How much does Xtampza ER cost (and what affects the price)?
Xtampza ER (extended-release oxycodone) prices vary based on strength (mg), dosage form, and whether you’re paying cash or using insurance (copay). Your pharmacy’s negotiated price and your location can also change what you actually pay.

What does a pharmacy cash price usually look like?
Cash prices for branded extended-release opioids like Xtampza ER often differ widely by pharmacy and by dose strength. The most reliable way to get the current number is to request a same-day price quote from your pharmacy for the exact strength and quantity you need.
If you tell me the Xtampza ER strength (for example, 9 mg, 13.5 mg, 18 mg, etc.) and the number of tablets you need, I can help you figure out what to ask for (and which alternatives or savings options to look at).
Are there cheaper alternatives (generic or other oxycodone ER products)?
Because Xtampza ER is a branded product, some patients lower costs by switching to another extended-release oxycodone option (or a generic when available), but substitutions depend on your prescriber’s instructions and your dosing regimen.
If you share your dose and how many times per day you take it, I can help you identify which nearby options people commonly compare on price.
Where to check price right now (quick steps)
- Call your pharmacy with the exact Xtampza ER strength and quantity and ask for the cash price.
- Ask what your insurance copay would be for the same strength.
- If you have insurance, confirm whether prior authorization is needed (common with some opioids).
- Compare against another in-network pharmacy if cost is high.
Can insurance or coupons reduce the price?
Your final cost is often driven by formulary tier and any prior authorization requirements. Some branded drugs also have manufacturer savings programs, but eligibility depends on insurance type.
If you tell me whether you have Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, or no insurance, I can point you to the most relevant savings approach to ask about.
