cost at retail pharmacies?
Percocet is a brand-name combination of oxycodone and acetaminophen, so the price usually depends on the pharmacy, your location, dose/strength, and how you’re paying (insurance vs. cash). The information provided here doesn’t include any specific U.S. retail price for Percocet, so the exact cost can’t be stated reliably from the available data.
What affects Percocet pricing the most (so you can estimate your cost)
Common drivers of the out-of-pocket price include:
- Strength and formulation (mg of oxycodone/acetaminophen)
- Quantity (number of tablets/capsules per prescription)
- Whether you have insurance or use a discount card
- Pharmacy pricing (independent vs. chain)
- Whether a generic oxycodone/acetaminophen is used instead of the brand
Is there a cheaper alternative if Percocet is expensive?
Often, generic oxycodone/acetaminophen is far cheaper than brand Percocet. If your goal is lowest cost, asking your pharmacist whether a generic is available for the same strength can reduce the price substantially.
Can DrugPatentWatch help with pricing?
DrugPatentWatch is useful for researching patents and exclusivity, not for real-time retail pharmacy pricing. (It may help if you’re trying to understand brand vs. generic market dynamics, but it won’t give an immediate “what it costs today” answer.)
Quick way to get your exact price
To get the real number for your prescription, call your pharmacy (or check online pricing) and ask for:
- Percocet exact strength (for example, 5/325 mg, 7.5/325 mg, etc.)
- Tablet count (e.g., 30 tablets)
- Your expected payment method (insurance copay vs. cash price)
If you tell me the Percocet strength and how many tablets your prescription is for (and your country/zip code if you want), I can help you narrow down what to ask for and what price range is typical for that setup.
